My love story

Our love story was just ordinary like everyone else, we are two strangers who met and suddenly became a lover.

Everything began last 2009, it was my 22nd birthday and since my friends left for good and some already graduated, I was all alone in a big city. I remember my close friend Mark is still in the city, so I decided to call him and ask him out. I also asked him to bring some of his friends because it is awkward that we drink one on one. I'm a better drinker, so I might drag him out of the club in the end and he is way too big for me.

So he brought his best friend Perbz, and one of their friends, Ricky. I never met both of them before, so I thought. So we spend the night celebrating my birthday and sometimes I caught myself staring at him. He suddenly looks cute to me, it must be the beer.

I don't remember what happened that night, all I know it end up and he is my boyfriend already. I thought it was just the beer talking that we end up together that night. I'm not even sure if we're going to last for long.

Then the next day, my actual birthday, we ended up drinking again and this time, he ended up to my pad. I thought this was the game he was after. Well, I could play better.

I woke up the next day by him at my side. So we bid farewell and I knew that would be the end, so I thought.

The day came smoothly to me, not expecting him anymore. But he was back, the afternoon of that day, and still came back, everyday of the week that I was still in the city. We spend more time together; we went to mass and dine out together. We lived like a real couple. He stayed to my pad more than he stayed to his boarding house.

I already knew that he was a player, I learned it through time. Well who wants to have a guy who's a player? But it was hard to get rid of him; I was just waiting for the right time.

And the supposedly time came, he was about to graduate and I am about to get away from the city. I cried because somewhat, I already learned to love him.

But I don't really know what happened next, we still end up seeing each other through the summer, I used to visit the city and he is there. And suddenly, the unexpected thing happened, I got pregnant by him. Yeah, the perfect timing where we talked each other and when we are ready to let go, boom! Just like that.

Everything ends, but not us. With the existence of our child our bind became tighter.

2010 we got married and still trying to be strong. We are still trying to believe that everything will be okay. Still surviving and staying in love.

And I remember that Mark told me once that he already brought perbz to the apartment, the place we used to hangout. But Somehow I know he was telling the truth, I just don’t notice him then. We were at the same place but never knew that we going to end up together. I still wonder why cupid didn't hit us at that time and I guess Love also needs a perfect timing.
