Love comes too late

have you guys read Love comes too late from Manto. i really don't know what to make of this one. Basically, you have a "peave loving man" who hates to "slave for others," kind of like a bum for short, and another faceless woman talking on the phone. They flirt for a while  before one proposes that they meet. He refuses to meet her until he's properly dressed. She goes away for a few days and comes back to phone him, he spits out blood on the other end while she finally gives him her number.
