Unknown message

A message beeped on his phone. He checked in immediately. He expected his girlfriend to miss him just once.

"Are you free?" The message read.

That wasn't his girl. The message was from someone unknown. The number wasn't saved in his contact. He neglected and put away his phone.

He waited patiently for his girlfriends message again. He was waiting. But a while later, the same number messaged him again.

"Are you free my dear?" The message read the same as earlier.

"Damn! People are irritating," he exclaimed. He put down his mobile and paid no heed.

Another time, there was a beep. The same message, the same number. He was frustrated. The same number messaged him more than hundred times. That killed him in his thought. He wasn't getting the message from who he expected.

"What the hell?" He roared, "You rot in hell," he replied to the number.

Finally, a message beeped. His girl friend did it now. He was so happy.

It read,"Make your time immediate to the hospital."

It shocked him loud. He ran to the hospital. And there he saw his mother bed ridden. A smile worn on her face, she glimmered for the last time. After few seconds of his arrival, his mother waved them goodbye.

The boy went near her. On her hand, she held a mobile. He took out from her hand and had a glimpse. Surprised! An incomplete message read, "Are you free dear? I am sure you have my number. I missed you a lot. I wanted to see you before I breath my last..."

Immediately he checked the number that he received messages from and to his dismay, it was from her mother.

Broken and shattered, he was drained in the emotional moment. He cried throughout.The time he waited for his girlfriend, he could have called the number and asked about. He regretted! And it ended everything.
