The Conversation that never was.

In the rare quietness of the house, with me just staring blindly at the computer screen... There suddenly a voice called out my name...

Voice: Sophiaa...

Bewildered, i looked around, but there was not a single soul in sight. I shook my head and continued my "What does your nostrils say about your attitude?" quiz on Facebook. As i was answering this question;

3. How many times do you dig your nose in a day?
a) Never
b) Once
c) Only at night
d) So many time i can't recall

...suddenly, the same raspy voice called out again!

Voice: Sophia... Can't you hear me?

I decided to reply, although stuttering.

Me: Y..ye..yes. I can. But w-where are you? W-w-who are y-you?
Voice: Have you forgotten me? But how could you?

I started spinning in my chair and covered my ears with my hand. But when i let them go, the voice continued...

Voice: I am your old flame. Your love. Your everything.
Me: But who are you??
Voice: My name is...Nescafe.

I let out a sharp gasp, my heart beating so fast it hurt.

Me: It's you...again! What do you want from me this time?!
Voice: Don't you...don't you miss me?

I dropped my head, ashamed.

Me: Of course i do, darling.
Voice: Then, why haven't you come to visit for months?
Me: I...I...I...
Voice: But why?!
Me: I can explain, love.
Voice: Then, explain! I'm listening.
Me: I couldn't help it, i really couldn't. But I had a new priority...i couldn't afford to see you anymore.
Voice: Why?
Me: My mum won't let me!

I was close to tears. Why didn't he understand?

Voice: Your mum? Again?
Me: Yes... and she introduced me to someone new:(
Voice: She dared?!?! Did she?! Who is it? Who made you change your heart?!
Me: H..his..His name's Lipton.

There was a dreaded moment of silence... A pin dropped and the both of us could hear the silence between us.

Voice: It's him... Do...do you love him?
Me: I really didn't! I swear i didn't! But i started to spend everyday with him..and i guess...i guess i started growing fond of him.

All i could hear was the sound of a small hiccup and i could hear Nescafe drawing in a deep breath. Uh-oh...

And then..he broke down.

Voice: How could you do this to me? We've been together for 13 years. How could you, how could you fall for someone you just met?
Me: It's not Lipton's fault! This is Gastric's fault. He batu-api'ed my mum:( Now, my mum doesn't trust you, she thinks you'll endanger me, put me to harm. But, but you'll always remain first in my heart! Although we're not allowed to meet anymore..Truly truly!
Voice: Then, why won't you come to me anymore?

And suddenly, something within me snapped.


There was a "pop" sound and suddenly, Nescafe showed himself. I couldn't take it anymore. Running and flailing my arms, i ran into his embrace. Who cares about Lipton, who cares about mother? It's just me...and Nescafe now and my cousin in the background.



And we lived happily ever after. The end.

Just my crazy little craving for coffee at the wrong time, have to replace it with tea instead these days hehe.


Damn, now it's calling out my name again! Should I?
