hey there! this is a REAL one.


*******************************************************************************

Love, love, love. Everybody says and feels this word whether in physical, emotional or mental ways. But, what is really this word that makes everybody go crazy? They said, love is like how a girl put a color on a boy’s world. Yet, it is also a pest that can ruin one’s simple and detailed life.

I have a friend who experienced both the definition of love in just a matter of little time. From friendship to Mutual understanding and suddenly love came into the scene. It was like how fairy tales used to be. Wanna know her story? It goes like this…


The girl and the boy where once normal schoolmates back then. Smiling at the pathway without knowing their names, seeing each other inside the perimeter of the campus for barely 3 years, and seeing many faces and meeting acquaintances like normal students. Until one afternoon in their major class, the boy called her “LUVZ” that she didn’t expected him to say. Was he just out of his mind? Was all she just thought. Then another day came, she was shouting LUVZ in front of the varsity team waving at her when she passed by. She was stunned and didn’t know how to react. The next thing after, he happily called her LUVZ in front of his classmates and even everytime they see each other at the hallway. He always addresses her with this word. He was saying it proudly and it made her smile. Since that day on, she get used to it leaving nothing but pure friendship for him. She thought as their junior year end their friendship would end. Unfortunately, destiny found its way.


Summer came and she got her phone. She never even like textmates except her classmates and friends. After some time, an unfamiliar number registered on her screen. She never thought that replying to the unfamiliar number will her gateway to the kingdom of love, a wrong choice she would later regret.


She was dumbfounded when she knew it was the boy from her junior year. Then their friendship developed to something special to the point of saying I LOVE YOUs. Almost everyday they texted each other and even he called and chatted with her from day to night. Isn’t it romantic? She wished to be like this forever with him though she knew  forever is never.


PERFECT is the best word that suits her at that time. As usual like the movies, as a special relationship started to sprung, there are always problems ready to test how much they care and love each other. Perhaps, problems that would determine the capacity of a human being and the realization of the most awaited part – LOVE.


She doesn’t know what is with him that she fell deeply on the sturdy cliff. He is just like the normal boys EXCEPT he has what it takes to make her choosy heart cling for him. He is arrogant and adorable. Sometimes soft, sometimes harsh in a way that would match her weathery mood. He is not that smart either dull, an average as what they call. Above all he is a CERTIFIED PLAYBOY surrounded by girls she doesn’t want herself to count in.


May month came and she felt something was going strange in their relationship. He seems to be far yet so near. It causes her a torment she couldn’t bear. It made her doesn’t care of the books she opt to read and study for a contest. She seeked help from friends to ease her pain. The once strong girl they knew was slowly replaced by a weaker and lonelier face.


Almost a week, he doesn’t communicate with the girl leaving her to worry. Is he mad at me? Is he alright? What did I do wrong? Were the questions banging on her mind.


Unexpectedly, May 25, 3 days before the birthday of the boy’s grandmother who happened to be her grandmother by being her parent’s god parents, he asked her to be with him on this special day. Saying she can’t, he told her he will sit to the bottles of new friends if she wouldn’t show up. Upon hearing this, she was tempted to go but her mother insisted not to. It left her no choice but to stay home and read her stuffs not knowing it is his last text for her that summer.


            Everyday was like HELL for her. Thinking that the boy doesn’t like her anymore. Worrying that he may be sick or what so ever. Praying that he is safe on his trainings. It took him 10 days to let her know he is still breathing. Then suddenly, the spark of love, the spark that they both felt on the moment they first stare at each others eyes was gone.


            Sad but true. It suddenly became a one sided relationship. And the reason behind it? Well, he found the girl’s friend on the same time the girl realized she is in love on the boy playing with the takraw ball.



            It has been almost a year since this story left its footprints. Wanna know who is the girl? It’s ME. It took me a long time to finish this one. It has been this far for me to reveal my story of heartaches. This story could also happen to you although maybe in some other way – de javu!


            I am ready to face my high school memories. Memories that make me smile and cry. Memories that have been a teacher of an unique subject called love.


            If this will happen to you, I hope you can formulate a better solution to solve this dilemma. Good luck!
