Good Deed

"Hello?"
"Can I talk to Puneeta please?", asked a cute voice from the other end of the darned MTNL line.
"Whose this?", I asked, for the heck of it.
"Sakshi"
"She's gone out. Would you like to leave a message?"
"Oh.. she's out?" serious silence. hesitation. "When would she be back?"
"In a little while. She's gone to her friend's place, actually", I lamely retorted.
"Okay..." I think I broke her heart.
"I can give her your message. I can tell her to call you back", I pacified.
"No.. its okay. I'll call after a little time"
"Well, you can leave a message", I pushed.
"Its not that urgent"
"Umm, alright", I gave up.
"Thank You!"
She hung up.

My good deed for the day - I saved the kid from the disappointment of a wrong number. You say its not a big deal, eh? She said thank you, y'know!
