Even Miles Apart

The first time we met.

Some love are just for temporary usage.

Some love are forever.

But some love are just unidentified.

None of us could really tell if the person we are loving are the right person for us.

None of us could, until it is proven right or wrong.

I am Francesca Martinez. I am 23 years old. I am working in my own company, yeah, a fashion company. Galing ko no? May sarili na akong company at the age of 23. My parents are business tycoons. They have this big company of foods and beverages. Yung brother ko ang nagma-manage nun ngayon. I'm not into food and drinks, I'm into fashion industry.

Marami ang nagsasabi na ang successful ko na daw. Lahat na sakin na. Money, beauty, brain, and attitude. Pero ang hindi nila alam may isa pang bagay ang kulang sakin.

LOVE.

Right. Love is the only thing na wala sakin. Yes, my family and friends love me but I am talking about the person I want to love for the rest of my life.

And I have found him long ago. But the sad thing is he doesn't love me the way I want it to to be.

He only sees me as a friend and nothing more.

Do I really love him? Yes.

Do I want to be with him forever? Yes.

Is he really the one? I don't know.

Hindi ako sigurado kung siya na ba talaga kasi iba yung nararamdaman ko para sa kanya. I love him for who he is, as a man. But I know he love me differently, a friend to be exact. Haaaayy buhayyyy!

Anyways, andito na naman ako sa likod ng stage. Tahimik akong nago-observe sa practice ng Duffel. At tahimik ko ring tinititigan ang taong mahal ko noon paman. Naalala ko tuloy yung una naming pagkikita.

Nagkakilala kami noong college pa ako. 2nd year college ako nun tas siya 4th year college na. Yup, two years yung gap namin. Duh? Ang liit lang ng two years na gap.

Busy siya nun sa paggigitara. Nasa greenhouse kami nun. Na una siya dun kasi pagdating ko dun andun na siya. I stopped when I heard him sing. He has this angelic voice. Nasa likod niya ako nun tas nakikinig lang.

Maya-maya, napansin ata niya na may nakatingin sa kanya kaya tumingin siya sa likod niya at nakita ako. I was like glued to where I was standing. Ang gwapo niya. Pero di ko ma gets yung titig niya. I can't see what his eyes are hiding. In short mysterious effect agad siya sakin. He asked me nun kung sino ako at kung bakit daw ako nandun. Sabi ko naman sa kanya na naparaan lang ako ng may marinig akong kumakanta.

He just nodded in response. Tas tumingin siya ulit sakin at nagpakilala. I did the same. Kaso nung makikipagkamay na siya naparalisa ako. I don't know what to do. Kinakabahan ako na ewan. I reached for his hand nun.

The moment our hands met I knew right there and then that he is the right one for me.

He should be.
