My cellphone's beeping sound woke me
up one night. Used to receiving important messages
only, I grabbed my cellphone and sleepily pressed
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 a textmate
at the wee hours of the night?" I asked myself.
Again, I deleted the message without bothering to
reply.
I was never a 'textmaniac' - someone who enjoys texting
anyone and everyone even in the wee hours of the night,
not to mention during the day. My parents who were
always abroad, 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 cellphone off. However, since
my mother was fond of calling me at night just to
check if I am safe at home, I decided not to.
Just as I was about to close my eyes and return to
my dreamless sleep, the phone beeped again. It was
from the 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 pressed the keys. I realized I was replying
to the message.
"Im not an angel, n if u want som1 2 save u,
Im not superman. Im just a simple person whom u woke
up in d mid of d nite! 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 did 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 a.m.! I had to prepare for school!
And that was also how it all started. There wouldn’t
be a day without a loving and thoughtful message from
her. It was only then I learned to appreciate text
messages and become eager and excited everytime my
phone beeped, hoping it would be her.
I never knew why, but her response would send shivers
down my spine.
"Value d people hu hav touched ur life bcoz
ull never know just wen will dey walk out of ur lyf
& nvr come back again."
