I miss you.


"Hello?"


"How could you do this?"


I was stunned when I heard an unfamiliar voice through the phone. For a moment, I didn't utter a word.


"Babe, talk to me."


I can feel the pain on the man's voice. As if he was tortured for donkey's years. But who is he?


"E-Excuse me, you are calling the wrong person." I was about to hang up when I heard him chuckle.


"I was just kidding. Hi there, Lena."


Again, I cannot utter a word. I was confused. I mean, seriously? How did he know my name?


"Who are you?" I asked. I was getting irritated.


"This is me, Jonah."

"Oh! Jonah! You didn't tell me it was you," My confusion and irritation was replaced with relief. He was my classmate. "How'd you know my number?"


"I got it from your friend," Before I could say a thing, he continued talking. "Uhm, can we.. go out some time?"


For the first time, I smiled while having a call from a guy on the phone. I felt butterflies in my stomach.


"Sure."


And from then on, we started meeting each other. I started knowing more about him, and so was he. Until he confessed to me. I can see that he's nervous that time. Probably because he was afraid of rejection. I didn't reject him, because I feel the same way too.


How I miss those times. When you were still on my side. When I was the only girl you laid your eyes upon. When I was your princess.


But I can never take that back.


"Baby, it's me."


"Baby, where are you? Please call me when you hear this."


"Baby, I'm worried about you."


"Baby... please. Talk to me."


"Baby, I love you."


I felt a distinct sting on my heart. I was trying so hard to stop the tears from falling.
