Private Number Calling - Part 1

Hey all,

For those of you who read my last post today, you would remember reading about my short film story "private number calling". If u wanted to read it , its gonna follow in three days part by part, so follow up tomorrow for the next part of the story. So here goes.



Private Number Calling...”
I woke up halfheartedly at 820 am after hitting the snooze button on my alarm clock a few times that morning delaying my day by 5 minutes each time. At last it’s my roommate’s loud music that did the trick. I woke up, brushed my teeth and took bath with the same bored expression on my face, hating my life for being so predictable. Little did I know that in 24 hours my world will turn upside down?
           Started on my routine day to day life with breakfast, some prayers, ironing my clothes and then getting dressed and off to the office on my bike. But today the journey was different. About half way to the office, I heard a phone ringtone from the front pouch of my Honda bike where I keep my bike registration papers. It was not my phone’s ringtone, hell  it was not even my phone. I was curious who would've stashed their phone in my bike and who is the person calling now. So I picked up hesitantly after a couple of rings and the person on the other end of the line spoke in a harsh voice
          
He said “I have done exactly like you planned, I have stolen the money. Your half share for the plan is kept in a plastic bag near the mile marker 35 on the highway to the city as we agreed, don’t bring attention to yourself and don’t get me in trouble. Goodbye”.
         
Still a bit puzzled about the whole change of events, I set off to the said mile marker where to my surprise I found the bag with lot of money in it. I felt like finally luck has favored my life this once . I hastily took the package inside the plastic bag and hid it under my shirt.

“What do I do with this money and what if somebody finds out that I have it? “ These questions scared me a little. So I had to do something quick so I went to my bank and deposited the money in my account to take the heat off my hands.




Have I had the luckiest day of my life or was it all going to turn my world upside down………….

Bye,
With Love,Chikku.
