Forever..

*tring tring* her phone rang. It was the number she once knew with all her heart, wasn't sure if she should pick it now, yet she did. "Hello?" she said.
 "Hello" said he. "Who’s this?" she pretended. He knew that she knew who it was. A tear rolled down his cheek, a tear rolled down hers. Utter silence, both knew nothing was left to say now. “Are you there?” she confirmed in the dead silence. “Yes” he replied. Another tear. What could they say now? Everything between them was broken down to pieces and the pieces were burned down to ash. She couldn’t bare it any longer. She didn’t want to hurt herself. ‘You had always been selfish she remembered him say as he left her alone. At an instant she cut the call. A second later the same number appeared again on her screen with her favorite song filling the silence of the empty room.

 “Yes?” she said picking up the phone the second time. “Why did you cut the call?” he inquired. She had no answer to it. “Why did you call?” she asked him. “To wish you happy birthday that’s all” he replied. In her depression she even forgot her birthday! “Happy 51^st birthday mom!” he said and then the phone called ended.
Her only child whom she loved the most was now a stranger for her .
