A Phone Call - Turning Point of my life

It was --/--/20--, 9:13pm (Date I can’t mention)

I was working on my laptop. Just an hour of work left and I could go to bed in peace. I had been denying my friends for drinks. I was not in a mood even to drink today. This new project had put a toll on me.

I was done with my work when I thought of checking my previous email Id. I had a feeling since morning that I was forgetting something about today. Maybe my old yahoo Id could give me the answer. There were some 599 mails! I didn't remember when was the last time I checked it. Anyway Yahoo had some serious spam issues. In the first two pages I couldn't find anything important and assumed that the rest were useless as well. I was about to open the spam box my friend called me, "come soon". I shut down my PC, stood up and stretched myself. I was thinking about today. I told my friends to wait, let me charge my phone and be back.

As I joined my friends, my phone rang. I let it ring. I heard the shower running. One of my friend had gone for a shower. The phone rang once again. It was an unknown number. I answered the call.

"Hello"
           No voice from the other end. Who would think of giving blank calls!!
           "Hellooo" this time I raised my voice.
           "Hello" said a feeble female tone.
           "Yes, who is this?"
           “Name that can’t mention" she sighed almost leaving a cry.

I felt myself getting weak.

"*******" (Let’s take a random name) I whispered.

"I missed you kashyap" she said in that soft voice which could make me do anything!

I felt myself losing control. My weakness gave way to anger. I had once wanted only one chance to talk to her and today when she had called I didn't know what to say!

"Why you call me!" I tried to get angry but failed. Somewhere it still hurt to shout at her.

"Kashyap, I m.. I m really sorry. "
           "Sorry! That's all you say after all that you did year back?"
           "A 2 years kashyap.. 2 years and 4 hours back. I have been counting." she murmured.

"kashyap I want to see you. Take it as my last wish."

"What?? Where are you ?" I couldn't stop worrying.
            "At home. Please kashyap meet me once." she pleaded.

I asked her why you want me to meet?

What happened? She was crying and said “nothing just want to see you and want to tell you something that you don’t know.”

I agreed to meet her. As I kept down the receiver I realized my eyes were moist.

I went back to my friends who were angry. I pacified them.

"Sorry yaar, very tired" I muttered.

My friends were furious at my behavior.

In all these years she hadn't bothered about me then why was she remembering me today? I had forgotten the tragedy which brought into my life but today she reminded me the pain again.

Should I meet her?

But I didn’t meet her.

Few Months Later…

 

When I tried to call her… but for she didn’t pick my call.

One day she picked my call and said “Hey, kashyap how are you?

I said,” I’m ok! And I’m coming to meet you! Then she said no need… I’m already married.

First tell me one thing why you use to think that you are always right? Did you ever try to understand me? (She was sobbing and said ok! Leave it! Take care… bye!)

After hearing that thing, I can’t say anything to her.

Just said, “Ok! Take care"

And she Hung up....

                                 ***THE END***
