Back to Square One

And so... This was the day that I dreaded the most... the day when I get to see you after 32 days... the day when I get to hear your questions and thoughts on what happened... the day when I get to try to make my plead... the day when I would have your decision, if you are willing to give us another try...

It was 530PM when I arrived at Alabang Town Center. I made sure that I will have water with me, kasi alam kong madugong iyakan ang mangyayari. I went straight to Healthway; the doors to your clinic was closed and so I assumed you had a patient. I asked the receptionist and she went to ask you... When you went outside your clinic, I just did not know how to react. I was there sitting in one of those benches, parang batang napagalitan, walang imik, walang kibo. I waited for you until you finish your last patient. Then, we went to your car and there, we talked...


I cannot recall anymore how our conversation started. But if there are two things that I realized in our
conversation, it would be that I realized how mature and a very kind-hearted person you are. You knew that between the two of us, you would still need to be the mature person. How lucky I am to have a partner like you, kasi ang bait bait mo sobra. Realizations were brought up, apologies were made, forgiveness were given, requests were asked, and promises were committed. I am just so blessed to have you as a partner. But more than blessed that you are willing to give us another chance.


I know it will really be difficult for both of us. You having stressed by the people around you, telling you how stupid of you to come back to me, and I would have to live with your possible paranoia in the future. We still have to pick up the pieces, but slowly I know we will be back where we left off before my stupidity happened.

This was a very humbling experience. I have realized what I still lack in maturity and in emotional stability. I promise that this time I will always have you in my mind and will put you first as top priority in all that I do. I would not want to lose you ever again.

It is back to square one for us again. And this time, I will make sure to make everything right.
