Fragile Relationships

Mark's phone is ringing......he missed that....again it rings second time, he disconnect it.... again it rings...he is on his way to home after the hectic schedules of meetings and business plans...he slow downs the speed of his car..A sweet voice of  "Jeniffer" says baby why were u not picking up my call...??... you know am so excited to tell u that.....Jeniffer ' a weary sound comes ' cutting her voice halfway.....baby am about to reach home...will call u in few minutes....Jeniffer....stops...buuuutttttt...listen...ohhhh ok......its ok baby....call me as soon as possible am waiting...bye...love u.

As Mark reaches home.....he switched on the television set while changing the clothes.....the famous soccer match is coming...which draws his attention as his favorite team is on the ground ....he recollects"...what beautiful days were those when i was in college...I used to be the captain of my college soccer team...and we were on the top positions..." ....and suddenly the phone starts ringing ,which make him to come back from his golden memories ....again its Jeniffer....
hey Mark "what are you up to."....am waiting for your call from past half an hour....hey jenny...'he interrupt...I was just getting freshen up....was about to call  you.....suddenly the voice raises.......and finally... Andres Iniesta scores a goal for Spain. Congratulations to SPAIN.........'yes they won...I knew it'....Mark shouts in excitement....Jennifer on the other side.....in primitive voice says..' i thought you were about to call me...'...isnt it...??
Soon Mark realizes :......ohhhhh yes jenny i was about to call you...was just shuffling the channels..and.....was just....
Jeniffer (gets annoyed) :....stop it "Mark".....since morning we haven't talked as you were busy with your meetings.....and now also you are busy in this stupid things....
Mark :...this is not stupid.....whole world is watching this....and i told you i was about to call you....but you are...
Jeniffer : Ohhhhh..so now you'll do what whole world is doing......what about me....who is waiting since morning to talk to you...do i have any importance in your life...??
Mark :......jenny please..don't start it again...please calm down..."hey jenny hold on....my mom is calling me.....i'll just talk to her for few minutes...please wait.....the phones goes on holding beep...

Quantcast This infuriates jenny more....'she's on hold from past 10 minutes'.....suddenly the beep breaks into mark's voice..
Mark :...hey sorry for the hold...but you know how mom is....she started asking about each n everything ....about my diet, my work..
Jeniffer :....she sulked....."I don't want to know".....you don't have time for me....but you've time for whole world....
Mark : Excuse me..!!!...she's my mom jenny..she has full rights to call me anytime...
Jeniffer : Then who i am in your life.....you restrict me to call you in office hours....you prefer soccer match over me........now i have understood i don't have any place in your life...
Mark : Jenny now you're stretching the matter......just think whatever u want.....' why should i give explanation all the time...
Jeniffer :...because u don't have anything to say...and now don't even care for me(she starts weeping)......am putting the phone down, i just don't want to talk to you...don't call me now.....and the phone gets disconnected...
...............jenny is weeping...but still she's looking at her phone in a hope to get a call from Mark......but he didn't.....which increased her pain more....
On the other hand...Mark saying to himself....."let her calm down first".....she wont understand anything right now......and the night gets more darken.


        My question is.........was Jeniffer expecting much from him....??......or it was Mark who unintentionally neglected her..?
Its difficult to figure out because at certain level both are correct on their grounds but why the small thing created a big issue.....why the relationships are so fragile...??
