Purple's Love

Chapter 8

"There is difference between loving someone and being able to live with them" this quote hit me hard when I read it and I suddenly felt that. (After 5 years) me and my boyfriend already live in the same roof after these years. I already finished law school and became a licensed civil lawyer here at Philippines but I felt empty all these years.. (Flashback  November 27, 1997) we were studying peacefully because of the exams then suddenly may tumawag kay gabby na unknown number, 'hello? Gabby', natulala non si gabby nang pag kababa ng phone  halos di siya mapalagay at sinabi lang Niya na mama Niya yun at nasa states Yung parents niya, 'Justin I have to tell you something, ano yun love? Love, my parents did an accident and they are now in ER in a hospital in states, I need to go there ASAP. ok love alam kong mahirap na naaksidente Yung parents mo tommorow I'll book a flight to L.A. thanks love' *sabay yakap*. (The next day) 'love hanggang dito nalang ako, I'll miss you, I'll miss you too hintayin mo ko ahh sige love hintayin kita' * sabay yakap at halik* 'bye love!! Bye!!'..... (Present November 27, 2002) until this day, exactly 5 years hindi pa siya bumabalik and I started to think na baka nakalimutan na Niya ako or may bago na siya or baka Hindi pa magaling Yung parents Niya or baka may pamilya na siya. Iniisip ko kung sa loob ng 4 months kaming nagkasama noon minahal Niya ba ako Kasi when we're still in that school hindi namin naipaalam sa mga classmates ko na naging kami ni Gabby even sa parents Niya and mine. Araw araw ko siyang tine-text kung kumain na siya or kamusta na siya, nakakatulog ba siya ng maayos at nasa oras ba siya pag kumakain? But he didn't bother to reply or even call back to me. I waited 5 consecutive years for him, hindi ako tumingin or lumingon sa iba kasi siya Yung first relationship ko. Even our anniversary I celebrated it alone, di ko nga alam kung Yung araw na sumakay siya nung eroplano eh break na ba kami eh. I just think of him always kung ok lang ba siya or Yung parents Niya. After those years sinabi ko kay Rex na naging kami ni Gabby gulat na gulat siya nung sinabi ko yon after 5 years and medyo nagalit siya kasi hindi ko sinabi but I talk to him sincerely kung ano Yung nararamdaman ko. When he's talking Parang kalmado lang siya na medyo kabado ganon? After a weeks of pahinga dahil medyo naging busy ako Kasi I work on a legal team sa isang sikat na company here in the Philippines dahil Puro lawsuits, tinawagan ko siya I tried and tried again kahit nagri-ring lang Yung phone pero walang sumasagot hanggang sa tumawag ako for the last time hanggang may sumagot yung phone, hi? Hello? Is this Gabby Sanchez? 'No, can I ask why are your looking for him? Oh can you call him, I can't because his working at his office so don't worry I will tell him ahh what's you're name? Are you his friend? Ahh no I'm his boyfriend and I'm Justin Abalo--' biglang binaba Niya Yung phone di ko alam kung bakit babae Yung sumagot so naisip ko na baka may asawa na siya but I still think na assistant lang Niya yun kaya babae until I decided to follow him and go to america.
