And there i sat in despair on the bench. I was looking at the sea and the cold breeze was blowing, offering it’s softness to me. I was tired. Today was a hectic day. Being in the sales job was alays tiring but today was particularly bad day for me. The cell phone kept on ringing the whole day and answering to each and every one of my clients …..I could not take it any more. I wanted to quit the job
Relax…..and go somewhere, my mind said!!! And the damned phone started ringing. I didn’t pick it up. It was intentional. It was late evening and the Sun had already set. Theredness in the sky remained as proof of the sun shine which was prominent only some time ago. Besides me on the bench sat another boy. He was young and energetic it seemed. Why couldn’t I be like that?? I had become old before my age. The Job had taken the toll on me. The cell phone on the bench had again started ringing. I was angry and frustrated…I piked it up and threw it in the sea in one action. It was instinctive. And the action some how felt nice. The phone started to ring again….!!!! But how??? I just threw it in the sea. This couldn’t be happening!!!!
Was god making fun of me??? What was going on?? The phone was on vibrator and it was vibrating in the pocket of my pants. I quickly grabbed it and held it before my eyes and saw it was my phone!!!
What the????? If this was my phone then whose phone did I just throw in the sea!!!
Just about then the boy who was sitting besides me asked loudly to his partner who was sitting nearby…., “Hey did you see my phone which was lying on the bench??”
I froze in horror…!!! It was the boy’s phone which I threw by mistake. Oh God….Today is a bad day, I said to myself!!!!!
