A Shock Phone Call

A young woman, about twenty-two years old, looked taken aback when she saw a familiar name appear on the screen. She just stared at the name of a completely familiar person, but there was no desire to answer at all. A strange feeling arose in the heart regarding the events that were being experienced.

"What is it? Why did this person call? Has something happened?” Patricia muttered, quietly.

A girl who has a height of one hundred and seventy-two centimeters tall looks doubtful. However, curiosity about the news that might be conveyed overcame the feeling of doubt. Abigail's Laurentia Verz personal assistant also ventured, so that the index finger of her left hand pressed the green phone icon so that a phone call made by someone on the other end is finally connected.

Patricia Eleanor Barthz: “Hello.”

Someone: “Hello, Patrice. How are you?"

For the sake of the ever-revolving universe... I am nervous. Calm yourself, Patrice. Do not let anyone know, including this person, if you have a deeper feeling inside, muttered the owner of a pair of light brown eyes in her heart.

Patricia Eleanor Barthz: “I am fine. How are you?”

Honestly, I dislike making small talk with other people, except for work matters. But, if I do not act like this, this situation will pass quickly. Do not let that happen. At least for this moment, the black-haired woman thought.

Someone: “Me? I am not good, Patrice."

Not long after, she heard a voice from someone on the other side breathing heavily. Meanwhile, the other person is just waiting, even though there are a million questions regarding the answer from the caller, so she moved in and wants to ask further about this issue.

Patricia Eleanor Barthz: “Why can you say that you are not doing well? What has happened? Are you okay?”

Luckily, Miss Abby was not in the office, so she was free to take calls. I am so lucky because apart from the boss who is out of nowhere, no one from other departments has contacted me yet. Hopefully, this situation does not pass quickly, because I am very curious about the story of the person who is calling on a personal cell phone, Patricia hoped in her heart.

Someone: “I do not know how to say that, Patrice. The situation made it complicated."

Patricia Eleanor Barthz: “It is okay, just tell me. I am all ears."

The opposite sex, who was on the other side, exhaled again. Do I have to tell the truth by myself? If I tell a lie, I will be the one in trouble. But, to tell her about the embarrassing incident, I feel ashamed, the man thought.

Someone: “Before I say anything about it, I want to ask you something.”

A pair of eyebrows belonging to the opposite sex who works as a personal assistant looks up, a sign of confusion. The atmosphere was silent for a moment because the other person on the other side seemed to be waiting for a response or answer from the young woman with long black hair.

Patricia Eleanor Barthz: “What do you want to ask?”

Someone: "Is 'she' there now?"

When she heard the question from the other person, Patricia's expression immediately turned sad. The young woman seemed to have understood who the person she was talking to was. There was silence again, as if the call had ended, but in reality, it was not.

After a long time, I thought everything had changed, but it is still the same. Yeah, I know that it is true that I cannot force a special feeling on anyone, even though I have done various ways. Why does not the man realize that I am the best? What should I do to make him think of me? Thought the owner of a pair of light brown eyes.

Patricia Eleanor Barthz: “No. She is out of the office and probably will not come back here or go somewhere else. At least, that was what I know."

Someone: “Ah, I knew it would happen.”

Patricia Eleanor Barthz: “What did you mean?”

There was the sound of someone exhaling from the other side of the phone, which the opposite sex listened to. Patricia stared at the door as if to reassure herself that no one was listening to the conversation because she was afraid that other people would find out.

Someone: "I called 'her', Patrice."

When she heard the answer from the other person, a pair of brown eyes looked bulging, as if they were seeing a ghost, even though it was safe in her workroom, and strange events from astral beings had never occurred.

Patricia Eleanor Barthz: “WHAT?! How come?”

Someone: “Yes. I deliberately contacted 'her' to ask how she was, and at the same time, I wanted to apologize. Because this heart can't stand the guilt that keeps haunting me."

The Pisces woman massages her head with her left hand. Patricia's expression looks stressed, especially when she hears the words of the other person.

Now, I do not know what else to say. Why is the man so stupid that he can expose himself to death? This cannot be allowed, because it can threaten the career I have! The girl's determination was firm.

Patricia Eleanor Barthz: “How did 'she' respond when you called? Is everything okay or the other way around?”

Someone: "It was not good, because of the tone of voice used by 'she', sounded furious to me, then immediately ended the call."

Patricia Eleanor Barthz: “Gosh! You put me in great danger! Do not you know that it is all a bad thing? You are crazy!”

Someone: “But I can't keep running away from reality, Patrice. Is it wrong to greet people who were once close and even created a special relationship?”

The man on the other side was silent after hearing all the words of the other person. The atmosphere became silent because the conversation that was created had ended. Awkwardness began to be felt between the two people, because of the lost communication. Without many words, the person who started the call first immediately pressed the red phone icon, making the girl who has a height of one hundred and seventy-two-centimeter tall surprised because she did not expect this to happen.

“You damn bastard! It is good that I want to answer the phone call, even now I decided on my own, without saying goodbye anyway! It is useless to have a handsome face, but a poor attitude! No wonder, if 'she' cut ties unilaterally, and does not want to see you again!” Patricia cursed quietly.
