Instead of putting the phone to her ear, Ryn opted for speaker. She put the phone on the floor and lied back on the bed. It was better to get comfortable when listening to Mika's nag. It was after all her own fault for forgetting to recharge the phone and switched it on.
"How could you do this to me? I called and called and called. I even sent thousands of messages to you but you ignored me~" Mika wailed.
"Sorry," it was all Ryn could say. She was at the fault this time so it was better to just listen meekly and accepting the accuse.
"Were you sick? Are you sick?" Mika gasped. It was a reasonable reason for Ryn to ignore her calls and messages. Ryn must be sick and too weak to even move and speak.
"I am not sick, Mika. I'm just... well... I fell asleep and forgot to recharge my phone," Ryn explained slowly.
"What?"
"Yeah, I fell asleep. I guess I was exhausted to notice my phone has no juice."
