HE LOVES ME. HE LOVES ME NOT.
Nakaupo ako sa harap ni Chris dala ang isang maliit na kulay pula na rose. I showed him the flower and he smiled at me with his eyes puzzled.
“Where did you get that rose?" Tanong niya sa kin.
I shrugged, “I found it somewhere." pausing, “I'm going to pluck each petals habang nagsasabi ng 'you love me, you love me not'. At kung ano yung huling phrase. Yun ang sagot if mahal mo ba ako o hindi."
He looked at me weirdly and he shrugged, “Silly. "
I plucked the petal and began chanting, “You love me...you love me not...you love me...you love me not...you love me..."
Isa-isa kong kinuha ang petals. And one by one, everytime I say 'you love me not', susulyap siya sa kin.
“You love me not..." napatigil ako.
My breathing hitched.
The last petal says it so.
I frowned and looked up at Chris. He rolled his eyes and smiled, that boxy smile.
“You don't love me..." I murmured.
He scoffed, “Do you really believe what that last petal just said?"
I frowned as if nakasalalay ang buhay ko sa lungkot na pinapakita.
How unfortunate nga naman.
“Baby..." he closed his book and smiled at me, “Love should never be based on things and what others say to you. It should be based by your commitment and feelings."
Kumunot ang noo ko.
“Kung ibabase mo ang nararamdaman mo sa sinasabi mo sa paligid, maaaring hindi ka magiging masaya or you will never be contented. You will never appreciate the efforts your partner exerted if palagi kang nakikinig sa mga ideal na bagay. Sometimes, all it takes is to let that person love you privately."
Awe.
I know his words are superior. But oh my.
Its true.
Don't let someone tell you that you don't love the person you love. Huwag kang magpadala sa sinabi ng mga barkada mo, o ng kahit sino na kailangan mong iwan ang taong mahal mo dahil ganyan, ganito.
You must love in your own unpredictable way.
I hope this helps.🧡
