It all started in November 3, 2003 when i received a text message from unknown number..right after a car accident hit me( together with my brother)..but before that heart-trembling encounter…in July 2003…an unknown person(again) sent me a message…i noticed that the country code used is different (+966) from the usual code we use ..followed by another message each day…i begun to think “who is he?”
the person who texted me in july 2003 became my friend (though were not “literary close friend”)…i found out that he’s from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia…and he works for Mc. Donald’s Int’l.
so from then on we exchanged text messages…until 1 day day i found out that he is having a sort of ” understanding” with my officemate…i was not bitter at all when i learned that…because i don’t have the right & we’re not having an affair at all..i only askesd myself ” how it all happened?”
after that car accident, i received(again) a message asking” how am i doing now?” it was so annoying! i keep on receiving text messages from unknown person..i can’t help it until i gave him a call and begun to talk to him in a “mataray way”
“sino ka ba? at sinong nagbigay syo ng number ko? ha?! baka naman pinag titripan mo lng ako? sinong nag utos syo na itext ako? tigil tigilan mo ako ha!!!” was the exact word i told him..
the voice on the other line was ..calm…soft spoken..” walang nag uutos sa akin na itext ka, ako ang may gustong itext ka..ako si BENEDICT”
…that was the start of OUR FRIENDSHIP(,”)
