regrets...

Chinie is a typical college girl who enjoys life to
the fullest. She loves her boyfriend so much and
texts him every now and then.

JM is Chinie's boyfriend who works in a call
center
in Ortigas. He's always busy doing so many
things. He only manage to reply to Chinie's texts
when he got off from work.

One time JM receive a message from Chinie:
"hi baby! how r u? miss u! call me when u come
home k?! tc! lovu!"

JM ignored the message because he always
receive 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.
lovu!"

"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 text 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 if 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!"
