Typical relationships usually start out with a clap of chemistry and the rush of attraction. From simple admiration to deep affection. Relationship is not just about love, it requires work, attention, practical things like compromise and communication.
You need to prepare for what is likely to happen when you enter into a relationship. Because once you commit, it won't be easy to face challenges along the way.
Alam ko sa sarili kong mahal ko na si Rhys, pero iyong takot sa puso ko hindi pa rin nawawala. I said l like him so much, but deep inside l knew it's more than that. I'm just fooling myself all this time.
"Ay walang label..." Nagpaparinig na naman si Hera.
Kumakain kami ng pizza sa kuwarto ko, dumiretso kami rito pagkatapos ng klase.
"Buti pa 'tong can ng coke meron," uminom siya saka ako nginisihan na parang tanga. "kayo wala." tumawa ang gaga at may pasapak-sapak pa kay Yani.
"Mababali braso ko dahil sa babaeng 'to." Yani made a poker face look. She seem irritated.
I shook my head and sighed. "I'm inlove but l'm scared to commit." They say pain is part of love...it hurts. I'm used to get hurt by the people around me, but him...l don't think l can endure it.
This might sound cliché but he's my first love. Ngayon ko lang naramdaman ito. And a thought of us hurting each other in any way...that would probably excruciating.
"We're old enough to decide on our own." Yani look so serious. She lean on the chair while staring at me. "I ain't good at advising but if l were in your situation, l would choose what my heart says." then she smiled genuinely. "Love is the best feeling in the world...Kung walang pag-ibig, walang kasiyahan. You're lack of love, and there's him willing to give it all to you. Bilang kaibigan ang gusto ko lang maging masaya ka, lalo na 'pag dumating ang araw na mawala na ako."
I was caught by her last words. It boggles my mind that l'm having a hard time to sleep.
si Yani, kathang-isip ko lang siya...isang imahinasyon na hindi ko mabura at hindi ko kayang burahin sa aking isipan. Sila ni Hera, para sa akin totoo sila dahil iyon ang nararamdaman ko.
Bumangon ako mula sa pagkakahiga at uminom ng tubig nang maalala ko ang mga litrato namin kanina ni Hera at Yani, alam kong ako lang ang nakakakita sa kanila kaya kinunan ko na rin ng litrato ang tatlong can ng soft drinks at isang box ng pizza kanina saka ko nilagay iyon sa story o my day ko.
The caption says 'Me and them.' I was referring to my imaginary friends.
Minutes later, I received lot of reactions from the viewers, when l noticed Rhys viewed and popped three hearts on it.
Pumunta ako sa profile niya at tinignan ko ang stories niya, ang unang litrato ay mga pagkain, it looks expensive l guess nasa restaurant siya. Ang pangalawa naman ay stolen picture niya na nakangiti habang kumakain, nireact ko ng heart ang mga iyon. Pero natigilan ako nang makita ang pangatlong litrato, siya kasama ang isang magandang babae na mukhang foreigner. Pareho silang nakangiti, nakapulupot pa ang braso ng babae sa braso niya.
I immediately turned off my phone and lay on the bed. For some reasons, it pisses me. Nanliligaw siya sa akin pagkatapos may kasama siyang ibang babae. Is he playing with me? Was all he said just a lie?
Napabaling ako sa cellphone ko nang mag vibrate iyon at pangalan niya ang unang lumabas sa notification.
