Stand By Me Part 33

I picked up the call. There was an eerie silence.

I started walking towards my room. The call got disconnected.

"Why do people call if they have nothing to say?”, I wondered.

Just then the phone buzzed again.

It was the same number, Oh no, not again….

Again there was no one speaking.

I was about to hang up when a male voice suddenly came alive,

“Hey Tara, don’t hang up!”, is what I could hear.

It was someone whose voice I didn’t recognize.

Before I could say anything, the voice stated that he had something important to share and this was about Rithvik.

What was happening?

Who was this mysterious guy who knew about me and Rithvik?

“I understand you will be tempted to think of this as a crank call and hang up but it's very important”, the voice said.

“Who are you?”, I asked.

“I can’t tell you anything right now, just come and meet me at Centrium Mall tomorrow at 10 am, you will get to know everything”, the voice said.

Before I could say anything, the call got disconnected.

I tried calling back but the phone was switched off.
