Twenty Five Years & Counting

December 31, 2011 | Author: | Posted in Business

Maria was decorating her house for Christmas along with her sister and her best friend Santana. The phone was ringing repeatedly and by the time Maria answers the call, it was getting disconnected. Given her impulsive nature, Maria couldn’t stop herself from sending a text message to the number that flashed on the caller ID. She was waiting for a reply, but to her surprise, there was no response.

It was Christmas and after the night service she was wishing her family and friends a happy holiday, when she got a call from the same number. This time she was curious to know who the person was. She answered the call and as soon as the person from the other end heard Maria’s voice he conveyed Christmas wishes and quickly hung up. Maria did not pay much attention to the incident. She was busy with her family, and Christmas celebrations.

Little did she know, she would be getting calls from this stranger on every holiday occasion, from Christmas, New Years to Valentine’s Day and Easter Sunday.

It was 18th day of May; she again received a call from the same number. The stranger wished her happy birthday. This time Maria couldn’t hold her curiosity any longer, she called him back.

The stranger disconnected her call 3-4 times, but as she was calling him repeatedly he was forced to answer her call. She popped out all the questions that had been on her mind for the past five months.

In a nasty tone of voice, Maria asked the stranger, who he was.The stranger was humble in his reply and stated his name, and the reason for his calls.

He explained that he had seen her at the market and was anxious to meet her, yet was too shy to approach her. A mutual friend had provided him with her cell number and was made to promise that he wouldn’t tell her/his identity.

Maria was impressed and honored that she had a secret admirer.The stranger had hung up after his humble explanation. Afterwards, Maria found it hard to whole heartedly participate in her birthday celebrations, as she couldn’t help thinking about the stranger.

Maria called the stranger the next day and requested that they meet. They decided to meet at a park which was two blocks away from her home.Maria was eager to meet the cell phone stranger, but as a precaution, asked her older brother to walk with her to the park, on the next day.

Maria and her brother reached the park before time. The brother stayed back and talked with others in the park while Maria waiting at the swings, for her secret admirer. She was mentally preparing herself, not to over-react, to any situation.
