Delayed

She wanted to smack her head on the wall with frustration. This is the second time this month that she is going out of country and this is also the second time that her flight got delayed.. Again. Seriously ? Is the universe conspiring against her? Why? What did she do wrong? But of course her questions were left unanswered

She fished her iPhone out of her Stardivis backpack, to update him. He has been constantly checking up on her throughout out the trip, telling her about Baste's successful concert, how much he misses her. His upcoming concert in Cebu. He misses her very much. How he went to one of his fanclub official launches. He REALLY misses her. The number of Pokemon's he was able to catch on all of his routes. And ya, he couldn't wait for her to get back cause  he missed her.

'Flight delayed. 😞😭😥'

'Oh my poor baby... Cheer up'

'I can't.. I hate delays to the infinite level'

'Me too... but a little less on the hate meter'

'I hate it when there is a delay in my order when I'm super ravenous '

'I hate it when there is a delay in any event and fans have to wait it out'

'I hate it when I get delayed calls from you because of your workload'

'I am frustrated when our dates gets delayed because our schedules don't match up'

'I was devasted when I  realized that our meeting was delayed just because I chose that moment to faint'

'I wanted to pull my hair out eveytime they delayed our meet up with a new twist'

'I feel bad for delaying our movie and 'keeping you and the fans waiting just because I wasn't ready '

'I am pissed off when traffic holds me from getting much more quickly to you'

'Wow.. we might have just made another Guinness world record. Using a word many times ina single convo..'

'*scrolls*yup 😂'

'😉'

'But what is the biggest delay in your life that you absolutely despise, regardless if you caused it or someone else'

'Hmmm.. I guess at times I feel mad at myself for not realizing my potential. All these years of my life, I kept hiding in my shell, afraid that I would end up making a fool of myself. I kept telling myself that 'That day would come soon when I'll come out and spread my wings ' but what I didn't realize was that the only thing between me and that moment was myself. My low self esteem became the reason behind the delay of my self discovery, of what I can be.'

'But it led you to now where you are today. I guess it was a blessing in disguise '

'For sure.. hey your turn'

'Ahh'

'Look no pressure.. if you don't want to share it. And im fine with that.. look 👉😊'

'No its fine... I guess the only time I had hated waiting was when my mom was in the hospital... I hated it when her medication or operation had to wait cause we didnt have enough money at that moment. I loathed waiting for the doctor to come and tell me some bad news.. I especially despised those doctors who delayed their rounds on purpose, because it meant she had to suffer more. I wanted to punch the wall when one of her most critical operation was held up because it was a 'not so highly equipped' hospital and they couldn't arrange some instruments they required'

'RJ..'

'But most of all I felt my heart break into a thousand pieces when her last ever 'Mahal kita' to me didn't completely reach my ears because she started coughing uncontrollably... '

'Tisoy... I'm sorry.. sorry.. I shouldn't be complaining at all..'

'Its okay Maine.. it feels good sometimes to get it out of my chest. And able to share it with you, makes me feel a bit lighter. That it's fine if I still feel these emotions, it grounds me. And like I said some delays are a blessing. This entire period of my life, I had to wait.. patiently legitimately wait. And it prepared me for the painful and hard road to my career. You know it wasnt an easy job , and had I not found God and learn to be happy with what I get, all these obstacles would have swallowed me in my first year'

'I'm happy for you 'Tisoy... You deserve all of this.. And if there is one lag in my life that I will never hate is...that
.. Despite all the heartbreaks and pain I had to endure, I'm glad my love life did not move forward. Cause it got held up at the customs, and when i finally got cleared, you were there waiting for me. And that's the best thing ever.

'I'm glad too Maine that I decided not to jump into relationships for just the sake of it. I delayed it purposely, and still ended up with the best person in the whole world. Nice guys finish last is not always true '

'Guess that means we love delays after all'

(Disclaimer: The events that I mentioned for A are not in any way fact. They may or may not have occurred.  This is just me thinking as to what he 'may' have endured during this traumatic time of his life. Same goes for Maine. Only these two know their feelings best. We can only guess 😃)
