THE MIDNIGHT CALL : I grew up in govt colony of Sarojini Nagar. Born there and stayed there till I was 20 . When I was 10-12 year old , Mr and Mrs Arora moved in as our neighbors . They were almost 50 at that time and since they had no kids , they showered me & my brother wt

lot of affection. 8-10 later Sheetal Arora aunty passed away in an road accident & uncle was left all alone . He was also suffering from final stage cancer so it was extremely difficult for him . The colony adopted uncle- all his meals, cleaning etc was taken care

the people of colony. I was responsible for taking him to hospital . Unfortunately it had become continuous in & out of hospital & in pain Since he would call at anytime , I had kept the landline next to my bed.
One night the landline rang and knowing only uncle called this hour

and in emergency , I immediately picked up the phone
" Arora Uncle ?, App theek ho , Hospital le kar chalo"- I instinctively blurted out . The voice on other end replied -
" This is Neha , I am taking him tonight "
It took me minute to realize that it was not Arora Uncle and

what I had heard . I still had phone in my hand so I definitely received the call . But nobody else in the house had heard the phone ringing but that could be cause they were all fast asleep.
I immediately looked out at Uncles house and it was all quiet , no lights on etc .

I called him few times, no response. I went over and conformed the worst. He had passed away at night .

Next day we started going though his papers etc to find details of any relatives that we needed to inform.

We came across photographs of Uncle and Aunty with an infant kid & hospital reports. They had a baby girl who died in infancy . Her name was Neha.
