The phone rang.
"Hi, sunshine," she woke him up with her warm voice.
"Hello, ...".
A smile spread across his face—it was the call he had been aching for all morning.
"Ek minute, earphone laga raha..." he said, fumbling with his pocket, knowing this wasn’t a conversation to be held while awkwardly balancing the phone in his hand.
Seconds passed.
"Okay, laga liya earphone," he said, the smile still lingering as he prepared for a long, uninterrupted chat.
But silence followed.
He glanced at the screen On Hold.
And just like that, the excitement turned to ashes, the words he longed to share lost to the void.
