'What?' Her voice came out groggy on the phone. There is a shuffling in the background. I bet I have disturbed her slumber. She is stirring up. I feel a tad bit of guilt for bothering her.
'She is the reason behind numerous sleepless nights, Pia. It's time she tastes her own medicine.' A voice in my head smirks evilly. It is proud of what it is doing. The taste of revenge is always the sweetest.
'I thought you would be working your tail off. I bet you don't love your brother enough to get him out, huh.' My voice came out more amused than I'd intended it to be.
'My neck is excruciating. The agony is unreal. I thought a break would help me enhance my productivity. Got any clue?' There was an inevitable hope in her voice. It melts my heart and I have a deep urge for giving in. My heart wants to stop the act and move forward to reach out.
'In a way, I have a deal for you.' The devil speaks. There is a deep silence on the other side. I wait for her to speak first. I badly want to get her reaction.
