30 DAYS

Under the full moon night sky, the cold breeze of the air brushed through my skin as he held my hands.

He stated, "for 30 days, please be mine... Will you be my girlfriend?"

Looking at his handsome face with pleading eyes, I realized that life's testing me for a good-looking man to stare at me like this.

"How can I say no?" I asked.

"Then, is it a yes?" He asked back.

I nodded as an answer.

Because of joy, he hugged me. Thus, I can hear his heart beating fast while we're hugging.

I still question myself why did he choose me to be his girlfriend when there are better women than me out there. However, the times I've spent with him made me realized that the woman he wanted was me. He made me realized that being loved and being in love is wonderful, and on the other hand, being hurt and rejected is a part of human life cycle, and that's okay.

He made believed in the true meaning of love once again. I was always rejected, thrown away, and disregarded, but with him, my heart is so full of love.

He's the one that made my black-and-white life colorful. Hindi ko kailanman naranasan na may nagmamahal sa 'kin o naibabalik ang pagmamahal ko sa kanila, sa kaniya lang.

Nagbalik ulit ang sigla sa aking buhay; naniwala at nagtiwala ulit ako sa salitang "pagmamahal", ngunit, mukhang sinusubukan ulit ako ng tadhana sa isang pangyayaring hindi ko inaasahan...

With this, will I continue to believe or will I just give up?
