before he left that summer, just like in teenybopper movies, he told me to wait for him. if he's serious or joking, i couldn't be so sure. i waited, nevertheless, but when months passed and i never heard from him again, i moved on. i admit patience is never my virtue. i finished high school and college and learned the ins and outs of life and love along the way. i was days away from graduating in law school when i read an email from cris via friendster.
a little rewind. half a year ago, i thought of my teachers that summer '98. i thought of cris who for all i know would have been a husband and a doting father by then. he was years older so i had no doubts. i sent out hi-and-hello messages to my teachers and to cris, nothing really romantic.
only one replied. cris! but not after six months, for pete's sake! he played hard-to-get, didn't he? we exchanged phone numbers, emails, yeah you know the drill! in a week's time, he surprised me with a visit and a book, read entry on Day 2. and when we met again after almost a decade, sparks flew! one thing lead to another.
although we had our own fair share of quarrels and fights, we'll finally take a giant leap of faith. next year, we'll give our relationship a seal so we'd never lose each other again.
