 『 the Missing Piece 』

- NO STORY SITS BY ITSELF -

Yesterday while I was at Tony & Jackey, an unregistered number sent my phone ringing.

Without thinking, I answered it and heard a woman’s voice at the other side.

 

Caller: “Hello?”

Me: “Yes, Hello?”

Caller: “Hello? Benjas?

 

 (O.o? starting to get suspicious on who the unfamiliar voice is)

 

Me: “Ah…Yes?”

Caller: “Benjas. . .It’s me! Madame Ocariza!”

Me: “Oh  My Gosh! Mdme. Ocariza ?! ?! ?! ?!”

 

-then I suddenly got disconnected-

 

~darn it~

I hate cliffhangers !!!

 

So I quickly saved the number and sent my high school せんせい an SMS

(SMS or text message, I think in Japan you call it as e-mail when you send a message via phone).

 

She told me via SMS that her phone was low on a battery that’s why our conversation suddenly got cut off. We had a brief exchange of SMS/e-mail but what touched me was when I received this message:

 

“You know, the scrabble team that you and Reyna have started has never stopped. I have several members now. We already joined several competitions. I thank you for pioneering it”

 

I was so touched by this and started reminiscing my high school days when my dramu was suddenly got cut off the moment I read the remaining message:

 

“Back to you. Have you married already? If not, don’t get married yet.”

 

Huh? Of course NOT!

 

(laughs)

 

I’m too young to get married and I’m happy being single.

 

(~__~;;)


Come on, I’m already 22! I already graduated from college.

 Yet, some of my HS せんせい and classmates still treats me like a kid and are still over protective.
