Sabi nila, kapag nabuo mo ang pangalan ng mahal o gusto mo by tracing the stars in the night sky eh magiging kayo daw.

Hindi naman masama ang sumubok di ba? I promise, this will be the last one.

"T-H-E-O" I whispered as I was tracing his name in the night sky. A smile was later on formed in my lips. Pero nawala ito nang makita ko sya.

Nakatira sya sa katabing unit ko, and I was surprised to see him in his terrace since bihira lang talaga syang lumabas dito. Nasa terrace din kasi ako, it's actually my favorite part of the house kasi dito ako nagmumuni-muni.

But what broke me is seeing my bestfriend with him.

"Bessy!" She called out. I smiled as a response.

"Oh? Ba't ang lungkot ng mukha mo?" Tanong nya.

"Wala, naisipan ko na kasing magmove on sa first love ko" kaya ko kayang magmove on kay Theo? kakayanin ko ito, right?

"Okay lang yan Bessy! Marami pang lalaki sa mundo" pagpapagaan nya sa loob ko. But I want someone like Theo, too bad I'm stuck in friendzone.

"You know Mika, you don't deserve to be hurt like this. You're an ideal girl pero nakakapagtaka lang kung bakit hindi ka rin mahal ng mahal mo. Tanga ba sya? Gago? Kasi kung hindi ko nakilala itong bestfriend mo, I'm pretty sure na mahuhulog ako sa'yo" sabat ni Theo. If that's the case, then can I turn back the time?

"Hay nako bessy, ganyan talaga ang buhay. Hindi lahat ng gusto mo eh mapapasayo kasi there are times na you don't deserve them even though you think that you do. And just remember that God has always a better plan for you than you have for yourself." Napangiti nalang ako sa sinabi ng bestfriend ko.

Siguro nga.

Maybe it's not yet the right time.

Maybe he's really not for me.

Maybe he's just out there waiting to meet me.

Maybe I just traced the wrong name in the constellation.
