I Thought Manila. The exhibits were everywhere and it was time for the quiz bee to start. I was part of the quiz bee, she was too. We were opponents. She was from a high school in Cebu while mine was from Laguna. Some time during the quiz bee nagkaroon ng justification of answers. The argument was somehow intense. She knew how to defend her side. And in the end, they got the point. They won but my teammate was babbling about how pushy their team was and how we could have won; she heard it. She seemed upset(?), hearing what my teammate had said. Being the I-dont-want-paranoia type of guy, I followed her and told her that my teammate didnt mean it and I also congratulated her. Man, was she beautiful! Its okay, she replied while gently giggling (because I had to really follow her and apologize). To make things less awkward, I had to cut the line and told her that my teammates were waiting for me. That is how I met her. Claire. Ill make this real quick because Ive already written much. I looked her up on friendster. I wasnt crushing on her though. I was just curious. I just wanted to know her. Found out that one of the contestants from my school knew her and boy, my schoolmate gave me Claires number. Months passed we developed some kind of friendship, through all the texting and calling. I met some of her friends; she met some of mine. May nagsabi rin sa akin nagustuhan niya raw ako pero hindi ko masyadong pinansin at may gusto akong iba that time. A year passed and I already knew her family, the struggles she was going through, her heartaches (haha), everything just via cellphone. HS senior year. Of course naging talk of the season ang college. So ayun, nagkatanungan din kung saan namin gusto. We both liked UP. From that point, we made plans if ever makita ulit namin ang isat isa. I got curious on how she looked, or acted, or behaved, basta sobra akong curious at sobrang gusto ko siyang makita ulit. Nagshare naman ako sa mga katropa ko about the plans and they started teasing me. Suss! Crush mo na yan eh! Deny ka pa! I couldnt have a crush on her. I only had a bit of her personality on the phone. Pero kapag kausap ko siya, parang Ive known her for a long time. She was open-minded. We could talk about everything. Fast forward ulit. Lumabas ang UPCAT results. Hindi pa uso internet so via mail. Pasado siya, ako hindi. I did every effort I could para lang makapag-aral sa Manila, para lang magkita ulit kami. Sa UST ako, siya naman sa UP. Naging best-friends kami and I fell in love.I thought what could go wrong. I really told myself that she was the one. Shes got all boxes checked on my list. Okay na sana kaso may iba siya at naduduwag ako. I kept all my feelings hanggang sa naka-graduate na kami. Nagka-bf siya. Nagkaka-problema sila ng bf niya, ako yung dahilan, (kasi masyado raw kaming close), pero ako pa rin yung takbuhan. One night while she was venting. I had the feeling that I had to tell her how I felt. Claire, I love you. I want to be with you. She looked at me and started crying even more. She said, I was too afraid to tell you my feelings because I thought hanggang friends lang talaga. You said you couldnt handle being in a relationship. I took those as indirect messages telling me that you wouldnt know what to do if ever i confessed to you or if something even bigger than this happened to us. I wanted to feel your love. Thats what Ive been doing, looking for the love from other men that only you could give. Now, its too late. Im pregnant I reflected. Years of friendship came down to nothing (at least for two years). We remained friends, And next month, ako na magli-lead sa pag welcome ng Christian world sa kanyang baby. :) CallMe*****o 2007 University of Sto. Tomas
