It was almost midnight..... Silence prevailed........ and
The sound seemed to be coming from some distant place that made me go towards it. I was confident am still sleeping, but suddenly someone said something and I opened my eyes. I was actually awake and holding my cell. The display was blinking and it was KD calling. The sound of the ringtone was getting louder. It was pitch dark with the cell backlight lighting up the room and the ringtone sounding like a thousand trumpets blowing. I said hello and the only thing I remember saying was "Am sleeping.. let me sleep... ". She was trying to sound chirpy and energetic as usual... and then it struck.. its my Birthday day call. Sweet that she is, she realised I was in deep sleep, she made no stone unturned to try and wake me up - to the extent of getting angry and shouting at me.. I said bye and went to sleep.
In few minutes it felt like am dreaming again...sound buzzing.. room being lit.. not knowing where I am.. the phone was ringing. I felt its KD again. Hurriedly, since it was ringing loudly, I got up and picked up the call.. but it sounded different. Almost unconsciously I realized its Rabia. That seemed strange cause she hardly calls.. and never on birthdays. So this time I opened my eyes to see if the call is really ON and it was. I could only hear her laughing and saying something like.. "Mission Accomplished". I had to tell her.."Please !!!! Say what you have called for and let me sleep." After few minutes of laughing she hung up... w/o saying "Happy Birthday".
I was asleep again.. and then was another sound .. thankfully it stopped.. and i snoozed till dawn. Woke up and it was Fasi's SMS. I knew Rabs must have told her about her mega accomplishments of the night.
I am usually awake on Birthday nights and never miss the excitement.. but this time I was really in bad shape... damn tired.. just crashed.
Anyways, its not that I wanted to make a great day out of it or anything.. the long story of the night was not for your entertainment or display my talent in writing.. but it was only cause I really don't remember what else I said. So KD - Rabs, if you feel like commenting and if only its a good comment.. please mention it... :D
