I was sleeping. The sudden ringing of the phone - yes the phone, in bed with me, beside my ear - startled me from the wonders of oblivion

Shubies: Hello. Who is that?

Me: Sumaiya.

Shubies: Oh, is father home?

Me: Yes

Shubies: Ok, pass the phone to him.

Me: *mmdsfsfdrm.. Ok..

(*incoherent mumblings)

~silence~

Shubies: ............

Shubies waited. And waited. And waited. But father never came to the phone..
