"Hullo" .....silence
"Hullo" someone sobbing
"Is Paayal Mehra home?"
"No ...are you crying?"
"Sorry I disturbed you at this hour"
"It's fine I was up, is anything wrong?"
Pause...... "Hello you there or not?"
"Yeah who are you?"
"Well you called right you should know who you'r talking to"
"But you'r not Paayal...I .. I had called her"
"Yes I'm her dead boyfriend thought I'd give her a christmas present.... back from the grave" chuckles softly.
"Oh sorry Merry Christmas are you christian?"
"No I'm not but I like christmas trees, wrapped presents. I dress up as Santa sometimes to scare children"
Laughs softly.
"So why were you crying?"
"It's nothing really I must go now thanks for your help"
"What help for not turning out to be Paayal..." laughs aloud "I'm quite surprised the telecommunication department still makes errors huh!"
"I didn't get you"
"Oh hun don't you get it, it's a wrong number this is most definitely not Paayal's house and I for sure am not Paayal neither am related to her"
"Oh I'm so sorry then I thought you were her brother or someone from her family"
"Tell me is this Paayal hot.... are you in love with her... did she dump you or something"
Worriedly "No... no and no I'm not a lesbian" irritated declaration.
"Ah straight huh just like me" smiling in pleasure.
"Why are you up so late" shuffles papers.
"Working on a project bloody presentations still not done"
"Are you in university?"
Laughs jovially "Nah , work got my own place gonna expand it" gulps some cola.
"Are you drinking something?" remembering earlier had decided to drink something
"Yeah cola, want some it's chilled"
"I think I'll get some milk for myself"
Almost drops the can "You'r kidding right, how old are you 12. God tell me I'm not talking to a minor"
Laughs softly again her laughter tinkling he listens mesmerized
"I'm 21 and no I'm not a minor"
Smiles against the mouthpiece "Thank God so where are you?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean where in India are you... hey what did you think?'
Blushing slightly "I thought... uh well I'm in Mumbaii"
"Ha you thought I was one of those cheap flirts now didn't you"
"Yes I did ..... sorry" shuts fridge in haste.
"You got your milk?" laying down on the bed.
"Yeah I think I'll heat it up"
"No don't!"
"Why?"
"Trust me... you got chocolate powder, Milo even?"
"Hmm" Rummaging through cupboards "Yeah there is Milo"
"Good mix it in the cold milk and drink"
"Is it good?'
"I wouldn't be suggesting it otherwise. Do you have cookies?"
"Yeah a few" finding a packet in one of the drawers.
"Eat one for me... damn I'm hungry"
Giggling "Then go eat something"
"Can't"
"Why not?'
"I've got a damsel in distress to help"
"No it's ok I'm fine now" gulping the milk.
"But why were you crying?"
"Paayal has my notes for the psychology test tomorrow"
Gasps in wonder "You've got to be kidding me, you were crying for notes"
"You don't know if I flunk again this year my dad will kill me"
"All dads are ready to kill don't worry your's will get over his monstrous phase too"
"You sure"
"Yeah yeah had a dad once'
"What do you mean had?"
"Lost my family in a car accident two years back"
Whispers "I'm so sorry"
"It's ok I've learnt to live the lonely life"
"Don't you have anyone with you?'
"Yes I have.... memories... they keep me company"
"Don't you have a girlfriend or wife? How old are you?"
"I'm 25 no don't have a wife. Have a girlfriend though she's damn sexy"
"Really do you like sexy women?"
"Hmm shouldn't I?" smiling.
"I don't know"
"You got a boyfriend?'
"No but I have a friend"
"A friend... just a friend"
"Who ..Paayal? I thought you were straight"
"Uff his name's Neev he and I are friends since childhood"
"You love him..."
"I don't know"
"You know anything?"
"I know who I am"
"Who are you?"
"A certified loser" sighing
"Why are you a certified loser?'
"I feel like one"
"Just because Paayal is gonna study your notes doesn't mean you'r a loser so shut up" slightly irked.
Silence....
"Hey what happened?"
"You told me to shut up"
"Woman you'r something... honestly" chuckles again.
Smiles walks up to the bedroom and lies on the bed.
"What are you doing now?"
"Trying to sleep"
"While talking to me? am i boring you?"
"No but I'm very tired had a very hectic day"
"Why what did you do?"
"The usual went to the office spent an entire day trying to figure out what my boss wants from me. Went to college then, I attend an evening one and well was studying now till I realized Paayal had my notes"
"Hmm you wanna sleep I'll sign off"
"No... stay.. please"
"Ok... can you sing?"
"Sort of last I sang at the college party last week"
"Sing for me"
"What!!! I can't I mean how can I"
"Please..."
Silence....
"Fine I won't press you"
"Ok I'll sing but please I'm not good at it so bear with me"
"I will " closing eyes for concentration.
"Gunj raha hai dil main najaaney kab sey tumhaara naam
Gunj raha hai dil main najaaney kab sey tumhaara naam
Aao rasta dekh rahi hai gehri neeli shaam.
Baadal parbat jheel parindey jharney phool hawa
Puuch rahey hain yeh sab mujh sey tum aaogey kiya
Hmmm tum aaogey kiya
Inki ummeedain merey sapney honey na do nakaam
Aao rasta dekh rahi hai gehri neeli shaam
Gehri neeli shaam
Ab aa jaao honey nahin do pyaar ka yeh anjaam
Aao rasta dekh rahi hai gehri neeli shaam."
Listens in wonder.
Stops singing.... "So"
"You've got a beautiful voice I swear"
"Really?" asks softly
"Really" assures gently.
"Thank you"
"For what?"
"For talking to me"
"Any time, you sleep now got a long day tomorrow"
"Best of luck with your project... I mean presentation"
"Thanks, you can call me again if you lose any pencils, pens or books" laughs good naturedly.
"Good night Cola boy"
"Good night Milo girl"
