As people grows old they experience many things in life before their retirement as teen ager to became an adult and sees the world in their own perspective also surviving alone until you found someone better to settled with. But there is one thing that never old and that is love that we feel to someone, it's unstoppable rather inevitable to beat because of the genuine feeling that we had towards to this person especially when we were still young except to this person whose standing while presenting her report.
"Love is all fun, butterflies and excitement but for me it's nightmare." As Rhainelle ends her representation, everyone seems so curious why love is nightmare for her. Naiisip lang ni Rhainelle na isang kabuluhan lamang ang pag ibig lalo na kung gusto nito'y maging matagal even if it's toxic because you loved the person and yeah, you will accept the flaws of that person kahit na toxic na kasi nga mahal mo siya.
Love revolves around to word acceptance.
Ayan ang pananaw ni Rhainelle sa pag ibig at the age of seventeen and ironically speaking, she never entered a relationship but there is that one person na muntikan niyang pasukin, pasukin ang mundo ng isang tao at aralin kung paano ba ito mahalin.
Her adviser clap and "Okay, that's it for today and don't forget the reaction paper for Rhainelle's representation. You all can proceed for break time." May isang tao ang balak mag taas ng kamay ngunit naunahan ito ng kaniyang adviser "No question, Cher."
Nag sitayuan na ang mga kaklase niya bago tumunog ang bell ng kanilang school bilang pasabi na tapos na ang klase.
Habang inaayos ng mga kaklase niya ang mga gamit nila, nag ayos na rin si Rhainelle ng kaniyang gamit para hindi masayang ang oras niya sa katahimikang binigay lamang sakaniya nang mga taga pakinig.
Hinugot niya ang charger ng kaniyang laptop at pati na rin ang iba pang kable nang naka saksak sa kaniyang laptop kagaya ng projector at mouse.
Iniisip pa rin ni Rhainelle kung bakit gano'n ang reaksyon ng mga tao sakaniya kanina. "Alangan namang mag paliwanag pa ako like just take the hint." Bulong ni Rhainelle sa kaniyang sarili. Naka ramdam siya nang mahinang tapik sa balikat, napa irap nalang siya dahil kilala na niya kung sino ito.
"Ano na naman, Cher?" Iritang tanong nito. Nung una'y walang sumagot hanggang sa lumingon siya at nakitang naka ngiti lang si Cher sakaniya. "Ano nga?" Tanong niya ulit.
"I'm just curious why you said love is a nightmare for you." Napa tingin siya sa hawak ni Cher na notepad at ballpen, Isa kasing member ng Newspaper club si Cher kaya hindi na siya nagulat sa bitbit nito.
Pinag iisipan pa ni Rhainelle kung sasabihin niya ang dahilan sa kaniyang sinabi dahil hindi naman masyadong malalim ang kaniyang rason para hindi na maniwala sa pag ibig na yan.
"I will tell you but don't you dare published my behind story, okay?" Tumango naman ito at sinundan si Rhainelle papuntang canteen nila.
"Have you fallen in love to someone to the point you can labeled yourself as second choice? Because you are ready to risks it all just to be with that person?"
"Ang tanga naman kung gano'n." Sagot ni Cher habang si Rhainelle ay namimili ng kaniyang kakainin. maka lipas ng ilang minuto naka bili na siya pero si Cher nasa isang tabi lang inaantay siya matapos para maka hanap na din nang pwesto na pwedeng upuan, yung tahimik sana at liblib.
"Yeah, tanga talaga yung gano'ng tao. You can't blamed them though for being blinded by the truth in front of them, a person can risk all she or he can for one reason." Rhainelle starts to think what if's in her head because the regrets are overflowing again inside her system.
