Are you busy today? A texted appeared on my phone.

No, I'm not. Why? I texted back.

Then not long after I got a skype call.

"Hello babe," Jacob said from the other line.

"Hello." I answered.

"How's your day?" He asked me

"Good so far. How's yours? You work today?" I asked him.

He nodded his head, "yes, but not busy today. You don't have any plan today?" He asked me.

I shook my head no.

"Teach me your mother tongue," he asked me.

"Why do you want to learn my mother tongue?" I asked him back.

"Well cause I want to be able to speak to your family when I visit, don't you think so?" He asked me.

I laughed and look at him. "OK, so where do we start?" I asked him.

He thought for a while. "What's I mean in Hakka?"

"It is ngai," I replied to him.

But then I thought of making fun of him.
"Says ngai an tapte. Please." I asked him.

"Ngai.." he stopped and asked me to continue

"An.." I reply.

"An," he said.

"Tapte,"

"Tapte." He said.

The I laughed. "Nice pronounciation," I said.

"What does it mean?" He asked me.

"It means you are so handsome." I said then laughed.

He pronounce it quite a few time, but I keep on laughing. "Do you want to know what is the actual meaning?" I asked him. And he nodded his head.

"It means I'm stupid," I said then laughed off.

He laughed along. "You are making fun of me," he said.

"I tagged something to you on facebook" I said.

"Oh really? Let me check." He said.

He looked at his phone, then he looked at me. "Babe, you know I was just out of my old relationship, and I am friend with my ex's family too on Facebook. Which I thought it might still hurt her feeling and I want to respect her family too, I don't want them to think I got over so fast." He said.

I looked at him through my laptop screen. Feeling kinda disappointed, "oh Ok, I'll delete my post. I'm sorry. I just didn't think about that." I said hoping he would say it is ok for me to not delete it. I take my phone and he still not saying anything. So I deleted the post I tagged him.

"I deleted it." I said.

"Thank you. I'm sorry ok babe? But you can tag me in the comment section instead." He said.

I nodded my head. "By the way I got something to do, let's just end this call okay? I'll call again later tonight." I said.

He looked at me for a while then said OK, and our skype call is cut off.
