Chance...

She stirred from her sleep when she heard something ringing. It was his hp's ringtone. She opened half of her eyes. The room was pitch black. She saw him jumping up from the other side of the bed to pick up the call immediately. He turned to look at her on the bed worrying tat the phone call might wake her up. She watched with her half opened eyes as he talked on the phone at a low volume, almost whispering. Yet in the silent room, a female voice could be heard from the other end of the line. Moments later, he walked out of the bedroom with his phone, his voice excited.

She reached for her phone beside her to see the time. It was a quarter to 3am. Who would call him in the middle of the nite like this? She frowned yet she sensed it was about something. Something tat she'd been wanting to ask him for the past few days. Something tat he need to face and she herself was scared of finding out. She got agitated and sat up on the bed. Should she? She got up from the bed and walked silently to the door tat was slightly ajar.

She could still hear him talking. For a moment, she had second thoughts. Maybe it wasnt about tat, maybe...another gal? Then suddenly he shouted in delight,"Yes! Yes! Finally!" He was obviously happy and relief.

*phew* Her sixth sense was correct after all. She stood by the door enjoying his happiness. He muttered on and on about how glad he was feeling.

She went back to bed, waiting for him to come in and spread the news. Finally he ended the call and breezed in the room. He jumped onto the bed, surprised to see her eyes gleaming in the dark staring at him. Then he smiled at her and told her the news. She smiled back, "I knew it, dear. You made it."

He was still dancing about when she double checked for him again. True enuf. His nightmare was over. As if he was given a chance. A chance to redeem his confidence, a chance to step forward and a chance to end all this misery.

"Why didn go sleep? Oh, tot tat i have another gal issit?"

"Yala, tot u been two timing me, keeping a mistress somewhere."

"I knew it. U don trust me la. Hahaha..."

A heavy rock had been lifted from his heart. Things were definitely looking up and she felt 10x more relief than him. She believed in him and she knew he could pull through. She felt proud of him.

Both of them then went to sleep, soundly and peacefully.
