The Love Story Of My Teacher

The saddest part of being inlove...

...yung pinakilig ka lang pero hindi ka pinanindigan

...yung hindi ka naman lobo pero bigla kang iniwan sa ere

...yung akala mo sya na pero hindi pa rin pala.

Ganyan yung love story ng teacher ko. Si Teacher Lea. Kinwento nya yun during our class. Don't get me wrong ha? Nagtuturo si Teacher at isa sya sa mga paborito ko dahil ang smooth nya mag explain ng topic. May oras lang talaga na nilalaan sya sa kwentuhan to light up the tiring day.

So here's her story.

Si Teacher hindi pala NBSB.
Si Teacher hindi pala manang.
Si Teacher hindi pala isnabera.
Si Teacher hindi pala tomboy.
Si Teacher marunong pala magmahal.

Pero si Teacher...

...isang beses na nga lang nagmahal...

...nabigo pa.

Alam mo yung hindi naman ikaw yung nabigo pero ramdam mo yung sakit.

I was in third year college when I met Aga. I was taking up BSEduc and he graduated as BSCE then. Napakakulit nya nung time na yun. Hindi ko alam kung saan nya ba nakuha number ko, kung paano nya nalaman pangalan ko. But I find him cute everytime na nangungulit sya.

Gusto ko na syang sagutin pero hindi pwede. Because soon I will be the bread winner of our family. My mother is seriously ill and my dad left us. My mom has been left with nothing but me. I have to stand for my siblings alone. Highschool pa lang sila, ang bahay namin nakasangla sa bangko baon pa kami sa utang. So tell me san ko isisingit ang pag-ibig when I needed to take two part time jobs to fed my family and to provide our daily needs tapos baon pa ng mga kapatid ko.

So I snob Aga. Kahit masakit. Pero makulit sya. So I told him na "Sige sasagutin kita pero tubusin mo yung bahay namin sa bangko. Make my siblings scholar at ipagamot mo nanay ko. Mag aasawa lang ako if both of us are stable in life. May sariling bahay at kotse." Then tumawa sya at umalis.

Ilang araw walang paramdam and then nabalitaan ko na lang nasa london na sya. Natanggap daw sa trabaho.

One year na ang lumipas and I feel that I'm missing that jerk so much. So I call him via Skype. We exchange stories kung anong nangyare sa amin sa buong taon. Then he said na uuwe na raw sya for a vacation pero one week lang. Tapos pag uwe nya dala dala na nya ang titulo ng bahay namin. Aba tinubos nga ng gago eh binibiro ko lang naman sya. Tapos yung mga kapatid ko papaaralin pa sa kolehiyo. Then eto pa he gave me a keys. Isa para sa bahay namin at isa para sa kotse may dala pa syang cake na akala ko for merienda lang but when I open it I read "Will you marry me" with a ring in the middle. And I was like "Wow! He's one of a kind".

Lahat ng biro sineryoso. Ang saya lang  talaga nung araw na yun. Everyone is excited for the wedding kahit next year pa naman yon.

I saw happiness sa mata ni Teacher Lea. She was so inlove with that guy. So excited na rin ako. Eto na yung story before and during the wedding.

Everything was settled according to plan. Pero ang groom hindi daw macontact a month before the wedding. Nag-aalala man pero iwinaksi iyon ni teacher because she knows that his man loves to surprise her. Baka susurpresahin lang sya sa wedding mismo.

But the wedding day came at wala la ring balita sa nobyo ni teacher even his parents wala ring balita. So si Teacher Lea hindi na nakatiis at tinawagan ang groom to be nya but to her surprise babae ang sumagot and telling teacher Lea to call off the wedding. Dahil hindi na makakarating ang groom and also the girl said na tigilan na ni teacher Lea ang halusinasyon dahil may asawa at dalawang anak na sila ng groom to be ni Teacher.

The parents of the groom apologise to Teacher Lea at hindi raw nila inakalang magagawa iyon ng anak nila.

We saw teacher Lea at verge of crying pero pinipigil nya. Tumawa pa nga sya and said "Oy hindi na ako luge ha? Sakin nakapangalan ang bahay at kotse. Kaso hindi ko pa napupuntahan ang bahay kahit isang beses. I'm still not ready."

Kase nandun daw lahat ng pictures nila. From college days to preparation of the wedding. Then time comes na umuwi si Aga sa pinas at nakasabay ni Teacher sa jeep. Hindi daw nya namalayan na naiyak na sya while staring at him. Nung pababa na daw sya para sumakay sa iba pinigil daw sya ni Aga and he said "dito ka muna" O diba kapal ng mukha.

Until now she's praying na sana naging masaya daw si Aga sa desisyon nya. And she is still on the process of moving on. Imagine five years na ang nakalipas but teacher is not yet done moving on. Can you feel the pain she's going through? I feel pity on her. But there is one thing she said before she dismissed the class and that is...

"An ex is not an enemy. It is an EXample that you deserve better".

Thats how she ended the story.

I'm sad. Hanggang sa makadating ako sa bahay.
