Chapter 11

The voice sounded rather lazy and distort as if woken up from sleep. Asben looked at the watch it was only 10.30pm, what kinda guy goes to sleep at this hour he thought but he carried on with his conversation. "Hello there" "this is Asben, a friend of Ashmi" he introduced himself, and suddenly as if someone had poured some chilling water to his face Sammy came to his full senses " Yes, Hello there, so nice of you to call me" " Your friend saw my message?" Asben replied positive, to which Sammy asked "Is she around, can i talk to her?" Asben was a bit apprehensive about it and lied to him about her presence.

Sammy was awestruck to recieve this call. He never had expected it, though he gave his best shot. But now this was it, if today he didnt get to talk to her, he thought he never will. So he requested Asben to connect him to her and said he didnt have any dirty cards up his sleeve to play with her. Somehow Asben believed him and passed the phone to Ashmi.

Ashmi wasnt ready for it. She kept staring at the phone and didnt know what to say. She gathered her distraught nerves and managed a "Hello". And the magic started from there. The voice she heard was something she would remember her whole life. Sammy said " Hello, Ashmi!" His voice mixed with love, gratitude & passion just kept on ringing in her ears.
