"Happy birthday!" A messages from an unknown number.
"Thank you! Uhhmm, sorry but may I know your name? Your number is not registered in my phone."
"This is Alex. I lost my phone during the encounter. And I got your number from Marcus."
I couldn't explain the joy the moment his name appeared in the screen. Thank God he's okay! If only I could hugged him and make him felt how scared I am, and how I missed him so much.
"When I heard you had an encounter with the enemy, my knees went trembling and all I could do is pray that your team is safe. I'm scared..."
"Shhh... don't be scared. You know that I won't leave you. And no matter what will happen, my heart and thoughts will always be with you."
I wanted to believe him, but reality is, how could he say those words when we haven't met yet in person? Not even in Skype or Messenger we had a chance to talk. Not because he's busy, but according to him he's not that Techy and doesn't have a smart phone.
Oh please heart, have a grip! You already been hurt before. Remember, you both agreed to never fall.
