.... running deftly  hrs fingers on the keyboard suddenly slowed down,  hrs attention was drawn towards the ringing phone,  checking on the number  a shadow of worry descended on hrs face,  hrs hands lifted themselves off the keyboard,  all her thoughts and feelings that kept his mind in stress  began hammering his mind,  feeling awfully helpless he shut his eyes,  he didn't want to pick up the call so he didn't,  after  several more rounds of ringing the phone stopped , a few minutes later it again started ringing,  this time he decided to answer it , he was certain  the bell will  ring incessantly until he picked up the call
Thousands of times I have told you not to call me up 
But  yet I do ring you up  just imagine how  helpless I must be 
Her voice  carried so much  weight but now it gad no affect on him 
She pleaded  not to shut off 
I have no reason to speak with you,  excuse me he dropped the call,  breathing   heavily he  plugged the phone to the socket 
Hello brother what's up,  any tension haryana slightly opposed the door to take in a peek and enquire,  he was certain  brother was busy working on his computer  he dared not disturb him , but seeing him sitting  idle he had ventured in,  what was the reason to be so silent,  if you could  explain what's going on 
There is nothing in my life except thinking  about matters that are not relevant at all , saying that he stood up smiling  , he looked at the watch 
Are you going somewhere 
Yes,  I must go  somewhere  that doesn't invite me but my feet take me there,  the silence  attracts me 
Why do you speak in such a  suspense  manner  I don't understand  clearly 
That is fine,  why should you need to understand  my matters,  giving a heavy pat on his shoulder  he smiling brushed past him  to exit his room leaving hary  scratching his head and shaking it as always
