sleepless night
It was a really hard night, very sleepless one, although I’ve started my new job on August 1st I still cant get used to sleep early, early means before 3am, I tried my best to sleep ealier last night but there was no positive results.
I decided to turn the DVD player on and I started to watch old seasons of Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes, Dexter and Friends, digging into London Dairy ice cream jar, it has been my only resource to get my intake of calories. It was pretty nice to lay down naked watching all these stuff to feed my head and my heart, I’m Leo so I got bored. I turned the indivdual party off and tried to sleep again and shake the bad thoughts away, that is when I noticed three missed calls from a strange number so I called back for once but nobody answered, soon it rang and I picked up..
Me: Hellow..
Her: Hi, who is this?!
Me: sorry, you’re calling, may I know who is talking?
Her: No, you just called minutes ago, it’s not my number, it’s my husband’s..
Me: Ok, but I dont know your husband, I just called back when I saw three missed calls from this number, that’s it and I apologize..
Her: if you know my husband just tell me, I know about him and I know that he plays with many girls and he drinks, he’s just playing around and you better tell me if you know him to protect yourself.. (I smelled a scent of a trouble)
Me: wait wait, please wait, I honeslty don’t know what you’re talking about, I dont know your husband, I just called back and I guess it was my biggest mistake.
Her: Listen, he’s missing now, cops are trying to find him ok? he’s amarican and he’s been missing since 10 days now and we all are trying to find him, please tell me where is he now, by the way he’s mentally sick so you’ll be in danger ..
Me: what? hey I told you I know nothing about this whole thing, I dont know you, I dont know your husband, I wish i could help you but sorry ..
That was pretty weird, she was telling me about details that I dont give a damn about, she asked me about my name, if I’m bahraini or not or if I’m half bahraini, my age .. I kinda felt it was a dream or something.
The minute I left the phone and started to think about what she said, it range again so I thought she missed a question or some details about her missing husband, but it actually was another strange number..
Me: Hiiiii (yawning), sorry..Hi
Him: Hi? Nader?
Me: no no, it’s ok, I guess you called the wrong number, it’s ok you’re forgiven , bye.
Him: no wait, I..I think it’s Nader’s number right?!
Me: well, does my voice sound like I’m someone called Nader?!
Him: no at all!! but my friend’s number is like yours but it has 9 instead of 6 in the middle ..
Me: its ok, you’re forgiven, have a nice day.
Him: ermmm, wait is it ok to call on this number again?!
Me: on this number? for what purpose?
Him: I just ..ermm..I just like your voice
Me: fuck off, NO YOU CANNOT.
That was really ridiculous, who’s that asshole who calls people at 5 am for no purpose and then he gets a really good purpose, all I wanted is to get some time to sleep just to be able to fake a smile on my face in the morning.

That’s actually a really nice pub story. If you got to pubs that is. Perhaps you’re not but you are a person who replies to miss calls at dawn. I guess that would come in handy one day. As for the second caller. I thought we got past that in 2001. The whole dropping your number on a piece of paper. Or random dialing and asking for Abdul Jabbar. No one ever knew Abdul Jabbar. He must be a lonely guy. Okay I’m getting carried. Signing off.

I usually don’t answer strange numbers and I don’t call back on them too, but the thing is that lately some friends started to call me from their new numbers or their parents’ and for times I ignored them because I thought they’re strangers. This time I saw three missed calls so i thought she/he didnt call for once which means they’re not calling the wrong number and maybe its important..
Anyway,I’ve learned that I shouldnt call back on strange numbers.

In my opinion you talked to much you should have just said “wrong number” and then close the phone. Dont give them room to talk and waste your time.
