I just want to share our love story to all of you though I know that our story doesn't have any kilig factor but still it's our own love story. :) and I thank God for giving me a person who will love me for who I am and accepting me in spite of my imperfections. I'm trully blessed because now I know I met my one true love.
Here is our story:
Christian and I were schoolmates when we were in highschool. I knew him just in his face but don't know his name. It never cross in my mind that somehow he will be a part of my life. Years have passed he had a girlfriend and I had a boyfriend. We've been in a long relationship before we met. And we both thought that they were the one for us. But I know God has his own reason why we ended up to nothing.
When I was in college (2001), I and my best friend were going to school, that time I went on their house because we have long vacant hours. Her house is just near on Christian's house. When we were walking and past on his house, she said, that is Bayie's (his nickname) house and I said who's that? She said he was our schoolmate when we were in highschool and I said.. aahh okay.. sa loob loob ko.. paki ko nman kung schoolmate natin un.. e dko nman sya kilala.. in short.. d ako interasado.. hahaha...When I went to their house again and that time we saw him and his girlfriend and my best friend said.. that was Bayie and his girl friend and I said.. ahhhh.. okay.. kilala ko sya sa mukha.. That's all.. I never thought of knowing him and be my friend and more than a friend.. :)
Years had passed and we both graduated in college. I graduated in college on 2005 and he was on 2007. I'm 1 year older than him.. (maaga kasi ko pumasok..kaya 2 years ahead ako sa schooling ^___^).. I had my first job on September 2005, and Christian, after he graduated he worked on his father's business. After 1 year he applied on the same company wherein I'm working. (my second job).
April 2008, I attended our SPC meeting. There were group of new employees also attended the meeting. This is a requirement to all the team to attend the SPC meeting every week. When I entered in a room, I saw this guy's face and I said.. "kilala ko 'tong lalaking to eh.. schoolmate ko nung highschool.. mmmm.. naku ano nga ba pangalan nito?" The whole meeting all I think of was his name. My stupid memory I really forgot his name. When the meeting adjourned and I headed home I'm still thinking of his name and at last I already remembered. He is Bayie! That was the first time I saw him again after so many years. And I'm a bit happy to know that he is part of my team and same shift with mine.. (Hindi ko alam bakit ako masaya to know na ka team ko sya..eh muka namang suplado.. feeling ko mahirap siya maging kaibigan. D man lang ata marunong ngumiti ang taong yun)..
During our shift and it's time to eat, me and my friends always passed by in his area and asked him to eat. And he would always said na susunod sya.. He became our barkada and always eats with us. One time when we had our outing (before kasi mahilig mag outing ang barkada) I get drunk and cried. Because I can still remeber my ex. Cried and cried until I fell asleep. When I woke up I saw Christian in our room and talking to my other friends and telling his story about him and his girlfriend that they already broke up.. (tingnan mo nga nman.. nagbreak na din pala sila.... :P).. I did not heard what he said because I'm still sleeping that time and when I woke up he already told the story.. (sayang dko nadinig.. may pagka chismosa pa nman ako.. :).. ) Days had passed and same routine goes along. eat eat eat.. together with our friends..
Last week of August 2008, it was almost 8pm.. I received a text message from Christian and said:
Instan: san ka? beanstalk tayo sabi ni Pearl.
Monz: Naku lapit nako house eh.. D nako pede bumalik.. Dna ko papayagan.. Gabi na eh..
Instan: Hina ko nman sayo..
Monz: Sorry ha.. Next time nalang. Set nalang ung date in advance para pede ko..
And because d ako pumayag, dna sila tumuloy. What he did that night was he asked one of our friends to go to a gasoline station and have some drink. That time he was still sad because of the break up. Late at night at around 10pm I received another txt message from him and told me if I'm still awake and I said yes.
Instan: Dito ko caltex, inom lang kasama si bubbles. (our gay friend)
(hindi ko alam bakit kelangan nia pa magpaalam sakin.. eh hindi ko nman sya jowa.. pero dko naman un binigyan ng malisya.. I know wala lang un)
Monz: Ok cge.. Wag iinom ng marami.. (parang jowa.. concern din nman)
Intsan: okay. thanks.
The exchanging of text messages stopped and I almost about to sleep when I received another text message from him. I can't remember what our text messages all about but that was the start when we became close to each other..
Everyday we are exchanging text messages with each other talking about our past. My sadness and pain same with him. Once I asked him why are you telling all those to me? and he said because we were on the same situation and I know you can understand me.. Nabibigyan mo ko ng advice at nabibigyan din kita ng advice..
The postponed dinner with our friend was set. It was September 5, 2008; actually my friend Pearl is closer to Christian rather than me. I was kindda quiet during our dinner, coz I'm a bit shy with him.. After the dinner I told him that I was already at home and exchanging of text messages again before we go to sleep.
Weeks had passed and we had our dinner date without knowing of our friends because we know that they will tease us. All of them were asking if kami na ba.. I just always telling them na friends lang kami.. (kahit tunog showbiz pero un nman tlaga ang totoo..) Even our friends also ask him if kami na ba.. syempre sagot nia indi rin.. dba.. kasi indi nman tlga..
Everyday, I'm always waiting for his text, showing how he cares for me, his sweet messages and his jokes.. I'm happy to know that there was this guy who appreaciated me for who I am. I'm always telling to myself that I don't like him. He was just a friend to me. I don't want to ruin our friendship. And same thing with him he doesn't like to ruin our friendship and he also said that he doesn't want his friend to fall in love with him.. If it happens he will never talk to that person anymore. I said why? He said.. naiilang daw sya malaman na ung babae pa nagkakagusto sa kanya.. (ang taray.. gwapo..)
I send him a text message and told him about our situation and I said that I think we should only be friends because I don't want to ruin the friendship we started and he said me an email and said.. "diba ayaw nating magsalita ng tapos pero dahil sabi mo nga na away mo masira ang friendship naten ibig sabihin lang nun na kahit ma-inlove ako sayo eh hindi nlang ako matatapat.. baka nga ikaw pa ang magtapat pag nagkataon.. hehehe".. When I read that my heart beats so fast and I cried. Mhal ko na pala sya noon pa.. I'm just to scared to show it dahil sa friendship.. And because of what he said.. I'm too scared that he will leave me.
And because I cannot hide my feelings to him anymore.. susugal na ako.. bahala na sabi ko.. So I texted him.
Monz: dba sabi mo pag nalaman mo na inlove sayo ang kaibigan mo e ayaw mo na sya maging kaibigan pa? Pano kung sabihin ko sayong mahal pla kita? Lalayuan mo ba ako?
(tagal magreply.. iniisip pa ata ang sasabihin.. kabog siguro dibdib nun.. actually kabog din naman ang dibdib ko dahil sa pag amin kung iyon)
Intsan: syempre hindi.
I'm so much happy.. kasi love nia din pala ko.. kilig.. ^_______^..
By that time even if he has his feelings for me, he doesn't want to go to another relationship, he wanted to be sure that what he feels for me is for real.. He doesn't want to go to another relationship that will end up to nothing. He once send me a lyrics of a song entitled "Para lang sayo".. though may pagka korni dahil tagalog but the meaning is really meant for us..
2009 and we already have our communal understanding, saying Iloveyou and take care, the typical saying of a boyfriend and girlfriend. I'm a girl who always wanted to give a surprise note to him saying.. i miss you.. ingat kaw mahal.. ilove you and always sending him an email telling good morning mhal.. ilove you so much..
There was really no courtship between us, (actually wala na tlagang courtship dahil umamin na nga ko dba)we just felt that we love each other and we can't only be friends. The understanding that we love each other was in there. And now we are on our 18th month. Still in love and will be inlove forever.
Maybe it was God's will for us to meet again after a long time. And now we are planning to get married. Talking about some wedding details. Exact year and date? We are not yet talking about it.
*** March 2008, me and my friend had our novena in Quiapo. Asking for help. For me to promote on my job and to have a reconciliation with my ex or if not send a guy who will love me for the rest of my life. Now I realized that Christian was the ONE sent for me and I'm already promoted on my job. Two things that I really prayed to God and it was already granted and I'm so much happy now.. :)
