HE DIDN’T CHEAT BUT HE STILL A TRAITOR
I’ve been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 3 years already.
I didn’t like him at first because we both came from the same circle of friends and having a relationship with one of my friends was extremely uncomfortable for me. But he was so determined to pursue me that he tried everything he could just to break down the walls I’d put up between us.
In the end, I still said yes to him.
We’ve been so consistent in our relationship kasi napaka-matured niya in everything. Hindi na namin pinag-aawayan ‘yong maliliit lang na bagay kasi alam naming lalaki lang ito lalo. We don’t want a messy kind of relationship that’s why, we are trying to do our best to make our relationship runs smoothly.
Our families, relatives, friends and people around us were just so supportive in our relationship.
“Sure ka na ba sa ‘kin?” I asked him all of a sudden.
Kita ko ang pagngisi niya bago siya magsalita. “Of course, you’re the only person in my life whom I am certain about. I can’t imagine my life without you, Anna.”
Upon hearing those words coming from him, it seems like a plethora of butterflies migrated to my stomach.
Noon, takot na takot ako magmahal ulit dahil sa trauma na ibinigay sa ‘kin ng past relationship ko. But now, hindi ko pinagsisihan na binuksan ko ulit ang puso ko sa lalaking ito.
“You know what… you are my cup of tea, babe. Hindi magbabago ang nararamdaman kong ito sa ‘yo. Pangako.” Napangisi ako sa sinabi niya.
God, napaka-corny talaga ng lalaking ‘to. Pero in fairness, kinikilig pa rin ako sa mga banat niya.
He then planted a soft kiss on my forehead as he hugged me tightly.
Our relationship is already on the level which is so hard to find nowadays. It was like an enormity of contentment. Wala na ata akong mahihilang pa. Kontento na kami sa isa’t isa.
Sigurado na ako sa kaniya at sigurado na rin siya sa ‘kin.
Time rolled up so fast. Naging busy kami sa kaniya-kaniya naming studies. He’s a psychology student while I’m an engineering student.
Our future was already all set. Gusto naming maabot muna lahat ng pangarap namin na magkasama bago kami magpatali sa isa’t isa.
“Bes, parang nakita ko ‘yong ex ni Robert,” agad na sambit ni Zoe.
Mariin akong napalunok dahil sa ibinalita sa ‘kin ni Zoe. Alam ko naman na wala dapat akong ipangamba dahil ako na ang mahal ni Robert, pero ‘di ko mapigilan… siya ang first love ng boyfriend ko at nagtagal sila ng limang taon.
I looked at her and gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, Zoe. Mahal ako ni Robert at alam kong hindi niya na mahal iyong ex niya.”
Hanggang pag-uwi sa tinutuluyan namin ay hindi ako nilubayan ng ex ni Robert. I don’t know. Wala naman siyang ginagawa sa ‘kin pero bakit parang takot na takot ako sa kaniya?
I just averted my attention at the thought of her and just continued writing my research paper as soon as I could.
Hindi ko na namalayan na nakatulog na ako bigla. Pagkagising ko ay tapos na kaagad iyong research na ginagawa ko.
He finished my research for me. He always did.
Damn, how lucky I am to have him in my life!
Gusto ko nga sanang magpatulong sa kaniya kagabi kasi magaling siya sa mga ganito at sobrang talino niya kaya lang naiisip ko na naman ‘yong ex niya.
Right after a few weeks, our relationship is still the same as before. It still went well.
He didn’t disappoint me. His actions always impress me that only means one thing… hindi niya na mahal ang ex niya dahil AKO na.
“Sasama ka mamaya sa lakad?” tanong niya sa ‘kin.
“Oo naman. Pero mauna kana papunta doon kasi parang mala-late ako,” sagot ko.
Tumango siya at lumapit sa ‘kin para halikan ako sa noo. “Okay, I’ll go now. I love you.”
He gave me a heart-warming smile once again before he leave.
Every end of the month, we were used to having a get-together with friends. It was like a reunion at every end of the month. Since everyone is already busy...
