JM is Chinie's boyfriend who works in a call center in Ortigas. He's always busy doing so many things. He only manages to reply to Chinie's texts when he got off from work.
One time JM receives a message from Chinie:
"Hi baby! how r u? miss u! call me when u come home k?! tc! love u!"
JM ignored the message because he always received the same message whenever it is time for him to go home from work.
"Baby,i miss u already! did u eat yet?! Take care when u go home! ill be w8ing 4 ur call. lov u!"
"Baby,where r u?! u're not replying to my msg. Well,ill b here w8ing for ur call! lovu!"
JM reaches home and lay on his bed. The last time he knew is tha he's reading Chinie's text. He was so tired he fall asleep and wasn't able to return Chinie's call. He can still hear his phone beeps but he's too tired to take a glimpse on the message.
When he woke up the next day, he remember that he needs to call Chinie. He ignored the messages and dialed Chinie's #. No one's answering in her house. He called up her cellphone and he was surprised that her father answered the call. In his voice you can feel his tears and hear his heart tearing apart.
"JM,why'd u call just now? Chinie's been waiting for u!"
"Dad sorry.i was tired so i fell asleep. I called at home but no one answered. Where are u now?."
"Just wait for us at home"
JM went to Chinie's house and much to his surprised he saw a lot of people inside. The house were so lighted but you can see the gloom on every person you'll meet there. He was greeted by Chinie's mom on tears. She hug him tight and cried on his shoulders.
"Chinie was waiting for u. she didnt go out with us coz she was waiting for ur call. she was
killed las night by some robbers who came in here. she's gone JM, she's gone"
"Ma,Chinie texted me last night..how could that have happened?!"
JM can't look who's inside the coffin. He can't move and it feels like his whole body is stucked on the chair his seating. He wanted to cry but it seems that something is blocking his tears to fall down. He turn to his phone and read the messages of Chinie.
"Baby, ill be w8ing for u to call. i wont go out with dad anymore!"
"Baby, im scared. i think theres som1 downstairs. pls call me already!"
"baby, theyre here. wut f they kill me. pls call me. baby where r u? i need you here now. please baby i can hear them come..."
"baby.... i love you!..."
He wanted to shout and cry so loud. It's true that Chinie is waiting for his call. Up to her last breath she only thinks about him. He stare at Chinie inside the coffin. Suddenly tears starts flowing down his cheeks. He can't say anything. The only words he uttered...
"My baby,i'm so sorry! I could have known, i could have fight for you! i'm really sorry! I love you so much!"
