He dials her number.

The number you are trying to reach is currently busy. Please try again later.

He disconnects and tries again but yet again, it gave the same message.

What is wrong with me? Why am I acting so desperate? Just because I got a random call from some unknown person, I left my suicide mission in between and travelled back into this hell just to charge this idiotic phone. All because of this stupid crappy phone.

No, it's because of you! I warned you not to open your eyes and instead continue to jump but you just ignored me.

I am sorry for not listening to you.

Yeah yeah! Now what are you looking at throw the stupid phone and get going. You can still make it for dinner with Mr. Yamraj if you start now.

Hmm.. okay!

He pulls out the charging from mobile and lifts his hand to smash the phone when the phone starts ringing again. His hand freezes in the position.

No! No! Don't even dare to look at it. Smash it!

He lifts his head and looks at his phone, it was the same unknown number again.

I told you not to look. Now go to hell!!!

He immediately presses the answer button.

"Hello! Thank God you are alive. I thought, you were really enjoying dinner with Mr. Yamraj.", She giggles.

Wow!! Her voice is so magical but that giggle is even more captivating.

"Hello.. Are you there? Helloooo", she says sweetly.

"Huh? Hmmm.. Yes, I am.. still alive", he speaks recollecting himself from the trance.

"Good! I thought, I was probably speaking to your ghost. By the way, were you actually trying to commit suicide or just said it in irritation?", She inquired.

"I genuinely tried to commit suicide.", He said.

There was a silence for few seconds.

"But why? What's the hurry?" She asks.

"What? Hurry?", He was surprised at the choice of words. "You mean 'What's the reason?', right?" He tries correcting her.

"No, I meant the same thing what I spoke. What's the hurry?", She again inquires.

"When did I hurry? I postponed my plan just to speak to you.", He admits

"Huh? Means you are going to resume dieing after disconnecting my call?", She asked.

"Yes, I got a new appointment with Mr. Yamraj for midnight tea already.", He declares.

"That's great! Mr. Yamraj is very considerate and flexible in granting you the change in appointment that you proposed.", She says.

"Hmm.. Yeah, I think he is the only God so far who is lenient toward me. Rest all the Gods have rejected my proposals so far.", He sighs.

"Wow! In that case, could you rebook your appointment to a later date?", She asks.

"Huh? Are you trying to stop me from dying?", He asks surprised.

"No! Not at all. I am just asking you to postpone the dates a little further. Hmmm.. may be 14 to 16 days? Lets make it 15 days, final.", She suggests.

"Huh? Why are you so much interested in my suicide date? Are you an astrologer by any chance who looks at an auspicious date to perform an auspicious event in family? Then I ain't interested. I mean who looks at auspicious day to die?", He expresses his disinterest.

"Hey, you are mistaken. I ain't any astrologer. Infact, I am not in talking terms to any of the Gods, stars or zodiac signs.", She complains.

"Hmmm.. then why are you asking me to postpone?", He grew curious.

"Because, I don't have any boyfriend and I want you to be my boyfriend for 15 days", she says.

"What? Did I hear it correct?", He asks out of surprise.

"Yes, you heard it correct. See anyways you are dieing. Do something good for someone before you die. Imagine you might get an entry into heaven instead of hell.", She says.

"One minute! How can you say for sure that I will go to hell? I might go to heaven as well now.", He questions.

"No chance! You are in contact with Mr. Yamraj, who pushes and punishes you in hell. If you had setting with King of heaven, Mr. Indra, then probably, you might have landed in heaven", she advocates.

"Oh! How did I miss this? But nevertheless, I think Mr. Yamraj's hell will be more comfortable than this world. Now, you tell me why do you want me to be your boyfriend for just 15 days.", He asks.

"Because I can't have boyfriend for more than 15 days.", She speaks innocently.

"Why? Are you getting married on the 16th day? You want to enjoy the remaining spinster life by having a random relationship, is it? Then please hire an escort. I am not available.", He declares.

"Why do you have to put forth your questions, answer them and give verdict without allowing the other person to answer? You are wrong. I am suffering from a serious illness and I have time only until 14 - 16 days.

I never had a boyfriend during my college days since I wanted to concentrate on getting good grades. After the college, I immediately joined the job which I got via campus replacement. I couldn't make boyfriend at office thinking, let me work for a promotion first and until I got my first promotion, my health was demoted.

Now, it's my dream to have a boyfriend but nobody wants to be my boyfriend since I am sick. They are scared of investing their emotions into this relationship and getting heartbroken later.

You seem to be a best candidate for the role of my boyfriend since you are already broken and wanted to die. So it won't make much difference.", She spoke everything and he was shocked listening to her.

I am ready to run away from my life by dying and this girl knowing that she is dying in 15 days wants to live her life. God! How can you be so cruel? Isn't it possible to transfer my remaining years of my life to her so that she can live it fully and happily?

"Helloooo.. are you listening? Will you be my boyfriend?", She asked.

"Huh? Yes! I will.", He immediately agrees.

"Yay!! I've got a boyfriend!! I've got a boyfriend!!" She sings and rejoices.

"How could you be so positive? I am ready to die before living and you are ready to live before dieing", he asks emotionally.

"Hey, because I had killed my desires before actually living them. Now I want to fulfil them before I die. So Mr. Boyfriend, rule number one is no emotional talks. You ain't going to say that you will die or remind me that I am going to die. Agree?" She asks.

"Agreed!! Any other conditions Ms. Girlfriend?", He smiles so that she can feel it in his voice.

"Hey, we didn't even introduced ourselves properly. I am Sana. I am 32 year old. Was a software engineer", she introduced herself.

"Hi Sana, I am Sid. I am 35 year old. Assistant cum best friend to a big industrialist. You can say I was considered as a part of their family until yesterday.", he introduced himself.

"Sid, we shall start of with chatting like how every love story starts? Which slowly progresses into telephonic conversation and then we go on dates. Imagine if the normal process takes, 15 weeks or 15 months then we progress in days. Okay?", Sana sets forth the schedule.

"Puff!!! Why do you want to plan it? Let's go with the flow. We're already having telephonic conversation. Let's date next.", He suggests.

"Huh? Oh hello, I still need to know you little more before we go on a date. What if you do hanky panky with me and leave me pregnant?", Sana speaks boldly.

"Huh? Hanky Panky? What is that? You said you never had a boyfriend, how do you know about it?", He questions.

"Research! You don't need to experience everything to learn about it. You just study or research.", She says.

"Okay!", He smiles.
