00:00Arjun always answered his mother's calls, no matter where he was, whether he was in a meeting, stuck in traffic, or out with friends.
00:08If his screen lit up with mom, he'd pick up. It was a promise he'd made to himself.
00:13But that one day, he broke it.
00:16He was tired, overwhelmed, and just busy being an adult.
00:21So when her name flashed on his phone, he silenced it and whispered,
00:26I'll call her later.
00:27But later never came.
00:30That night, he got a message from his uncle.
00:33Your mom fainted. We're at the hospital.
00:36Arjun's entire world collapsed in that single second.
00:39He rushed there, heart-pounding, breathless, only to find her asleep.
00:45Tubes snaked around her. Machines hummed a terrifying tune, as if they were holding her life together.
00:51He reached for her hand, limp and cold, and whispered,
00:55I'm here, Ma.
00:56And in her half-conscious state, she whispered back something that shattered him into a million pieces.
01:03I called because I just wanted to hear your voice.
01:06In that moment, Arjun realized that in chasing life, he had forgotten the very person who gave him life.
01:11He stayed by her side all night, praying, regretting, begging for a second chance.
01:18The next morning, she woke up.
01:20She smiled that soft, fragile smile he grew up.
01:24Withen said,
01:25I knew you'd come.
01:26Arjun learned a lesson that so many of us discover too late.
01:30Time doesn't warn you when someone is calling for the last time.
01:33Love doesn't wait for a convenient moment.
01:36The people we hold dearest don't stay forever.
01:39So now, when his phone lights up with Mom,
01:42he answers before the first ring even finishes.
01:45Because he knows every call is a gift.
01:47Don't wait until it's too late to pick up the phone for the ones you love.
