There was a long pause from the other side of the phone and just when he thought that the woman would not make any comment on his statement, as usual, she spoke up, ''And what good will it do you if you continue holding grudges against a person who is no longer there in this world? You tried to irk her with everything when she was alive. It has been two years since her death and you are still...'' the woman sighed, ''...you are still taking revenge for what she did. But is the revenge worth it? Are you just not ruining yourself in the process?" 

''I hate her,'' he said within a beat, tears welled up in his eyes and he glanced at the sky. He loved her and missed her too.
