The Call

‘Hello! Who’s calling?’ he answered the noisy phone.

'Hello, I am Sara. Sara Wilburn. You were my Chemistry teacher at college a few years back. I found your number and just wanted to say hello! I hope ​you remember me. How have you been?’

'Sara Wilburn? The Potassium Permanganate girl?’

She smiled. 'Yes, Sir.’

'I’m doing great! It is such a pleasant surprise to hear from you! Where are you now?’ He asked; happiness ringing in his voice.

'I am in Australia. It’s been long, and I am trying to connect with everyone who has helped me get where I am today,’ Sara replied.

He smiled.

'Are you still at college?' she asked.

'Yes, I am still at college. Hey listen, I am in a hurry right now, but let me call you back soon,' he replied.

'Yes, yes absolutely! Thanks again!' she said, her smile evident in her voice.
