A Typical Love Story (Two-Shots)

A Typical Love Story (First Shot)

                                                     [Rence's POV]

It all started when I was in my 4th year high school. I knew her from a social networking site my friends introduced to me. Friends friends. She was so cool.  And so is her boyfriend I pressume. Cool ang boyfriend niya. Cool rin siya. They're both cool and they're undoubtly compatible but maybe, that's not just the basis for a good and lasting relationship because later on, they broke up. They broke up because his boyfriend

was flirting with someone else while they are together, so do the math guys, obviously, they broke up, I started to despise her EX-BOYFRIEND. I almost cursed him to death. Neisha is like the definition of the lady close to perfection. Mabait, matalino at maganda. Ano bang naisipan ng gag- niyang ex at linoko lang siya? I wanted to beat him to death if only I can see him personallly.  Months passed, mas naging close kame at ang ex naman niya, palipat-lipat ng girlfriend. Tsk! We  became closer so I knew a lot more about her, and she did knew a lot more about me too. I knew a lot of things. Her school, her adventures, mga kalokohan niya sa buhay, mga bestfriend niya, yung mga lalakeng namimilit sa kanya na gawing boyfriend niya, yung mga nangyari sa prom nila. I knew also that his ex, his first boyfriend, is also his first love. 

Time passed, I forgot the time frame, but we got closer, hanggang sa naging kami.

Alam ko, iisipin niyo siguro na ang korni at cheap.

"Yuck! Sa internet lang nagkita? Seryoso? Kadiri naman!"

Pero anong magagawa ko? Sorry ah. Mahal ko na e. Cheap man kung cheap, andyan na e. Mahal ko na, kami na. Ano pang problema? We planned on meeting pero kahit kailan di natuloy. Tsk tsk tsk!

Anyway, months passed, madami akong natuklasan, I saw evidences of her flirting other guys habang kami pa. Nagbulag-bulagan ako, di ko pinansin, nagpakamanhid ako. 

PERO TNG-INA! ANG SAKIT E!

Di naman siya ganyan dati e! She became exactly the opposite of how I knew her. O nakilala ko nga ba talaga siya? 

Does she really love me? or naging panakip butas lang ako? Ayos na sana na panakip butas na ako e, pero kailangan pa ba niyang maghanap ng iba habang kami pa? Eto na ako o. Ready ng magpagamit sa kanya. Willing na willing. Why don't she give me the benefit of being the one used? Diba pwedeng ako na lang gamitin niya? Ako lang mag-isa? Nagpagamit na nga ako o !, naghahanap pa ng iba?!

Is this some sort of act to boost her ego? To regain her crushed pride? Huh?! Is this her revenge? Did she use some sort of defense mechanism like displacement kaya ang paghihiganti at galit niya sa g-go niyang ex sakin niya pinapasa? MY GOD! For pete's sake I'm Not Him! 

Tell me, is this my karma for the hearts I broke before? For playing with the heart of a girl who loved me dearly 2 years ago? For breaking up with her on our first monthsary by giving her a pink love letter wherein the words "Break na tayo" was written? Is this the kind of karma I get for that girl who loved me and still is loving me even if 2 years had passed and I broke her heart?

Is this the karma I get for unconsciously breaking the heart of my bestfriend 3 years ago by saying we're just friends nung tinanong kung magkaano-ano kami nung 1st year high? Well, I did not know about that. I did not know that she had feelings for me! I just realized it when years passed!

Is this my kind of karma for letting that certain girl embarassed on our 3rd year in high school when I ignored her when she said she likes me? with some of our classmates looking and hearing everything?

Karma. Karma strikes back 3 times. I should've kept that in mind. Because now, I'm hurting and  I feel like it's 3 times the pain I made those girls feel. If not, it maybe of just the same intensity or even lesser but still, I'm not used to this kind of pain. I'm used with being the one hurting people. Being the one causing this kind of pain. Not me experiencing it.
