Rhea is in her bed lying on her stomach reading her favorite local newspaper that she bought this morning.
It will be her bestfriend's Birthday on Monday. She flips the paper to the page where the number of the Columnist is written. She wanted to surprise Nory on her special day by greeting her through the newspaper. She wants her name and photo on the column by Monday.
She texted: HI, THIS IS ANDREA GRACE SAAVEDRA. PLEASE INCLUDE MY BESTFRIEND ON YOUR GREETINGS THIS MONDAY.IT IS HER 21ST BDAY. HER NAME IS NORIEL A. LIZARES. THANK YOU.
She texted the columnist around Eight in the evening. But she was disturbed by the beep of her phone.It is now 9:45.
"Got your message. Your welcome Ms. Saavedra. Have a good night. "
"tnx po". Her short reply and went back to sleep again.
4:45 AM.
Rhea's phone is vibrating. Through half closed eyes, she grasp for her phone. There is a message from the unknown columnist.
"Hi dear, I am afraid I may not able to include your greetings for Monday's issue. Can I just show it the following day?"
She felt sad. But she can do nothing. And at this moment she has fully awake. But did not bother to get up.Her morning routine starts with biking around the subdivision many times till she gets exhausted. This time she felt lazy to move.
"It's okay,Sir/Ma'm." she tipped her keypad.
"I am male. Im 63 years old."
huhhhh????? She didnt know whether to laugh or smirk. She is wondering about the texter's reply. Hmnnn...🤔🤔🤔
"Okay,po Lolo (grandfather)."
"Oh,ouch!"
huhh???? Now, wait... what's going on
She is getting curious. She felt nervous.
"Why,po Lolo? Why, Sir? What happened? Why you replied, OUCH?"
"Nothing really, I was just kidding you. By the way Im a 36 years old man. You made me laugh when you called me LOLO(grandfather).Nah, I am not that old,am I?😏
Whoaaaaa! Rhea, who was reading the text suddenly felt unsually alive and started a chuckle. There is this cold feeling that runs through her spine.It means she is getting excited and nervous...somewhat...GETTING KILIG...kinda to giggle.
GOsh, gosh,gosh... dont give me false hopes....oh please,dont...
Her fingers typed very fast.
"Ooops, sorry Sir. It's your fault for telling me awhile ago that you are 63.That is why I called you LOLO or grampy. Surely not my fault.I was just being respectful to an elderly😀."
"LOL. No worries. How old are you by the way?"
"Im 20. Nice to know you, Mr?" She replied and her heart is beating so fast in so much anticipation.She has held her breath unconciously.
" LUIS MARCO DE SAAVEDRA,at your service My LOLA!"😉😉😘😘😘
