Oplan X: Day 3

Miss X was talking animatedly to three of her workmates near her desk. I wanted to see her reaction to the following text: Sge n lts b txtm8s. 6220 dn fon k. D b cmptble tyo? (Sige na let’s be textmates. 6220 din phone ko. Di ba compatible tayo?)

I was watching her from afar when she received the SMS message. She was the one talking when her phone buzzed. She finished her animated story then proceeded to read the message. Then she complained out loud to her companions: “Tingnan mo ‘to! Naka-lima o anim na yata akong text mula dito. Gustong makipag-textmate!” She showed the message to her companions. One of them asked, “Baka naman wrong number.” And Miss X added, “At hindi 6220 ang phone ko, noh!”

They continued to talk about it but at a lower volume, so I couldn’t hear the rest of the conversation. So I moved closer to catch what she’s saying. The last thing I heard her say about the topic was: “Feeling ko kilala ko yung nagte-text,” as she placed her phone inside her bag again.

Meanwhile, one of our co-conspirators sent Miss X an email showing the features and a picture of the Nokia 6220. It was sent yesterday. So far we haven’t heard Miss X talking about it with her workmates.
