He dials her number.

The number you are trying to reach is currently busy. Please try again later.

He disconnects and tries again but yet again, it gave the same message.

What is wrong with me? Why am I acting so desperate? Just because I got a random call from some unknown person, I left my suicide mission in between and travelled back into this hell just to charge this idiotic phone. All because of this stupid crappy phone.

No, it's because of you! I warned you not to open your eyes and instead continue to jump but you just ignored me.

I am sorry for not listening to you.

Yeah yeah! Now what are you looking at throw the stupid phone and get going. You can still make it for dinner with Mr. Yamraj if you start now.

Hmm.. okay!

He pulls out the charging from mobile and lifts his hand to smash the phone when the phone starts ringing again. His hand freezes in the position.

No! No! Don't even dare to look at it. Smash it!

He lifts his head and looks at his phone, it was the same unknown number again.

I told you not to look. Now go to hell!!!

He immediately presses the answer button.

"Hello! Thank God you are alive. I thought, you were really enjoying dinner with Mr. Yamraj.", She giggles.

Wow!! Her voice is so magical but that giggle is even more captivating.

"Hello.. Are you there? Helloooo", she says sweetly.

"Huh? Hmmm.. Yes, I am.. still alive", he speaks recollecting himself from the trance.

"Good! I thought, I was probably speaking to your ghost. By the way, were you actually trying to commit suicide or just said it in irritation?", She inquired.

"I genuinely tried to commit suicide.", He said.

There was a silence for few seconds.

"But why? What's the hurry?" She asks.

"What? Hurry?", He was surprised at the choice of words. "You mean 'What's the reason?', right?" He tries correcting her.

"No, I meant the same thing what I spoke. What's the hurry?", She again inquires.

"When did I hurry? I postponed my plan just to speak to you.", He admits

"Huh? Means you are going to resume dieing after disconnecting my call?", She asked.

"Yes, I got a new appointment with Mr. Yamraj for midnight tea already.", He declares.

"That's great! Mr. Yamraj is very considerate and flexible in granting you the change in appointment that you proposed.", She says.

"Hmm.. Yeah, I think he is the only God so far who is lenient toward me. Rest all the Gods have rejected my proposals so far.", He sighs.

"Wow! In that case, could you rebook your appointment to a later date?", She asks.

"Huh? Are you trying to stop me from dying?", He asks surprised.

"No! Not at all. I am just asking you to postpone the dates a little further. Hmmm.. may be 14 to 16 days? Lets make it 15 days, final.", She suggests.

"Huh? Why are you so much interested in my suicide date? Are you an astrologer by any chance who looks at an auspicious date to perform an auspicious event in family? Then I ain't interested. I mean who looks at auspicious day to die?", He expresses his disinterest.
