Cold weather of November makes me down, low and blue. My world was a glass colored rainbow when I met my first love in college. A breezy afternoon in school, when a guy, tall, well-chiseled nose, hazel eyes, mestizo and has an athletic-built greeted me with a charming smile.
Hey! we're like twins, we have the same haircut and have a great semblance. Are you sure we're not relatives?
Looking at him from head to toe, arching my brows and rolling my eyes, walking away without a single word. Firstly, he's not familiar to me. Secondly, it was the first meeting and lastly, I found him arrogant!
He became my persistent suitor. and always hang with my friends even if I always ignore him.
Why are you avoiding and ignoring me? He asked but just plainly answer him: Why should I be avoiding you??
Months passed and semester break came, one of my friends' celebrating her birthday and she invited all of us to her place. I did not know that he was also invited and that was the beginning of our closeness. He continued courting me and never give me a chance to say NO! My friends were his cahoots and he became my boyfriend. We became close to each other and I was even mistaken for his sister. Yes, what he said was true that we have a great resemblance. I introduced him to my parents and brother. My father told me to be careful and finish my studies but my mother is AGAINST him!
He is a constant companion and my friends would always tease us that we are really like sister and brother. They said maybe were twins by birth but have different mothers. Just like the couple, we met during our stay in Baguio mistook us as brother and sister. Wherever we go we were mistaken of such. He joked that we were sister and brother in our past lives and were being reincarnated.
We were happy then and planned things to be done in the future together...But God has a different plan. He left for the United States of America. He promised to write as soon as he arrived in the United States of America (the internet is not available yet at that time). Exchanging letters, cards, and calls during important occasions came as always.
My fears came when I rarely received letters and cards from him until such time that I do not really receive even a note or a call from him. I was confused and my world was shattered, I did not hear anymore from him. I asked myself what have I done wrong.
I was bruised, hurt and humiliated but I stood up and move on. I had difficulty recovering from the pain he had caused me. I did not entertain suitors and rarely go out with friends especially when I knew that they arranged a blind date for me. I braced and blocked myself from men especially when I sensed that they are interested in me.
Years passed and I heard from my relatives that he married a rich Filipina nurse who I also knew from some source was the one who petitioned him. I felt that I was being stubbed several times at the back of what I heard and doubled the pain.
I never nurture grudged or hatred on him. Yes, I was brutally hurt and bruised, insulted and cheated. Almost fell down dead but I stood up, walk with my head held up high and has moved forward and on.
What something to look forward to?
That is LIFE! We are not really meant for each other and God has other plans for me.
