Two years later.The hall was a symphony of excitement, with bright lights casting a warm glow over the fans who had gathered for the long-awaited fan signing event of my novel.
Just like how I imagined before, as a tribute, I authored a book about my story with Kade Aleja. Hindi ko inasahan na sisikat 'tong sinulat kong libro lalo na't tungkol ito sa pagmamahalan ng dalawang kalalakihan.
Something unexpected happened, may sikat na artistang aksidenteng nabili 'yung libro ko. Wala siyang choice noon para basahin na lang ito dahil ayaw niyang masayang 'yung pera niya. Fortunately, he loved my book. He loved it so much that he decided to post it on social media to recommend it to his fans. 'Yung mga fans naman niya, binili ang libro ko and before I knew about it, all my books were sold out.
I wished...
I wished he would have witness this event with me.
I miss him so much.
Miss na miss ko na siya.
As I took my seat behind the table adorned with copies of the book that chronicled our journey, my heart raced with a mix of anticipation and gratitude. This was not just my story; it was our story, and sharing it felt surreal.
"Next in line, please," the event coordinator's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. My hands tingled with nervousness and excitement as I picked up the pen, ready to inscribe our tale onto each reader's copy.
A young woman stepped up, her eyes wide with anticipation, mirroring the emotions that had been coursing through me all day. She placed her copy of the book in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions.
"Hi there! I'm so glad you're here," I greeted, hoping to convey just how much this moment meant to me. "What's your name?"
"I'm Rain," she replied, a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Hi, Rain! It's wonderful to meet you. Have you had a chance to read our story?" I asked, eager to hear her perspective.
Rain's face lit up as she began to share her favorite moments from the novel—our journey that she had embarked upon through the pages. We quickly fell into a heartfelt conversation about the ups and downs of our relationship, and a sense of camaraderie blossomed between us. Talking about our story with her felt like reliving those moments all over again.
After our heartfelt chat, I picked up the pen and wrote a personalized message in her book, thanking her for joining us on our journey. Handing it back to her, I couldn't help but feel a swell of emotion as she clutched it to her heart.
"Thank you so much for being a part of our story, Rain," I said, truly grateful for her support.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she smiled back. "No, thank you for sharing this with us. It's such a beautiful story. It was a roller coaster ride."
As Rain moved on, the line continued to grow, each person carrying a piece of our story with them. The event was a reminder of the power of storytelling—to connect, to inspire, and to remind us all of the universal experiences of love and connection. And with every new interaction, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the chance to share our love story with the world, one reader at a time.
A love story where we had a happy ending.
If Kade were here, would he be proud of me? Would he be happy for me? I really wished he would magically come, warm me up with his smile, and compliment me for how I've become.
"Author?"
Nabalik ako sa huwisyo nang magsalita na ang sumunod na magpapapirma ng libro. Nakakunot ang noo nito at halata sa mukha niya ang pag-aalala habang nakatingin sa akin. Nakita ko na rin ang iba pang nakapila na nagbubulungan habang sinisilip-silip ako.
