Surprise Conversations
The
clock struck 12 and the cell rang. I felt the vibrations of the cell and I lift
the call. I could hear people talking to each other. None of them talking to
me. I waited for a while for them to respond and when I was about to cut the
call I heard a sweet voice in the background wishing me ‘Happy birthday.’ I couldn’t recognize the voice, but yeah I had
heard that voice before. Trying to recognize that voice, I sprung up on my bed
and to my surprise the cell was switched off. I was stunned at the first sight
of the cell being switched off, but later realized that I had turned it off in
order to have a good sleep.
Was
it just a dream? If yes, how come that came sharp at midnight and who was the
person talking on the cell? Everything seemed to be so familiar but still
everything was different. Every voice in the background was heard but yet
remained unheard. If not a dream. It could have been a telepathic conversation.
Sounds like exaggeration, but as of now these are the only assumptions that I
can do.
The whole day my mind was revolving around
that. The search for the person behind the so called ‘telepathic conversation’
became more and more interesting when I could feel people talking around me and
when there was no one close by. This had now turned into a suspense case which
had to be cracked at any cost. In a while, there was another day dream, which
hopefully I guessed it right was my grandpa saying, “Stay patient everything
will fall at place.” These words were very comforting, but I found it really
difficult to let go thinking of the voice
behind the call.
The
day passed and thoughts kept creeping in trying to figure out the person behind
the telepathic call. The birthday wishes from almost all my cousins were telephonic
and all were at night. The calls were done and the day had almost come to an
end, but the mystery was still a mystery. It was bed time and I lay on the bed
still thinking about the voice. There
was a flashback of all the things happened in the day starting from the midnight
telepathic call. There was a peculiar sound in the background which went
unnoticed when I first heard it. It was ‘Lo***i’. Finally recognized the voice.
It was Ruchi my cousin sissy. The
sounds in the background were of all the cousins together. When I sprung up on
my bed my sister gave me the phone saying that I had received a call from my
school friend and when I was done with the call, she wished me ‘Happy Birthday’, this was the same voice
I had heard at the end of the call.
“Surprises
are not planned, they just happen.”
