Friends

"Hi."

"Hey hi. How have you been? It's been such a long time that we chatted."

"Yeah, quite some time. I am doing fine yaar. How have you been?"

"I have been doing good too. Life has become hectic, but I am better this way."

"Hmm, good to know you are fine."

"Hmm. So tell me. How come you called? Any special news?"

"No, nothing special. Actually, I was just feeling a little lonely. A bit out of place. So thought of calling you."

"I hope all is well. Anything serious?"

"No, not at all. Nothing wrong, nothing serious. In fact, everything's just perfect. Hmm, yeah, everything's fine. As I said, just lonely. It suddenly felt as if I had lost touch with myself. And then, suddenly thought of you."

When he hung up, he knew it was the longest chat that he had had in a long, long time.
