He let me fly again .
He makes me feel loved again.
I fell inloved for the nth time again.
Unfortunately, I was broke into pieces again.
And this all happens for a big reason that will definitely change my life.
---------
" Kailan ka ba madadala? For pete's sake! Do you think na minahal ka talaga nung lalaking yun? Naya hindi ka nya ginawang girlfriend more on yaya and sponsor siguro pwede pa." Gel , my bestfriend said. I feel bad na ginalit ko na naman sya parang kapatid na ang turing ko sa kanya. He's overprotective pagdating sakin. Lalo na when love comes along the way.
I came from a broken family , and i think that is the reason why na uhaw ako sa pagmamahal. I want someone who will take care of me , who will greet me every morning and asking how's my day . So I tried a lot of relationships . But none of them makes me felt that I am loved.
Then I met Gel, my boy bestfriend, I met him when one of my boyfriend dumped me . He saw me crying over that guy then I didn't expect what he did next he punched that guy in front of me a lot of times. Nagtaka ako noong una cause I don't know him naman para gawin yun. Then the next thing he said makes me want him to know more as a brother or friend.
" Dude if you can't treat your girl as your girlfriend, then treat her as a woman. Pero depende din pala if you can't treat them in any of that. You're not a real man !"
Then he looked at me na parang pinapagalitan ako.
" And you , stand up. Walang rason para iyakan yang lalaking yan. He's not worthy of your tears. Get up! Come with me." He said directly to me without blinking.
Kinabahan naman ako. Para talaga syang tatay na nahuling nagboboyfriend ang anak nila.
" Why did you helped me? Do you even know me?" I asked nung makarating kami on the rooftop of our school .
" Alam mo , everyone knows you here. You're quite famous you know. " Then he smirked.
" Me!? But how? " Nagtataka kong tanong kasi naman all this time I looked myself as a normal student . Hindi ako famous , hindi rin ako matalino na laging panlaban sa iba't ibang contest as in normal student with a little bit complicated life.
" Ms. Hopeless Romantic." He said.
" What? "
" Kilala ka here as Ms. Hopeless Romantic. Di ka ba nagbabasa sa page ng school? You're famous at pinagtatawanan ka nila behind your back without you knowing. " He seriously said.
I blinked and still can't get over with that thought. Ms. Hopeless Romantic? Wow ha.
And that is our first meeting. I will admit na madami ng nalink sakin. Kung hindi M.U ,minsan hinaharot lang ako arg ! Pero yung iba nakakatuluyan ko naman but unfortunately walang tumagal. Hindi ko alam kung may mali ba sakin or mali lang talaga ako ng mga taong minamahal.
Mabilis akong mafall. Sobra. Once na pinakita mo sa akin na mahalaga ako sayo unti unti akong naattached sa tao. And that's my biggest weakness for me.
And katulad ng ibang stories ,common ang story ng buhay ko. I fell inloved with Gel. Pero di ko maamin kasi I don't want him to reject me. So binabaling ko na lang yung atensyon ko sa iba kaya parating failed. I want to gave up , but he's giving me a reasons na kahit papano baka may pagasa. The way he treats me sinong di mahuhulog?
And this time , I will take a risks. I will tell my feelings to him.

" Gel , can I talk to you for a while meet me on the rooftop . " I said before I dropped the call.
Di ko na inintay na sumagot sya. Nagtungo ako sa rooftop agad. Then a minutes passed by I heared a footsteps going to my direction. Its Gel.
" Why? Is there something wrong?" He asked.
" I have something to tell you. But promised me one thing. Kung di mo magustuhan ang sasabihin ko please don't leave me. "
" Sure. Ano ka ba , you've been my bestfriend and sister for a lot of years. Kahit ano yan tatanggapin ko. Pwera na lang kung nababaliw ka na naman a isang lalaki. Kikilatisin ko muna dapat ha?" He smiled at me.
" Yes I am. "
" I knew it. Where is he? Taga dito ba? Matino ba yan Naya? "
I looked at him.
" He's in front of me."
He blinked twice. Sabay kumunot ang noo nya.
" Me? " Alinlangan nyang sabi. I nodded.
" Why? I mean . Yes I like you too Naya. So much. " I gave him a wide smile. Atlast , someone who deserved my love.
I hugged him . " I like you so much Gel."
" Wait Naya. You get it wrong. I like you yes. But as a sister Naya. Nothing more ,nothing less. "
I think my whole world stopped. Nakakahiya ako.
" And besides , I have a girlfriend . She's living abroad and I'm planning to stay there too after we graduated . I'm sorry Naya."
I smiled at him.
Looked at him for the last time.
" I'm sorry for the sudden confession Gel. Don't mind your promise to me. You can leave me. "
" Naya wait!"
" No Gel. It's not your fault that I like you so much. Kalimutan mo na ang mga sinabi ko. Good bye Gel. "
And that's the last time I saw him.
5 years passed by. That was our last conversation. Umalis ako ng bansa at tumira sa Mama ko in Australia. And now ,Im back here in the Philippines for good. I will do what I needed to do.
Those pains brought me to where I should be. And I'm thankful that those weaknesses becomes my strengths too.
Finally, I can say that I once was lost, but now I'm found. It tooks me a lot of years before I realized that I'm always loved. I found my real puspose behind those pains and trials.
And that is to serve God. And God gives me the love I've been looking for.
