10.15pm
Today is his birthday. At
12.00am I called him..
P: Happy birthday dear..!!
R: Thank you so much..and
thanks for calling.
(The moment I wanted to say
something else, his friends started singing the birthday song for him..they all
were shouted at their high voice. So I was not able to say anything. He told me
he will call me back, so I kept the phone down)
Night went away…morning came
with blossom in its air. Again I had one more interview today..but today it was
with his wishes. Till afternoon I was busy with interview and in travelling. I
came home at 3.00pm and went to sleep..I was so tired.
At 3.00pm he was supposed to
call me and tell me about the gift..which I gifted to him thanks to Internet,
whether he liked it or not. As I worked on it for 1 month to make his b’day
special and then I came to know about my new passion for writing.
R calling…3.30pm
P: hello
R: hello..you sleeping??
P: yes!!
R: ok..then I’ll call in the evening..u sleep.
P: yes!!
R: ok..then I’ll call in the evening..u sleep.
P: ohkk..byee
R: byee
R: byee
I understood he called me to
tell about the gift. The gift I had planned for him..it was two articles.
Articles on us..on our conversation..our short story..of “R” & “P”. Both
the articles were related to telephonic conversation we had. He called me in
the evening around 8 o’clock.
R calling…
(With a smile I picked his
call)
P: hello..happy birthday..!!
R: thanks
P: so how’s your day? How did
you celebrate your b’day?
R: mine day was good and celebration got over at
midnight only..now just a simple dinner with friends.
(I understood what celebration
they had at midnight)
P: ohkk..
(so after a formal talk..eagerly I wanted to ask him how did you find my gift? Because I knew it he himself will never answer unless I ask..but he started with)
R: how’s your interview?
P: There was no
interview..they took a test and they told us they will inform.
R: ohk..so how’s the test?
P: It was ok-ok types.
(Wanted to know about gift
whether he liked it or not but he was keep on asking about other world’s
story..irritating!!)
R: but why ok-ok?? You were
not prepared for it?
P: ahh..!! leave this
now..I’ll tell you the whole story about my interviews and test tomorrow..but
for now you tell me why you called me in the afternoon?
(Without asking directly I
asked him indirectly…because I made such an effort for him..at least he should
review about it..or else say a thanks to me)
R: ya I called you because you
only told me to call at 3.00pm
(Now he was really making me
irritate. Yes I told him to call me around 3.00pm to tell me about the gift
only)
P: ohh really!! Then something
else also I told you. Now finally tell me how did you find my gift?
(Without wasting a single
minute I only asked him..because I was waiting for his call only)
R: first thank you so much for
the gift. I liked it very much. Such gift has nobody given to me I’ll take out
the print of that short story and will keep with me.
P: (smiling and blushing) your
welcome.
We talked for 1 hour almost.
He made my day and I knowingly or unknowingly made his b’day special…which I
wanted to. I am happy for both..yes he liked my gift very much and to know this
part of me..that I can write also...because these articles were the very first one with which I started writing.
He then told me how the flow
of story was…how he wanted to read and read more about us..our conversation. He
told me..how he felt while he was reading..he wanted our story should never
have an end..he told me he wanted our story to be like a book..and told me to
write. He himself said..this gift is very precious to me.
Birthdays are very special..!!
