  Till now story is: Chinnu makes wrong call in rush to arrange blood for her father who met with an accident .This call  reaches a person who is depressed and dejected in life,  intoxicated state he disconnects the call as ‘Wrong Number’ after  introducing himself as Mr Akela sarcastically. Finally Chinnu and her family are saved from this situation by thoughtfulness of her classmate Rishab who donates blood to her father. Meanwhile Chinnu learns that even this ‘Wrong Number’ fellow had come to donate. She calls him back to thank and learns his name as Mayank. His puzzled answers ignite curiosity in her to know more about this guy. Now next...........

Chinnu ends her talk with Mona and closes her eyes to get some sleep. After having food they all start towards St Mary’s Medical Hospital, where Chinnu is doing her MBBS. They get Mr Rao admitted and he is sent for some more investigations to be done.

Chinnu: “Mamma, I will be at Mona’s house, if you need anything call me.”

Mrs Rao: “But Chinnu in hurry I forgot to carry my mobile. Why don’t you give me yours?”

Chinnu: “I would have given, but this is Smartphone, touch screen and I am pretty sure you don’t know a bit about its usage. So, no point in leaving it here with you.”

Mrs Rao: “Okay, you just show me how to receive and make calls, and you can call me on your cell through Mona’s cell.”

Chinnu: “That sounds great to me. Okay mamma, take care will call you soon.”

Chinnu leaves the hospital after showing her mom about receiving and making calls.

As soon as Chinnu goes, nurse arrives to the ward room and says they need to do some short procedure on Mr Rao for which the relatives have to fill the consent form and deposit some money in advance.

Mrs Rao stands dumb and clueless. She doesn’t want to disturb her daughter but at the same time she doesn’t know how to do these formalities concerned stuff. After some time she takes Chinnu’s cell phone and calls the last called person in her dialled list. The call starts ringing.

On the other side:

Mayank is still in a little bit of hangover and he goes to sleep after popping in some medicines. Suddenly the cell starts ringing. Since he hasn’t stored Chinnu’s number in his contact list he doesn’t know who is calling. He just disconnects and gets back to his sleep. After 3-4 times of repeated calls he is irked and 5th time he picks without even looking at the cell to blast at them.

Mayank (Wrong Number Guy): “Who the hell is this? Don’t you understand once I disconnect the call?  Am not interested in taking your call. Is this so difficult to understand?

Speaker from other side says: “Mayank!!! Is this the way you speak to your mom? And I didn’t call you many times. This is my first call to you. And whoever is calling you must be in real need after all they are trying to reach you in spite of you disconnecting them every time.”

Mayank: “Sorry Mrs Vyas (Mayank addresses his mom by her surname, ever since she divorced his father and remarried some Vyas). I ....I... didn’t know it was you.”

Mrs Vysa (Mayank’s mom):  “I just called to say that I need your signatures on the bank application forms, so please out of your busy time (sarcastically) spare some and come to my house to sign those papers.”

Mayank: “Of course Mrs Vyas, but I will not come to your house. You can however come here and get it signed.”

Mrs Vyas: “Fair!! Its 3pm now, will be at your home at  dot 5pm.”
