Jay's Love...

Episode 2: w******p Text Messages

WA text messages between me and Vanda.

Vanda: Did Jay texted you?

Me: No and why would he?

Vanda: (Confused face icon) Hmmm! He asked for your number and I gave him on the day you flew to Y city.

Me: Why you gave him my number without my concern (angry face)?

Vanda: (Smile face and with a face with 2 loves in the eyes) He is handsome and most important my boss, do you think I will not give??

Me: Boss??????

Vanda: Yes he is!!

Me: Okay and so what!! He is your boss and not mine. I am too tired and I talk to you tomorrow. Bye (sleepy face).

I was sighing and my brain starts to work without my control. Suddenly questions start to pop out. Why Jay wanted my number? Why Jay did not text me if he took my number? Jay had my number for the past 4 days without texting me. Does Jay like me? Why Jay this? Why Jay that? I was almost going crazy and over creative with this one simple information!! Why Vanda why!! Why you must tell me, now I cannot stop thinking! Uwahhhhhh!!! How the hell am I going to sleep?? Why I am so emotional?? Well, Krish you know yourself better, and yes you are a very emotional person, I told to myself. So, to make me sleep I on my mp3 Tamil love songs on my mobile, focused on the song, and started to hum few songs until I doze off to sleep. Suddenly a rooster started to crow at 9 am near my ears, I switched off my alarm and slowly opened my eyes. I saw a vague face beside me. My eyes open wide and I immediately sit up in shock and after a moment I realized I have some problem with my brain. I am not sure whose face is that, but the face looks familiar. I was not happy with myself and went to the washroom to freshen up. I was still on leave, so I started to do unpacking and clearing my laundry as well. Suddenly I received a text message from an unknown number. I opened the message and read it. I grinned until my ears; the text was from my big brother asking how I am doing and is all fine. I replied to him yes BB (big brother) and we have reached safely. He asked me to take care of myself and my health. I wished him the same and texted Kelly. I told her BB texted me and I was so happy, she said she is aware because she is the one who saved my mobile number in his contact list. I saved his number Big Brother on my mobile contact list. I heard someone knocked on my room door and when I opened it was Vanda. I opened the door and she walked into my room, she asked about my trip and the places we visited. I told her with excitement, and she was listening to it.

Suddenly she asked “Krish really you did not receive WA message from Jay?”, I said, “No and why he wants to text me, I don’t even know him!!” “You don’t know him?” “No, I don’t” and she said, “I have introduced him to you about 2 or 3 months ago in our apartment cafeteria while we were having dinner with my kids, didn’t I?” I felt blur and staring at her with confusion on my face. “Please don’t tell me you forgot ready.” Yes, I forgot and told her “I really don’t remember saw him.” Vanda explained to me how the incident happens. Jay come to meet his friend, coincidentally he met her and introduced him which I was having my dinner. Vanda said I told nodded at him and said hi. “Vanda it’s okay if I didn’t remember him, what’s so big deal now?” She stood up and said “Okay. Nothing. I am going to my parent's place with my kids.” “Okay, can you give me Jay’s number?” Vanda stared straight into my eyes with slight anger and asked why I need his number. Whoa!! She can pass my number to him, but I cannot have his number mehhh?? What the hell man!!! “I want to save in my contact list so when he texts me, I won’t be in shock!” “I will text you his number!” and she walked out of my room and almost banged my room door. Why is she so angry with me? I just asked her boss’s number, anything wrong yuhuuuuu!! A WA text message came to my mobile, she sent his number. I saved in mobile contact and continued what I was doing. My stomach started to make some sound due to hunger and I placed the order via a food app. After 30 minutes I received my food and finished it immediately. Once settled with food I started to read a book which I bought before I went on holiday. After a few minutes, I dozed off. I opened my eyes and saw a WA from Vanda asking did I texted Jay. I really feel irritated with her now, what is her problem lah??? (lah is a common add on the word in our country).

I searched for Jay’s number in WA and texted him, “Why you took my number?” and press sent, showed delivered and in a few seconds, my message has a blue tick. Jay replied “Hi” and I was waiting for him to continue. He did not send any message. After 1 or 2 minutes, I replied “Hi”, he replied “How are you”, me - “Fine, thank you, and you?” “Good too and how was your holiday?” “Had a wonderful time” and our conversation continued. “When arrived?” “Yesterday noon” “Had a proper rest?” “Yes, and can I know why you took my number from Vanda?” I was out of my patience. I only received “Simply” after 2 or 3 minutes later, replied “Okay” and I stopped texting him. Later in the evening, I received a text message from him “Are you free for dinner?” “Why” “To eat food ONLY!!”. Jay stressed the word ONLY! I was thinking okay free meal with a handsome guy and giggled to myself, replied “Time and location?” “Will pick you at your apartment lobby at 7 pm” “You know me?” He sent 3 icons of a woman patting her forehead. I replied, “Okay you still remember me.” “I remember you since the first time we met in March”. The same March meeting. Why the hell I cannot remember seeing or meeting him. I did not say anything I just said “Okay”. I am not the person who agrees to go out immediately with a stranger, since he is Vanda's boss and he has sent us to the airport last time he is not a stranger to me. I told myself since I am going to meet him face to face so I will try to recall the March incident by asking him. Around 6 pm I went to take my bath, wear jeans and a simple blouse. Went down to my apartment lobby and waited, about 5 minutes Jay arrived. I was fine until then but after saw him I felt nervous, yes very very nervous. My heartbeat increased like nobody's business and my stomach giving all kinds of weird feelings and sounds. I start to sweat profusely and I can feel the heat from my body. He looked at me and asked am I okay? I nodded yes and he said "why you are sweating so badly, are you having a heart attack or what??" I said "Choiii don't say like that, I want to live longer" and he laughed. I was like blurr.com and confused in my brain. I was silent and about 10 minutes time we arrived. He said we are going to a restaurant and I am okay with it. After reaching the shop and I was shocked to see the people who are waiting for us!!!!
