Love of my life

1. First Sight of her

I was sitting on a bench thinking of how my life went from happiness to sadness. We have been together for 12 long years.  I love her so much that I did all my best to make our relationship last but guess this is it.

"Geez...  It's been months already and I still can't get her off my mind. I need to move on...". I can still feel tears rolling down my face. I wiped those tears before I decided to stand and go.

As I was about to get my things to go to my room, I looked at the parking side of the hospital. A figure wearing white blazer and black slacks suddenly caught my sight. She had long black hair, slim built and so sweet looking eyes. She had her shoulder bag on her left shoulder and carrying folders. Maybe she had loads of paper work and  plan to do them at home.

"What's happening to me? Why is my heart beating so fast as this doctor is going in my direction."

She was about to pass me when she looked at me. She gave a little nod and off she went.  I looked at the direction she was going. Her white Toyota
Fortuner is only 3 cars away from where I stand. She got her car keys in her pocket when the folders she was holding fell. I rushed to her and helped her pick those folders one by one. When I was about to hand her the last folder, our eyes met.  

"What beautiful eyes... My weakness are those long curly eyelashes"

"Thank you so much for the help!"...  Ahhh... What's your name if you don't mind my asking?

"Ohhh... Just call me... Regie!"

"Thank you Regie for the help."

She opened the passenger side door of her car and placed all the folders and her bag inside and closed the door. She then opened the driver side door of her car when she suddenly stopped and looked at me.

"Are you going somewhere?  I can drop you off."

"No... it's okay.  I'm better at walking."

She was about to get inside when she got my attention again.  By the way do you mind if I ask you something personal.

"No... Not at all!"

"I noticed that your eyes are reddish... Are those eye irritations or you just cried?"

"Huh?" [ Is it really the way it looked?]

"That's nothing... I'm okay.

"Are you sure?" she said in a low voice..."if you need someone to talk to, I'm just here... Handing me her calling card.

"Thank you... Dr... (Camille Young)"

"Just call me Camille!" She sat on the driver's seat and started the engine. she waved her hand and bid goodbye.

"Bye-bye."

I started to walk to the bus terminal and waited. After some time, my bus arrived and stepped on. I chose the first seat behind the driver, paid my fare and then started looking outside.

I then remembered the calling card that Camille gave me. I read the details. She is a psychologist and lives in a condominium not far from where I am staying.  I realized I can't get her out of my mind. 

"Is she the one?" I never felt this way in months after my break-up with Dana. Why all of a sudden, I felt something different?"

I arrived home and as soon as I opened the door, Mama looked at me and hugged me.

"I hope all your day is okay.  I'm so worried about you, my love."

" You cried again!" I can see it in your eyes.  Forget Dana... sweetheart.
There are a lot of women out there.  I know in time you will meet her."

"That's Mama. She is the only one who knows how broken-hearted I've been since Dana went to join her boyfriend in Australia. 

"Come... sweetheart.  Mama cooked your favorite meal for dinner."

I laid my bag on the couch while Mama and I went to the dining area. I sat on the right side of the table while Mama got the favorite spicy shrimps
She cooked for me. She sat on the chair and scooped rice and placed it on my plate.  We prayed before we started to eat. After eating, Mama Said...

"How's your day... Sweetie?'

"It's okay, Mama. after class I just went straight home."

"Why don't you go out with your friends?   Enjoy and give yourself a break!" You deserve to be happy... sweetheart."

"I will Mama but not today...maybe some other time."

"Just be sure to do things that will make you happy.   I will support you. I love you sweetheart."

"Thanks Ma... I love you too."

"Okay... Go to your room and take a rest.  I will do the dishes first and will be off to my tv series before I jump to bed.

"Good night ...Mama. see you in the morning." I kissed her on the cheek, and I started to go upstairs.

"Goodnight sweetheart... She kissed me back.

"I opened my room and placed my things on my study table.  I then went to my dresser and picked on my pajamas.  I went to the bathroom and started to take a shower, brush my teeth and then after I cleaned my face. I put on my night cream and then lay down to sleep.
