The night felt so long as Emmanuel and his parent celebrated happily. They discussed about it for a long time. Though his day of departure hadn't reached, they were already rendering advices onto him. Warning about stuff like cultism, and it dangers. His father also warned him about the way he spent money and told him to manage his things well over there. His mom also mentioned the problem of chasing skirts. She warned him about chasing skirts. She told him he should be extremely careful and not let himself to fall prey to seduction. She made him promise to first focus on his studies, and then think about the matters of females after.
Around 12 o'clock, they finally felt tired and sleepy, and then released Emmanuel. Emmanuel once released feigned tiredness and went to his room. But immediately he reached his room, he immediately picked of his phone and unlocked it. As soon as the home screen showed, he wasted no time and clicked the WhatsApp icon.
A new screen popped out, On this screen, there were several columns. This columns each had names imprinted at their top with some also having words beneath the name. The first column had a name imprinted on it, the name was Rebecca. And beside the name, there was currently a sign showing there has been three new message on the chat.
He quickly clicked on it, and read the new messages. " Hey there ", " Are you home yet ", " How did your parent feel when they heard the news ". Once he was done going through them, he started replying just immediately. " Yeah how far ", " Yes I am ", " No interesting reaction as my dad had already checked it before I came in ". Right above their chat, there was a column that had her name imprinted on it, and just right below it, there was a word. The word was * Online *, and this therefore meant that she was online.
As she was online, she immediately saw the reply. She didn't answer immediately as she was currently chatting with someone. She didn't like chatting with two people at once, and as the person she was currently chatting with wasn't that important to her, she just chatted with him for a short while and then told him she was going to bed. She then turned off her active status and then went to Emmanuel's chat box.
Emmanuel who had already dropped his phone and was about to sleep thinking she was busy and so wouldn't be able to reply his chat suddenly heard a " ping " sound on his phone. Emmanuel knowing it was a chat, and knowing who it was immediately rose up into a sitting position and picked up his phone. He unlocked it and tapped the WhatsApp icon again.
The page with the column and just as he expected Rebecca's chat column currently had a sign indicating there was a single new message not viewed. " Awnnn Awnnn Awnnn, he stole your shine ". That was the message he saw. He was about to laugh loudly when he suddenly remembered his parent room weren't that faraway from his and they were suppose to think he was already fast asleep.
" Yeah, he did, I feel like crying " He replied the chat with a smile. After the reply, he thought of dropping the phone. He thought it might take a while before she answered again, and besides he was already feeling sleepy.
