lost Signs

*Ring of School bell*

"Class dismiss" my 2nd teacher finally Announced
i immediately run through the bathroom but someone is already in the line so while i was waiting for my turn i saw a writing on the wall it says "Ang hirap mabuhay" i don't know but i quickly grab my pen and replied on the wall

"its your choice whether to make life hard or not"

I don't usually commit vandalism but that one caught my attention.

nakakatawa lang.

"hey courtney! tara na sa canteen" My friend Kenzie called.

while we are at the canteen i open up the scenarion kanina.

"i saw a graffiti on the wall saying 'ang hirap mabuhay'." i said then he gave me a -then what- look

"I replied and write also on the wall, its funny but i think that person has a serious problem" i continued then kenzie smiled a little.

"maybe that person is just expressing, yung tipong walang masulat ganun trip lang" he said while slightly laughing.

"Hmmmm. maybe"

(The next day)

Before going to my next class i go to the bathroom, i was  on entering but a writing on the wall caught my attention again .. I saw a reply, that person also replied and it says

"Thank you for the advice. who are you?"

Its not something important but its kinda interesting.

"Welcome! live life to the fullest.. jst call me your Angel 😊" Its childish and ridiculous. so maybe that person will not reply anymore.

but as days passed by the convo between me and the person behind the graffiti continued. The conversation is much more sweeter this time.

Iba yung concern niya saken, Dunno if that person is a HE or SHE pero naramdaman kong mahalaga ako. na mag nagawa akong makabuluhan.

"I owe you my life my angel"

Many people Saw our convo on the wall and write their side comments saying:

"Destiny na ba yan?"
"Omg. Parang wattpad"
"school sweethearts" and such.

but i don't mind them.

"Sino ba yan? bakit di mo tanungin?" kenzie asked
"Dunno who baka di na siya magreply pag tinanong ko" i replied.
"May pinaghihinalaan ka na ba kung sino?" He asked in a kinikilig tone
"Oo meron I think its Ron from Biology class" i said while smiling.
"pano mo naman nasabi?" he asked.
"Signs" i replied, i really believed in signs
" and what kind of signs naman ?" he asked again.
"Na yung unang tao na makikita ko around the cr siya yung guy na yun and guess what? paglabas ko ng cr siya yung nakita ko" i replied.

"ahh! " he said tapos nagpaalam na siya na pupunta siyang library.

i went again on the bathroom again hoping to see a reply and as i went through i was not disappointed.
" I know you"
I was shock and quickly write a reply
"Classmate ba kita? if oo saan?"
"male kaba o female?"
"anong hobbies mo?"
My continous unanswered questions

After class i went through the bathroom again and saw a reply from that same person.

" yup classmate kita sa biology"
"Im a male student"
"probably playing drums"

My signs are right! Ron is also in my biology class and he also love playing drums.

I just cant imagine that i fall for someone whom i can only talk to in the wall.

I stalk on ron for many months and even tried to talk to him pero di ko magawa.

Nagsulat ako sa wall na magkita kami sa Park around 7 pm. Bukas, i honestly want to really meet him and talk to him

At later nung binalikan ko yun pinuntarahan na ng panibago kaya nawala na Hindi ko na nakita kung nagreply siya sa huli kong sinabi.

One last Sign. kapag pumunta siya, SIYA NA TALAGA

-PARK-
I was waiting for him at the park, thinking if im ready..
what can i say?
am i prepared?
Baka maturn off siya?
SANA Mameet ko na siya
that man behind the words in the wall.

I saw someone coming and my smile reach heaven when i saw ron riding on his motorcycle and heading on my spot.

"uy? musta" tanong niya nung tumigil siya harapan ko.
"Okay lang anong ginagawa mo dito?" I asked while hiding my kilig 😋

"May inaantay lang ikaw ?" He replied. and basically i was very excited and overwhelmed sa narinig ko.

"Teka? nabasa mo yung sulat ko sa wall?" i asked then binigyan niya ko ng -what look-

"anong sulat? Wait! there she is alis na ko bye!" then pumunta na siya dun sa babae na dumating ..and obviously that girl is his Girlfriend.

what just happen? am i some kind of ASSUMERA or what?
Mali ang signs? I thought thats the beginning and i thought i already found that someone.
tears just fall down in my eyes.

then suddenly, someone hand me a handkerchief.
I quickly look up and saw kenzie

"Kanina ka pa?"- he asked, then he rubbed my tears away.

"Bakit alam mong nandito ako?" i asked, because as a matter of fact wala akong pinagsabihan and wala na masyadong tao dito sa park pag 7 pm na.

"Kasi sabi mo meet tayo dito ng 7 pm" He replied, it shook me and i didn't realize that he is always there for me whenever or what ever the circumstances are.

"Teka? bakit ikaw ?" I said whilemaking myself calm.

"classmate kita sa biology class diba?" He said sarcastically.
"Oo nga pala! Nagdadrums ka ?" i said

"Yup at ako ang natuturo kay ron mag drums" He said while smiling. which also made me smile😊😊

i was speechless and overwhelmed.

"Its nice to know that my Bestfriend and LONG TIME CRUSH would also be my Angel.. Could i live my life to the fullest with you?"  He continued While holding my hands.

"Yes!" I replied.

That day and that experience showed me that your signs may not be as clear as your expectation but true love will  lead this signs and make the move for you to understand where to go and where to continue, it will lead you to the right path where everything will be worth fighting for you just got to believe. Open your heart and see the magic once you start searching.
