Warning medyo mahaba siya.
Backstory muna:
Di ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko. Isa siya sa mga guys na I grew up with all over. Parents namin know each other from their work (same organizations kasi). We went to the same schools, our siblings are each others friends. At one point ng teen ako naging crush ko siya, and we did slightly date, pero early in the relationship we decided na it was better to stay friends than have that possibility na masira pa ang pagkakaibigan namin. So it was amicable.
Fast forward ng sa University kami, at one of the many college parties drunk him said “I love you” to me, pero since lasing si kuya dedma ako, at ang kala ko para yun sa isa sa common friend namin na crush niya (ako wingman niya).
After college, we followed our parent’s footsteps, and by some stroke of luck we got assigned to the same country, iba nga lang ang functions ng work namin but we worked for the same organization. I watched him get shot down by so many girls it was always a fun topic to piss him off. Eventually I had to return sa Pinas dahil nagkasakit ang mom ko, and since kami 2 lang ng kuya ko, at ako ang babae, I had to return (no choice diba?).
He did get married soon after with a wonderful woman, si ate halfbreed (si kuya halfbreed din naman...oo parang aso/pusa lang...halfbreed lol). Professional din si ate, and he met her when he visited his family dito sa Pinas way back when (sa Puerto Galera of all places >.>). They got married sa US (dahil gusto ni girl), pero they also had a ceremony here para sa family nila na di makapunta dun. I went to both.
Fast forward 15 years (guess niyo age ko...hahaha). Nag vacation si kuya, nagparamadam sa lahat ng mga kababata niya na andito sa pinas at nag yaya mag reunion. So ako naman si shunga, excited na makita si kuya, gorabells. So eto na nga, madamidami rin ang nagpakita, kain kain, inom, nag kamustahan sa mga buhay, at anak, sino pa din ang single (di ba ganun naman pag reunion? Hahaha). Nalaman ni kuya na single nga ako, so he puts me aside and talks to me, may sasabihin daw siya sa akin.
Ako si di walang iniexpect, gorabells sa tabi. Usap usap ng konti kamustahan sa buhay at sa career...and boom! “I never stopped loving you” ang sabi sa akin. Obviously may awkward silence, when I collected my jaw from the floor, sabi ko sa kanya, “OMG, you’re drunk, hahaha I love you too.” Another boom ulit...di daw siya lasing. He’s been sober for 3+ years na, after his divorce with his ex-wife a couple of years back, yung drink niya na hawak ay tonic, di ako naniwala so I take a sip, tonic water nga. What follows next is sorta embarrassing...but I just left. Nag fake call ako from my mom kuno, na pinapauwi na ako, I took my leave and told everyone next time ulit, sa bahay naman namin.
Kaninang umaga pa umiikot ulo ko. Naka ilang text at miscalls na din siya sa akin, even got one of my(our) besties to call me and ask how I was doing. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganito pa din ako. I once told myself na I’ll be ready once established na ako sa career ko, and to be fair established na established na siya, pero nawindang ako sa sinabi ni kuya, parang it’s not enough ang iniisip ko pag dating sa career ko.
I think I may still have feelings for him, and I can’t ask advice from my mom dahil alam ko isa lang ang sasabihin niya, ganun din malamang sasabihin ng dad ko. Ang circle of friends ko naman parang mga sira. Feel nila nasa isang love story ako, bumalik sa pagka bata, sarap pagtatampalin.
Mga girls ng PHC, anong gagawin niyo sa ganitong sitwasyon? Sa mga boys, role change na lang kayo, para maka relate hehehe.
