He's the One

I can’t say that it was love at first sight for I have known him for about three or four months. I knew what he looks like through his pictures in Facebook but I never saw him personally before when we were communicating through phones ‘til one day, the day I saw him personally for the first time. We’re now in relationship for 4 years and 2 months. I still remember the day we first met each other. It’s kind of an awkward but let me tell you.

 We were in 4^th year high school.  My best friend, texted me one night and said that this guy who was bothering her. It was her ex-boyfriend. In that time, she got her new boyfriend. I told her that let me have his number so I can pretend that I am her boyfriend and so she did. I texted the guy right away, and said that leave my best friend alone. As we exchange conversations, he noticed that I was a girl. He didn’t get mad at me and said that if he was in my place, he would also do what I did. I told him that this could not happen if he just leaves my best friend alone after their break up. He told me that it’s not that easy. I told him that I was sorry for my actions; he replied that it was fine it was his fault.

After that night, we exchanged information about ourselves. What were our favorite food, cartoon, color, and many more. After a month, I knew something was strange. I always check my phone if there was a text message from him. I just realized that I missed him. I told myself this was wrong. He was my best friend’s ex-boyfriend. My phone vibrated, it was him. I felt like there were butterflies inside my tummy. I got excited to read his message. Day by day, I always hold my phone so if he texted me, I can reply right away. One night, he sent me a message saying he wants to say something about us. Wild thoughts were running inside my head and I’m a bit nervous that time. My phone vibrated, a message popped out. “Di ko alam kung ano ginawa mo saken, pero sa tingin ko gusto na kita”, he said. I can’t help myself to smile. He has the same feeling towards me. I grabbed the chance to tell him what I also felt towards him. “Talaga? Ganun na din ako sayo. Sorry ha?” I told him I was sorry because I knew this was wrong, that what I felt for him was wrong. But deep inside, I was really glad that we have understanding. We have this agreement not to tell anyone until the right time.

Three months later, we know this is the time we must see each other and tell our friends that we mutually understood each other. Before we confess what our status were in that time to our friends, I was asked by one of my friend to come with her to buy food so I joined her. I informed him about that. He also knew who was I am with.  He didn’t texted me where he was that time. We were about to go downstairs when we met halfway. He, together with his friend, was going back to their room from the comfort room. “Ikaw ba si Ciari?” I was shocked to see him nearly, like it was just a foot rule far from him. Words didn’t come out from my mouth, I was so shy. I bowed down my head and then walked out like it never happened. I texted him right away after I went back to my humanly being. I told him I was sorry for not giving out attention for I was so shy. He said that it was fine for that was the first time we’ve met.

So that is how my boyfriend and I started our journey. I’m just glad that I met him. Until now, I don’t know what I like about him. It's like my feelings just popped out off my chest and said he’s the one.
