My story goes this way, We started out as friends as most of us did. He was an average so as I was back then, we we're highschool classmates, very close to each other, tease each other most of the time just like other bestfriends do. He was like my "Grandpa" and I don't know for what reason but that was what I labeled him in my life then. Until he went for a summer vacation in Singapore where his dad works. I have said my "goodbyes" and "see you when I see you" speech. When he left, I just found out that my dancemate has a crush on him so like other friends do, I teased them on each other but he's not just that into her. Like bestfriends do, We texted each other and I was like worried and started to ask him if, "how was the flight?" " to where are you heading now?" "are you safe?" "how's Francis? (his younger brother)" "have you already ate?" then and there when we exchanged messages, I felt like, "Oh my gosh! what's happening" but then of course, I didn't gave any malice first because everything matters for us both. Days passed, we still exchanged messages, he would call me sometimes, we also chatted but this time, we missed each other badly for the reason that we could not catch up with each other because of our schedule, He was busy catching up with his family and bonding with them while I was also busy with my dance rehersals. I was in a love-bubble when he started calling me "gang" and I was like, "probably because I was his apo". I don't know what he was feeling because we were away so I could not fanthom if he was faking it or whatsoever. There was a time when we have chatted until dawn he asked me if I am sleepy or something so I replied, "Naah, i'm still good here" and we exchanged "I miss you" thing again and again then He messaged me that his mom saw our conversation then I asked, "what did she said?" "Let your girlfriend sleep, son. I bet she's really tired from his practice and what time is it?" he replied. We were like, laughing for what her mom said then we decided to go to sleep instead. Another week passed, We have not chatted or anything he just message me that he was coming home in a week, so I was like "finally, I will see him again" While I was still in my practice, I got a message from him "Hey,i'll be waiting for you here outside. I miss you and i'm excited to see you" After reading his message I was very very inspired and after rehersal, I headed to where he was, then and there he told me that "I want you to be my girl since I left town, I imagined and realized how my life would be without you. how was it when you're not around, I waited for exactly 1month and 2weeks before I ask you if I could court you because I wanted it to be formal and for you to see how sincere I am towards you". I was very shocked instead of saying anything, I just hugged him very tight and whispered, "of course" We started going to the church every Sunday he fetches me early in the morning to celebrate the mass with his younger brother, giving thanks and praise to the Lord that he bounded our ways and provided us great things in life after attending mass, we always head back straight to my house, every sunday, he has also a session with my younger brother they would play psp, watch movie, he proctects my brother like how he was protecting me. Good thing about our relationship is that, his family and mine is open in each other. His courtship lasted for 2months, and so our story. Tradgic and not a long-term relationship but this courtship experience was the best of all my courtship experience of all.Sadly but we have to partways, atleast we had taught each other a great lesson, learned and grown out of it.
