"For you", uttered Ricci Rivero as he handed the freshly picked white flowers to me.
"You shouldn't be here. Ano na lang ang sasabihin ng manager mo?", pagtataray ko sa kaniya.
We're currently inside the campus while he's making a scene.
Marami na namang nakikiusyuso kaya napuno na ang basketball court ng mga students at ibang professors na panay hiyawan at pangbubuyo sa amin. Some of my teammates and friends decided to tease me more so I just started slapping my forehead until this event is over.
I am Deanna Wong. A second year college student currently playing volleyball for the Ateneo Blue Eagles as a setter and a pursuing dentist.
Halos mapuno na ang court as time passes by. Nakakahiya na pero wala akong magawa dahil kahit anong pambubugaw ko kay Ricci ay hindi niya pa rin ako magawang tigilan.
Unlike me, Ricci Rivero is currently studying at De La Salle University.
He's a basketball player, a model, an actor and an ex-boyfriend.
Yes. You read it right.
Ricci Rivero is my ex-boyfriend.
Everybody who knew our real score told us that we are a perfect couple but...
Things change.
After 4 years of being in a relationship, we decided to end everything.
No, it's not a typical relationship in which we broke up because of a third-party, family issues or falling out love.
We broke up because we cannot manage to be together.
He loved his career, I loved him and that is why I supported him.
As an actor, it's hard to be popular kapag taken ka lalo na at hindi rin celebrity ang partner mo kaya nga inintindi ko.
Bakit hindi namin inilaban?
The truth is, we did.
When everybody were aware that we already parted our ways, our families rejoiced because we stood up at hindi kami sumuko kahit na ang hirap hirap magtago. Hindi kami makakain sa labas dahil pag-uusapan kami ng press, hindi ko siya makasama dahil sa career niya, hindi ko siya magawang lapitan dahil may inaalagaan siyang loveteam.
Sobrang hirap.
Gusto ko pa sanang lumaban dahil mahal na mahal ko siya pero sabi nga nila, if you love him, set him free. It's me or his career. He loves me, I know but I also badly know that he loves acting. It's his dream.
