Broken Promises (MayWard) - Completed

Chapter 47

Edward's POV
× × ×

Coach called us, being part of the committee, to his office - for brainstorming and rehearsals daw. The school is preparing another show, as per usual. I miss this whole thing. Ever since they used my scribbles for play, I fell in love with theatre too. But yeah, I love acting even more after I've been cast once.

The last time I did a play? It was with Maymay. Indeed, the most memorable one. If I were to realize, it was actually the first major play I've been into. Nakakamiss. Anyway, so yeah, I'll be sseing the rest of the previous cast at Coach's office tonight. In high hopes, I hope she'll come too. I'm so freaking excited.

Later on, I arrived first. Excited talaga eh.

After a few hours of waiting, finally they're coming in already. I missed​ everyone​ even those people I'm not really that close to - but if there's someone I missed the most, of course, it's her.

"Si Marydale, anong balita sakanya? Darating kaya?" Coach came in and asked me. I shrugged. I honestly don't even know where she is. At this point, he's barking at the wrong tree.

"Opo, coach. Sinundo lang ni Russell." Tristan said. Aha! Buti pala sila, they know where to find her. I don't have any idea on what she's up to 'cause she said she'll surprise me daw on when she'll come back. But nahhh, I'm expecting to see her here. I know she can't miss this. Nasabi na din lang ni Tristan, so yeah, I'll see her in a few. Hayy, finally.

"Osige, bongga naman! Kunin niyo na scripts. Inaasahan ko kayo lahat ha?" Coach distributed a copy of the script to each of us.

My heart's beating faster as the clock ticks. I want to see her right now, so bad. My eyes are glued on the main door waiting to see her. I can feel butterflies in my stomach already.

"Pre, kabado ka no? Alam ko di niya sinabing darating siya pero para ready ka, oo mamaya andito na siya." Ford tapped my shoulder. "Miss na miss yun, sigurado!" He added.

"Yeah, for sure. How long has it been? Three years? I definitely missed her." I sighed. Tagal din pala. Ugh, again, finally.

"Kaya nga, bro. Tibay niyo rin! Naka-ilang jowa na ako sayo siya lang sa tatlong taon. Hahaha pero wala, mas mahal niya kesa sa'yo  eh." He laughed.

"Well, I agree. She has to." I said. And yeah, I respect that. I gave her my full support for that.

Yes, Maymay and I have not seen each other for three freaking long years. It was so damn hard!  Being in a long distance relationship for three years is really awful, I must say. We only get to communicate through video calls and text messages. Even though how I badly wanted to hug and kiss her, I couldn't. It was a rollercoaster ride. There were days we couldn't even find time to even send messages to each other. There were days where we fight over little things. We experienced a lot more of the downsides of having a set-up like that.

But somehow, we did it. We made it work. We both believe that it's always between the two persons in it if they would choose to work it out. And yes, we chose to.

After we graduated from college, she pursued her dream as a theatre actress by going to different​ places in the Philippines for shows. She's got some out of the country trips too 'cause she has modelling as another profession. I couldn't contest about it. Why would I anyway? That's true, it's her calling, I believe. I gave her my all out support in these decisions she chose for her life. I guess, that's just how it is. As long as the love between us stays, it shouldn't matter.

Well me, I have dedicated myself to charity works. I've been traveling back and forth to Germany to assist my dad in handling the organization that he has founded about a few years ago. So yeah, with the Bachelor's and Masteral degrees I had in business, I was able to help him. I was busy just as she was but we made sure to always keep our love alive. We don't need daily assurances anyway. We just know that we'll gonna be together again someday. Too ideal for most, yet possible. And yeah, today's the day!
