That lonely call

Not long after my break up with my last boyfriend, I felt dejected and loneliness became a thing. I spent a whole lot of time on the chats meeting new people and worked extra during weekdays just to keep myself really occupied but on a Sunday I made a real mistake. I called on a radio station that I needed a friend.

What happened exactly was I got home really early and after my meal, the lonely feeling came in and I just didn’t have anyone to talk to. Sent messages to my friends on whatsapp and BBM but they just didn’t seem to be available. Called my close pals, needed to talk with them. Share my mind. Just let someone listen to me. Either it was network or they just weren’t picking their calls so I turned on the radio.

Keeping the station out of this post so that those that called don't know I am the writer. I placed a call on the station and told the anchors I was bored and I needed a friend. It’s something I won’t even attempt again in my next life. Just a friend I said; didn’t bargain for a thousand.

Come see text messages and calls oooo. There was a time my phone didn’t have a minute of rest. I tried reading some of the SMS and you know the kind of things guys will be saying. Some bluntly even without knowing me said I’m sexually starved, others were using the gentleman persuasion of wooing a woman but I know these guys, they only want something- some show their badass, others come gentle but outcome is the same.

Well, that number is dormant right now, the phone itself blew. Just imagine 700 missed calls (and you know some won’t even go because of the traffic) and 678 messages. I didn’t know that that large number of people listen attentively to a particular station. Moreover, I never seem to correctly pick the numbers whenever they were read out. That’s one crazy thing I did all because of a few minutes of loneliness.
