“I believe that true love exists and I believe that love conquers all. They are all possible. Loving another person is also an acceptance of another human being. True love and acceptance are perfectly the same world thing. I said then my classmates are clapping. Then I shocked when Paul stand to his chair and give his opinion again.
When we say love, it is having a deep affection for someone. Acceptance? Well, I don’t think so. When other says “It was love at first sight” I doubt it is. I think it was really a deep affection. For me, it was “lust at first sight”. Nowadays, the relationship was based on looks only, and not only on character traits. Paul said sabay apir sa katabi niya na akala mo panalo na sila sa debate. At dahil dun biglang nag-usok ang tenga ko (not literal).
You’re selfish Mr. Dizon!! Not all passionate feelings is not tainted by selfish desire. Some girls believe in boys because of love, because of respect. But unfortunately, some boys take advantages on this kind of situation. They like wearing their favourite shirt but later on, if they realized that it is no longer needed and not already unique they will throw it anyway. If you want to find the definition of true love, kindly read the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13. True love is a choice. It is not selfish. I said habang nakangiti, then all girls says yahoo with matching clap.
Then Paul started to talk again. Wala talaga sa vocabulary niya ang magpatalo. Ideally yes, but arguably no. Hmm. According to the context of romantic true love, the two people will feel highly attracted to each other based on a combination of hormones and neurotransmitter that active their reward centers of their brain, leading of feelings of attachment to each other. The level of oxytocin released is proportional to the levels of attachment they have for each other. He said habang hindi inaalis ang tingin saken. His looks unreadable at ang mas lalo kong ikinagulat ang titanong niya.
Why Miss Acosta, do you already fall in love to say that ha?? He questioned. Now I realized, lahat ng mata nakatingin samen na para bang nanonood ng sine at inaantay kung ano ang susunod na mangyayari.
After 3 minutes, dun lang nagsink-in sa utak ko ang tanong niya. I don’t know what I feel. Should I be happy because he know my surname and he already noticed me? Or should I be mad because as of now I cannot admit and tell to him that YES! I’m totally fall in love to him until now. For a long time. It’s because of him that why I believe in true love. It’s because of him why I continued answering our professor’s question. And it’s because of him! Because I want him to realize that it’s true. It’s because of him after all.
Well, I don’t think so Miss Acosta? He said while wearing his full smile and all the boys are laughing (including him).
It’s none of your business Mr. Dizon! I said in a sarcastic tone. And what if I say yes? What if I do? I stared at him. Then I realized that his eyes are also to mine. Then I continued. True love exists for those who chose it. Waiting is the only proof that you love someone. Waiting is a sign of true love and patience. Not all love will be returned in kind for a while and then the other person will fail dismally and betray us. And it doesn’t mean love was never real. It doesn’t mean it wasn’t enough. Waiting for someone is never easy especially when the one you’re waiting for isn’t aware that you’re waiting. So girls, be with someone you trust, respect and admire. Not love like a fool. I said habang nakatingin parin sa kanya at para bang pinapaalalahanan lahat ng babae dito loob ng room.
Okay, I think that’s all. Good job guys! Always remember that we are here because of love. Good bye class. See you around. Prof. Chua said then he left our room.
Canteen
Bading!!!!! Ano ginawa mo? Jacob asked. Pano ba naman kase Anna tells to him the whole story on what happened in our philosophy class.
Seriously? Mali ba yung ginawa ko? Did I do something wrong? I said while grabbing my lunch.
No. It’s right Belle, tama lang yun. Sa sitwasyon niyo nga parang ikaw pa yung inagrabyado dahil sa ginawa niya. –Julie.
Bakit ano bang ginawa niya? Jacob asked habang nakataas ang kilay.
Pinahiya lang naman si Belle sa buong klase. Tanungin ba naman si Belle kung nainlove na daw?! He’s a jerk. Pumapatol sa babae! Julie said eating her lunch also.
Talaga? E anong sabi mo? Gumanti ka ba? If I know hahahaha. –Jacob
Syempre sumagot si Belle, ikinagulat nga lahat yung sagot niya, parang may hugot lang friend? Ung totoo? Siya yung naiisip mo nung sumasagot ka noh? Anna said na habang nakatingin saken.
Kelangan may spokesperson si Belle? Hello? Siya yung tinatanong ko hindi kayo. Jacob said to them na nakapamay-awang habang namamaypay ang isang kamay. Ohmygod! Fafa Paul with his friend are here. Then, my eyes are searched to them if it is true. Minsan kase mahilig lang magloko si Jacob.
It is true! They are here. Wa epek kunwari! Naiinis talaga ako dahil sa ginawa niya, naiinis ako dahil sa tanong niya. Tinitiis kong hindi tumingin sa kanya right now dahil baka isang tingin niya lang saken mawala yung inis nararamdamn ko bumalik yung pagpapantasya ko sa kanya.
Bading! Bading! Jacob said habang hinahampas yung pamaypay sa lamesa pero I know ako yung tinatawag ng bading na ‘to but again, I didn’t choose to look at him baka kase di ko mapigilan tingnan si Paul. I continued eating lunch na lang.
Then someone talk, Sorry Ms Acosta for what happened later. Paul said habang nasa tapat ng lamesa namen.
Seriously? He said sorry for me? Wtf! Tell me, kukunin na ba ako ni Lord ngaun kaya yung wish ko dininig na niya? I said to myself. Then I nodded as a reply. Di ako makapagsalita. My jaw lack. Omg!
So, coffee later? My treat. Paul asked.
As a reply I nodded again.
So see you later after class. –Paul
See you. I said, finally.
After that nawala na siya sa paningin ko and also his friends.
Jacob, Anna, Julie and especially me are all in shocked. Then I see myself smiling.
