An intimate Valentine's Day text message nearly caused a Malaysian couple to split when it went to a wrong mobile phone, a newspaper reported on Sunday.
A 27-year-old man and his wife of two months were in a park in Seremban, off Kuala Lumpur, when his phone beeped just after midnight, The Sunday Star said.
He asked her to retrieve the message, which read: "Darling, I really miss you, always thinking of you even when you are not here tonight beside me in the bed, I am waiting, lots of kisses and hugs - Jane."
The wife accused the man of infidelity and left for her parents' home. She refused to take his calls and his father-in-law later told him she would be filing for a divorce. It took 12 frantic hours before the sender of the message was traced. She called the wife with an explanation, and the couple made up with a hug in front of their families. - Reuters
