Beki, Beki, Bakit Tayo Gumawa?

PROMOTION

Hi readers...

So ayun na nga, after a year I've decided to update this story. I suffered from a writer's block for a long time and I can't believe I'm starting to get over it. Kaya naman, I'll try to update more of this story from time to time while I'm writing a new one.

Ta-da! I have a new story published and it has ten chapters already. Ayoko pa sana i-publish but I might get lazy kung itatambak ko lang 'to sa storage ng computer at baka mabulok pa. I'm balancing work and daydreaming for scenarios kaya bear with me. Haha. Minsan nga nag-ddaydream na ako habang gumagawa ng paperworks.

Thank you for sticking up with me and patiently waiting. I'll try my best and work even more harder.

You can read excerpts from the story just after the picture.

THANK YOU! I've never felt so humbled my whole life because of the appreciation and words of encouragement.

PURRO: Your not so Ordinary Love Story

PROLOGUE

No matter what happens, people would always ask for more. As life goes on, we might get greedier kaya naman kahit anong gawin natin, we can never be satisfied. Sa sobrang gusto nga nating maging perpekto sa kahit saang aspeto ng buhay ay lumalabas na ang mga ideas ng time machine and time travelling para lang baguhin ang nakaraan or magawan ng paraan para maging maganda ang future. But if it really is possible, will it be worth it? You think so?

Regrets. One word but it can eat your entire soul up. Once you've let it sink deeper into your system, humanda ka na because it'll be hard to get yourself together again. But it can't be helped, life is too unfair for anyone to handle. If you start feeling guilty about one thing then might as well feel the shame of being actually born into this world. Life and regret - though we don't really like the idea - comes hand in hand.

As long as we live, there's remorse – a never ending one.

Happiness. One word but it's too impossible to reach. How can someone define real happiness when it's not really felt by anyone? Well, maybe there's some but they cannot even explain the exact feeling of being happy.

It's a word that's both unexplainable and unreachable. We live to catch happiness but we will die without even realizing if we have found it or not.

But what if one day, the fantasy of being able to have a chance or shot to renew your past was made possible, would you grab it? Would you change anything even though it might affect your present and future? Would you do things to emancipate yourself from the regrets of your past? Would you be able to find happiness in that way?

Actually, that's my case and I don't really know what I would do.

I bet you would go ballistic if you were in my shoes.

Since highschool ay isolated ako, bullied. Purro is not really my name, pero dahil super sikat siyang hog feed up to this date kahit wala na sila sa market, yun na ang tawag sa akin ng mga tao. Yes, you guessed it right, I'm obese. I weighed 58 kilograms when I was eight years old and never akong pumayat, my weight is just increasing throughout the years, same as my age.

Oo masakit when they call me names pero later on I learned to accept it. Being judgmental must really be a part of human nature, innate na yun so we can't do anything about it. May mga tao lang talaga na kagaya ko, madaling i-judge kasi not pleasant to the eyes.

The moment he walked past me, pakiramdam ko nalunod ko sa pabango. Grabe yung amoy niya, kahit na sobrang lakas ay hindi masakit sa ilong. Pabango niya pa lang pang-executive na. Shemay.

I was distracted by his smell that I forgot to focus on my dessert. Siya na yata ang makakagaling sa katakawan ko. Imagine, kinalimutan kong may pagkain sa harap ko dahil sa sobrang bango niya?

~♦~    

"Fuck." Hindi ko na pinigilan ang sarili kong magmura.

ANONG GINAGAWA NAMIN DITO???

"Why?"

"We're back in 2002." I gave him a lifeless answer while giving him my phone.

"You've got to be kidding me." He said sardonically then jolted up again and ran down the flight of stairs for the second time.

~♦~      

"Bakit hindi mo ako binilihan?" Reklamo ko sa kanya. "Pera ko yan di ba?"

"Nagpabili ka ba? Hindi naman di ba?" He replied, with his statue features. "I'll pay you back in time." He shrugged then poured some catsup between the burger buns.

~♦~        

"Yes?" Tumigil ako sa paglalakad and came back to look at him. He's smirking.

"I know you're interested but I already have a girlfriend." Smug niyang sabi sa akin. I scoffed at his statement.

"Blanc?" I called him out again, seeking for revenge.

"I might ask more questions regarding your family but just so you know, you're way below my ideal type. Ipakasal ko pa kayo ng girlfriend mo bukas." I smiled at him pero hindi pa rin maalis sa boses ko yung pagkainis. I heard him laughed.

"Me? Way below your ideal type?" He laughed again, he's already wiping tears off his eyes. "Ang ganda mo ha."

"Whatever, mabulunan ka sana ng ice cream." I shouted at him before storming back to my room while he's out there, laughing out loud.
