REGRET

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 manages to reply to Chinie's texts
when he gets off from work.

One time, JM received 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
receives 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
thing he remembered was reading Chinie's text.
He was so tired he fell asleep and wasn't able to
return Chinie's call. He can still hear his phone
beeping but he's too tired to look at the message.

When he woke up the next day, he remembered
that he needed to call Chinie. He ignored the
messages and dialed Chinie's number. No one
answered at her house. He called up her
cellphone and was surprised that her father
answered the phone. In his voice you could feel
his
tears and hear his heart tearing apart.

"JM, why'd you call just now? Chinie's been waiting
for you!"

"I'm sorry, I was tired and fell asleep. I called at
home but no one answered. Where are you now?"

"Just wait for us at home."

JM went to Chinie's house and much to his
surprise he saw a lot of people inside. The house
was brightly lit but you could see the gloom in
every person there. JM was greeted by
Chinie's mom in tears. She hugged him tight and
cried on his shoulders.

"Chinie was waiting for you. She didn't go out with
us because she was waiting for your call. She was
killed last night by some robbers who came in
here. She's gone JM, she's gone."

"Chinie texted me last night..how could that
have happened?!"

JM couldn't look inside the coffin. He couldn't
move and it felt like his whole body was stuck
on the chair he was sitting in. He wanted to cry but
it seemed something was blocking his tears. He
turned to his phone and read the messages there.

"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. It was true that
Chinie had been waiting for his call. To her last
breath all she thought of was him.

He stared at Chinie inside the coffin. The
tears started flowing. He couldn't say anything.
The
only words he uttered...

"My baby, I'm so sorry, I'm so, so sorry.. I love you
so much"
