Kasturi. (part2)
In the previous part you've read about Kasturi a socially awkward, shy girl who met a guy online on her blogging site,
continued from there....

Kasturi was happy to have Bhushan in her life,
He has become a part of her daily routine, whenever they get time they used to chat, in the morning, during daytime, late at nights, they talked about their day to day life, their future plans,their dreams.

It's been a month since they started talking, a lot has changed in Kasturi's life till now, She has became more aloof than before, nothing bothered her now.
Neither the family and their restrictions nor the the other hardships she was facing.

But all this, doesn't felt right to Ritu.
Kasturi hardly called her once or twice, they didn't even meet as they were supposed to meet during the weekends.
Kasturi excused to Ritu about meeting as on weekends Bhushan had more time to talk to her.
Ritu was feeling left out but she doesn't want to say anything to Kasturi, she wanted her to be happy and Kasturi was happy with Bhushan.

Kasturi shared a few things about Bhushan with Ritu, like Bhushan is the only son in the family, he is a decent guy, although he never said it to Kasturi but she told Ritu that she can sense, he likes her.
Ritu asked her, has she seen him?
to which Kasturi replied, yes, they have exchanged pictures, and Bhushan told her that she is beautiful, she has beautiful smile and she should smile often.
Ritu could sense that her friend Kasturi was falling for that guy.

One day Kasturi texted Ritu, a normal conversation was going on, then suddenly Kasturi
texted she is worried for Bhushan.
As they haven't talked to each other for two days and she has no idea where he is..
Ritu tried to pacify her, because Kasturi was panicking, she was worried about Bhushan's well being.

10 days went by and there was no response to Kasturi's texts and his phone was unreachable.
All that happiness she had felt in the past month was gone, now she went quiet, even more quiet then before.
She was getting irked by simple talks or trivial matters, her behaviour changed to which her family didn't responded well and she was often scolded for this..

Ritu called her several times but she wasn't picking up her calls.
She was keeping her phone close in hope of getting a notification that will display Bhushan's name on it and a questions that linger in her brain.

Where is He?
Will he be fine?
Why isn't he replying to her ?
What did she do wrong ?
