Nothing bad – I hope

Finally decided to put an end to the ‘ego-trip’ we were on.
Put down my pride, picked up the phone and called him.

*1st beep*
No answer. Engaged in a meeting, perhaps?

An hour or so later
*2nd beep*
No answer still. Extended discussion, maybe?

Yet another hour or so later
*3rd beep*
The phone rang till it got cut off.

Wild thoughts ran thru my mind.
Could something bad have happened?
Friends told me it’s been pretty chaotic in the Middle East lately.

It’s been over 7 hrs since my last attempt to call.
Still no news from him.

Nothing bad – I hope.
