lostmortals's Character Interview

The Wattpad Filipino Block Party 2021

What is love?

NAPABALIKWAS ako mula sa'king kama nang makarinig ng isang notification. It's been a while since it rang, so I got really excited— especially when I know that there's a new job coming for me.

Nawala lang ang excitement ko nang mabasa ang tema ng kailangan kong isulat na article. Love. A note was written too. "Make sure you convince the readers to fall in love." Huh? I don't know anything about it! Zero experience and zero interest! Paano ako magsusulat nito?

Once again, I read the email of my employer and saw below that. . . I COULD INTERVIEW PEOPLE! Nice! Instead of writing about love, I'll do this! Hm, sino kaya ang magandang interview-hin about dito? Napangisi ako habang pumupunta sa messages inbox ko at kaagad na nasilip ang conversation namin ni Xynthea. I started typing, hoping that she'd give me a response.

12:42 PM

Me:
Hi, Xynthea! Do you have a moment?

Xynthea:
Hii!
Yes, of course. I always have time for you <3 Do you want me to stop time for a moment?

Me:
Good to know, and no, you don't have to stop time pls ಠ,_｣ಠ I just have a question for you.

What do you think is love?

Xynthea:
Huh?
Oh, sorry. Nagulat lang ako!
What's this for? In love ka?

Me:
Maybe? Kidding asides.

Xynthea:
Sure? Hahhahaha. Wala naman ako masyadong alam din, pero I'll do my best to answer well. Please give me some time.

Me:
No problem, Xynthea!

12:46 PM

Xynthea:
Hm, I think true love is eternal. They say time is eternal, gold, and infinite, but I do think true love surpasses it all.

Me:
Really? Why do you think so?

Xynthea:
Because love is the one who'll decide if you want to spend more time or stop everything. This is something that does not only apply to the love for someone, but also to the love in your passion.

If you feel like you do not love what you're doing, you stop spending time to do it. If you stop loving someone, it happens too.

But true love—

If you get tired of something you truly love, you don't stop. You eventually get back to it and start again, like a clock that repeats after the day ends. The clock wants to keep working and keep reminding you that there is eternity if you put your heart into it— if you believe and keep loving, whatever tomorrow brings.

Ah, masyado na ba akong maraming nasabi? hahahahhahshuhuhu sorry. And you don't need to be so formal!

Me:
No! It's okay, Xynthea! Nakakahiya naman na magpakabastos sa Goddess of Time. Thank you so much! I hope you find eternal and true love.

Xynthea:
Thank you! I already have my friends and my home. They're enough. Bonus nalang ang iba <3

Nagpatuloy nalang ang kamustahan namin habang sinusulat ko at tine-take notes ko ang mga sinabi niya. Sunod namang natagpuan ng mata ko ang number ni Luel, pero umirap nalang ako dahil alam kong hindi siya magre-reply. She only picks up her phone once in a blue moon! Kung magre-reply man siya, malamang natapos ko na ang dapat kong gawin. 'Yong Mama nalang niya, kakausapin ko.
