Phone rang, it was sounding a bit louder as there was silence all around in the darkness.
Eyes were forced to open, I could partially see my mobile phone. I picked it up and saw it’s an unknown number. Then my mind moved my sight at the top of the screen to see the time. It was 3 am. I again saw the number, my eyes became wide open then. It was a number I don’t want to save in my phone directory but the number that has been saved in my heart since I don’t know when, as I didn’t realised when it got saved.
At that time, I was in a utter shock and surprise- whether to slide a green icon or red one or I should just silence the phone. My heart was eager to know the reason behind this sudden call, and mind was blank. So, I had to give up before my heart. And then what happened was something I could not even think of in my day dreams as well.
I heard a voice, he was crying and he called my name in that soft soothing voice. I replied in a subtle way by humming only, just to give notice to him that I was listening. He said that he don’t know what was right and what was wrong but he needed me, he wanted to be with me, and that’s all he could say and I could hear.
My chain of thoughts got intermixed to such an extent that I couldn’t find a way to entangled it. Until I could come back in my proper senses, the phone hanged up. Within a few seconds, I called him up again, but that unknown number was unreachable then. I again tried for many times, response was same. I again tried in the morning, evening, night and so on for many days, but the reply was same- unreachable. It’s still unreachable and so is he.
Now, I don’t know should I remember those few seconds as the best moments of my life or worst nightmare of my life.
