Call for Nicole













I got a call at 4.49PM.

It was a public number. Thinking it was probably work-related, I picked it up nonchalantly. Without so much of a greeting, the deep voice on the other end asked if I could hear him.

And I knew: It's him!!!!!!!!!!

I hoped with all my heart he was bearing good news but he wasn't. Apparently, something happened and his return will be delayed by 2-3 days. My heart broke and I kept telling him to jump the plank and swim back but he ignored me :(

He let me do most of the talking and I told him how sorry I was for everything he's gonna see in WhatsApp. And I kept bugging him to tell me he loved me which he did, again and again till I interrupted him with more questions.

Actually now that I rethink about it, the 9-minute call was short and pretty much me flailing about that he's not coming home on time. And me telling him I will sit my ass at Tanah Merah on Sunday till he comes home.

He didn't say much. Couldn't say much. Line kept crackling. The only thing I remembered was him saying will love me no matter what he reads and that he knows I'm sorry for it all. I don't remember if he said he missed me.

:( Now I wish I let him talk more.

My heart shall now beat jadedly till Sunday.
