Deal With The Ordeal

Ron Kapadia was squirming in his bed like a worm. It was 3 am in the morning and he still coudn't find himself some sleep. Finally he gave to the fact that sleep was a distant possibilty and got up from his bed.
He rubbed his eyes, switched on the light and reached for a drawer from where emerged a packet of Gold Flake and a lighter. Click went the lighter and Ron Kapadia commenced with his smoking and wondering.
"The last few months has been one roller coaster of a ride" said Ron in soliloquy. He wondered about his menacing disease, his broken heart, his weird friends and his even weirder affinity towards them. He also thought how quickly time was passing by. He felt he was lagging behind once again.
As he took the last few drags of his cigarette his mind was clouded with negativity. He took out his cell from his pokcet to check the time and saw that there was a missed call notification from an unknown number.
He decided to call the number even at the early hours of the morning and to his astonishment someone picked it up. "Hello" said Ron there was no reply. "Helllooo???" Ron asked enquiringly yet there was no answer. Ron could just hear somebody was breathing heavily on the other end.
He did not hear any voice and yet he felt strangely acquainted with this midnight prankster.
For the next 5 minutes no one said anything untill the silence was broken when Ron screamed out "AAAAhhhhhh". Ron had forgotten about the cigarette he was smoking but the cigaratte didn't forget to burn his index finger. The person on the phone accidentaly let out an exclamation of concern and Ron identified it was a female voice, just as Ron was about to say something the person disconnected.
Ron threw out the cigarette and tried calling once more but this time no one answered. Ron's heart started beating rapidly and he felt he was close to a heart attack.
He felt excited-Cause of someone he thought it was.
He felt scared- Cause he feared it might not be that someone
He felt confused- Cause if it were that someone what was the point in keeping quiet.

Ron's thinktank started swinging to and fro, and in a flash of a moment he started smoking one more cigarette.
He threw himself to his bed and tried calling once again and was greeted with a robotic woman saying " Jis nambar pe apne call kiya woh abhi bandh hai,kripya kuch der badh koshish kijiye".
"Fuck man" Ron said in utter frustration and went back to the guessing game. ?Could it be the guys playing a prank on me? Could it be my mom checking if I went to sleep? Or could it be....."
The last thought shook his body.
This time he was careful about extinguishing the cigarette butt and he tried closing his eyes. Soon Ron was snoring his way to glory.
When he woke up he saw it was 9 in the morning and he immediately reached out for his mobile which gave a notification "1 new message". It was from the same mystery caller...........................to be continued
