THE LAST CALL
Recently, one if these evenings, I invited my friend for playing the new PlayStation game with me
He was late from the time that he was going to show up at my place
Suddenly my phone rang and undoubtedly it was him
He updated me with his location and said he'll reach in exactly 10 mins, also insisting not to start the game without him
About 7-8 mins later I got another call from the city hospital which said that my friend who was on his way to my place had an accident and died on the spot approximately past 20 mins
The location they mentioned was the same as the one my friend updated me about
Suddenly, my house went out of electricity and the inverter was somehow showing the overload sign
I was finding it hard fix the inverter as I could barely see anything around me without the lights
Then I realized the only thing working on inverter was the door bell which now was ringing in an unusual manner
I looked at the time in my phone
And it was exactly 10 mins from my friend's call .
