"Quick, quick, check out your emails!" Ja, excitedly told Mj. Surprisingly, Ja have already come over to Mj's house before she could even snapped out from a daze... Tsk, tsk, what is happening?
She's totally in a blank state of mind while Ja was typing Mj's email add on the screen.
"What's your password then?" Ja asked.
"Wait.. what?" Mj was shocked, but then she realized that it might not be that bad at all, so she abide.
"Okay, I'll type it myself. You're too excited for me, Ja." Obediently, Mj typed her password on the screen. Hola! Immediately, Ja scrolled down the titles all her messages in her inbox and started counting...1,2,3.....97,98, 99, 100 and so on...
"Oh my God, in just one day, it's more than a hundred emails you got from these guys all over the world Mj! You become popular and famous internationally!" exclaimed Ja.
"What do you mean...what?" Mj was in disbelief...
She went over and scroll her inbox and mentally counted herself the titles, and to her amazement...wow! really? Is this serious? Is this real? It can't be! Is she dreaming? She pinched Ja's arm to make sure, she's not dreaming and she heard an "ouch" from Ja.
"Why did you pinched me?"
Without replying to Ja's retaliation, she then proceeded to pinch her own cheek and she felt pain herself.
"Wow, I'm not dreaming, this is real" sighed to herself.
"You are not dreaming indeed! Come on, let's open one of these guys' emails and we will read it together!" with much excitement from Ja.
Mj couldn't help but read along with Ja...
"Dear Mj,
Hi.I'm...40yrs old...I'm from Texas. I'm an engineer. I saw your profile and got me interested in you. Can we possibly chat on my messenger? add me please...my email add & contact no...xxxxxx. my pictures below....."
Next emails:
"Hi.I'm from London..."
"Hi. I'm from Australia..."
"Hi. I'm from Rome..."
"Hi.I'm from Florida...."
"Hi. I'm from Nigeria..."
"Hi. I'm from Canada..."
"Hi I'm from New Zealand..."
"Hi.I'm from Czechoslovakia..."
"Hi.I'm from Pensylvania...."
"Hi I'm from Los Angeles...."
"Wow, can we really be able to read it all?" complained Mj. "My eyes is in pain already reading not even half of it yet."
"Huh so many to read and to look at those pictures of them guys and none of them have somehow catch my attention."
Successively complained Mj.
"Hushhhh, be patient, we can find your one true love in any of them, who knows?hmmm?" replied Ja.
As they continued to read, one of those emails that have a picture, captured Mj's eyes....
"Wow, wait, scroll back to this picture and zoom it in." Mj checked it out herself.
To her amazement this guy looks familiar. He looks like an actor of the movie "Braveheart" or in some other movies or concerts or singers which she's not really sure which is which. An excited scream could be heard from Ja.
"Yeeeeeeeheeeeey!"
"Come on Mj, send him a private message on his messenger. Maybe you could converse with him and eventually like each other, what do you think, my friend?"
"W-what?" Mj was in a red face. She can't help but blush herself, but then continued...
"What will I send, or how will I message him then?"
She's totally had no idea how to start a conversation online. She's good and can converse English very well in her real world, but online, and on a foreigner man? How? She can't believe that she's out of words!
"Well, you can start with a "Hi". And then introduce yourself telling him that he sent an email to you...and so on.... and don't forget to put on a smiley face emoticons afterwards....", adviced Ja.
"Okay," obeyed Mj and started to type...little did they know, that the guy she was sending message with, was actually online at that moment and immediately accepted her request and made a video call...Mj panicked a little bit.
What would she do? Would she accept the call?Is she ready to face and see the guy on the other line? Does she looks good now? What if the guy on the other line doesn't really looked good as his picture does? What if the guy on the other line would not like her? Am I ready and confident? Bombarded questions on her mind...And, before she could even accept the call, it ended! Huh?
"Why have you not accepted the call, Mj?", regretted Ja to her.
"Huh, why? Why have I not, really?"
She released a big sigh to herself. Ah, maybe she's not ready. Maybe she's really shy, maybe she's too scared to find it out herself, maybe...
maybe...
maybe...
huh! All the maybe's and she's not even doing anything about it...
