The CALL




It had not been more than a minute that her cell beep'd .Also it wasn't for the first time that the message was flashing his name.

Several emotions were chasing one another across the soft , unblemished landscape of her thoughts.

She dial'd........

She knew that she wasn't greenhorn unable to follow her instincts but it was childthat resides in her heart , resisting her.

Her heart beats were like dark clouds encroaching , engulfing her landscape of thoughts.She was bemused by the battle she was wagging with her heart.

Words of her friend were constantly nagging her " You are a bit less realistic , try to be more realistic and you will understand that life isn't much complex as you see it"

She had two thoughts in her mind - either he shares her mind or he has appointed a spy. But she already knew that either of them is untrue.

Against the wishes of her conscious mind , her inner wanted to hear to him .

10 digits - distance she needed to cross

Tense 15 seconds , 4 long bells and a "hello" at both ends

Silence

It was broken by her.

In past few months , her heart was moving through deep and silent waters.No one and nothing could make really hurt her.No one and nothing could make her very happy.She was tough which probably is saddest thing about a person you can say .

But nothing was same as before . His voice had elated her .Everything was poised by his voice - which was soothing.There were no more dark clouds in her sky .

When things in life are beautiful , time fleds so fast . 455 seconds and things in life are bounded.They talked as they were used to.

Once he had said " I've really found something today"

But now she says " she had really founded something "

Why The Call ?

Its not merely about the call she made but the call of her innerself which she answered conquering all fears her little heart had.

Its about The Call which told her -

Life is simple - as she is trying to be more realistic

People are good- as she keeps faith in them

Sky is clear- as clouds aren't there

Sun's shining - for shadows to accompany her

And her star - still fighting the darkness

Thanks

Never thought a 7.5 min conversation can be expressed so beautifully, and the befitting sketch makes it even better. Its a wonderful composition.
