I had sent the message at 5pm. My heart burnt, I felt sick and my head hurt. I could hear her crying.. I caused her to get hurt didn't I? My body began convulsing with pain. I had sent the message as soon as I disconnected why hadn't she replied? I looked at my phone nothing. I called once inspite of myself. Switched off. I held my chest and heaved. Tears didn't flow, but I was pained. It would've been a relief had the tears flown.

Finally. My phone lit up, a message from her. 'please' that's it? That's all she had to write??

My phone buzzed again, " My mum's not nice, I've got baggage. Leave me. If that's what makes you happy go" I closed my eyes as pain engulfed me " Never come back!"

Another message, " I take back! Please please call me. Let me explain. Please! Don't do this to me! " So she did want me'! What did this girl want anyway?

Once she asks me to go, once she asks me to stay. Can't she make up her mind?!

-" Get back to work! " my manager calls to me.

-" Yes sir" my break had exceeded by ten minutes already.

Nine pm when I came out again. Eighty seven missed calls. She missed me. I called her back, the call was immediately recieved.

" WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" She screamed.. I never heard her scream in the five months I've been talking to her. " why would you leave me when I need you the most?" a plea. My heart contrasted and I made out that she was crying, gasping for breath at the other end.

" You won't leave me right? " I heard myself say, " Even if your parent's hate me? You won't leave me half way right? I was shaking and the pain was real.

She understood what made me say such hurtful things to her then. She's young I know but I know she understood exactly why I said those things I was scared. I was scared of losing her. What will I do with myself?! I a man old enough to be her uncle, was in love her.. I hadn't even seen her face to face dammit!

Being the angel she is, she pledged herself to me. A sense of joy filled me in. I wasn't that old was I? Many couples have their differences in ages and they're all happy. Those that married for love are anyway.. I wouldn't ever hurt her in any way ever! But she didn't even know What she promised.

" I love you " she said. And My heart leaped in joy as I said that I loved her too. Her crying had ceased and I was finally able to make her smile again.
