Telephone. . .

How important is the telephone in your life? Well, for me it is really important. Without the telephone I would have not been here in this university. I ca still remember that date, it was May 6, 2003 when our phone rang and it was from UP high school and told my mother that I was accepted in UP high. I was a wait listed then, that time. Without our telephone, I could have enrolled to other schools already and I could have missed the opportunity to meet these wonderful people in this school.

When it comes to love life, the telephone is the most useful thing in our house that I could use to communicate with y loved one. Without the phone, every night would be very weary and would be no light in the darkness of my nights and talking about love on the telephone, I would like to share a story about this thing.

There was this boy who always calls a special friend almost everyday, every night. Even though they see each other in school everyday, it seems that the night would never be complete without hearing the girl’s voice on the phone. It seems to be their daily routine or a responsibility the boy should make every night. Even one night that the boy could not talk to the girl seems like a year.

They talk about different topics. They do not talk much about love because they were not lovers at all. They talk about happenings in the school and about their daily life. Sometimes, they even talk about movies and share with each other the movies that they have watched. They spend almost two hours talking on the phone and they even reached four hours sometimes without noticing the time. The boy feels like he is in heaven every time hey talk on the phone for such a long time. He would treasure every moment and every word that the girl would say. One time, the boy has bee scolded by his mother because of using the pone for too long frequently. The boy did not bother to listen to his mother and keep on calling the girl every night for too long. Until one time the boy’s mother scolded him while they were talking I the phone. The girl seemed to hear all the words that came out from the mouth of the boy’s mother. The boy put the phone down because he felt that that he was being embarrassed by his mother while he was talking to the girl. The boy went up and slammed the door and it made his mother mad and told him that he could not use the phone anymore. The boy cannot believe what he has just heard from his mother. He cannot live without hearing the voice of his special friend. What will he do now? Should he fight for his love, risk it all and call her still? Or follow his beloved mother.

If you were the boy, what will you do?

If I were him, I’ll risk it all. I would find another way just to call her. I may live without the telephone but I will not last a day without hearing her voice.
