'What is love' I mouth reading a question from a book. How can I answer that.

What is love? It is trendy to have a boyfriend or girlfriend at 12 years of age, but is it love? Is it love when you change a lover every two months?

I am Kathrina, a simple minded girl, the quite one who believes in chivalry, romance and love, but for me love is so diverse and manifold and is often lonely.

I'm often bullied because I'm so old-fashioned, Until that day come....

His name is Hare and he stand up for me against the bullies, He's my savior I thought

Lagi niya akong binabati, makulit siya hanggang sa dumating na sabi niya gusto niya ako and nanligaw nga siya saken.

One week pass and I fell in love with him, Gusto ko na siyang sagutin. Nakipagkita ako sa kanya noon nung araw nayon.

Naghihintay ako sa Garden ng school namin, 30 minutes na kaya nag-aalala na ako sa kanya, sinuot ko ang pearl na hikaw na galing pa sa lola ko para lang sa araw na ito, nag-ayos ako sa sarili.

Lumipas ang isang oras at dun lamang sya dumating, magulo ang buhok at mukhang galit.

"A-andito ka na pala.." mahinang wika ko sabay tayo ng nakayuko.

"What do you want?" He asked with an arrogant tone, I was shocked for a moment.

"Yes, I'm willing to be your girlfriend already.." One week? Masyado akong marupok para sa isang old-fashion na babae.

"What?! You're willing to be my girlfriend?! Edi sana kahapon mo pa ako sinagot para di ako natalo sa pustahan!" Sunod-sunod na lintaya nya ng pasigaw what? So pustahan lang ganun?

"Ano?! Anong pustahan?!" Tanong ko din ng pasigaw.

"You made me lose, 1 million and a sports car! You know!" Galit din niyang sigaw so talagang pustahan lang lahat.

"You're so old fashion, a boring naive girl, who would like you? It was all a deal! Face the reality!" mahabang lintaya niya na nagpaguho sa mundo ko, tama siya

Who would like such a boring girl like me?

Who would like such an old soul like me?

Who would like to dare to talk to me?

Who would love someone from a broken family?

Love is just a piece of game to him.

Months pass, and I still didn't get over him. I changed the way I dress, I change my hobbies, I started to put make ups, I started to make friends and I even started clubbing means I changed myself. I want to revenge.

No one recognizes me, and a lot didn't even know the old me existed. Some people who bullied me from the past, started to be friend with me,

Habang nakikipag-usap ako sa sa mga 'friends' tungkol sa gagawing party mamayang gabi ay nahagip ng mata ko si Hare, tss, Nerd naman ang target niya ngayon?

"Girls, alis muna ako huh?" paalam ko sabay tayo

"Pupunta ka bang CR? Sabay na ko"

"Magreretouch ako e"

"I'll check my cleavage if the contour is still clear."

Sunod-sunod na wika nila, minsan talaga gusto kong bumalik sa dating ako.

"No, but you can follow me" Lintaya ko. Para may audience namn sa pagpapahiya ko kay Hare diba?

Pumayag naman sila at nagtungo na kami sa kinatatayuan nila Hare.

"Hey, babe! You said we'll go on a date!" pagfiflirt tone ko, natuto na akong makipagflirt sa panonood palang sa mga 'kaibigan' ko.

"W-what?" nalilitong wika ni Hare habang ang babae ay namumula na sa hiya, at inis. Ok lang kahit magmukha akong kontrabida, nililigtas ko sya aber!

"D-dun m-muna a-ako..." Nauutal na wika nung babae, Go girl! Bago ka pa masaktan!.

"What the?!" Galit na wika ni Hre, huh! Karma is a bitch!

"Oh! Did you just lost One million? And a sports car?" I said in a sarcastic tone.

"You!" Dinuduro niyang wika.

"You deserve that!

You deserve that because you mess with someone's feelings!

You deserve that because you think love is just a deal you play!

You deserve that because you made someone cry!

You deserve that because you killed chivalry!"

Mahabng lintaya ko kasabay ng sunod-sunod na duro sa dibdib niya. He deserve it. He killed chivalry.

Naglalakad na ako palayo sa lugar na iyon ng nakita kong ang isang lalaki, matalim ang tingin niya sakin, he looks at me like he can see-through my soul. He's creepy.

"Hey Girl! Wait for us!" Sigaw ng isa sa mga 'kaibigan' ko.

"Don't. Don't follow me" Hindi ko alam bakit ako kinabahan sa mga titig ng lalaki.

Babalik na sana ako sa klase ko ng madaanan ko ang library, ang lugar kung saan ako ay ako. Ang lugar kung saan ako masaya.

"Why not enter?" Someone ask me but I didn't look at him.

"No, the old me already died" Sagot ko. I miss her.

"Because you killed her" He said and that struck me, making me turn around and look at him.

Siya yung lalaki kanina, matangkad, sopistikado, maayos ang pananamit, para siyang si Juanito Alfonso.

"This is me now, the modern version" I fake laugh, pinapakaba ako ng mga titig niya.

"It's the worst version of you" He said nonchalantly. And that struck me hard, I lost myself.

"Stop being miserable" He said calmly and kissed my forehead and there I know I met my Juanito.

Chivalry is not dead, I just dated an a$$hole. Love is being yourself not losing yourself. Don't let a heartbreak make you lose yourself.
