Mr. Fairy Tale

The Meeting

At 27 years old, Anna Nuesca is still single. A homebuddy who loves to sing the karaoke a lot. She dreams of meeting her prince charming online. Yes at 27 she still believes in fairy tale kind of love story. After an exhausting duty from the hospital as a nurse, she goes home directly and shuts herself from the world in her little room. Grab her phone and open online dating site. Filipino cupid, badoo, skout, name it. She had some chatmates but she never had a really serious one to settle talking to. And then one day of May...she met Alexander.
Alexander Schofflre, 29 years old, French, studying Filipino. He caught Anna's attention with his profile description written in tagalog saying he is learning Filipino culture and is looking for friends to train with his tagalog skills. Anna messaged him. She said, "Hi. I'm Anna."
She got no reply so she ignored messaging him further. After 3 days, she got a hi. They exchanged a few words to messaging each other in the morning and evening...
Anna: Hey Xander, I will be offline tomorrow until the next day.
Xander: Where are you going?
Anna: Unit's summer outing.
Xander: Ahh... How many are you?
Anna: Maybe more than 30
Xander: Only people from your unit are attending?
Anna: No. Maybe some friends too
Xander: I think I wanna have a party here at home. Inggit ako.
Anna: haha sure why not. You're a party person

Xander: haha just one snap I can set things on the go. Ganyan talaga saksakan ng gwapo and yaman
Anna: sus. So what happened to your research
Xander: ahh... Still ongoing. I have a question.
Anna: Go ahead
Xander: about filipina girls. If the guy told them they like them, do they think na the guy will pursue them?
Anna: well it depends but most of the time, the girl would think the guy would make ligaw when she find out the guy likes her
Xander: But i dont wanna pursue her I just like her and i can only offer friendship
Anna: then make it clear with her
Xander: i did but she is now avoiding me
Anna: why?
Xander: coz she does not want to be friends lang daw and she has fallen for me na

Anna smiled..
Anna: weh. Hindi tayo pwede. Di kita type
Xander: seriously.. I don't know what kind of like.
Anna: we'll find out soon.
Xander: you will be offline... Hmmm. I will send you a msg everytime i think about you. You do the same.
Anna: okay but will be able to send them lang when i get home
Xander: :( okay
Anna: see you friend
Xander: see you

After the outing, Anna hurriedly openned her messenger. She got so many messages even early in the morning, late at night, in the middle of the night saying... "I am thinking of you..."

Anna: I'm back. I thought of you too. While i was singing the karaoke, while we were on the road, before i went to bed...and while i was heading for home... How are you? Miss mo ko noh
She got a reply right away
