Marrying the Guy I Hate

MGIH C-72: Misconception

Love is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day.
-Nicholas Sparks

Sofia's POV

I was wrong. I thought fairy tales do exist. I thought fate finds a way to make two people that are meant for each other be together no matter how many hindrances, trials, and ups and downs they will encounter. I thought happily ever after does exist. But I am not even Cinderella nor Belle to think about happy endings. I'm just Sofia Monique dela Cruz, a simple girl who is wishing to be loved by someone who will cherish and treasure me and my love for him.

Minahal ko si Charles nang sobra! At nahirapan din akong kalimutan siya nang sobra. And eventually, kung kailan naman nakalimutan ko na siya at kung kailan nagmamahal na ako ulit, wala naman sakin ang puso niya. Akala ko ako pa rin ang mahal ni Tyler hanggang ngayon. Akala ko all those years ako lang ang laman ng puso niya at nagawa niya pa akong hintayin. Akala ko siya na ang para sa akin. Pero bakit sa lahat na lang ng lalaking mamahalin ko, nakakaribal ko si Kath. And it's hard to admit but this is the second time she took my love away from me. Una, si Charles. Pag-uwi ko kasi galing States, naisipan kong itama ang pagkakamali ko. I wanted Charles back. But unfortunately, it was too late. He had Kath that time. And he seemed so happy with her so I decided to let him go. But it took me years to forget him. Then, Tyler made me realized how much I was loved by him. Well, that was a misconception because I was not the one he dedicated his song to
It was for his best friend and ex-fianceé, Kath.

**Flashback**

Nasa BARney ako ngayon. Magpapalipas oras lang sana. Nagbabakasakali ring makikita ko ang lalaking magmamahal sa akin. Ang tagal ko na ring single. Siguro time na 'to na mapalitan ang status ko.

♪When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky♪

Napatingin ako sa mini stage and I was shocked for what I saw. Tyler's on stage singing sweetly.

♪Or a beautiful sunrise♪

I saw him winked. Siguro isa sa fangirls niya ang kinindatan niya.

♪There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?♪

Kasama niya rin yung barkada niya. Sila pa rin talaga ang magkakasama hanggang ngayon.

♪Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
to do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find♪

Bigla siyang tumingin sa gawi ko. Hanggang sa hindi niya na inalis yung mga mata niya sa akin. Sa akin lang naman siguro siya nakatingin kasi lalaki ang nasa harapan ko.

♪'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth

We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
no! i wont give up♪

♪I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts
We got yeah we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what i got, and what I'm not
And who I am♪
