the frantic call!!

I m awake at 11:23 pm, deeply engrossed in the mystery novel that I intend to finish as soon as possible [I usually sleep by 10] .. I hear the familiar ring tone n it strikes me after a few secs that its my phone.. I swooped out of my chair to grab it.. it ws my good frnd Shona.. I wondered wat it ws!! after exchanging the initial greetings, she said she ws wishing that I ws awake.. I told her I ws reading the novel n would hit the bed wen atleast a chapter is over.. before I could guess wat it ws, she blurted out - "I wantd to confess something.." as I hear her say those words, my mind ws running to all possible thngs that could come next!! she continued as I tried to make her jump to the point skipping all the explanatory part.. she finally spoke up - " I ws always truthful to u except on one occasion wen I lied to u.." I wanted to shout out to her - 'speak up' bt maintaining calmness I asked her - "when?" she first wanted me to think about it n not get angry n fly off the handle..[ I hate it more wen someone tests my patience this way.. by talking abt unnecessary things rather thn coming to the point..]
she reminded me of the incidence wen i walked up to a guy to tell him that she liked him.. she said she had already told him that I would do something like that n that I shouldn't b taken seriously.. she jst skipped the second sentence while telling me the things at that time..
" so what!! " I shouted out.. I tried to explain her that it ws jst hiding a few facts n not lying n that I wasn't anrgy at all after knowing this... she said she was afraid that I would do this n thus was jst trying to prevent the guy knowing that fact.. [ I felt it ws jst that she didn't want to let the guy know she likes him.. whether it ws from me or from her own mouth...] whatever may be the case, but one thing is for sure.. I wont loose temper on this!! n that too wen the matter is atleast an year old ... [ I know that she would definately b upset if I were the one confessing..] but I think time is a very big factor n after all this time, I hardly care about what the guy must have thought about my action.. I did what a friend should do .. No matter i sounded hysterical n somewhat out of my mind .. but I dont intend to make good impressions on everyone I meet !!!
the next few mins were spent in telling her that this wont affect our friendship n that I m not the slightest agitated with this.. n how foolish of her it ws to spill the beans now, when the chapter ws closed long ago!!
