~ After 2 and a half years~

In Between the time skip happenings:

The news reported that the Pandemic brought by the foreign Chinese personnel was indeed a virus that cannot be untreated. As such, everything was put on hold. The groceries had to stock up immediately due to the citizens' panic buying. The workers had to be quarantined, the personnel, the people from the airport had to stay for two weeks for further examinations, the doctors and nurses stayed in their residency most of the time.

Almost everybody who worked physically, had to be removed or fired, they had to wait to get another job from the same company. While that was in motion, social media, became a big part of the Pandemic. It was called the Coronavirus 2019.

As that was in motion, we students became busier and sturdier, and exhausted with how to deal with online classes and activities as it was hard to handle them technologically. But for me, it was alright, I adjusted well with everything, aside from the group works, and such. Now, the situation with Roman; after the conversation we had where he told me that he needed or wanted to say something to me, but instead, wanted to say it personally and irl, he fr didn't tell me about it. No matter how much I try and push it out of him, he keeps joking me and teasing me about it. That if I don't stop, I fr won't be able to hear it, and instead, I'm going to be met with his face directly. He asked me one time, how old I was. And when I told him I'm three years younger than him, he was shooketh. He literally thought I was cappin him, but I wasn't. After a few more weeks of that kind of talking situation with him, I was able to be more open with how I feel about him. We both know about each other's feelings, we both said that we'd wait and cherish what we both have at the moment, and all that.

I would sometimes have my moods and he would literally ignore all of them, and tell me he's busy, but still talk to me and listen to me. He values quality time more than material things and the like. Which made me see why I really like him and his ways. He would tell me to keep saying what was in my mind, because he likes it when I say what's on my mind. He likes to look at my face and listen to me when we're in a call. He's usually not comfortable with opening his mic during our call, but he does every single time. And when I ask him, what made him do it, he would tell me it's because I just seem to make him feel comfortable doing it in my presence. He's not conscious or anything at all. And I would always think why people always say such things to me. It just seemed like everybody always finds something that makes them feel at ease with me. 

As that talking level rose up, Roman's 20th birthday also came with it. During the morning, I messaged him and greeted him 'Happy Birthday'. Surprising enough, it wasn't read, not even a single reaction. A few hours after I sent the greeting, there's still no progress. It stayed the same, I didn't push it further because I thought he was probably spending it with his family, as he should. I tried again the next day but, my messages weren't read. I tried again the next day, then the next day, and then again on the next day; there was no action or seen at all.

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, Christmas passed by, I greeted him and his family, New Year came and passed by, I still greeted him; and months, turned into 2 and a half years. Still the same, no answer, no reply, no updates. I was ghosted. I was ignored. I was forgotten. I was abandoned. By the person I expected to be the person I can finally been hoping and praying to be.
