'Ayra was grooming for her exams till 2.00 a.m yesterday. She is exhausted now, and, offering herself with a peaceful sleep', enunciated her mom to her dad, who was walking to and fro with no specific reason behind. With no reply along, her dad was walking and observing the tiles below as a researcher on mission.

Ayra drew no salts from being born in a middle class family and having parents passed with the greatest degree of twelfth standard.

Getting off from her sleep, she was consciously lying on her bed flat and drained, with her eyes yet closed. In a few seconds, she could hear her father reporting. 'We have booked for the gas cylinder. Let me call the supplier to confirm his arrival now'.

The gas cylinder to her house was booked through online or offline mode and calling the supplier for the confirmation of the delivery date. Ayra was conscious and perfectly hearing to the voices reaching her. And, with a yes from her mom, her dad called the supplier.

Few callertunes are mischievously created. And the supplier too had one, as the following, 'Hello uncle. My dad is sleeping. Why don't you talk to me? ' and it continues on.

Innocent and unknowing, such callertunes prevail, Ayra's dad clicked to the contacts and pressed the green coloured icon- the call button, encountering the following sequences.

Ayra's dad : Hello
Callertune : Hello uncle
Ayra's dad : Where is your dad?
Callertune: My dad is sleeping.
Ayra's dad : Okay.
And, in a split second, he cut his call.

He again started walking with no goals and his hands folded back and waited for the minutes to run.

15 minutes later, he took his phone and pressed some button.
Ayra's dad : Hello
Callertune : Hello uncle
Ayra's dad : Where is your dad?
Callertune: My dad is sleeping.
Ayra's dad : Okay.
With mild irritation, he put off his phone and walked again.

Ayra could hear her dad complaining about the supplier sleeping after 10 a.m and she didn't care much and laid at the same position at ease.

After few minutes, her dad called again and ended with the same response. Getting irritated her dad put off his phone and his voice furious.

Frustrated and agitated, he complained to her mom about the supplier providing his phone to a little one to respond.

With the greatest agony, her dad called him after 20 minutes.
Ayra's dad : Hello
Callertune : Hello uncle
Ayra's dad : Dad?
Callertune: My dad is sleeping.
Ayra's dad : Will your dad be sleeping throughout the day.
Callertune : Why don't you speak to me?
Ayra's dad: Shut your mouth and keep the phone down.

Aggravated her dad threw his phone to the shelf and walked towards her mom. He walked in a speedy movement and complained to her mom about the child's weirdness and falseness. Her mom heard him patiently.

Ayra consciously understanding the happenings without her eyes open, could hear her father's mobile ringing after few minutes.

'It's that supplier', told her dad before attending the phone. He at once, turned the speaker mode on, and replied, 'Hello'

'Sir, what made you give me missed calls for so many times? What's the problem?'

Her dad couldn't understand that situation but Ayra did and burst out laughing aloud.
