The next day, Ivy was chatting with her college buddies about some person who was constantly calling her. Grace got worried as she once had a similar call where the person demanded her parent's bank account details, or they would kidnap them. On the other hand, Mia thought why not just pick up the phone once and ask why the person was calling? Olivia didn't speak on the other hand and said to ignore the call and let's talk about something else.
Ivy hated Olivia a lot as she never took an interest in what Ivy said. Even though whenever Ivy gave a gift to Olivia, She always complained about the gift and hated it.
After hearing their conversation, Ivy blocked the phone number and left for home. When she arrived, she was helping her mom make a cake. Ivy asked her mom whether she could bring her friends home as she wanted to throw a new home party. Ivy's mom agreed and told her to invite them on the weekend. She called Grace and Mia, and unfortunately Olivia too.
On the day of the party, Ivy was so happy and helped her mom with the decorations and cooking. Then she cleaned her room and decided to put her books on the empty, Wall bookshelf. Whenever she pushed a book onto the bookshelf, a hollow sound was heard. Ivy didn't pay that much attention and waited for her friends to arrive.
After an hour, her friends arrived and Ivy started to give them a house tour. A couple of hours passed and all were enjoying. Then abruptly Ivy's phone started ringing, she overlooked it and continued to play with Grace. This time, the calls were continuous and wouldn't stop. Ivy got quite angry and went into her room and picked up her call.
She said," Hi, May I know who are you? And why do you call me from different numbers"? No one responded to the phone call. Ivy got more frustrated and cut the call and said, "Strange call". At the very same moment, Grace opened the door and said, " What are you even talking to"? Ivy replied, " Nothing, just the call".
Then Ivy and Grace went back to playing their games. After a while everyone went to their home and Ivy started to wonder about the call. When she picked up no one answered and when she didn't pick up then she gets continuous calls. After thinking about the calls, she slept.
At late night, Ivy's phone started ringing while she was in deep sleep. She picked up the call and said in a rude tone, " Who is this?." A old woman replied, " Hello dear". Ivy checked the phone number and this was the same number from which she got multiple calls.
Ivy asked her in a normal tone, "Why do you me everyday? And even multiple times a day?". The old woman replied, " Well, leave that. How are you?". Ivy replied, " Well, I am good. What about you?. The woman then said," you have quite some manners, in this young age. Even though, I called you late night, you are still nice to me. It was nice talking to you. Sleep well. Good night. " the woman cuts the call. While Ivy went back to sleep.
In the morning, Ivy realise that the woman was quite nice and there was no reason for blocking her at all. At the college, ivy told her friends about the woman and they told her to block her right away. They tried to convince her that if the woman was nice that doesn't mean that she can't do something bad with her. Ivy didn't listen to them and didn't consider the woman to be a witch of some kind.
At night time, home, she told her friends that she blocked the old lady and won't talk to her. In reality, she didn't. The woman called her again, ivy picked up and talked to her. The both talked for an hour or so and ended the call peacefully.
Ivy taught that the old woman could be a lady living alone and have no friends to talk too. And that the reason, she is calling her.
