Call me, maybe if you want my answer to be "si"

I awakened to the sound of someone pounding on my door, bursting through the one-hinge door, shoving the telephone into my hand and walking out. 

"Hola?" I half-asleep notified the mystery in the other end of the line. 

I've only spoken on the phone in Spanish a few times, and this time was no different. They spoke, I asked them to repeat what they said, they repeat, and all hell breaks loose because they repeated it even faster, using different words, 

I probably always sign my soul away by responding with "ah!, que bueno, si, muchas gracias, SeƱor!" 

And in this case, that was all that needed to be said. 

And then I hardly remembered what had happened as I collapsed back onto my bed in slumber.
