## Update 182: The Midnight Call (Avi and Soniya)
I had fallen into a heavy sleep, the image of Ritu Didi burned onto the inside of my eyelids, when the insistent ring of my new mobile phone jerked me awake.
I grabbed the phone, my eyes gritty with sleep, and saw the screen flashing an unknown number. *I just got this mobile yesterday,* I thought, surprised, *and I’m already getting calls from strangers this late.*
"Hello, who is this?" I cleared my throat, answering the call.
"You forgot me so quickly, Avi?" a soft, deliberately mysterious voice answered.
"What can I do? I get so many calls from girls that I simply can't remember all their names," I rolled my eyes, leaning back against the pillow, playing the part.
"Don't lie so much. You only just got that mobile yesterday," the voice on the other end chuckled lightly.
*(She knows that too. Who is she?)* My mind raced, suddenly wide awake. "Then tell me your sweet name yourself," I challenged, trying to place the voice.
"You have to find out on your own," the voice insisted, a thrill of secrecy in its tone.
*(Am I a magician that I can find that out?)* I thought, a slow smile spreading across my face. "If I go to the trouble of finding out, what will I get as a prize?"
"You'll get whatever you ask for, Avi," the voice became low and confident.
"Think about that promise carefully," I sat up completely, my heart beginning to accelerate. "I can ask for absolutely anything in the world."
"I always think before I talk," the voice stated firmly.
"Then it seems I have no choice but to find out your name," I whispered into the phone.
"You have to find out in three chances, though," she added, a teasing edge returning. "Otherwise..."
"Three is too generous," I scoffed, already reviewing the candidates.
"Then stop wasting time," she urged. "Tell me my name quickly."
"Just let me think for a moment." *(I gave my number only to Komal, Pankaj, Karim, and Heena yesterday. This is a girl, so it must be Heena or Komal. Komal would never call this late. So, is this Heena? It could be; Heena did say she would call me. But the voice is too soft, not like Heena's bolder tone. That means it can't be Heena or Komal. Then who is it? Kavita? No, she doesn't have a mobile. Ritu? Pankaj's sister? Why would she be calling?)* My attention snapped back to the dark cinema hall. *(It has to be her.)*
"Did you find out who I am, Avi?" the voice pressed, impatient.
"How many chances did you say you gave me, Soniya?" I took a deep breath, the confidence flooding back.
"Soniya." A soft, sharp intake of breath came over the line. "I'm genuinely stunned. You found out in just one chance."
My lund pulsed with victory. "Now for my prize," I demanded, my voice low and rough.
"What exactly do you want, Avi?" she asked, her voice breathless.
"You, Soniya," I didn't hesitate.
"Consider that you've already got me," she took a slow, deep breath, the sound intimate over the phone. "And, by the way, that is the entire reason I called you tonight."
A shiver ran down my spine. "You understood what I meant when I asked, right?"
"Yes," Soniya confirmed, her voice utterly direct. "You want to have sex with me. And I want to have sex with you, too."
*(Is she a slut or a virgin?)* The question flashed through my mind, recalling the tightness of her choot in the theater. "You too?" I asked, gripping the phone tight. "I don't understand. Is this why you called me so late?"
"I want to have sex with you, Avi," Soniya reiterated, her intention crystal clear.
"But..." I started, trying to grasp the sudden, intense rush of her offer.
"I know you really want to have sex with Heena," Soniya quickly interjected.
"You know that, too?" My eyes darted around the dark room.
"Yes," she confirmed, a hard edge entering her voice. "And I want to have sex with you before Heena does."
"Before Heena? I don't understand," I demanded, forcing her to be clear. "Explain this to me plainly."
"I hate Heena," Soniya hissed.
"You hate her? But why would you hate your own sister?" I frowned, confused by the venom.
"The happiness and attention that should rightfully be mine, she always gets," Soniya spat the words out. "At home, everyone loves her instead of me. Whatever new thing arrives in the house, she gets it. I get the better marks on the exam, but *she* gets the gifts and the praise."
"Just because of these small things, you feel this hatred..." I began, trying to minimize her feelings.
"This is nothing!" Soniya cut me off sharply. "Heena stole the boy I liked and wanted to be with, taking him away from me. That is why now I want to have sex with you before Heena has sex with you."
"You liked Heena's current boyfriend?" I asked, completely shocked by the depths of the rivalry.
"Yes," Soniya confirmed, the pain clear in her voice. "But Heena took him away from me and stayed with him for four years..." There was a sudden, muffled sound on the line, like a quick, whispered instruction.
"Where was I?" Soniya's voice returned, slightly clipped. "Yes, Heena is still burning me by staying with him for five long years. She gets everything, and I get nothing."
"Okay, fine," I agreed, a strange, dark thrill settling over me. "I will have sex with you first, Soniya."
"And after me," she pressed, her voice urgent, "you will have sex with Heena?"
I was surprised by the command. "If I'm getting you, Soniya, why would I need to bother with Heena?"
"You must have sex with Heena after me, Avi," she paused for a moment, thinking something through. "And you must tell her that you already had sex with me before her."
"Okay," I agreed, the plan for revenge adding a sharp edge to the desire. "First with you, and then with Heena."
We talked for a while longer, making tentative arrangements. When the call finally ended, I lay in the dark, my body heavy with the promise of Soniya. I fell asleep, my dreams already a mix of her desperate offer and the shock of the cinema hall floor.
