Info

Tring Tring... Tring Tring... Tring Tring...

Man sitting beside him shakes him and yell "pick up your phone fast, it's waking up everyone sleeping."

He takes his hand to right pocket but couldn't feel anything except a power bank. In deep sleep, he again checks shirt pocket but nothing there. Phone silent now. It's around 2'o clock, Pin drop silence all around. One can hear whistling sound of river flowing, along with the breeze as bus heading towards Nainital. He's again lost in sleep without even checking the phone.

Tring Tring... Tring Tring... Tring Tring...
The old man again yells "#*#&*#*&# pick up your phone else I'll throw you out of the bus. "
With uncleared memories of things in the pocket, this time he followed charging cable and find his phone in his bag. He just picked up the phone without checking number. It was his sleep and old man shouting to let him do this.

"Hello, is this Mohit???" I deep voice, seems like bit tensed made him restless.
"Yea, but who's this???" he replied after getting back into senses.
" You're reaching the destination at 4'o clock?"
"Yes, but who're you???"
Phone hanged up.

With a storm in mind, he called back that number.
"The number you're dialling is currently switched off"
He searches his best buddy Truecaller to have a clue, but nothing there.

It's been near about 8 years,  he left his hometown Nainital. Unable to call up the voice he starts scrolling his mind feed, whom he had shared his schedule. Only one trusted person from his contact list know about his visit. Didn't even shared with parents living in Nainital.
"Is it worthy to call Aman?? Did he shared with Ananya(his ex-girlfriend)?? Was she her landlord who've not been paid for 7 months??"
The whole scenario scrolling through his mind.
"Pack up your bags and get close to door who's deboarding at Nainital, we're stopping here for 5 minutes" conductor announced.
Mohit gets into scenes and checks if anything left outside. With one bag on back a trolley bag, he just dropped off. There's dark and silence in a shaded area, all lights are focused on people dropping off from the bus. Mohit headed towards his destination by passing the darkness.

As he stepped into the dark, something hugged him tightly. He's stuck as it's been a long time he felt any girl wrapped around him.He clearly feels crying sound and dripping nose. As soon as he realised what's going on here, something was telling him from inside that fragrance is familiar to him, but unable to call who's she.
He brings out his lighter to see her face.
"You start smoking?" The lady said when he failed the attempt to light up.
Without wasting time he just lighted and stunned after seeing her face. While About to get unconscious he heard "I'm sorry". And both start crying.........
