When I Met You

When I Met You- Chapter 9

CHAPTER 9:

After a few weeks, Superman didn't answer my texts, after that night. Natuloy din yung Debate kahit wala ako, nanalo naman si Brian kahit siya lang magisa. I never felt something na nahihiya or what sakanya na nanalo siya kahit wala ako. All i think is, someone gave me roses everyday, someone's senting me a sweet messages and he named himself as a superman that can never reveal himself, until One day, I gave my time to someone who's courting me whatever, na hindi ko siya nabigyan ng time when he needed me, I felt guilt for that. Everyday, every hour, every minute, every second. I'm waiting, hoping and checking if he did reply. Now, I realized that he's fake. yea, superman is fake. He only exist in movies. Freakin yeah, All Boys are fake. fake. fake.

"No roses?"

"None."

"Im sorry."

"Erika, You've been there for me for almost 5 years, you're the only person I knew that will never ever leave me. And I'm lucky to have you......bes."

She hugged me tight, and kiss my side of my head.

I knew, on that 3 weeks, that superman courted me, gave me roses or shitty text messages. I fuckin' fall in love. I dont know why, I dont how. But all i know, I fall again, at sahig lang talaga ang makakasalo sakin.

"Hoy." Someone touched my shoulder. and when I looked up, its Brian.

"Oh."

"Nasan si Anthony?"

"Ewan ko. Dont talk to me."

"Sunget."

"I'm not, I just....wanna be alone."

"Talagang apektado ka padin dun sa Debate, hindi mo matanggap na mas magaling ako sayo."

"Please?" I rolled my eyes.

"Si Anthony ba?"

I just looked away.

"Tell me."

No, ever. The last time we talked real, it's fake. Yea, all boys are fake fake fake.

"None. It's just, Boys are fake."

"So, It's Anthony uh?"

"I dont know, but All boys are fake."

"Nah, there's always the one, na magpapatunay sayo na hindi lahat parepareho ang inaakala mong parepareho."

Yan na naman siya. Nagpapaka melodramatic na naman, tapos hindi naman totoo.

"Anthony's a great man. if he did something wrong or bad to you, he didnt mean it." He continued.

Umalis siya, ng hindi man lang tumingin sakin. Akala niya, si Anthony yung pnproblema ko. Psh.

After I got home, Anthony called me.

Anthony: Hey, Im sorry if I didnt texted or called you. I got busy from my thesis, Im sorry. I love you.

Me: That's okay.

Anthony: You're not okay, Im really really sorry.

Me: Tapos na ba yung thesis mo?

Anthony: Yeah, ikaw?

Me: I'm actually, but i dont know how to start. I dont know.

Anthony: Kaya mo yan okay? I love you Rheinalyn Valencia, and I'll always do that.

Me: Well then, thankyou.

Im so exhausted, i want to sleep. So binaba ko na yung phone without saying goodbye. I never expect na tatawag si superman or what.

I woke up with a swollen eyes. I dreamed of him. I miss him. I love him. I really love him!!!! I started to cry. I think Papa heared me, kaya pumasok siya sa kwarto ko, without knocking.

"What just happened?" He hugged me tight.

"Terrible dream."

"Yea? About what?"

"I really love him, i want him back. I wanna see him." I screamed.

"Soon, he'll be back soon my dear. All you have to do is trust again, trust. Dont be afraid to love again. Forget your past, forgive, and love again."

That made me cry harder.

"Im sorry Papa. Im so sorry."

"So do I, I love you." He kissed the top of my head.

I decided not to go to school, i want to have a movie marathon with my dad. So we can make up with each other.

"Are you sure kiddo?"

"Oo naman."

"Twilight sounds exciting."

"I watched it for almost two- hundred times. I wanna go in............The Iron Man III sounds devastating."

He made popcorn and sandwiches. Its really awesome day for us.
