(Tom's PoV)
No, no, no! I could distinguish the difference of rejecting the call and disconnecting by itself.
What had just happened was not because the call was too long to answer, but because it was rejected!
No!
Anxiously I tried to call the number again, but after three rings, it was rejected again!
I tapped open the message box and typed a short message for Uncle Ben.
'Uncle, it's me. Please, pick up the phone.' Then, I pressed 'Send'.
After sending the message, I waited for several seconds before I resumed calling him. But, my call was rejected again. I was starting to think that my uncle had changed his phone number and my call went to another person. My hope was crushed just like that, but a message came.
'Who are you?'
I widened my eyes. Didn't I already say that it's me? How could he ask me again?
I read my previous message three to four times until I finally realized the mistake I made.
