(One night, as usual, MP is expecting C’s call. For some reason, they haven’t spoken in a long time as it was due to MP’s fault. MP has been praying hard that some day, he calls and she can apologise to him..Its almost 12.30 AM IST and she is thinking to sleep early when the phone rings suddenly)

MP-Hello!
C-(doesn’t answer)
MP-Hello…
C-(keeps quiet…)
MP-Come on C, I know its you…say something naa…Iam sorry as I realised my mistake..
