Torns

Episode 41

She walked out of the lecture hall with her black bag strapped to her shoulder and her car keys in the other hand. Four of her course-mates, a guy and three girls fell into step with her. They had become are regular passengers.

They complained about the date of the first semester examination. She wasn’t bothered because she had defended her project. She would be able to prepare for the examination without distractions. She heard the ringtone of her phone. She dipped a hand into the bag and brought out her Blackberry Passport and iphone.

“Hello.”

“Hello love.”

The sound of his voice warmed her heart, “Dante, you didn’t call last night,” she followed her course-mates into the elevator.

“I am so sorry. I got home late last night. I was worn out and I slept on an empty stomach.”

“Aww…”
“The demand for our product is pretty high. We are producing twice as much. More workers have been employed. Things are pretty busier over here.”

“More work, more money.”

She heard him laugh.
