"The flame never dies because the commitment never ends”
Like all love stories,
everything starts when you two met each other, at first you are stranger of
course which also happens in a movie and pocketbooks, and so this is how our
story goes. I am going to narrate to you the beginning of the journey of my
love story.Second Year College that’s when everything started. I’m a transferee
student from Odiongan. I am a BSIT student there and finished 1st and 2nd semester and
sad to say I haven’t meet there the man that I really wanted maybe because I am
so focused with my studies and haven’t got the time to get to know many
male species and also my routine was home, school, market, eating, sleeping,
studying, watching TV and washing the dishes and sometimes it came to a point
wherein I became depressed because of many different reasons like homesickness,
lower grades and life-changing decisions and I’m not that happy, But I have
lots of friends there and meet many people which sometimes makes my
homesickness go away. But my head is not stopping of thinking many things
especially my future. I can’t read my future in Odiongan and so with a lot of
contemplating a decision came to my mind, I called my mother about this and
told her that I wanted to study in Cajidiocan and be an Education student, and
from then on I never felt so jovial and I don’t why and it’s so Funny how the smallest little decisions and
changes of course can alter the entire plot of your life.
I am so anxious during the first semester in my Second Year. I am so ecstatic
to see my classmates in high school and also the unfamiliar faces coming from
other towns and Barangays. First semester, I really had a great time adjusting,
especially with my co-major (English Major). I didn’t know that in these school
many things could happen, like I began to love studying again, My
self-development is beginning to grow, my confidence about myself also begins
to evolve. Then I’ve also began to get closer with my male classmate.
Second Semester, he showed up, an Octoberian student, at first, I
didn’t noticed him at all, I glanced at him but the familiarity didn't sink in, not until a few days later, he was also a graduate in CNHS (the High School where I graduated). He was
brawny and white that time. A
few weeks later, he texted me, (he got my number through my classmate). Then a week passed
and we were constant text mates then he confided to me that he has a feeling
for me.
November
came, my debut, the month where I became an adult, but still not that mature J,
My escort is one my classmate (only a friend), not him because we still don’t
know each other that much but he was one of the 18th roses. Sometimes
I have these feelings of mine, wherein I can feel whether he would be good to
me or not for I also asked God to guide to pick the right person, and I felt it
to him. I usually don’t go for the looks, he may be handsome or not but the
thing that would make me fall in love to a person is his attitudes, personality
and character. I want a man who would truly express his love for me, a man who
would gather the courage to talk to my parents or my family, a man who
would always be there for me in times of hardships and problems, happiness and
celebration. A man who would always make me feel beautiful even though I
haven’t put any make up on, eyeliner or I gained some weight, a man who would
be honest, sincere and doesn’t cheat with me and most importantly a man that
has a strong faith especially to God. And I guess I’ve particularly saw this to
him.
December, I still remember, it was December 7, 2013. We became committed
legally, I said a big “YES” to him in person yet I still don’t have an idea how
relationship works, I mean I am NBSB that time, while he had two exes but he
told me that they are the one who cheated on him. Four months to us was
getting to know each other better, about our likes and dislikes, our strength
and weaknesses etc. I enjoyed his company very much, he would give me roses
from his neighbor’s backyard, we talked for hours at the rooftop and he would
sing to me with guitar even though he’s not that quite good (but he is very
good in guitar) which was cute because he still tries just to make me feel
especial, then he’s not afraid of my parents and he taught me many
important lessons for he came from a family with full of hardships and also he
is very experienced when it comes to diffiulties which for me was a strong
character for a man like him. He makes me complete. Also one of the things that
I liked about him is his sincerity, honesty and by far the
bravest person I have ever met.
The first four months was amazing, he introduced me to a whole new dimension,
he basically me gives the idea of what relationship is, but of course, there
were also some misunderstanding, ambiguity, jealousy and conflict which I guess
is just normal in a relationship especially for beginners, for these minor or
major setbacks are also important to make the bond of the relationship become
stickier and more strong than ever before, that is why constant communication
is very important for both sides to enlighten or minimize the issue.
When we became more familiar
with ourselves particularly about the things that we likes and dislikes we
became closer than ever, we recognize also our strength and weaknesses, like
he’s and Adventist and I’m Catholic, I’m not good in math and he is awesome in
it, while he don’t like English but I love English, and he would always gives
me puzzles tricks that he knows while I give him trivia’s and facts, which is
why communication to us is not that dull, we would always have these topics
about things.
He taught me how to be
sweet and caring because I haven’t experienced relationship before and for me
sweetness is so corny. And I don’t like those silly yet sweet things (but I’m
sweet in some ways, just a different kind of sweet) I’m more of enigmatic yet
innovative one. And sometimes I prefer unexpected things than those
ordinary things that couple’s do. And in return I taught him about my world,
computers and movies, and how I live which is why he understands my ways and
the things which made me who I am today. For two years being together, we
have come across many things, things that hard to explain, and in those years
are the times that taught us lesson in order to be a better person. And I don’t
regret having a relationship started in college because we have maintained this
relationship and never did anything stupid. We studied hard and in a matter of
month we will graduate which for me is going to be the finest moment of my
life. I am truly gratified and blessed because I have him by my side during my
journey and never let me down.
In present time, we look forward
to that after graduation is to find a suitable job for us to become stable and
who knows, travel the world together (that is our dream). Our love story may be
usual to others but for us, it has been a unique and extraordinary one.
I am forward looking for another years to come.
So this is my story for now and
saying, “Happily ever after is not a fairytale. It’s a choice.” Thanks
for reading our love story and I hope you gained something from it.
