In the silence of his room, he dialled her contact number on the keypad. His fingers traced the digits, reminiscing the echoes of laughter that once danced through the phone.

"Why do you not answer promptly? I've been reaching out through the ages," her voice, tinged with offense, reverberated in his ears.

"I was occupied," he replied, a feeble excuse against the weight of their shared history.

Closing his eyes in anguish, he whispered, "You were right. No network can bind me to you now."

In that moment, he acknowledged that a mere phone call could no longer bridge the chasm between them. Yet, he never deleted her contact; it was the only connection left to the memories of the love that slipped through his grasp."
