Drops and Beats (Teardrops And Heartbeats) - One Shot Stories

RIGHT HERE WAITING FOR YOU

They say, waiting is the most genuine proof of love. People dares to seal one thing in a promise although they aren't sure if they could, or they will fulfill it.

Some would forget it like their favorite toys during childhood; others just don't have a will to do it... and some aren't just able to complete it for some reasons.

But some people don't really fond of it. For they believe that promises is the other way of telling lies— a sweet lies— as what I believe.

    Right love at the wrong time? Yeah, it exists.

I am a future doctor while he is a future lawyer. We have been together for 7 years now.

We're a high school sweethearts.

He's my classmate during 7th grade, until the end of our junior high school years.

I could still clearly remember how we started.

An open forum held in the classroom when we're in grade 7. My classmates told everyone their rants to others, while he confessed his feelings for me.

Funny how my face quickly turned crimson red because I like him too. He courted me along with my family for almost one year, asking for the utmost consent of my parents. He even introduce me to his parents even before I finally gave him my 'yes'.

   Most of our batch mates and friends envy our relationship. We barely have fights, and when we had, we always compromise. No pride had existed in between of our relationship since the beginning, we always choose our relationship more than any feelings of pride and jealousy.

Unfortunately, we are born to be a dreamer. And if we would make a choice between our dream and love, I know that we will choose the former.

    Everything was fine as we began to dream and dream, and dream. And now, we're in our 3rd year college— he's currently taking his pre-law degree program, while I'm taking my pre-med.

Ang lahat ay maayos naman, animo'y walang bagyong mananalasa sa mapayapa naming relasyon.

Ngunit sabi nga nila, wala namang permanente sa mundong ito.

Ang inaakala nating magtatagal kasama ang mga planong binuo ay may posibilidad na hindi pala pang-matagalan, hindi pala kayang tiisin at panindigan.

Sabi nila, p'wede naman daw pagsabayin ang pag-abot ng pangarap at pakikipag-relasyon, ngunit sa sitwasyon naming dalawa ay hindi iyon kaya— mahirap at kalaban namin ang oras.

Everything's still clear in my head. The words, the tears, the hug, the kiss, the "I love you's", the apologies, and  above all, the gloomy pair of eyes...

    My heart broke as a lone tear escaped from Sean's eyes. Those beautiful pair of eyes I always adore were seems gloomy as the night.

"I'm s-sorry..." Two words, but are enough to tear my heart apart.

I balled my fist to suppress my hands from trembling, but it didn't even work.

"B-Bakit?"

I know too well that he didn't intended to do this, but what are his reasons? Dahil pagod na siya? Pagod din naman ako pero bakit kinakaya ko?

"I am really sorry. I was tired, Leigh." I chuckled, discarding the heavy feeling inside me. Yeah, I was right. "I am getting tired. I feel like I will lost everything in no time. I couldn't afford to lose you, but we both know that we couldn't manage more to lose on the battlefield of our dreams. I'm really, really sorry." He continued, making me numb in pain.

Marahas kong pinahid ang luhang tumulo sa mata ko.

"Pagod din naman ako, Sean! Pagod na pagod din ako. Please naman, huwag mo akong sukuan dahil kahit minsan ay hindi 'yan sumagi sa isip ko!" I shouted, releasing all the pain, anger, and disappointment that is consuming my energy.
