Journal by a Broken Heart

Seventh Entry

It was exactly 11:11 in the evening of January 14. I was talking to him, face to face, and paused for a little while.

I closed my eyes, and uttered a simple wish.

'I hope I could find the right one for me, and I hope, it's the very person beside me.'

At that very moment, Elijah hugged me, and whispered something in my ears.

"I love you, Fate. So much."

My heart fluttered at what he said. His effect on me is still the same, he never fails in making my thoughts go haywire.

"I love you, too." I whispered back, soft as a feather.

His eyes widened in schock, but there's undeniable glee in his eyes.

"Really? As in... r-really?" I saw how his tear dropped, as a sign of sincere happiness.

"Yes, babe." I told him a bit jokingly para pagaanin ang atmosphere. I don't want him to cry, kahit pa sa kadahilanang masaya siya.

"So, tayo na?" Di-makapaniwalang tanong niya.

"So, ayaw mo?" Mapagbiro kong sagot.

"Oh, god. I'm so happy right now, Fate. Thank you so much for trusting me with your heart. I won't break it, I promise."

He cupped my face, pulled me closer, and I experienced my sweet first kiss. Witnessed by the full moon and the bright stars, together with the hum of our delightful hearts.

Entry #7:

Moments are meant to be treasured. Things may not be the same again, but those times will forever be carved in our minds and hearts.

Sad moments keeps us to continue to learn, to be a better version of ourselves. No matter what happened in the past that hurt us, consider it as a lesson, to avoid another tortorous pain.

Happy moments must be kept. It keeps us sane during rough times. It adds up to our reasons to continue striving in life. It makes us believe, that no matter what happens, there would always be a rainbow after the storm. Afterall, life is not about waiting for the rain to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.
