Now Playing Tracks

SOUND OF SILENCE

The week prior to our out-of-town trip, I was bombarded with messages and calls from my cousins regarding the same. It’s been a while since my cellphone had gotten into that busy state, beeping from time to time like a pirated CD gone haywire. I used to have a song for a ring tone, but given the amount of inquiries I’ve been getting then, I’ve thought it wise to shift to a much shorter, much simpler and not-so-scandalous tone —- the famous Nokia one.

That was a week ago. The lines have stopped ringing now. The beeping had dwindled down. All I hear these past few days is the ring of silence. I never thought it had such a sound and I never imagined it could be that defeaning.

Not that I miss my cousins’ pestering. Maybe just that someone’s company who had kept that ringtone music playing on for quite some time.

I’m putting back the old song. I don’t see it playing much often in the coming days, anyway.
