Assurance

A confident voice answered the phone.

He, in turn, hesitated before he spoke. The outlook was bleak. He was all but certain of the outcome of this conversation. He wished he could put the phone down now, tie a rope to the ceiling fan and hang himself. But, he persisted and tried to sound reassuring. He kept looking at the tall building in front of him. What kind of calamity was needed to rupture this 30 storey building right through the middle to make two symmetrical pieces?

He was silent and then, he mumbled his sentiments. He would have rather been sitting in the toilet at this moment.

The voice at the other end of the line responded firmly and calmly - “Yes, that will be fine”.
