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 t.i.tles 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 t.i.tle. “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.
