My Highway

     Highway is a public road, we don't know its end, my life is like a highway, many people will just passed, others will leave and sometimes, it is the place of all accidents, such as Falling In Love. 

      I really don't know where will I start  to tell you  my story. But I guess its also nice to share with you how colorful my life is.

     It was a blissful years when my family was still complete,I with my 3 brothers and my parents have a good times with each other, not until the time comes that my eldest brother needs to be far away from us for some controversial things and it is also for his own good. It is not easy for our family to be happy thinking that my brother is not with us, I always see my mother crying and worried because of the things happened to my kuya. I miss him so much because his one of the persons that used to protect me from the things that I am doing. After 6 years, my kuya went back to our home last January but he is only with us for 3 weeks. Though its just a short time vacation but still I treasure it so much.

     Talking about my family, I have my a.k.a grandparents, though they are not my real lolo and lola but still he gave us a care like a real grandparents. Were living in the same roof, they don't have a child that is why I am so thankful to God because he let us experience the love of a grandparents.

     As the only girl, my parents is always watching me especially when it comes to love stuffs. Ever since in high school,I never tried to enter the world of love, because according to papa, if I finish my study, then that is the time that I am allowed to have a boyfriend. Though there are some guys who courted me, but I don't understand with myself, I am afraid if there's someone who is expressing his feeling to me even though we had a mutual feelings with each other. Maybe at that time, I am not ready to enter any relationships.

     I have this crush in 1st year to 2nd year high school, he's name is Marc,he is a silent type guy, I gave his name a codename which is "Lollipop" so that my classmates and friends will never identify him. He is the son of our cashier in school, he used to stay outside in her mom's office every noon time.

     One afternoon, me and my close friend Cherry have a private conversation, we have a deal that we will share our secrets with each other, especially about our crushes. I thought before that I am the only one who had a codename for my crush, Cherry told me that she is also head-over-heels with his crush called "Popsicle". We never reveal the identity of our crushes until it goes for months and years. I observe that Cherry became obsess with his own "Popsicle",but I can't blame her to be like that because I am also near to obsession when it talks about "Lollipop".

     Unexpectedly one afternoon,our teacher told us to clean the meditation garden at the back of the cashiers'office. While walking with Cherry, shockingly, "Lollipop" is also walking towards us, our eyes have met, and I felt that he is slowly melting me in every single glimpse that he is doing. It's like a daydream, it only stops when I notice that  Cherry is shouting for his "Popsicle" while looking at Mark. Yes, we have the same crush.When she knew that, I observe some changes on her treatment to me, but I did not let our friendship be broken just because of a crush. Well, I told her that I will stop fantasizing for Marc because I know that he will never be mine and she too, also realize that she's over reacting where in the first place, there is no "Cherry and Marc". It sounds funny, but then, we learned a lot of lessons with that thing.

     Year had past, 3rd year was ended, and the summer comes. After the "Lollipop" obsession, I became more closer to my friends and family without crush or romantic things. My family decided to have a vacation in our hometown at Zamboanga Del Norte, and there I met my 1st boyfriend,Harold Billy.

    Do you believe in love at first sight?Well, at that time in my age, I really don't know if its love or infatuation. We met at the wrong place and at the wrong time.Believe it or not, I met him at the internet cafe near in my aunties' house. It was a rainy afternoon when my mom asked me to find my youngest brother, when I asked my cousin, he told me that my brother was in the internet cafe. I bring with me my 2 little nieces aged 5 and 6, when we reach the cafe, I saw my brother playing computer games and seem so busy on his own stuff. We waited for him but it became a cause of my boredom, so to have a leisure time while waiting, I use one unit at the cafe. The boredom became lesser and lesser while exploring the internet when I notice a guy watching me not so far at my side. I became flattered because he is truly cute and handsome. Maybe his curious about me, so he asked many things. I found myself enjoying chatting with him and there is a spark in every words that we are telling.At that moment, he became my ultimate crush.I found out also that my aunt's family and my other cousins are close to their family.. Days had past, he became the subject of my mind.How many times I've wishes that he will court me at that moment, I texted my closest friends in Davao about him,and they too were happy for me. I really wait that Harold will say something to me, but I just ended in my false hopes.I cried when its time for me to go back here in Davao. I find all the means to have a communication with him,and thanks to friendster, we shared comments together. He asked for my number, and you know what I felt? I can't explain it, its a strange feeling that really strucks my heart. Yes!! he courted me at last, I don't have any hesitations, I just said yes to his love.At first I'm very reluctant because for me, the title, 

"first boyfriend" deserves to a man that will really love me, but I saw his efforts and how he proved it to me, though we only met for days but it sounds for years.
    I thought before that it is easy to handle a relationship like this, but it's not. It is really true that if you will enter the world of love, you should be ready in all heartaches and pains. Our relationship had also experienced break-ups because of his third parties,and its really an agony to me. I suffered much but I still love him. I love him more and more though there are many times I've cried, but its not the reason for me to let him go. I still hold on because of love.

      The communication is still there until now, in cellphones, social accounts, and web cams.Until now, I am thankful to God that we reach this year, we will have our 3rd Anniversary this May 29. Before entering the college, I really think a course that he likes for my study and he too, will be on his first step on fourth  year college in AB Political Science in a college at Zamboanga . Both our parents knew about us, I know that time comes, he would be at my side the next moment when I will continue to write this.We trusted each other and always pray to God that he will guide us always.

    To have a long distance relationship is not easy, it needs TRUST, COMMUNICATION and HONESTY. They say, long distance love will never last, but for me, it depends upon the two people on how they will be able to carry the love they had.  For now, he is the only one I think of living with in the future, but God is always be the one to be followed in all his will. My story is not still over, because I know that the Greatest Author, our Father Almighty, was still busy writing the best story for me.
