Peony's hand shakes trying to dial Natalie's mom's number.
"Call her now Peony," Nia prompts.
Peony finally calls her mom.
"Hello, I'm Peony, Natalie's friend," Peony softly says.
Natalie's mother who picks up the call asks, "Peony! How are you? It has been a while since you called. Your phone number also changed."
"Yes, I changed it and I am fine," Peony hesitates and finally sighs, "It is about Natalie..."
"What about her Peony? I was about to ask her to invite you for her engagement with Ash it must be for that right?," Natalie's mom was beaming with enthusiasm not knowing the true nature of her relationship with Ash.
It was becoming difficult for her to deliver the news. Nia held her hand tight trying to calm her senses.
