One night. One call. One dead.
Lilly gets a call from Delcan telling her to save him. The only problem is Delcan has been dead for two weeks now.

It was 12 o'clock now. My mobile rang again. The blue light making me wonder was he calling again. I answered the call with trembling hands and without seeing the caller id.
I heard ragged breath on the other end.
"He-hello?"
Then a sharp intake of breath with a cry of pain.
My hands shook beyond control and I was almost about to lose the mobile when -
"Lilly." Delcan whispered.
"Delcan. Oh! Delcan." I cried.
"I love you." His voice was pained and broken.
He was crying.
He had never said those words to me, even though we were officially a couple for five months , he never said those words.
And without second thoughts, I said, "I love you too, baby."
And the line went dead.
Was it real?
"No! No! You can't go like that." I rambled unlocking the mobile screen.
I had received his call from an unknown number. Both the times.
I called back but the mobile was switched off.
"No. No."
I tried again.
Again and again.
"NO! DELC-"
A hand covered my mouth.
