उत्तर
It was Friday, the last working day of the week, followed by two days of vacation. Manoj was exhausted from a series of back-to-back meetings at work. After a long day at the office, he returned home and relaxed on the couch. He left the office three hours later than usual that day, and when he got home, he didn't bother to have dinner. He checked his phone before going to bed. On the screen, certain notifications were flashing. Six calls from an unknown number were also missed. He couldn't stay awake much longer. His eyes were heavy with sleep, and because the following day was a holiday, he decided to respond to the messages only then.
As a result, he made the decision not to return any calls or messages. He awoke at 6 a.m., and after completing his regular ritual, he looked up at his phone to see the unanswered missed calls from his side. He considered contacting that number again right away. When he dialled the number, the phone was answered by someone claiming to be his father's next-door neighbour from another city.
The neighbour informed Manoj that his father had suffered a heart attack the night before and had been admitted to the ICU in an emergency room and that this was the reason he had been trying to contact Manoj.
Thankfully, Manoj's father received care in a timely manner, and his life was saved. Manoj hurriedly grabbed his belongings and headed to the hospital. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his father in such a peaceful state and regretted not returning the missed calls. Manoj made a promise to himself that he would never miss another call in the future, no matter what.
