The Message

That same afternoon Francis immediately walked to the city. He wanted to buy the girl even a simple gift as a sign of his settlement with her. He was carrying his mother's cellphone when he left and he left his belongings there. He was worried that Micay might not answer his call if he didn't use his mother's number.

"Won't you call him first?" her mother asked as he said goodbye for his departure.

"When I arrive in town Ma. I plan to text her first so that I know where she is and I will only surprise her there," he replied with a smile.

"All right, as long as you'll be careful." The young man kissed his mother on the cheek before riding his motorcycle to his destination.
