Sweet 16

KC deliberately keeps himself as busy as he can for the next few days. During this time, 2 additional SMS from CK arrives;

The first; Hullo? You must be busy? Thinking of you.

The next, which comes after a few days from the previous in the middle of the night; Drinking with some friends now. Think I'm totally drunk....really wish you are here right next to me!!!

These SMSes go, with great self control and discipline from KC, unanswered, unreplied and unsaved.

Then, fate intervens in the most strange manner.

KC recieves an invitation from an associate to visit him overseas and see if they can work out some new working understanding. KC looks at the address; the associate is asking him to come down to his China office. KC's eyes narrow and sees that the office is situated in a province near CK's hometown.........

Almost on cue, KC's handphone buzzes with a new SMS. It is uncanny. CK has just sent a SMS; what's happening? Can you call me?

His mind in a pleasant daze over this new arrangement and turn of events, KC picks up the handphone and dials from CK's SMS number without thinking. There is a foreign sounding dial tone, then the line is pick up and KC hears CK's voice, clear and loud;

Hi how are you? You must be busy these few weeks and days! So quiet!!!

I'm fine, I'm fine. How are you? KC finds himself answering automaticlly, like a preprogrammed drone.

The weather's turning chilly now. Kinda cold. I'm having a nice relaxing time.

How's the back? KC asks almost as a reflex reaction.

Ha, the hospital says it's a simple sprain. So much for your Singapore Western Medical technology! I have been recieving a mixture of traditional herbal massage and modern oral medications so far.

Herbal massage? KC asks and almost blurts out, with special service? But he catches his tongue just in time.

CK goes on to describe her home stay. Finally she asks how KC is doing.

Good good. KC says.

There is an awkward silence for a few minutes.

Then KC cannot control himself anymore and asks; Is GGGG near your hometown? I will be going there in a few weeks time for some matters. Is it convenient for you to meet me then?

CK answers excitedly, Of course!!! Tell me the dates when you will be coming!!!

They exchange and co-ordinate details and information on the trip for a few minutes after which CK says she has to hang up as she needs to accompany her parents for tea. Before the conversation ends, CK asks KC to stay in touch. Then they hang up.

KC puts down his handphone and thinks. They have chatted almost like old friends, not lovers. Throughout the entire conversation, CK has not uttered a single word of endearment or professed intimacy. She does not even say that she misses him even though her SMSes are brimfull of such declarations!!!

KC thinks this is turning out to be very interesting.

KC begins to make neccessary arrangements for the trip, and accomdations for the both of them...
