Hi I'm Denver, I'm single, and nothing seems to be interesting in my life lately. Kain tulog lang siguro ambag ko sa sarili ko. Takot pa ako sa commitment lalo na sa pagkakaroon ng lovelife pero parang gusto ko paring ma subukan. I mean my face is not just average, well in fact I am super popular in Aristarchus University, my college school.
Sa totoo lang I have so many girls to choose but I know they only liked me because of my looks na super understandable naman talaga. My friend Jake told me to try the Dating app called "constellations", parang blind date daw tapos hahanapin niya yung ka compatible ko na constellations eh gemini ako.
Dahil narin bored na bored na ako sinubukan ko nga ang dating app na matagal nang pinapayo ni Jake sa akin.
"Tinggggg" my phone rang
"Oh it succesfully found my partner" eh busy pa ako nun so hindi ko namalayan na nag message na pala ang partner ko.
Leo daw constellation niya.....

Still single, my life seems to be interesting lately. Kain tulog at dating app lang siguro ambag ko sa sarili ko. Takot pa ako sa commitment lalo na sa pagkakaroon ng lovelife pero parang gusto ko paring ma subukan.
Dami nang nangyari sa amin ni Leo sa isang taon pero parang gusto ko paring ituloy yung pag uusap namin hangga't makapag tapos ako ng college. Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang connection naming dalawa parang matagal na kami magkakilala at parang ang sarap niya lang kausap. So we chat everyday, we even want to meet someday. Kaso nasa ibang bansa daw siya ngayon.
"Jackpot ako kung Americana to" kinikilig na sambit ko. So i tried to message her kung taga saan siya dati. And she replied naman na pareho daw kami ng City na agad ko namang ikinagulat parang match na match talaga kami.
" Lord siya na kaya ang hinihintay ko" kinikilig na panalangin ko gabi gabi.
"Tingggg" my phone rang
"Uuwi na ako this weekend, Gemini" ~ Leo

Still single, my life seems to be VERY interesting lately. Dating app nalang siguro ambag ko sa sarili ko. Di na ako takot sa commitment lalo na sa pagkakaroon ng lovelife kaya parang gusto ko nang ma subukan.
My username is Gemini and her username is Leo. We've been talking so much but since na umuwi siya sa Pilipinas hindi parin kami nag me meet kasi nga iba na address nila. Parang matured na ako masyado pero gusto ko na talaga eh level up tong relationship namin. I mean we've been into eachother for 3 years at siguro kung hindi naman kami interesado sa isa't isa eh diba dapat matagal na kaming tumigil sa dating app na to??
"Tingggggg" my phone rang
" Let's fixed the date baby gemini " ~ Leo
Agad akong naalimpungatan sa pagtulog ko, it's 3 am but yung kilig ko abot na abot sa Mars, Saturn at Jupiter!!!
"Baby Gemini??" bakitt tinawag niya akong Baby??!!
"Baby Leo??"
" Pretty Leo??"
" My Leoooo???""Ano ba ang itatawag ko sa kanya!!!??" Kinikilig na pag pra practice ko habang papalapit na ako sa naka reserved na table namin.
"Miss may naka reserve po bang table? Uhmm the name is Leo??"
"Im gonna check sir, Uhmmm yes sir, number 20 po from the right, enjoy po sirrr"
" Thank you miss"
" Have a good day sir"
Yes this is a very good day...
Kabado na uupo sa table habang tubig ko ay paubos na kakainom...
Lumipas ang isang minuto ay nag message siya sa akin na nakarating na siya...
Agad akong kinabahan at madaliang inayos ang suot ko...
May papalapit na sa table ko...
(Deafening Footsteps)
Dahil sa matinding kaba hindi ko na magawang tumingin.....
" Excuse me, this table is already reserved" ~ Leo
Tekaa parang kakaiba naman boses niya, parang mas lalo akong na attract at kinilig....
Agad kong sinabi sa kanya...
"Baby Leo??" Sabay pikit mata at yakap sa kanyaa...
Awkward Silenceee......
[Lahat ng tao sa restaurant ay nakatitig na sa amin]
"Are u Gemini!!!!??" ~ Leo
Mga pawis ko na tumatagktak habang sisilipin ko na siya...
Irregular heartbeat..
HOW ARE YOU MY SON ?
How long has it been? I'm sorry, your mom was very late...
She is crying.....
At Hindi ko rin alam pero parang bigla nalang din ako naiyak habang binibigkas niya ang mga salitang iyan.
Ever since I was born, I never once see my mom's face. And I'm always thinking why did he left me...?
Numbers of questions are popping to my head...
Am I a burden to her???
Or does she really love me??
How can she leave a BABY??
How dare...these are the questions I really wanted her to answer!! But When I see her crying, those questions became meaningless.....
Those questions I stored for 20 years became my worries and excitement...
And there, I realized that Chasing Rainbows is not impossible.
Now I have my mom!! And I couldn't ask for more, since she is the Rainbow I've been chasing for.
