Chapter 2
The Digital Dance
The more they talk, the deeper Sarah falls for Alex's witty words and apparent understanding. They share secrets and dreams, building an intimate bond through text and calls.
Sara
Oh my god honey
Alex:
I see you deleted me
You sure have alot of explanation to do
Sara:
My phone. I lost everything
I told myself you were going to say that.
Alex:
How’s that possible?
Because that’s what it was
It said you deleted me
Right after i asked for the American Express online access
Sara:
I turn my phone off and turned back on. My phone turned pink. I lost everything.
I had to get a cheap phone
Alex:
You’re acting really strange lately
Becoming a little unreliable
Sara:
You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. But it really happened.
Alex:
My heart skipped when that happened
Sara:
You don't think mine did
Alex:
It just a woke me to a very sad reality that i could wake up one day and you’re gone
Sara:
I don't have your phone number
Awww, no honey
I'm sorry 😞
It wasn't my fault honestly
Alex:
That i why we got telegram cos you can never lose me this way. Its the most reliable means of communication right now
Sara:
I had to go through a whole new process of setting it up thank God it picked up Alex
Just imagine if you didn't hear from me for 3 weeks. What would think or feel ?
Alex:
Setting up what? I thought you already got licensed.
I would be scared to death! 3week?! I almost shit in my pants a few hours back
Sara:
No I wasn't talking about the company. I was talking about telegram setting it up.
You did that to me last year. I didn't hear from you for 3 weeks. I cried every night texting you begging you to tell me if you were okay at least. Do you remember that?
Alex:
Oh alright honey
I do honey. I can only imagine how terrible it was for you, after my experience today. It’s bad enough for me already. But losing you ?.. Don’t think i can deal with that
Sara:
Today was not intentionally. I know your was. I always asked myself why ?
I don't want to loose you either. I've have made myself a part of your life.
Alex:
Well that’s in the past now. Let’s not dwell in the past. I have been very consistent with my communication with you despite how frustrating it is to use this phone. We got to stick together to get over this.
Why are you ignoring ?
Honey I wasn't ignoring you. I had to charge this new cheap phone. I don't like it.
Alex:
This is the username right ?
What happened to the old one ?
Sara:
Yes honey
I drop it awhile ago.
Now why do you need the user name and password you've never ask for them in the past
Alex:
That’s all ? I dropped and it stopped working ?
Yes cos this is an online banking. I want to login to know when the fund drops
Sara:
I guess I broke the inside of the phone I was having trouble texting. Then yesterday I noticed the pink line I thought if I shut it off the line would go away but when I went to turn it back on the whole screen turned pink.
If you notice that's only a 250k online savings account.
What funds ?
Alex:
Alright honey. I guess we’re both careless with our phones
Yeah I’m aware
Future funds
I just want to have access to this one honey. I won’t have for the business online access when we get that one
I’m trying to see if I can get money from my attorney to atleast survive before the sale of my property. I’m going through a hard time right now, you have no idea
Sara:
Yes I do
Alex:
A code will be sent to you now, will need you to send it to me. Trying to login now
You don’t know how bad honey
Its embarrassing complaining to you all the time
Sara:
Yes, because I have that pride as well I don't ask for help. I try to do for myself.
Alex:
It’s sad that i want to sell this property of mine. Wish you got the grant, I wouldn’t have to sell it. Would rather give it to you than sell it
This is the darkest phase of my life. It’s really humbling
So what are you looking for
Alex:
Just want to have access for days you’re not online since I’m in constant communication with the attorney, and you’re and i are in different time zone honey
You have nothing to worry about honey. I don’t have a particular reason.
We really need the business account honey
Sara:
Okay honey
Where is this property that your selling
Alex:
Manhattan
Honey please if you can really secure this grant it will mean a lot. Otherwise i will go ahead with the sale
Sara:
I'm trying 😪 with this grant, between Trump and Dems they cannot get it together. I noticed that the shut down is finally over. I'll call her today and see if I can get her on the phone.
What kind of property is it in Manhatten? Is is just land or a house?
Alex:
That would really help a lot if you get the grant. I just don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket that’s why I’m speaking to my attorney regarding the property
It’s a house honey
Sara:
It all depends what side of Manhattan.
Alex:
It’s in upper east side. A very calm and classic environment. It’s one of my least property though
Sara:
Sounds nice, but if it's one of your least if it's not bringing a money crop in then maybe you should sell it.
Alex:
I got plans for it. It’s in a very nice neighborhood. You’d love it if you see it
One of my first properties. It’s dear to me. Only selling it cos I’m in distress
Sara:
I would love too see it
I'm going to try and go to sleep I love you. I hope you can come home soon.
Alex:
Will see if my attorney got some pictures
Alright honey
Sleep good. I love you ❤️
Sara:
Good morning honey
That would be nice
I slept for 5 hours
Alex:
How are you doing my darling wife
Good to know you got some sleep
Did you dream of us ?
Sara:
I've been resting all day.
What did you do today
I always dream about you. I can't wait to have you in my arms beside me. I need security.
Alex:
Nothing much. maintaining the mechanical and electrical of the ship
Can’t wait too honey
What’s your plan for today
Sara:
That's interesting.
Nothing much, I called grant Counselor she said she will send out paper work to update since the government shutdown so I can get approved again
Alex:
More like starting all over ?
You don’t have pt today ?
Sara:
No honey my PT is Monday
Yes honey.
Alex:
You only have pt once every week now?
Hmmm
Sara:
No honey, I was sick so I missed my appointment so I gotta go back to see if I need to continue
It's like starting over I just have to update my information and income.
Alex:
Oh yeah, that’s right
But how’s your recovery so far?
How long does it take to be approved?
Sara:
My arm feels good I just don't try to over use it
6 to 10 weeks
I get nervous when I have to pick up my carpet cleaner.
Alex:
It didn’t take this long when you did it the last time
Good to hear that
Why ?
Sara:
Lol I apologize I thought you were talking about my surgery
It took 2 to 3 weeks on grant
Machine is heavy. Especially if it has water in the tank
Alex:
I see no reason why you have to start all over again when you were already waiting for payment before they closed down
It’s ok
That’s true. Just be careful wait the arm
Sara:
Correct its just updating honey
Alex:
Alright honey
Still nothing on partners yet ?
Sara:
Oh,let me check my email.
Alex:
Alright honey
Let me know
Sara:
I'm calling them right now
Alex:
You got an email?
Sara:
No I did not. I even looked in my spam so I'm on hold
Alex:
Right honey
Sara:
I got it straighten out. They are sending another email with routing number and account number.
I really don't like this bank. To many complications. Cheap banking.
