Number 16
K rushed home everyday, hoping that T would cal soon... there were many times when K's family members were using the phone... and he quarrelled with his sister many times and begged his parents to keep the line free from 10 to 11, hoping that T would call. For the first few days, K waited, he waited every single day...When 10 O clock came, he was filled with hope... Every single min passed, and K felt sadder each minute... For the first day, K waited patiently by the phone... Each minute brought feelings to him... he was hoping, waiting, thinking, missing his love, T. People might think K was stupid to sit by the phone for 1hr everyday and doing nothing else, but that was what he did. So each and every minute passed and T didn't call K for the first day. K at 10 O clock and K at 11 O clock was entirely different. K at 10 O clock was someone filled with hope, but K at 11 O clock was a sad, dejected, disappointed man. Although it was only a call, it meant everything to him at that time.
Everyone knows that K was bad tempered, wasily angered, had male chauvinism, and never admits he is in the wrong when he is... but K had some good qualities, and one of it was he was an emotional, sentimental guy. He was kind hearted and thoughtful many times. He would think of others first before himself, and had a good sense of humour. All these qualities that K had, the best one was sentimental. K never failed to take out the pictures he took with T to see. So K waited wach passing day... and each passing day he became sadder... he kept thinking... why hadn't T called him?Finally, one of these nights, K was once again sitting by the phone by 9.55pm... he shut out everyone when they wanted to use the phone... he was selfish... he must make the line free for T to call... any call looking for his sister he would tell them to call back at 11.... and so that night... K waited... earnestly... everyday passed he became disappointed, but when the next day came, he became filed with hope again. So he waited, and waited... K could still remember the time which T called... it was exactly 10.25pm. He waited for 25mins, and when the phone rang, he knew it was T... he just had that feeling...
To hear T's voice after so long was like heaven to him. He was overwhelmed with joy... the first thing he asked T was..."Do u know I was waiting for u everynight to call me? Why did u take so long?"But K didn't blame T, as long as T called, it didn't matter if K needed to wait for many days... So K and T began to talk, it was very mushy. Although they were in different places, K could feel T beside him... K could feel the warmth of T... But the cal was short loved... every call that T made cost about 10-15 sing dollars, and it was only for a short 10 to 20mins... But T spent all the money she had to call K. T didn't mind spending at all, she knows that every min spent talking to K was worth it. One night, T told K, that she has no more money to call K anymore, and that would be the last time..K didn't want that to happen... so he told T to use her family's phone to make long distance call instead of going to public payphones. So T decided that would be good... And so T used her family's phone to call K, and they ended up talking a lot. T's family over there was rich, so they wouldn't mind. K asked T, then would u come back to spend christmas with me> and T replied, I will try my best to go back before christmas...
