Sad Love Stories
Text Mate Part 1
My cellphone's beeping sound woke me up one night. Used
to receiving important messages only, I grabbed my cell
and sleepily pushed the keys and read the message.
"Hi there! Care 2 b my txtmate?"
Not knowing who the sender was, I deleted the message
right away and placed the phone on my bedside table, I
tried to go back to sleep.
I had just closed my eyes when I heard the message tone
again.
"Hi there, again! Care 2 b my txtmate?" again,
the message said.
"Who the hell could this be asking for txtmate at
the wee hours of the night?" I asked myself.
Again, without bothering to reply I deleted the message.
I was never a 'textmaniac' - someone who enjoys texting
anyone and everyone even at the wee hours of night, not
to mention during the day. My parents, who were always
out of the country forced me to own a cellphone. They
told me that having one was more convenient - they could
monitor me even if they're miles away.
I wanted to turn the unit off, but since my mother was
fond of calling me at night, just to check if I was safe
at home, I decided not to.
Just as I was to close my eyes and return to my dreamless
sleep, the phone beeped again.
Same number...Such determination!
"Ply reply 2 dis msg & b an angel & save
me frm dis abyss of emptiness!!!"
I never knew why, but the message struck me. I got up
and pushed the keys... I just realized I was replying
to the message.
"Im not an angel, n f u want som1 2 save u, m not
superman... I'm just a simple prson who u wake up at dis
r of my nyt!!! Nway, do I know u?" I typed.
Seconds later came the reply.
"Nope. U don't know dis lonely soul. Nor does she
know u. But I want 2 b ur frnd. I'm Mikaella Cervantes.
U?"
"Just call me Julius. How'd u get my no.?"
I sent back.
"Hi Julius, nice 2 meet u. Just shuffled the last
two digits of mine," she replied.
That was the first and maybe the last time I met someone
over the cellphone.
We exchanged messages and learned so much about each
other that night. We only said goodbye when my alarm clock
rang at 5:00 AM! I had to prepare for school!
And that was also how it all started. A day would not
pass without a loving and thoughtful messages from her.
It was only then I had learned to appreciate text messages
and become eager and excited everytime my phone beeped,
hoping it would be her.
