My friend had always teased me about tying the knot whenever we were at a wedding ceremony.He's made it his hobby horse to discuss the marital life,though its funny that he's not even in a relationship.A few weeks ago,i received a beep from him notifying me that he'd already set me up with somebody and needed to tell me how much he screwed up.I found it rather intriguing and inquired for chapter and verse until i had all the necessary details.He suggested that i'd give it a shot since i was single and he assured me that it was a good wager considering she's heard a lot about me and couldnt wait for her phone to ring.The first episode commenced when i sent her a jocular beep introducing myself.She didnt reply,so i decided to give her a ring two days later.I was diverted to another line which explains why my message was still hanging in the air.She picked up and we had a little chit chat.Then we laughed it off and set a rendezvous on facebook.I showed up with a request,but the confirmation was pending again.So i browsed through her pictures to see for myself what the voice behind the phone looked like physically.She was cute,and quite a shutterbug.After a few riffles,i got tired and logged out.Finally,she accepted my request the next day.Then we began talking and chatting via mobile.Got well acquainted,and took off as friends.I even named her "Hawaii" a derivative from her name and she liked it.So far so good,the jelling is going like clockwork.Then i found out that we even lived in the same town as she was done with her exams and returned home.I didnt make inquiries about her address then,and i still havent.I think slow mo's the wisest decision for now.Last week,she told me she'd be leaving for Dubai to spend her holidays.I wished her a safe trip and now its been a few days since she's been gone,so am still looking forward to hearing from her again :)
