Adib    : Hello. Can I speak to Virga, please?

Virga   : Virga speaking. Who’s speaking, please?

Adib    : Hi, Virga. It’s me Adib.

Virga   : Hi, Adib. What’s up?

Adib    : I don’t know what to do. I really don’t.

Virga   : What are you talking about? I really don’t understand.

Adib    : I always think of her but I don’t think she thinks of me that way.

Virga   : Wait a second. Who are you talking about?

Adib    : You know. She’s the one who always smiles to me.

Virga   : Then, what does she do to you so that you’re crazy about her?

Adib    : She does nothing. It’s just me feeling.

In the dialog above, the bold-typed sentences are used to express sadness. Adib expresses his feeling about a girl to his friend, Virga. He sounds very sad because he falls in love with that girl. Unfortunately, that girl doesn’t respond to his love.
