Charging it out of curiosity, he finds himself drowning in a wave of nostalgia—**old photos, familiar names, and memories long forgotten.** But just as he begins reminiscing, a **mysterious phone call** interrupts the quiet night. At first, it seems like nothing—just an unknown number, no reply. But as the calls persist, a chilling realization creeps in. **Someone, or something, is trying to reach him.** What secrets lie hidden in the past? And why, after all these years, is it suddenly coming back to haunt him? The night is long, the phone keeps ringing, and the past refuses to stay buried.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 : Beginning

After working my ass off for many years, I finally took a sabbatical leave, and decided to "Touch grass".

*Yawning.... " Gooooood mo-meowwww meow ? " I rubbed my eyes and looked around, the room was a full mess that I didn't even remember when I cleaned it last time.

I stood up and patted my cat ". ", who was pitch black with greenish eyes

" Let's purify this barren land, my lesser king of meow world ".

It was already 12 pm and I had yet to clean my store room, after taking a short drink break i went to the store room.

" Is this spider man homecoming ? " I entered the store room with the web on my face.

*Sigh... started clearing spider webs.

After a while, i saw a box that looked 6-7 years old. I found my old smartphone.

The battery was dead, so i took it and finished the remaining cleaning.

I was again feeling sleepy until someone started knocking on my door, so I opened the door....

" who is this " i asked...

A fatass man in his boxers picking his nose with a fat belly which his shirt's button tried so hard to hold.. replied--

" yo "

i answered ( awkwardly with an uneasy look ) "

" Yes... Mr. Landlord ".

" Rent is going to be twofold from this month " he said while rubbing is belly.

I startled and asked " why- so suddenly"

He giggled " yea- so suddenly".

I knew the landlord was an asshole but i didn't expect him to double the rent,

He left and i closed the door

I sat down on bed as i exhaled " what a life " .

After resting for an hour and two , i woke up in the evening

My eyes looked at the phone on the table i found from the store room it was now charged so i opened it.....

All the old pics and old contacts felt so nostalgic, i started looking at the gallery...and suddenly froze for a moment, i couldn't not take off my eyes from the phone screen

I breathed out softly and the word that came out from my lips was " so beautiful "

( mesmerizing the memories ) and a sudden smile came out.

" Meowwww " my lesser being whining sound. I put down the phone , i yawned and took out her meal

" Here is your refreshment after your war with the neighbour's cat " i was smiling and caressing her....

It's already dinner time , i was so tired from cleaning so i ordered food online.....

" 40 minutes.... Ahh-i am so hungry" i groaned

It was already 8 pm

*phone ringing...

I picked, " who is this "

No one replied....

I hung up cause the number was unknown..

After 20 minutes...

The phone rang again...

I picked.

" Sir, your order has arrived "

I went downstairs and paid him for the food and a hundred rupees tip

I came back and ate my favourite cheese pizza.....

" Yummy... After such a long time , finally "

After that i went to bed early as i was tired...

*Phone ringing.....at 3am....
