Rahul Dora and.....mystery-a strange connection[My entry for the Get Published contest]

.......grrrzzzzz clank!clank!....alas after 15seconds Rahul was able to tune into 'My fm' the heart throb of the country.Mell the timely host had taken up most slots and Rahul was so familiar with her voice that he often thought his mother's was sounded distant.Today's topic R would weekly tune into for some expectation always blossomed in his broad chest.Heavy hearted he went back to bed every midnight yet again today was special.As for R he had decided every now and then he wouldn't tune in, he'd give up!But the next day he was there listening all along.At the rare mention of D his heart beat would race up but the following letters never followed.R checked his 'Ferro' watch it's pink marked 16th Dec......It was his birthday.......she must be trying hard to contact, after all he was the culprit .....went his mind.
 "Dora!!!!!Yes Dora?......what do we have here?A message for someone or.....",said M
R's heart beat thrashing against an inch to failing.......it was like a hammer beating.......it was very fast........his eyes all watery and a wide smile after years then a second voice said
"oh!ummhhhhh i have my boyfriend he's not miles away but i'd just like to give him a message....would u?"
Tears rolled down,the smile missed R's face and the squeaky clumsy voice forced him to close his ears with his hands.

 Some words went unheard
 "Ofcourse.....your message will soon be given,whether neighbour or overseas the msg is always passed......now M.....always M........"blah blah........
"M's on the last minutes and this is our last lucky caller".....R was listening hard again
"Jamia it is from Ergsbridge........what do u do Jamia in India......heard it is a lovely place?"
"I am only here today ..... i had to delay my flight because today is the day i wait for every year......this year too i thought before i left, let me try 1 last time.....i know it's local cast but i don't know how else to try....." ,the vibrant weighty voice suddenly went a little flat......
R usually hated the callers they were far from stupid but this one her story was so similar and if it wasn't R's imagination then the voice was so much like Dora D.Oh!he realized he had never known her second name,she didn't like it she said.......but now this was Jamia....more an Indian name.He wondered if she was trying to communicate to an NRI.
The flat voice had given into the few rugged last lines "I just want to say that the memories i have i am thankful for that and it was more than......."
"Oh!time's over and we lost our last caller halfway.......i was getting enthusiastic too.....but seems like trouble is her second home......best of luck girl and everyone tomorrow remember this very time M's meeting on Myfm!...."
R banged the switch board so hard the radio almost toppled off!........
............to be contd.
