Hunter is back!!

He was ready to step out  of the house when the phone rang. He did not even bother to see who was calling. He answered "Aura, I am just stepping out. Please be patient na"  He got startled to hear a male voice at the other end "Dude, is that the only person who calls you?"
"Hunter saale, where are you?"
"Perth, where else."
"When did you get back? Why did you not tell me that you have come?"
"I wanted to surprise you, but guess you have other plans"
"Enough saale, tell me when are we meeting?"
"Could be now, I am just outside your place. But looks like you have much more important meetings with much more important people"
"Stop pulling my leg now. Its been long, more than three months. Lets meet now and go for lunch"
"I don't want to ruin your plans, you have your priorities"
"Dont worry, I ll manage. Right now you are my priority."
"Ok then, come out. I am just outside. Lets kill it today"
"Alright, in a second"

Hunter had to go to Singapore for a project for 3 months and things had changed a lot during this period. The biggest of course was that Ritvesh met Aura. Hunter was worried as to how Ritvesh would survive. He made him promise that he would work on this drinking issues, which he conveniently ignored. He was lifeless back then, and how things turned around. Hunter knew that Ritvesh was much happier but he could not gauge the extent to which he was.

Ritvesh, meanwhile was trying to call Aura and give her the disappointing news but she would not pick up. He tried thrice but to no avail. It was bothering him that she did not answer but he had not choice than to meet Hunter now. He saw Hunter waiting for him outside. He tried one last time to reach Aura but she would not pick up. Both buddies decided to go for a lunch and a few drinks thereafter.

As soon as Ritvesh got into the car, his phone started buzzing. He got a text from Aura apologizing for not having answered his calls and asking if anything urgent and also if he was on his way. He was unsure as to how to respond to that. Whichever way he tried to put it, Aura would be angry, sad, frustrated and disappointed: all at once. She was not a typical girl who would cry. But you never know with girls, they are like weather - you can forecast all you want about rains, but more often than not you are wrong. Hunter saw him turn pensive and asked him if everything was fine. Of course Ritvesh would not say anything. He just nodded and started replying to Aura that he wont be able to make it as he had a surprise visit and the rest of message filled with "Sorrys" sent it and then started waiting for the response. For the next few minutes he received nothing which made him all the more worried. He quickly realized that he is going to make two people very unhappy - Aura by not being with her and Hunter by being with him only physically. He kicked himself for having gotten into such a situation and decided to fix at least one. He put his phone away and started chatting with Hunter about his Singapore trip.

Hunter being Hunter had a great time in Singapore. He shared his fun moments with Ritvesh and there were many of them. Ritvesh too got into the flow and forgot all about his mobile and Aura. After lunch they decided to go for a couple of beers. Couple turned to 5 which soon turned to a lot more, Ritvesh lost count after 6....
