It was 2013 when I first met him, at first I didn't know he had a crush on me. Later I found out, and his friends started teasing us.
I am too focused on my studies, it was my top priority. Always Joining extracurricular activities and student council. Run as a secretary, and I won. I didn't know I had supporters, I had a nasty temper and an ugly attitude. However, despite all of that I still won and got the position.
I was thankful that I won, and that they believed in my capability.
I became too busy with both my studies and responsibilities as part of the student council. I wanted to prove to everyone that it's not just a title, but a Role that everyone can look up to. I wanted to show them that, their vote wouldn't go to waste and that they chose the right person for this position.
I was a graduating student, and I was 2 years ahead of him.
He asked me out, and I decided to give him a chance. A chance for us to get to know each other. We always have quality time with each other. Helping him out with his studies, while preparing for our Research defense.
He's so caring, and kind. He's always there for me, supporting me at all times. He always rooted for me, and I did the same for him. We were so in love.
I always help him with his research subject and his homework. He did his homework, and I proofread for him. He excels in his class, and I am so proud of him. He writes songs and even poems for me, and everyone in his class teases us even more.
Messenger was not yet popular at that time. We were just texting, and calling and he always sang for me. He always makes my heart pound and makes me feel so loved and cared for.
During our Prom, it was a Hawaiian dance attire. He brought a jacket for me, he was so sweet yet a very naughty person. I love him the way he is, and I couldn't ask for more. I was too contented.
His perfume is so addicting. I couldn't forget his smell, it was too tempting. He is so shy with everyone, but not when he is with me. Not when no one is around, only us. He was my first kiss, hug, and holding hands. We called each other "Mhine".
Our Relationship lasted for 7 months when I decided to break up with him. I noticed a change in his behavior. Like he uses all his time for me, and can no longer focus on his study. I didn't want that, I didn't want to be the reason for his failures. Instead, I wanted to be his inspiration. I wanted to motivate him. However, it seems like he couldn't take it that way.
I broke with him.
And didn't give him any reason, or any explanation. I just did.
He always calls at night, crying, and keeps on asking the reason why.
And for me to give him another chance. To make everything right.
It hurts, of course. For the last 7 months, he was my world. And suddenly things changed, and he became a memory of my past.
Another year ended, and I graduated from High school.
I started my college life, and we no longer have communication.
I graduated from College. I took a month to rest and decided to go out of the city, to look for a job. I applied to a BPO Industry, and guess what? First attempt I passed. It was a telco account, however, I only lasted for 2 months and decided to look for other opportunities from other companies.
Then I got accepted to an Airline account, However, due to health issues I decided to resign and took a month to rest and observe my well-being.
I applied again, to another BPO Company. I got accepted again, it was another Airline account. Started in 2019 and lasted until 2022. Due to fraud, the account was closed down and we were re-profiled. I was re-profiled to another account tier 3 and it's all about hotel accommodation, a relocation department. I didn't like the management, so I decided to apply to another company for the same account before I was re-profiled. I got accepted, however, the location is quite far from where I was residing. The traffic is too much, and the salary is just not enough for me.
Then finally, after I left that company and joined the current company I am with until now. The company and account where I felt I am valued, and growing up as a person. As an Agent, floorwalker ( support ), Subject Matter Expert, and now a Team Coach. I can say my career is growing.
And then, only this year. He reached out to me.
We then now have communication with each other again.
We decided to reunite, and we had this hang-out at my favorite venue, an open drinking venue with a live band. We drank and had a chit-chat.
He sang multiple songs on stage with the band. And when he returned to our table with my best friend, he then suddenly asked about our past. He wanted to know the reason why we had broken up.
I had no choice, but to let him know.
That I broke up with him, for him to grow as a person. And set his priorities, for career and growth.
