02 - Internet Love

Dedicated to: RedInkAlive

I don’t really believe into the idea of internet love.

Like how would two people fall in love solely just by communicating each other at social media?

That was my mindset before.

Not until this guy unexpectedly chatted me.

Him:
hi, good evening. nagsusulat ka?

I’m actually an aspiring writer at that one platform named Wattpad. I created a Facebook writing account to hopefully promote my works, so I’m somewhat more active here.

Abala ako sa pag-e-edit ng chapter sa series ko nang mag-pop up ang message niyang ‘yon.

His name is Ken.

I admittedly smiled at his second message and decide to respond.

I don’t really want myself to entertain guys nowadays. I promise to myself that I should only focus on my studies and passion. But this guy made me broke that promise.

I don’t know, there’s something on him. And that’s the thing I want to know.

Me:
hello, good evening. yes, why?
bago lang din ako nagsimula.

Ni-seen niya agad ito. And a smiled immediately plastered on me, knowing he’s perhaps, waiting for my reply.

I received three messages from him chronologically.

Him: lapag nga username ng ma-judge ko
Him: kidding aside
Him: follow lang kita and i will read your stories:)

His last message brought a wide smile to my face. I have already received this kind of message from my Facebook girlfriends but it really hits different if it came from a guy.

Bihira lang magbasa ang mga lalaki.

Me:
pinapakilig mo ba ako? dejoke
@xxxxx username ko.

He responds immediately.

Wala ba ‘tong ibang pinagkakaabalahan? Ang bilis mag-reply ha. Green flag siya r’yan.

But yeah, magaling lang lahat sa umpisa.

Him:
slightly

Needless to say, but I also like his typing’s. We’re almost the same. Nakaka-pogi ng dating.

Me:
thank you agad:)

Him:
wala ‘yon, basta ikaw.

Ay wow, pinopormahan ba ako neto?

Me:
medyo effective ha

I relay my intrusive thoughts. I’ve been a lot of talking stages before. So, I quietly know how to handle a conversation.

Him: tayo nalang kaya
Him: kidding

I’m taken a back with his out of nowhere replies. I slide my tongue inside my cheeks to control my vibration.

Ewan, dapat sanay na ako sa mga ganito. Hindi na dapat ako matatablan ng kilig pero ewan ko talaga bakit kinikilig pa rin ako.

Walang hiyang sarili.

Me:
feeling ko talaga kilala mo ‘ko tas gino-good time mo ‘ko. bilis e!

Hindi ko mapigilang sabihin. Kakakita ko lang kasi no’ng video tungkol sa lalaking nagpanggap ang kapatid niyang may gusto sa kanya sa RP.
