A phone call
“Yes, now you tell me a story! When you had a birthday experience", said Payal. It was 3 o'clock at night, when Arjun replied, "Ok then! I was some 12 years old. I was excited about my birthday as I was about to start my journey as a teenager. In the evening, I found no one present at home. There was no noise or light in the house. I reached the hall, that's when the doorbell rang".
“Then, what happened? ", asked Payal. " Though I was scared, I had to know who it was. I took small steps towards the door and as soon as I opened the door. My friends shouted HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARJUN!! My parents turned on the light of the house that's when I saw how beautifully the hall was decorated".
"Wow! That was really nice", replied Payel.
This is how there conversation ended that day. The next day Arjun decided to call Payal in the evening. At 8 o'clock, he does as he planned but his call wasn't answered. He tried 5 times after that, but still no answer. "May be she is busy in something", he thought to himself.
The next day, he checked his phone. “Strange!”, Payal didn't even text him. He calls her again and again but none were answered. He thought to himself, "Why is she not answering my call? Is she busy? But then she could have texted me once. " Arjun got reminded of the fact that few days ago, they had a fight, when Payal said that one day she would stop talking to him as he doesn't give her time. "Did she get angry on me? ". His phone rings. Arjun picks up the phone call, " Hello! Payal. Hey, what's wrong? Anything...", someone replies from the other side in a male tone, "Who's this? I am her dad". Arjun in a shocking tone says, " Hi uncle. I am Arjun. Where's Payal? "
Payal's dad starts crying. Arjun stood frozen. “What happened to Payal? Why is her dad crying over the phone call?”
The door bell rings. Arjun took small steps towards the door, his mind was unstable, he was unable to understand what was happening. He opens the door, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARJUN! ", wish his friends. He could see Payal standing with a cake.
