The mobile phone vibrated crying out a polyphonic ringtone.

AJ
woke up in a flash and pressed the green button of the set.
AJ : Hello,ya SP
faint crying sounds were herad on the other side of the phone.after a while
the voice seemed to correct itself as if forcibly trying to speak, clearng up the
nasal fluids that was choking his voice and then he said"mummy is no more".
AJ said nothing except "ok i am reaching the hospital in 10 mins.hold up
yourself"
AJ looked at the mobile after disconnecting
and the numbers 4.10 am were waiting to be noticed.sleep had vanished to
hell within seconds.tears rolled down his eyes as the pictures of his aunt
flashed one after another.the moment the call came he knew aunt had
passed away.he composed himself and got ready in no time and started
cycling through the night to the hospital.time seemd to have stopped .he felt
as if this journey will not end.anyhow he reached the hospital in 10 mins
which seemed like an hour.he threw his cycle on the pave ment and went
running and climbing two stairs and their he stood motionless as if the owrld
had ended.indeed the world had ended for him.SP saw AJ and uncontrolled
emotions found their way through their eyes.he hugged AJ and cried his heart
out resting his head on AJ's shoulders.AJ could not have possibly known how
to react.tears were reciprocated and he just patted SP on his back.Then both
went inside.
