Day 030 Part 2

1:35am

Unlikely: “Who's Jhing Blanco?” Rico asked Petra who just laughed and laughed. Petra really went crazy. On the other hand, Rico was curious towards this person the author dedicated the story to.

1:40am

Unlikely: He wandered around 'my works' of that person and tried to search for titles that sound manly. There were so many pages of her stories. He thought, "Does she even have a life? Why did she write so many stories?"

1:45am

Unlikely: Until he stopped and saw this one title. “Seven Degrees of Separation¹.” It was Rico's favorite song.

1:50am

Unlikely: Rico first read the story from his side… then her side next.

1:55am

Unlikely: And the first thing Rico said was…. “Wow.”

2:00am

Unlikely: After Petra went crazy from reading, Rico asked who Jhing was.

2:05am

Unlikely: “She's good ah. Just cold.” said Petra.

2:10am

Unlikely: “How cold?” asked Rico.

2:15am

Unlikely: “Go ahead and try talking to her…. Of course, IF she replies then you two can talk.” Petra sends the link of Jhing's Facebook.

2:20am

Unlikely: “Hmmm interesting,” whispered Rico.

2:25am

Unlikely: Rico created a facebook account named Sir Dirham. Petra said she's cold so he need to step-up. Sir Dirham is the name he chose because Rico saw the picture of that ill-tempered Sir and read a comment on Jhing's status. I think it's her Fangirl.

2:30am

Unlikely: Daniel Dirham is really really hot!!! Thank you ate Jhing for introducing him to us!!! > ///// <

2:35am

Unlikely: Rico thought, maybe Jhing will notice him if he use the name Dirham.

2:40am

Unlikely: But Rico was wrong because Jhing just ignored him.

2:45am

Unlikely: Because of the boring days of being seen, he read sic's A writer’s own love story and saw that the name of the male lead was Rico. "Uy, the name sounds good ah," he thought. It was a love story of a certain writer, and a certain reader. It was Jhing's and Rico's.

2:50am

Unlikely: He changed the name of the account he made. He was thinking maybe Jhing will notice him even more if it was her favorite name that he'll use. But Jhing's behavior towards him didn't change. No matter if the name was Sir or Rico.

2:55am

Unlikely: She's still cold. Rico was in a bad mood because of being snubbed.

3:00am

Unlikely: Until one certain 11:11pm…

3:05am

Unlikely: She finally replied.

3:10am

Unlikely: He finally starts talking to Jhing who now rarely left him on seen.

3:15am

Unlikely: Rico couldn't understand why, but he always feels happy whenever Jhing replied… even though her replies were still cold.

3:20am

Unlikely: Rico even boasted their chats to Petra even though they were not officemates anymore. It was funny because Petra was really envious. Rico only said to him, "Nothing you can do ah. This is all thanks to my handsomeness."

3:25am

Unlikely: A huge smack is what he received from Petra.

3:30am

Unlikely: But that smack couldn't remove Rico's happiness whenever 11pm comes. Because now, he is confident that she will reply back… And that Jhing is also waiting for his message at 11pm.

3:35am

Unlikely: Everyday, Rico waits for 11:11pm to come to send his message.

3:40am

Unlikely: With or without a reply, it's okay for him.

3:45am

Unlikely: Jhing became Rico's daily dose 11:11.

3:50am

Unlikely: He hopes that he is also Jhing's daily dose of 11:11.

3:55am

Unlikely: They became closer because of Rico's persistence and effort.

4:00am

Unlikely: Where's the benefit of Jhing's coldness ah!? They got close with seen?! Of course not! It's because of Rico's effort! And so that's why.

4:05am

Unlikely: They keep lightening up each other's mood so they got even closer.

4:10am

Unlikely: Chatting.

4:15am

Unlikely: Being cold.

4:20am

Unlikely: Being stubborn.

4:25am

Unlikely: Seen-ing.

4:30am

Unlikely: And now, Rico often slept really late for Jhing.

4:35am

Unlikely: And now, Jhing also slept really late because of Rico.

4:40am

Unlikely: The day never ends without them talking to each other. They are really happy.

4:45am

Unlikely: Even though Jhing's cold.

4:50am

Unlikely: Until one day, Rico woke up uneasy.

4:55am

Unlikely: He wasn't supposed to think nor feel that way, but there's nothing he can do. He felt really nervous the whole day. He couldn't even concentrate on his designs because his mind was in chaos.

5:00am

Unlikely: The loud beating of his heart didn't disappear even until the night came. He was so anxious that he kept looking at the clock.

5:05am

Unlikely: “Puta, what is happening to me?” he asked himself.

5:10am

Unlikely: She's now online.

5:15am

Unlikely: He was very eager to login on facebook and open his chat box with Jhing.

5:20am

Unlikely: Jhing didn't reply to his last message. Just a seen.

5:25am

Unlikely: Even though it was just a seen, it still made Rico smile.

5:30am

Rico: He typed the words he wanted to say towards Jhing. “Hi Jhing. Missed me?”

5:35am

Unlikely: He was already prepared to send this message tonight.

5:40am

Unlikely: He looked at the clock.

5:45am

Unlikely: “Puta, what's taking 11:11pm so long?!” he asked. It was still 8pm that time.

5:50am

Unlikely: So he waited.

5:55am

Unlikely: He waited and he waited until….

6:00am

Unlikely: Jhing messaged him. 11:11pm.

6:05am

Unlikely: She said…

6:10am

Unlikely: “I miss you Rico. 🙂 ”

6:15am

Unlikely: Rico was so shocked at what was happening and felt like his heart will explode out of his chest…. Until suddenly…..

6:20am

Unlikely: He woke up.

6:25am

Unlikely: It was just a dream.

6:30am1

Unlikely: Rico stared at the ceiling. He was sweating from head to toe. The surroundings were dark, only the light from his laptop was left open. He actually fell asleep.

6:35am

Unlikely: As he stares at the ceiling, he was in deep thought.

6:40am

Unlikely: It was very shocking because Rico very rarely thinks of things, especially if it's deep.

6:45am

Unlikely: He lifted his palm towards his forehead and blinked his eyes a few times.

6:50am

Unlikely: “What the hell are you thinking Rico?” he asked himself.

6:55am

Unlikely: He looked at the clock.

7:00am

Unlikely: 11pm.

7:05am

Unlikely: He quickly moved towards his laptop.

7:10am

Unlikely: He looked at the clock once again. 11:03pm.

7:15am

Unlikely: “Shit! It's almost 11:11!”

7:20am

Unlikely: He kept reloading because Facebook was taking too long to open until……

7:25am

Unlikely: Unable to connect to the internet.

7:30am

Unlikely: “*!#^$%@%@! *censor* WHY *censor* NOW @%^#%@$”

7:35am

Unlikely: He looked at the clock again.

7:40am

Unlikely: It's already 11:11pm.

7:45am

Unlikely: Fuck.

Unlikely: I mean, *censor*!

7:50am

Unlikely: He washed his face to cool down his nerves. He even almost threw his laptop away.

7:55am

Unlikely: That's when he thought…

8:00am

Unlikely: Why would he threw his laptop away when it's really expensive, and it was his gift to himself when he received his very first salary? There's a Burger King on the next street anyway. He just need to ride a jeepney once, and he can connect to their wifi. Burger is also delicious!

8:05am

Unlikely: Maybe his daily dose of 11:11 won't get bored waiting for him.

8:10am

Unlikely: Maybe that girl won't get angry even though she's cold.

8:15am

Unlikely: Maybe Jhing will not notice if I won't pm at exactly 11:11.

8:20am

Unlikely: Rico went to Burger King despite wearing mere boxers and undershirt.

8:25am

Unlikely: He quickly asked for the password and connected using his phone.

8:30am

Unlikely: He was happy when the FB loaded fast, but then the staff stopped him and said that he should order first before he drowns himself in the internet. So he ordered.

8:35am

Unlikely: Then he glanced at his messenger and was shocked when he saw that there was actually an unread message from Jhing.

8:40am

Unlikely: What did the pm say?

8:45am

Unlikely: “I miss you Rico. 🙂 “

8:50am

Unlikely: Rico was surprised. He even almost spit the burger he was eating but the burger was expensive so he forcefully swallowed it. Rico replied…

8:55am

Unlikely: “WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO JHING?!?!?!?!”

9:00am

Unlikely: The one who was using Jhing's facebook laughed. He didn't hear it, of course. It was just on the chat, a “hahahaha!” with emoticon of :))))))

9:05am

Unlikely: “Leche, you made me wait for 11:11pm! Just when we are finally together, that's when you'll suddenly forget about me?! Should we just break up?!" Said Jhing.

9:10am

Unlikely: “Ay, sorry babe ;)” Rico replied while smiling.

9:15am

Unlikely: “Are you going to waste our 2 years relationship? :”>” he added.

9:20am

Unlikely: “Leche!” Said Jhing.

9:25am

Unlikely: “Leche.” Said Rico.

9:30am

Unlikely: It's not only Gus and Hazel who have the rights to have an Okay? Okay². Right?

9:35am8

Unlikely: Because Rico and Jhing who started online…

9:40am

Unlikely: They also have one.

9:45am

Unlikely: Courtesy of Jhing of course, she's the cold one ah …

9:50am

Unlikely: Leche! Leche.

9:55am

Unlikely: Their's is even more intense because of the exclamation point.

10:00am

Unlikely: Leche forever!

10:05am

Unlikely: Hashtag BlushingToTheBones.

10:10am

Unlikely: The end.
