While Mj was still contemplating on all the possible "maybe's", the same guy that she messaged upon, did Video Called her again.
"Answer him, answer him! What are you doing Mj? Answer his call!" shouted Ja. Immediately, she snapped out from her contemplating, and with all the courage she could gather inside her, she eventually answered the call.
A scattered "H-hello" came out from her mouth.
"Hi, my name is Karl, I'm from Belgium. I'm 25 years old. You are beautiful! Could we be chatmates and get to know each other?" said Karl.
"H-hi. I'm Mj 30yrs.old.Thank you. Nice meeting you..I don't know what else to say. B-but you are 5 years younger than me." Mj, in a still scattered voice.
"Age doesn't really matter, does it matter to you, Mj?"
"I-I don't know or I'm not really sure. Pardon me please." Shyly replied Mj.
"No big deal, dont worry about it, Mj. Anyways, allow me to continue to introduce myself to you. I'm currently a local band singer here in my country and I play guitar and pianos too."
"Oh, really? I used to be a local band singer too in my college days and a choir member during my high school and I play guitar too!" exclaimed Mj.
"That sounds great! We have something in common then." Karl's eyes widened.
"Music!" they both exclaimed the same word at the same time.
Wow, what a coincidence! At that instance, a sudden spark for each other enveloped both thier hearts and both of thier eyes were sparkling.
And they both smiled at each other at the same time too. Wow, could this be the one they called "Love at first sight?" Nah! It's impossible. This is online. Anyone could fake thier facial expressions on the camera. But how could both of them put up a genuine smile on each other so quick, if it was really fake?
She quickly shook her head, but such actions of her was seen by Karl, which made him question her, "What's wrong? what made you shook your head, Mj?"
"Nothing, just a thought came accross my mind. Not really important..." lied Mj.
She then glanced quickly at her right side where Ja was just silently smiling while listening to the two.
While looking back at the video call, she accidentally read the time, it was 10:30p.m. already. Knowing the time, she asked Karl,
"By the way, what time is it there now in your country?"
"Here?" Looking at his wrist watch..he said, "It's 4:30 in the afternoon."
"Oh I see. I am 6 hours ahead of you then. It's 10:30 in the evening here now. Sorry, but I better be get going to bed now since I have work early tomorow. As you could read in my profile, I am a public school elementary teacher, so I'm really busy teaching during the day." sadly exclaimed Mj.
"Oh okay! But can we possibly chat tomorrow after your work? I'm beggining to really like you and love chatting with you." replied Karl.
"Okay then, I'll message you when I come home, then we can chat or video call. Would that be okay for you?"
"That would be great then! I'll see you tomorrow." Karl's eyes widened with all smiles.
"Okay, see you, bye!" ended Mj. The call ended.
With a questioning eyes, Ja asked Mj, "Why did you end your call so soon? You could have chatted more longer. I'm even just being silent here listening to you both, not wanting to disrupt you. Seeing both your smiles, I could really clearly tell that there's a spark blossomed in both of you."
Upon hearing this from Ja, Mj blushed and tried to hide her quick smile, and gently said, "You heard me. It's getting late here you know, and you ought to go home too, unless you want to sleep here in my tiny room with me, would you?"
"No, thanks! But keep me updated in your chats with Karl, okay?"
"Okay, thanks Ja, my friend."
"Don't thank me yet. Its still in progress.. thank me after you two get married.hehehe" smiled Ja.
"Okay. You go home now and be safe. Goodnight!"
"Goodnight!"
At the sight of Ja fading out from her room, Mj went on a daze again. She thought of her first conversation with the first man she chatted online. 'How did she really appear to him?' She asked herself. 'Did she appear to him like a cheap girl? No, she didn't! She probably appeared to him as 'shy girl' at first few minutes. But then, the next following minutes, after they both exclaimed 'music' at the same time, she felt like they both have common likes to begin with. And smoothly they just click comfortably with their conversation then. If not for the time going late already, she could have continued to chat with him then...
"Hmm it's really getting late. I'll be off to sleep...."
