One day , after the school exam , the girl called the boyfriend.
"Baby , I got off early today , are you free to pick me home now?"
"Sure baby , give me 5 minutes."
It was 2 in the afternoon, the sun was raging hot .. 5 minutes gone .. she looked at the watch .. 10 minutes gone .. he did not show up yet .. she started worry ..
After 15 minutes , he finally came and she asked, “what took you so long?” He took it frivolously and answered “Well , I was watching TV..” the girlfriend was quite angry. He knew and he said "I’m sorry.” He is a self importance and high egotism guy. He never said sorry to anyone. It was the first apology he made to the girlfriend. She looked at him and she forgave him. He is the type of person that never explain, never argue, he never had a fight with his girlfriend. As long as he said sorry to the girlfriend, she would actually forgive him. He would only apologize to his girlfriend, the one and only one.
She blamed him for not changing his attitude and never changed or improved even though he admitted his faults. She was upset, she thinks that the boyfriend was using the apologies for sheltering himself. After 59 times of apologies, she finally dropped her tears and told him "Please stop telling me that you’re sorry if you’re not intended to change. Please stop making me to believe that you would actually change.” He was guilty, he hugged her tight and said “I’m sorry” for the 60th times.
After a period, the girlfriend started to distrust him..
"What happened to you lately?" the girl asked in the phone.
"Nothing happened"
"Then why you behaved like this?"
"I said nothing happened"
"Do you know that i’m feeling very insecure and I’m so worried about you.. do you really care about me?" the girlfriend started crying..
The boyfriend silent for seconds and told “I’m sorry..”
"I don’t want to hear sorry anymore" she hanged up
He never called back, the girl thinks he doesn’t care about her. That was his 99th sorry..
They both never contacted ever since that day. Sometimes she received some silent calls. She knew it was him..
After a month, as she was passing by his office she decided to look for him. The office colleagues told her that he has quit the job one month ago. The girl called his mobile but only left with the voicemail. She started worried bout him. She called the house phone, but no one ever picked up. She dropped by to his house, but no one was there. She assumed that he has shifted somewhere else to work, or maybe family trip or perhaps, he has a new girlfriend and moved to somewhere else.
While she is thinking all the possibilities, her cellphone phone ranged.. it was from the boyfriend’s mother.
"He has been admitted to the hospital"
"But....but ....how?" the girl was shocked
"Even though he asked me not to tell you, but come and meet him......... please.."
She took a cab to the hospital, she was panicked and she has no clue about what happening. She ran to his room, she saw him laying down without much movements. The boyfriend was making an eye-contact and look at her.
She started asking him, “What is happening? Why didn't you call me?”
He didn’t answer, he just stares at her.
"Answer me, why are you not talking?"
He dropped a tear from his eye, he used his last body strength to say “I’m sorry”. He closed his eyes thereafter.
"Please don’t pretend. Why sorry? I don’t want you to say sorry. Please ... wake up , answer me." She cried next to him, pulling his shirt. "Why are you saying sorry? Give me a reason, I’m not gonna forgive you, please wake up, I beg you.. wake up..I want to hear from you, please..”
This is his 100th sorry.
The nurses and doctor pulled her away for rescue. She was totally blanked.. He never left her, just that she not able to touch him. Sometimes she dreams of him telling her how he has been doing. He is always with her, in her mind, in her heart, she is still thinking that he is calling her "baby" most of the times.. Just that, she not going to hear anymore “Sorry” from him.
A few months later, the boyfriend’s mother gave her a box. There are 100 pieces of photographs inside the box. At the back of each photo marked the word “sorry” with a story that happened to both of them.
1st sorry – Baby, I didn’t mean to be late today. I know this is lame reason on watching TV, but I got a heartache before I tried to come for you. I couldn't move, I tried my best, forgive me please.
2nd sorry – Baby, I..
3rd sorry – Baby, I..
100th sorry – Baby, I didn’t mean to leave you behind. Just that God did not give me a chance to take care of you, to put the ring on your finger. You are the first girl that I've ever said sorry, an you are also the person I would like to spend my life with. Forgive me as I couldn’t bring you the happiness, I’ll be your angel, I’ll bless you always. Don’t cry, I don’t wish to see you cry, I love you.
He took the last photo in hospital, he was pale and skinny. He gave his best smile, and he took the 100th photo. She hugged the photos and cried in pain ....
