immortalized

She was speechless. Again, she scrolled the text message on her mobile. Her eyes read went through the message, this time slowly. She took a deep breath. It felt so touching! Never had anyone told her that. She knew in her heart, that this was one of those messages that she would not forget her whole life.

She was torn. One part of her had really wanted to leave the message there. Yet, she knew, it all hell would break loose if she did. It was one of those messages that could not be kept at all, not even when held ransom. She let out a cry of frustration! Why, oh why, must she be tortured like this? She screamed her heart out, her crumpled, pale-white face the only betrayer of the emotions she was feeling.

Slowly, as her face muscle relaxed, she took a deep breath. Exhaling, a thought came to her. Brilliant! She smiled and wasted no time. Her pudgy fingers quickly started working on keyboard of her pc, her mind focused on her great plan. Within a few clicks, she navigated herself to where she wanted. The blank space on the page of window on screen, finally appeared.

She quickly took her mobile and once again, displayed the message. She re-read it, this time, taking in a few words at a time. Once she had mouthed about 5 words, she put down her trusty mobile by the side of her pc. Her fingers started typing at once. In less than 10 seconds, she had the five words down. Once again, she took mobile, this time taking in another about 5-8 words of the same message. Again, she repeated to transcribe the message to her pc. In less than 2 minutes, it was done. She had managed not only to transcribe her message, but also the message's details. It was an thing to her, to remind her, when it came.

She re-read the message on her pc's screen. She was not taking any chances, and took her mobile. Again, she read the sender's message, once in the while looking at the screen to compare if she had made any mistakes of any kind. This must be perfectly recorded. Satisfied, she deleted the message in her mobile, albeit with a heavy heart. It was necessary, though, and she understood that completely.

Quickly then, she clicked at the 'save now' button. Now, the message would forever be immortalized in her life. Her virtual life. She let go a deep breath and started dreaming.
