Come shine

Aviana remained squatting on the ground for a long time, as she sobbed bitterly. She stopped sobbing when she noticed her phone ringing. She searched for it through her bag, and once she'd gotten it, she glanced at the caller id. It was Ethan calling. She wanted to answer the call, but she were hesitating. She didn't know what to tell him, she didn't know if she should tell him the truth? She glared at the phone ringing, without picking it up until it cut.

At this point, she realized there were seven missed calls all of which were from Ethan. She knew, he must have been worried for her. Rao must have arrived and found she'd left. And, maybe he reported to Ethan, maybe that's why he had been calling her phone. All this while, she'd been crying bitterly, engulfed in the situation, she failed to notice her phone ringing.

He was calling, again. This time, she took a breather, composed herself and answered the call.

"Hello Ethan. What's up?" she spoke calmly, trying to mask her sadness.
