The 3 Mistakes of My Life - A Story about Business, Cricket and Religion

'Wow, an Australian beach in my hands,' she said. She held it up with pride as
if I had presented the queen's stolen diamonds.
'I feel silly. I should have brought something substantial,' I said.
'No, this is perfect. Look there is a tiny shell inside,' she signalled me to lean
forward. Our heads met in a dull thud as we looked into the matchbox's contents.
Her toes touched mine as we inched closer.
'Ouch,' she said as she pulled her feet away.
'What?' I said.
'Nothing, the mosquito coil,' she said, 'I touched the hot tip.'
I sat back upright. Water droplets had passed from her hair to mine. Half the
mosquitoes hovering over her head had shifted over to mine as well.
'Why am I so cheap?' I said.
'It’s fine. The call would have cost something.'
'Yeah, five dollars and sixty cents,' I said and regretted talking like an
accountant the next second.
'There you go. Anyway, life's best gifts are free,' she said and pulled her hair
back to tie them with a rubber band.
I nodded. Ok, enough is enough, my inner Mr Logical told me. Time to study.
I opened the books. She asked the dreaded question. 'So how come you called?'
'I told you,' I mumbled.
'Did you really miss me?' she said and put her palm on my hand.
I pulled it back in reflex. She looked surprised.
'I am sorry, Vidya. I shouldn't. I have my business to focus on and this is really
not my thing, but...,' I said and turned away. I couldn't talk when I looked at her.
Or rather, I couldn't talk when she looked at me.
'It's ok, you don't have to be sorry,' she said.
'It's not ok. I don't have time for emotions,' ..........................
