The confusion

Arizona could not shake off the incident with Callie. She was a very shy person in the heart but today she did not know why she walked towards that woman and wanted to talk. She did not know about her, but she certainly wanted to know more. She saw a kind of sadness in that other lady. She felt horrible that she even did not ask her name. On the way, Sama, Arizona's close friend started teasing, "keera is also coming- you two can grab the drinks and can occupy my room for tonight."

"Not tonight." Arizona started feeling very edgy. "I am tired. I am going back to my place. Mum must be waiting for me."

Sama and Jona had a look exchange with each other- it was very unlikely that Arizona would say no drinks and sex.

Arizona looked out of the window. She felt that the other woman was not going to call her. The woman seemed quite older than her, but Arizona just felt a connection- the connection she had never felt with anyone. She was bound to walk to a stranger and talking. But, she did not silly even for a second, rather she knew it was the right thing to do. She inhaled a deep cool breath in her lungs in the process of getting rid of those weird feelings.

It's been weeks that Callie was back to work. She worked as a research associate at a university.

"Why are you sad?" Leena asked she was Callie's closest colleague in the research lab.

"Dr. Yan, don't bother me today?" Callie would use professional salutation when she was not in a mood to talk.

"You wanna tell me…" Leena smiled a bit.

Callie huffed a little and went back to her desk knowing that Leena is like a leecher- she was not going to spare her. "The divorce is done. I just feel bad for him. It was not his fault that I could not love him. Moreover, I have a daughter and that worries me a lot." Callie looked up hoping a supportive face but saw a flat face instead. Leena squished her little nose a little and said, "it's okay."

"It's not okay Leena. I feel guilty for separating my daughter from her father." Callie spoke in a single breath.

"But you did. So, stop being sad about something which is making you free as well. Didn't you want to feel free? So, now you are free. Grab boys…grab girls…"

"Leena, you are impossible…" But Callie stopped half way and remembered about that tissue paper. She started looking for it in the pockets of her jeans. She didn't remember where she put that tissue paper with that girl's phone number.

"What are you looking for?"

"A girl gave me her number…" Callie was still looking for that tissue paper here and there…

"I thought you were sad over this divorce and now you are looking for a girl's phone number?"

"It's not like what you are thinking…" Callie sadly sat back on her chair. She had forgotten about that girl completely. What was her name? "Angel….nah… Angelina…." Leena left Callie in her thoughts and went back to the lab. Callie felt a little annoyed that she forgot the name even. She was so forgetful all the time. Her mum always wondered how she completed her doctoral studies with this short memory. But her short memory remembered those curious eyes… Callie remembered a girl with big eyes and curly hair.

Arizona knew that the other lady was not going to call her. She even did not know her name. she did not know why she was feeling so restless. She came back from her memory lane when the phone started buzzing. It's Ash- there must be another booze party. She was so fed up with these shallow people. She was also in booze, in smoking, and into sex, but she wasn't happy with these things anymore.

"Tell me when the party is." Arizona reluctantly asked.

"it's a lunch party. My dad asked me to go and I want you to go with me."

"Why me?" Arizona hated parties and she knew that Ash would find a hot guy in a minute and she would be left alone.

"Because it would be a boring party and also dad wanted to talk to you about your new project." Ash played her card.

Arizona knew what Ash was doing but she also needed to talk to Mr. Basely since she needed a sponsor of her project. "Okay…I will go."
