A Midnight Connection
A week passed and he didn't message back. Maybe he is really into his game, or he is truly a married man and decided to mind his business. I have only known him for a while, but why am I sad? Is it because he knows my deepest secret, never judged me, and I feel like I can tell him anything—or because I am just lonely?
I looked at my phone for the millionth time, and none of his messages appeared. I didn't delete his number since that would be useless as I have it memorized by heart. I turned on my data and decided to upload my pictures back. Maybe he can see them and get interested. Yes, every man is moved by what he sees. But what if he is a married man truly? Won't I be committing a sin by tempting him? I placed my phone back down. I guess I should finish up my work since the CEO is coming tomorrow, and the new product will be moved to market as well.
After getting home, I decided to watch Naruto—Pain arc—since that is my favorite season. Pain's theme song has always been my favorite; it's dark and gothic. I sat down with my fruit salad and started watching my favorite anime. I remember I was in SS 2 when I started watching it—that is like 9 years ago. Now I am 26, and I am still watching it. Jessy said that it is not "girl-like," that I should watch Barbie or Philippine love stories like other girls. I guess I am not like other girls.
"Awesome!" I screamed as Naruto got summoned to Konoha by the grandma frog. I have watched it a million times but never enjoyed it any less. My heart raced as the fight progressed. I still don't get why some people think that Sasuke is stronger than Naruto. Apart from the time when they were kids, Naruto has always been stronger.
My phone beeped once as a sign of a WhatsApp message alert. I ignored it since I didn't want to miss the Pain fight, but it kept beeping until I had to reply to whoever was being this annoying. I gasped as I saw the message alert was from Mysterio.
"This is not happening," I muttered, pacing around, already nervous about what he sent. I looked at my screen, which had 10 new messages from Mysterio. I clicked on it to view them all.
"That's because you barely leave your video game."
"How is it possible when we have only chatted twice? Well, if it makes any sense, it's the same for me."
"What are you living in a bush? You don't even know how WhatsApp works."
He texted as I was about to reply to him. "Baka" is a Japanese word for idiot. I smiled at his frustration. I should be angry at him for calling me an idiot, but I am not. I am quite happy that I have found a kindred spirit.
"Yes, just to put you out of your misery"
"I will ignore what you just said"
"So how has your lonely life been? You know the pain of loneliness is out of this world"
He texted, and he just didn't know how right he was.
Funny, in real sense, I am a loner too. I only have Jessy and my boyfriend, who is now my ex. But I am a loner by choice.
We kept chatting, and I forgot I was even watching Naruto. We chatted so much that I even forgot I had a busy day tomorrow.
