Call achanak cut ho gaya.
Room me phir sannata chha gaya.
Sirf uski saansein tez chal rahi thi.
Sohan ne call duration dekha — 00:07 seconds.
Saat second.
Uske dimaag me turant ek baat aayi.
Kal hi usne apni story me likha tha—
"Call sirf 7 second ke liye aata hai."
Uske haath thande pad gaye.
"Ye coincidence hai… bas coincidence…"
Usne khud ko samjhaya.
Tabhi phone phir vibrate hua.
3:07 AM.
Same number.
Is baar bina soche usne call receive kiya.
"Tum ab bhi samajh nahi rahe, Sohan…"
"Kaun ho tum?!"
Halki si hansi sunai di—
"Main wahi hoon… jise tumne kal apni story me maara tha."
