My Gift

Before Anything Else

Before anything else, I just want a quick... quick... note (turned out it wasn't quick after all. I'm so sorry)

This is going to be angsty as i said earlier.

Just wanna say a few things before i get on with this.

First of all, i respect LA and Dennise' relationship and their engagement. I'll never lie. I was once that dumb kid who ships AlyDen so bad and wanted them to be together. Si Den pa noon and Myco (so yeah 😅 sobrang tagal right?). But to tell you honestly, nung naging sila ni LA... kahit sa loob-loob ko sabi ko, di naman gwapo! Di sila bagay; never ko naisip na hindi totoo yung feelings ni Den for LA and now that i've matured i can see how happy she is with him and how much she loves him that much to say she'll choose LA over volleyball (i'm not pressed. Promise). I actually admire LA. For sure hindi bago sa kanya na nilalait sya sa social media. But damn, he knows how to keep a girl that guy. They stayed lowkey which is amazing knowing how almost everyone seems to be blinded by 'relationship goals'. And now he put a ring on it and he's so lucky. But i bet Dennise feels even luckier kasi well, LA seems to be a nice guy. So, everything i'll say in this won't mean hindi ko nirerespeto sila okay? I do. And i hate that no matter how solid alyden shipper i am, i couldn't find a reason to hate LA and really... its such a great thing.

Second, I may have theories going on in this head of mine. I won't say it out loud because that'll just cause trouble. Pero for this story's sake, its all about... Dennise being the transparent, very vocal one (despite being private) and Alyssa being the secretive, kinda mysterious one of the two. Hindi ko na dadagdagan. I'll leave it like that.

Third... I respect LaDen. I admire them. But never the KL 😊. Alam ko may mga kokontra. Pero for me its just that... I respect her decision to stay but never the relationship. Okay 😌

Fourth. As much as ginagalang ko yung ibang writers who give up writing alyden because of Den's engagement, i just think na... hindi necessary na dahil gumagawa ka ng fictional story about alyden doesn't mean na hindi mo na ginagalang yung reality na Den is ikakasal na kay LA. Like I always say, I've shipped AlyDen for almost seven years. Sobrang tagal na to the point na hindi ko talaga makaya? Physically, sobrang sakit sa ulo, sa puso and i got this feeling in my gut na ang sakit everytime i try to "un-ship" them. Its just... physically impossible.

Fifth, alyden or not, writing is always been a reality escape for me. I actually wrote soooooo many fanfics or just stories but never had the nerve to publish them. Im a very private person na even yung thoughts ko or opinion ko minsan ayoko iparinig or ayoko malaman ng iba... do i make any sense?? Pero yun. Some stories na ginagawa ko for my eyes only. Those stories are for my eyes only and this is one of the rare times na i got to share my stories.

Then, just a funny thing. I published a story about a LA's proposal and Den rejected him and Ly finally got the nerve to confess to her. But sadly, that is not the case. But i'm not gonna take down that story. Again, reality escape. Pero hindi naman to the point na magiging delusional na and maniniwala na ako sa fiction and kakalimutan ang reality. No... its just my escape.

Last 😂, may part ng story na to actually na magtatackle sa... isang private story ko. Its a full blast fanfiction with Original Characters and stuff plus with Dennise not being a Lazaro (iykwim). Pero hindi ko ilalabas.. yung story na yun cause that's just hilarious and weird and dumb... just like me, hehe. But my story Brave One (hindi ko inaadvertise ☺) is a version of it. Brave One is actually a drabble for that hilarious private fanfic i was talking about and its a total opposite 😄 ng nangyari sa version ng wattpad na Brave One. Pero dito, may cameo si totoong Brave One Alyssa and Dennise. So bear with me.

Okay.

DISCLAIMER:

I don't claim to know the characters here personally not met them briefly to say that everything in this short fic will be true. I don't claim to know the dynamics of AlyDen's friendship. Anything about my take on Alyssa's sexuality here doesn't reflect on her real sexuality. Sexuality of a person in general is no one's business. This is just a product of my imagination. And I'm sorry if meron man ako'ng ma-offend here. Jusy know na hindi ko sinasadya.

Oh my God. Pasensya na. Umabot ng 800 words 😅

Okay! Stert na stert
