More Than Just A Memory

Introduction

Mahirap...Mahirap magmahal sa isang taong katulad niya. Masakit isipin na hanggang dito na lang kayo, sa friendzone. Pinaasa niya ako ng apat na taon. Feeling ko, ako nalang palagi ang gumagawa ng effort para mapansin niya ako. Ako nalang palagi ang gumagawa ng paraan para makalapit sa kanya. Palagi nalang akong pinagsasabihan ng mga kaibigan ko na mag-move on na daw ako, maghanap na ako ng bagong crush, pero kahit anong sabihin nila..si Hunston Sage pa rin ang taong mahal ko.

Teka lang, ano nga ba ang pinag-kaiba ng crush sa pag-ibig?
Ang crush, nagustuhan mo ang isang tao dahil sa itsura niya at sandali lang naman ang crush eh. Pero ang pag-ibig, matagal iyan. Ang pag-ibig, nagustuhan mo na ang isang tao hindi lang dahil sa itsura niya, pero dahil din sa ugali. Na-fall ka na sa kanya. Kapag lumagpas ka na sa four months, mahal mo na nga ang isang tao. Pero minsan, infatuation palang iyan. Ang gulo noh? Bago ang pag-ibig, dadaan ka muna sa infatuation stage. Ang infatuation naman, intense na ang nararamdaman mo sa kanya pero hindi pang habang buhay. Okay, so ang pag-ibig..everlasting na. Tanggap mo na ang buong pagkatao niya. Lahat ng flaws and imperfections, tanggap mo na. Mahal mo na eh.

Pag-ibig na ata ang narararamdaman ko para kay Hunston. Pero hindi naman niya ako mahal. Noon, obvious na nga eh..obvious na talaga na crush ko siya. Pati mga kaibigan niya, nahalata na nila na crush ko siya..pero hanggang dun pa naman, hindi niya pa rin marealize na mahal ko siya. Jusko, halata na ako eh. Even my other classmates already found out na crush ko siya. Siya nalang ata ang hindi nakakahalata. Ang manhid naman niya. Well, I don't blame him. Siguro, ganyan talaga siya.

Pero bakit ko nga ba nagustuhan si Hunston? Ano ang nakita ko sa kanya?
I don't know where to begin. Well, first of all he's tall, good looking, and simple. During the first day of school my very first impression of him is..he's nice and kind. So far, until today I'm right. He's very intelligent. For me, he's the best in academics. He's the only one who has scored 101/100 in the math exam. No other person could ever match his great intelligence. He's also smart. Also, have you ever wondered what characteristics you want in a guy? Well, for me he has it all. He's also very talented. A great singer and an amazing instrument player. I just wish I could sing with him someday without nervousness.(is my grammar correct?) Anyways, he's also sporty and funny. Magaling siya maglaro ng chess, he's a chess champion. Wala pang nakakatalo sa kanya. Magaling din siya mag-basketball. I also have a gut feeling he loves nature the way I do. I still don't know if I'm correct or not. Based on my observations, I think he's also a music lover. I hope he also likes old music. Music from the 70's-90's. I also think he's shy but loud. I couldn't quite explain it yet. He's very creative and artistic.

Everything about him is very attractive to me. I don't know why. His best characteristic of all is his kind heart. He's a gentleman. Now that really hit me the most. The way he acts toward girls with kindness and respect is a big deal not only to me, but girls worldwide. Even if some of the people say he's not good looking etc. I don't care. Because his flaws and imperfections will be his best features. Everytime he smiles or laughs, it makes me want to smile too. Whenever he's alone and his face is plain and serious, I couldn't stop looking at him because I'm curious about what he's thinking. His deep eyes staring at the unknown with a mysterious yet captivating stare makes me curious. Such deep thoughts everytime I see him that way. It makes him mysterious and I want to know what secrets are there to be discovered. He's the only guy in this world that made me feel this way. I may have crushes in the past, but none of them could equalize what I feel for him now. He's very unique and he's the type of guy that is very rare to find. He's more special than any gold, jewels, gems, and even if someone offers me the most expensive thing, he's worth more than it. He's unique, special, and no words could ever explain how I feel whenever he's around.

Siya na ata ang ultimate guy goals!

But that was in the past. Hindi na kami high school students. At two years na kaming naka-graduate ng college. So obviously, may trabaho na kami. Ang huli kong balita sa kanya, pagkatapos daw niyang mag-graduate ng college, tumira daw siya somehwere near our school. At lawyer na siya. Iyon na ang huli kong update sa kanya before I went to Los Angeles. Sa LA, hindi ako naging fashion designer agad. Nag-part time job ako as a fashion model. Isa at kalahating taon akong nag-modeling sa Los Angeles, New York, and in many places of California and Malibu. Dahil dun, nakaipon ako ng pera para magtayo ng sarili kong store, "Marella Bella" ang pangalan ng store ko. Model pa rin ako hanggang ngayon, pero not like how it used to be before I became a designer. Mas focused na ako sa trabaho ko as a fashion designer. So as you know, masaya na ako sa buhay ko sa Los Angeles. Hindi ko na masyadong inisip si Hunston, until to the point I rarely think about him nalang.

All is well in the life of Marcella Pilar. But that changed when she received an invite from her friend Briana Rosa.
