Cross Connection

Shalini wrote her number and asked me to give it to Rohit. I tore the paper and wrote the number of a nearby public booth and gave him. I conveyed that Shalini wanted him to call at 2pm.

At 2pm I was waiting at the booth. I knew he would call.

The phone rang, perhaps first time in a long time.  I slowly said ‘hello’. He said ‘hello! Trina, good you changed the number, I always wanted to talk to you. You are cute’

And, I always stupidly thought he preferred Shalini over an ugly and dumb girl like me.
