title: they conspired a dido somewhere near Christmas;

time:6:12:00 AM Hello?
A familiar voice greets me at the end of the receiver.A voice which clearly points out to a dear friend.Her tone of voice oozes out a tinge of nervousness.
Slowly,she began to deliver the news.Her statement was direct enough to cause a disturbance in my temper.
I recalled her saying that a darling friend has been admitted to the hospital.No doubt i was taken aback by the news,i could still manage a composed tone.
Unsuspecting, i trusted even word that she said.
I dialed up my darling friend asking him about his condition and when he said that it was a suicide attempt,all that i could thing of was God.His nonchalant tone and attitude did ring some paranoia bells that all this might be a prank but because of trust,i chucked away all possible paranoia.A dozen of emotions clouded my mind making me numb to my surroundings.I didn't even know the appropriate emotion to suit the present situation.A state where my body,mind and soul don't function in unison any longer;chaos.
By formal logic,you should have guessed the necessity to pay my darling friend a visit.So,there was i,the clueless soul,making plans with the dear friend to visit the pained darling friend.It must have been Lady Luck on my side that it started pouring heavily.The rain delayed the possible trip to the hospital.Soon after, a call came in.It was from my dear friend saying that the visit should be postponed to another day due to the rain.She soon added that i should phone my darling friend since he wanted me to do so.Like a child obeying his/her parents, i unquestionably called the "pained" companion.
Strangely,although still trembling over the whole scenario of suicide attempt, hospitalization and so on, i managed to chatter calmly with my darling friend.That was, until, i heard that familiar voice once again.The dear friend.
Credits to technological advances, telephone conferences are made available conveniently with our cell phone.Paranoia sets in again but recalling what i'hv just learned a few days ago about making assumptions,i dismissed the same thought that this might,afterall, be a prank.They didn't give away their little prank easily but in the end,every beginning must have its ending.They confessed to their gag and yes, they got me entirely.It was a though i jumped straight into shark invested waters.
Okay, this is a clear reminder of how naive i can be.A side effect i must tolerate in trying to be an optimist.
My emotions after knowing the truth? Bewildered.Partly because they were so convincing as a team and also, they caught me totally off guard.The principles of logic slipped out of my mind entirely.That's what happen when u're relaxing yourself by watching tv right after a hot bath.U're not sharp enough in observing the minor details around you.
Anyway,my dear friend, you should consider giving it a go at acting.U'hv got the talent.Your tone of voice was super convincing.
Allow me to say that the both of you are very creative in coming up with this gag within a short period of time.The dialogues and everything.
And yes,my darling friend, i know u're dying to hear me say this: WAKENABEB! or should i put it as I-KENA-BEB!
Love, vinTage dreams
