Our Love Story

Nagsimula ang lahat nang i-add ko siya sa Facebook. Hindi ko siya personal na kilala, pero pamilyar ang kanyang mukha kaya naglakas-loob akong i-add siya. Hindi ko naman inaasahan na ia-accept niya ako, pero ginawa niya iyon. Pagkatapos niyang tanggapin ang friend request ko, nag-wave siya sa akin at nag-wave back naman ako. Doon nagsimula ang aming pag-uusap.

Habang tumatagal, mas naging maganda at masaya ang aming mga usapan. Araw-araw kaming nagkakausap hanggang sa unti-unti kaming naging malapit sa isa’t isa. Hindi nagtagal, nanligaw siya at buong puso ko naman siyang sinagot.

Hindi naging madali ang aming relasyon dahil sa simula ay itinago pa namin ito sa aking pamilya. Marami kaming pinagdaanan at kinaharap na pagsubok, ngunit nalaman din ng aking pamilya ang tungkol sa amin at tinanggap naman nila ang aming relasyon.

Makalipas ang ilang buwan, dumating ang panahon na naghiwalay kami. Pareho kaming nagkaroon ng ibang karelasyon, ngunit sa kabila nito ay hindi tuluyang nawala ang aming koneksyon. Patago pa rin kaming nag-uusap at nagkikita paminsan-minsan.

Lumipas ang dalawang taon at dumating ang panahon ng eleksyon. Nagkaroon kami ng isang kasunduan na kapag nanalo ang kanyang ama bilang kapitan ay magbabalikan kami. Nangyari nga ang aming napagkasunduan. Nanalo ang kanyang ama, at sa pagkakataong iyon ay hiwalay na rin ako sa aking dating kasintahan. Siya din ay hindi na rin maayos ang relasyon sa kanyang nobya.

Dahil dito, nagpasya kaming bigyan muli ng pagkakataon ang aming pagmamahalan. Pinili naming ayusin ang lahat ng pagkukulang at pagkakamali namin noon. Mas naging bukas kami sa isa’t isa, mas naging tapat, at mas pinahalagahan namin ang aming relasyon. Natutunan naming harapin ang mga problema nang magkasama at hindi na basta sumuko.

Habang tumatagal, lalo naming napatunayan na ang pagmamahal namin sa isa’t isa ay hindi nawala kahit ilang beses kaming pinaglayo ng pagkakataon at panahon. Sa kabila ng lahat ng pagsubok na aming pinagdaanan, kami pa rin ang nagkatuluyan.

At ngayon, 5 years na kami, narito kami sa panibagong yugto ng aming buhay. Malapit na kaming magkaroon ng anak at bumuo ng sarili naming pamilya. Ang dating simpleng pag-add sa Facebook ay nauwi sa isang magandang kuwento ng pagmamahalan, muling pagkikita, at pangakong habang-buhay naming iingatan ang isa’t isa at ang pamilyang binubuo namin.
