The Last Voice

Ravi was a successful engineer — well-settled, respected, always busy.

But far away from home… and from his mother.

His mother would call almost every day, just to hear his voice.

But Ravi would often say, “Later, Ma. I’m in a meeting,” or

“I’m tired, I’ll call you back.”

Every time she called, she’d say just one thing:

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WJpfo2NLW

> "I feel better after hearing your voice, beta. My day feels complete."

One evening, Ravi was exhausted. His phone rang.

It was his mother. He looked at the screen… and rejected the call.

"I’ll call later," he thought.

That “later” never came.

The next morning, an unknown number appeared on his phone.

> “Ravi ji, your mother passed away last night…

She had a sudden heart attack.”

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLDVFNnaYV

The world around him collapsed.

He rushed to his village.

When he arrived, everything felt too quiet… too late.

Beside his mother’s bed was her old mobile phone.

Ravi picked it up. There was a voice recording saved — just hours before her death.

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSWGXLX5F2

He pressed play.

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES0blyug2H

It was her voice:

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhWvNgFAW9

> "Beta… I don’t know why, but my heart feels heavy today.

If I can’t talk to you again…

Just know, I love you so much.

I live for the sound of your voice.

You are my world…"

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4VFkNhPDL

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4JPdJuqMK

Ravi froze.

Tears streamed down his face.

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOgQzmj4nq

He played the message again. And again.

Each time, it broke him a little more.

His mother was gone.

But her voice remained.

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcNJoByS4D

Forever.

571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrR8mPvfF8

Her last voice… the only thing he could never reply to.
