I'm dating a weird guy!

Chapter 1

I've been encountering this....this butterflies in my stomach when Xavier, the handsome-generous-kind man I've been loving for so long pass by my eyes.... He was the perfect man for me. He was the reason why I keep my promise to my PapeLolo (my grandfather).

(flashback)

"PapeLolo, what's wrong?" I said to my grandfather because he look so ill. "Wala apo, tulongan mo nalang ako dito" my lolo respond. "Papelolo, I think your not okay" I said to my papelolo with a caring face.

"Don't try to bother me apo, I'm really okay. Just.... just help me okay?" my lolo said with no emotions at all. "Okay po" I said and help my lolo in putting some decorations in his work.

The day after... It was 2:30 in the afternoon. I got dismissed in my class because my teacher told me that there is an emergency.

My grandfather collapse while walking towards our Restaurant and he was immediately rushed to the hospital. I was so shocked that day and immediately goes to the hospital where my grandfather was being confine.

Ng nakarating na ako sa hospital na iyon, una kung nakita ang pamilya ko.. and tito at tita ko...ang pinakamamahal kong ina at ama...

"Mom, tell me po... is it true? Is it really true that Papelolo was being rushed to this hospital? Why?" I said to my mom with a teary eye.
"Anak, 'wag kang mag-alala. Everything will be okay, everything will be fine. Trust me. Trust me okay?" my mom told me.

"Mom, Dad. Why!? My Papelolo is healthy right? Why? He is not too old to be rushed to the hospital!" At this time, I am crying... I am really crying. "Tahan na anak....tahan na" mom said. She tried to comfort me and it didn't work until I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I saw many people I've knew....pamilya namin, kapitbahay at matatalik na kaibigan ng pamilya namin. Pero bakit? Bakit sila nandito? Madali kong Hinanap ang mama ko at nakita ko syang umiiyak..... lumapit ako sa kanya at nagtanong.
"Mama, why are y..." Naputol ang tanong ko sa mama ko ng makita ko ang Papelolo kong gising na.

"Papelolo!" I hug my Papelolo tight. "Apo..." my papelolo said with a calm voice.
"Papelolo, you know what I've prayed alot! Natakot po kasi ako eh. Sinabi ko kay papa God na mawala na po lahat 'wag lang ang pinakamamahal kung lolo sa buong mundo!" I told my Papelolo with excitement.
"Apo,... salamat." Nakikita ko sa mga mata ng Papelolo ko na mayroon talagang problema, I know it even if I am young and still in secondary level, I know it even if they thought I'm still a baby, I know it because I feel it.

"Apo, ipangako mo...ipanga..." ng biglang mayroong nangyari...naiyak na lamang ako. Pumasok kaagad ang mga doctor at bigla na lamang kaming ipinalabas ng nurse. Hindi ko alam kung bakit.

Ilang sandali ay lumabas ang isang doctor "You still have 5 minutes to talk to Mr.Heidreck, I'm sorry." sabi ng doctor.

I heard what the doctor said.

I myself immediately go inside the room and saw my Papelolo. He was not the Papelolo I've laugh to, I've tickle to...his different...his very different.

"Papelolo! Please you're joking right? I don't like it. This joke is too serious for me. Please Papelolo stop joking na kasi because it is not funny na po talaga!" I keep my tears flow like a waterfall.

"Apo,... My princess... I'm...Sorry... I didn't tell.....you this.... because you....are too young..Please forgive...you.... promisee me this... Promise me..... that you... will.... have a good..... life and..... good future.... for your.... own family... Find and..... make..... a family that.... fits on you...please promise.... me.... this... my princess.. I'm sorry,... that I.... can't go..... to your..... sweet sixteen birthday,... Your 18th birthday...I'm sorry... I broke my... promise to be your... last dance... I tried apo,.. I tried but I am tired of trying..." I can't believe this... My papelolo said this to me. Nakatunganga akong nakatingin sa papelolo ko at walang masabi. Iyak ako ng iyak sa harapan nya.

"Papelolo, I'm scared.... Please papelolo...Please don't be tired of trying... Please.. I swear to you papelolo I will not tickle you everyday" I can't stop crying.

"No apo....be brave...just tr....." I stop crying. My mom and dad stop crying. Not because my Papelolo was gone but because I understand the truth. The truth that hurts me very much.... Trying to awake from fairytales....This time I will continue this story of mine without my Papelolo....

"I promise Papelolo"........
