CAPTURED UNWILLINGLY BY HEART Season 1

Chapter 73

Zen's POV

Napatitig naman ako kay Carlo dahil hindi pa din ako makapaniwala sa mga nalaman ko. Nakangiti naman siya sa akin nang mapayapa habang hinahangin ang buhok niya. Hindi ko naman magawang makapagsalita dahil hindi ko inaasahan o inaakala man lang na nakilala ko na pala ang taong 'yun. At lalong higit sa lahat ay malapit lang pala sa akin.

Simula kasi nung nakilala ko 'yung batang 'yun ay nagdulot sa akin 'yun ng malaking pagbabago. At malaking pasasalamat ko na isa siya sa mga taong tumulong at nagpagaan ng loob ko noong mga panahong lugmok ako sa sarili ko. Ngunit makalipas lang din ang ilang araw na magtagpo kami dito ay ayon na ang huling pagkikita namin. Wala na akong nabalitaan at hindi ko na siya nakita pang muli. Ngunit gayunpaman ay hindi siya nawala sa isip ko dahil siya ang kauna-unahang tao tinuring akong kaibigan sa panahong wala akong malapitan.

Pero sinong mag-aakala na si Carlo pala 'yun? Si Carlo na nandiyan lang pala at hindi ko naisip man lang na siya 'yun kahit na marami silang pagkakapareho noon pa.

It's amazing how you can meet someone and know immediately within few minutes of talking to them, that they're going to play a major role in your life. It's amazing how easier it is to tell all your problems to someone you haven't known before.

It's funny that sometimes you can trust a stranger better than the people who know you your whole life.

In world where there are so many people, it's possible that you can meet that one person who's going to make a difference in your story, at a certain place and at a certain time. It's possible to feel a connection with someone you have no idea about.

Not only did you save me from the demons in my head, but you also changed the way I think. You showed me that there's a beauty in uncertainty. You made me believe in destiny.

You brought back my faith in life. You inspired me to hope again. You gave me reasons to fight. You came into my life exactly when I needed someone like you.

I still believe that there was a purpose why the world put us together in one place. There was something in that moment that I had to learn, something that I needed to bring home with me, something that would pull me out of my misery.

That night, I started to believe in the power of destiny. I started to believe in something that I couldn't see. I started to believe in this feeling that I could only explain as magic.

I could convince myself that our unexpected encounter was nothing special. Everything in that moment was ordinary. We were just two strangers. But then I couldn't give myself a valid explanation about how we turned out to be more than just friends.

But maybe we were really meant to meet each other at that time.

Maybe the reason why the world brought you into my life was because it knew you were the only one who could save me during those times. Maybe you became part of my life for all the right reasons.

Maybe you came into my life so I could finally feel what it was like to fall in love. And I'm so glad that you did.

He's the one person I've been waiting for; someone who will not only fill the emptiness, but also make it worthwhile. We haven't been lovers yet, but we've always been great friends. We will always be able to communicate with one another, and we will always be aware that we are linked.
