PHILMA

The call

I didn't plan to wake up early but due to the continuous ringing of my phone, I had to. At first, I didn't want to pick it up when I saw who it was but I gave in because it's been years since I heard this person's voice.

Unknown caller : Hello... can you hear me. Phil..ma... are... you.. there.

I heard the person on the other side but you can hear from her voice that she has been crying before calling.

Me :Yes. Mom is everything ok

I asked my mom Priya.

Mom : know baby it's your dad he....

Me: Mom, what has dad done

Mom : He is.... he is... he is no more.

Me : what do you mean he is no more.

Mom: He passed away yesterday night. Baby can you come back.

Me: Mom don't worry I will be there soon.

Mom:ok baby, safe journey.

Me :see you.

I cut the call, jumped from the bed and started packing for my journey. I didn't know that I was crying until I felt the tears gliding down from my eyes.

*how can he leaves me without saying anything to me, he promised to be there for me always so what happened*I asked myself.
