Are you at home?
Are you at home? I ignored it and continued with my daily routine. After some time, I got the same message again.
I took a break from my daily routine and looked into the number. It was an international number, and I ignored it again. After ten minutes, I got a call—yes, from the same unknown number! I did not answer. But when the call came again, I accepted the call to find out who was behind this and heard, "Are you at home?" I was shocked for a minute and thought of a scene from "Scary Movie, "yes, the phone call scene. I knew it was a prank call and asked, "Who are you, and what do you want?" He again asked, "Are you at home?" I was a bit tense and immediately cut the phone off.

Twenty minutes later, my doorbell rang. "Oh, my God! Who is this now?" I asked myself. I peered through the peephole and found no one. I switched on my mobile to call security. The doorbell rang again, followed by a voice asking, "Are you at home?"I shuddered, and the voice made my blood run cold. I did not dare to open the door and instead sat down on the couch.

Within seconds, I got a return call from the security guard. He said, "Sir ji, please open the door. We are standing out."
"Who can the other person be?" I thought. Oh, no, it should be the same guy who texted me and called me, and now he has reached my doorstep. Indeed, this is the height of a prank." I then warned the security guard, "You should immediately ask the person to leave the building."

"Sir ji, please open the door. There is nothing to worry about. Just look through the peephole now." I looked and saw someone standing outside; it was my cousin's brother. I opened the door immediately. He had just landed and had to know if I was at home! So he texted me; when I did not respond, he called me, and when I did not answer, he came straight to my apartment. It was his new number. Sometimes it happens!
