When I woke up next morning and checked my cell phone, there were three unread messages. Again these were the nonsense messages from the same unknown number. I got furious and thought to call on the number and abuse the user. I did call. But unfortunately or fortunately, no one picked up. I did some more rings. And every time, the same result followed. I typed a long message full of wrong words but again unfortunately or fortunately I didn't press the send button somehow. I kept the phone back on to it's place and went to take a bath.
The later part of the day went without any text from the same number. I went to gym. I went to college. I went for extra classes. I did everything as usual. By the time I had forgotten about the messages too. And so, I didn't ask to any of the friends about the same.
But I got a message again. From the same number.
"Hey... you don't want to talk to me kya??" I read the message. There were two sad smilies at the end. I was being too rude, I guess. I thought to reply this time.
"I will talk. But I have a condition. You have to tell me who you are. And how do you know me..??" I typed and sent the message. I waited for the reply this time. Why? Still I don't know. But I waited.
She replied but she took a little time this time. Yes, she was a girl as I got to know from the text she sent me.
"I am Palak and I know you from last five years. How? I will tell you later." That's it. This was the text I got in reply. I read it again. And I recalled my past. I didn't know any one named Palak.
"Really? You are Palak? But I don't know any Palak. And from where you got my number?" I asked so many questions in one message. Though, I wanted to ask few more but 160 characters limit didn't allow me to include few more.
"You asked who I am and I answered your question. Now it's up to you to believe it or not. If you do believe then only reply me back. Thanks. Good night." she replied and I read it.
I just couldn't think what should I do for the moment. Should I trust or not? Should I just continue with the text or not? A part of mind was saying to not to trust. And at the same time my heart wanted to believe every letter written by that unknown girl. I don't know why it was. I don't know what was making me think so much. After all it was just few texts from an unknown number. May be it was my loneliness making me think that much. May be it was the emptiness or may be it was the desperation. And may be it was those few words written in those few texts which were written with so much of care and love.
I had trusted many people in life who were known to me. And sometimes they have hurt me. But I don't know why, I wanted to believe this girl named Palak.
And I did. I did text her. And then it started. The conversation between two strangers. Though, only she was stranger for me and not vice versa, as she said she knew me. She said she will tell me some day that how she knew me. And I didn't ask her about this matter any more.
I liked talking to her. I liked typing for her and reading what she wrote. Soon she knew almost everything about me and vice versa. You can say that we were no more strangers now. We knew each others now. We were friends now. And I liked this new female friend of mine.
