During that time, only few students have their own cellphones. She doesn’t have one yet. And so he didn’t know where to contact her again. They only knew each other’s names. Went to the bar they met Fridays, but she isn’t coming anymore. He knew her university but doesn’t want to look like a stalker. So one time he brought a paper bag with him, wrote the girl’s name and gave it to the school guard asking if he can put it on his post, wishing the said girl will see her name. Almost a week after that, while filling up a form for lost ID at the guard post, she noticed the paper bag with her name on it. She asked the guard about it and was told some guy from a week ago dropped it. She asked to open it, and in there is a book and a box of new phone. She chose to just get the book and asked for the phone to be returned to the giver. Once every special occasion she receives different genres of book, courtesy of the messenger guard who grew fond of her also as he is amused by being the messenger of the persons involved. Though she doesn’t give any reply. The fact that she’s getting every book was good enough for the guy. That kept on for 3 years. She’s going to be eighteen that year. And she received a book and an invitation letter. “ If you wish to accept or cancel the invitation, please call this number three days before the said date. Thank you.” Coeur’s xxxx xxx xxxx Mixed feelings as she read the card. It’s been three years and she really wanted to talk to him. Having these years to contemplate and get her feelings straight. She kept on going back and forth. A lingering feeling for her ex boyfriend. Or the excitement she feels every time she received the books from that guy. In the end, she called.
