It was a rainy night when I was at the bar to forget about everything

I was crying that night .. I was hurting so much ... I don't know if I can get past the pain and weight of everything I feel

I honestly didn't expect anyone to help me get through all the pain

But that night I saw a woman who I felt could help me with how I was feeling

I thought at first he wouldn't pay attention to me

But someone spoke from behind me

"Hi?"

I thought who so I didn’t look back

"Hello? Nakakarinig kaba o hindi moko marinig?

When I looked around, I was surprised

Because the woman I saw earlier was the one who approached me

-oh hello

"Nakita kita kanina na naka tingin sakin kaya

naisip kona lapitan ka

And she smiled She is a beautiful woman

and you can mistake her for an actress

-oh ahm Hindi kita masyado marinig sorry

"Oh it's ok tara labas muna tayo If you just want to

-ahm sige tara

I don't know where we're going or how I'm going to talk to her

As we walked out, I noticed that she was just taller than me (4 inch)

"It's 2:40 It's too late for us to go somewhere else so ahm gusto mo dun nalang sa bahay ko wala naman akong ibang kasama at medj lumalakas din ang ulan ngayon Hindi naman kalayuan dto

-ahm ok lang ba sayo?

She didn't answer but she laugh and continued walking

Nung naka rating na kame sa bahay nya

"Ahm mag shower ka then gamitin mo muna yung damet ko habang pinatutuyo mo damet mo

-thanks

"*Smiled"

When I finished showering and when I came out I saw her sitting and looking at me

-by the way , what's your name?

"Akala ko nga hindi mona tatanong sakin yan upo ka

-hindi ko kase alam kung paano

"my name is venus collin 21 years old and you are?

- Elaine corpuz ely for short and 20 years old

"Napansin kita kanina sa bar na naka tingin sakin nag assume ako na may sasabihin ka or itatanong so...?

-ah wala naman actually hindi ko din alam talaga

"Broken hearted kaba ? Iniwan ng boyfriend?

- *cough* actually wala akong boyfriend NBSB

"Ohhh so... Problema sa work stress?

- girlfriend iniwan ako ng girlfriend ko

"I didn’t expect you to have a girlfriend

- correction ex girlfriend na

" Oh i see at anong dahilan kase sa tingin ko naman sayo mabait ka at hindi man loloko so ...

-ahmm i don't know one day bigla nalang nag bago lahat actually sya yung unang nag bago

"Muka kang suplada pero parang hindi naman na parang galit ka sa mundo pero anong dahilan kwento ka kikinig ako iyak ka kung gusto mo

- nag start lumabo relationship namin nung nag party sila ng mga ka trabaho nya and ....

Ahm I don't want to talk about this anymore

I was surprised when she suddenly hugged me and whispered

"Don't worry may aalis sayo pero may darating na mas better kaya wag mo hanapin kusang darating sayo

-a-ah tha-thank you

At that time, my heart suddenly beat fast as if it was going to explode I hope she doesn't feel it

"Oh by the way dto kana matulog may isa pang kwarto jan late na delikado na kung uuwi kapa

- ok lang ba sayo?

"Oo naman wag ka mag alala

-thank you talaga

"Can you be my friend?

-ye-yess

She smiled and entered her room

It's not that easy to sleep because I remember her hug and I can't explain how I felt

Why and how Why would I feel that way And how can I explain to myself that she is my friend And it won't go beyond being friends

and what if she's straight

I can't fall into a hug and her kindness to me I can't fall for my friend

The next morning at 8:39 am I woke up and when I came out I saw her look at me and smile

"Good morning ely

-good morning too sorry late na nagising ahm maya maya aalis na din ako and thank you ngapala kagabi

"Ano kaba ok lang yon kaibigan kita anytime pwede ka mag punta or mag overnight pa by the way mag breakfast ka muna

-oh thank youu

I don’t know how I will feel if I will be happy or shy or both

While we were having breakfast, my cellphone suddenly rang and i was received a message from haira my ex girlfriend.im not interested ...

venus suddenly asked

"Ely are you ok? Amm kung may gagawin kapa it's ok

-ah thanks kailangan na kase ako sa trabaho medj may aayusin pa ako

"It's ok take care

-yeah thank you again

"Ahm ely by the way can i have your number?

-oh sure

"Here Enter your cellphone number

-ok eto ok na

"see you next time

-yeah thanks again

When I left her house, I immediately called a taxi and went home

I can't understand why there seems to be something missing, I don't seem to be complete, why do I miss her smile Her face, her gaze, her eyes, everything to her i miss her

Sometimes you think you have nothing to lean on ... no one will listen to you ... no one can understand how you feel..no one will approach you to ask if you are really ok..But there are other people who want to lift you up to support you even if it's just your friend

And you are lucky if you have a friend like that

I haven't seen her for two days but I'm looking for her smile and laugh

I want to call her so I can hear her voice or talk to her

I was about to go but suddenly someone shouted behind me

"Ely!!

My cousin Kairy

-hello cous

"Cous i have something to tell you

-what is it?

"Nung isang gabi pumunta ako sa bahay mo hulaan mo nakita ko

- hmm muka naba akong mang huhula ngayon?

"Cous seryoso ako

-cous nag bibiro ako

Like before, she didn't continue what she was going to say

On my way home someone shouted from behind me

"Elyyy!stop

I was surprised when I saw venus ..she was beautiful even though she was wearing only a simple dress ... while she was getting closer and closer to me Suddenly time stopped .. I saw nothing but venus

"Ely?Elyy?hoy ely? Ok ka lang?

-ah sorry ahm a-ano ginagawa mo dito i mean bakit andito ka di-diba sa kabilang kanto pa ang bahay mo

"Easyy ely chill nag iikot kase ako actually pag tatanong ko talaga bahay mo gusto kase kita makita at maka usap so ahm pwede ba kita makausap importante lang

-oh wait venus (I laugh) chill isa isa lang i mean ahm never mind let's go saan tayo?

"Hmm sa lugar sana na tayo lang

-tara sa bahay nalang tayo

"Ah sige

As we walked to my house we were very quiet and no one was talking and I didn't know how to break the silence I want to ask her what she is going to say But suddenly she spoke

"Ely..ma iintindihan mo naman siguro yung nararamdaman ko dba ikaw lang alam kong makaka intindi sakin

-ohmm anong klase ba yan tungkol saan?

"Ely may nagugustuhan ako pero hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit sya basta alam ko masaya ako kapag kasama ko sya kapag naririnig ko boses nya nakikita ko mga ngiti nya

While venus was saying that, I was nervous because maybe I was or maybe I wasn't the one she liked And I hope I'm the one she wants because I like venus We'll only know each other for a few days, but why do I feel that way? I can't explain why

"Ely i think im inlove with you

I was so surprised when I heard from venus ..she likes me ? How? Why? When?

"At sana wag mo masamain to promise pinilit kong labanan to pe-

Yess she hasn't finished yet but I kissed her

"E-ely

-tara sa loob ko ipapaliwanag lahat sayo

I don't know why I did that I don't know

When we entered the house, I made her sit down and she immediately asked

"Ely bakit?

-Venus what you feel for me I feel the same for you i don't know

Venus suddenly hugged me tightly and whispered

"I love you ely

-i love you too

and she kissed me I couldn’t help myself

"Ely please don't leave me ok?

- I promise

*Ring ring ring*

Haira called me and I didn't answer When venus was able to leave the house haira called again and like before I didn't answer when the door suddenly opened I saw haira

"Babe! I miss you sorry fo-

-haira umalis kana

"Pakinggan mo muna sasabihin ko bago moko paalisin

-wala nako dapat marinig mula sayo napatunayan mona tapos na tayo kaya umalis kana

"Please babe makinig ka muna

-stop haira

-I don't want to listen to your useless tricks

Suddenly she hugged me and kissed me Suddenly venus came in and she saw everything I saw her cry while running out

I chased her and said that

-venus wait mali yung akala mo hindi ganon yon

"Ely bakit ? Pasigaw na tanong nyan

-mali yung iniisip mo

"Ano ang tama yung nakita ko? Ely ansakit

She suddenly ran and I held his hand and he slapped me

"Don't follow me ely

-please makinig ka sakin

And she didn't listen anymore and finally left. I can't understand why she didn't listen to what I had to say

Will it happen again? Am I alone again?When I got home .. I saw haira was still there and she smiled at me and said

"Ahm na miss mo ba ako?

-yung totoo?

"Of course

-I won't miss you Kaya please leave me alone haira tapos na tayo ikaw tumapos neto kaya umalis kana wala ako balak maniwala na namn sa aasabihin mo

When I said all that to Haira, she also left and I don't know how to talk to Venus and how to explain that what she saw was wrong

One two three days

She did not reply to my messages for three days and she did not answer my calls

I didn't know what to do at that time The pain returned to the beginning and the feeling of being alone I didn't realize that I was asleep on the sofa And when I woke up I saw Venus sitting next to me she said

"Ely sorry

-venus please pakinggan mo muna ako

"Ely alam kona lahat sinabi na sakin ni haira at alam kong tama sya mas matagal kayo mas kilala mo sya at alm kong mahal mopa sya

-no venus mali ka hindi kona sya mahal naalala mo unang araw na nakita moko sa bar tinignan talaga kita gusto kita lapitan non pero nahihiya ako nung nandon tayo sa bahay mo niyakap moko hindi ko maintindihina nararamdaman ko sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko na halos hindi kona makalimutan yung ngiti mo venus please maniwala ka ikaw yung mahal ko

"El...

when I suddenly hugged venus tightly and whispered

-please don't leave me i love you so much venus

,"Seryoso ?

-of course

"I love you too ely

Sometimes no matter how hard things are if you want to get past you will be able to fight back And when you love someone you will learn to lower your pride And you will learn to be patient and content with her Learn to accompany all her trips Make her happy .. take care of her like a princess even if you are both princesses

At 7:00 am I saw the small paper on the table

"Good morning ely pinag luto nakita ng breakfast mo bago ako umalis para pag pasok mo sa trabaho makapag breakfast ka muna i love you:)

Wow, I'm lucky to have a girlfriend like this When I finished breakfast, I immediately took a shower and when I went to work, suddenly someone called me

*Unknown number*

"hello is this ely?

-yes Who is this

Venus is in the hospital now ... she fainted earlier in the office and we finally got to by the way I'm antony cousin of venus

-wait what ! Anong ospital yan?

"I'll text you where the hospital is

- ok thank you

I was surprised to hear what? Why? I don't know what I'm going to do..it only took me a few minutes to receive the text from antony where the hospital is and I went right away

When I arrived at the hospital, someone approached me and introduced himself as antony I honestly can't accept that she has a disease

She has a heart disease Why didn't she tell me

We waited a few minutes for the doctor to come out and told the doctor that she needed to be operated on as soon as possible If her heart can't be changed, Venus will die

I didn't see that she had a heart disease because of her cheerfulness

When I entered her room I saw him looking at me

"Ely

-venus bakit hindi mo sinabi sakin?

"Sorry

-ok kana ba? May iba kaba nararamdaman?

"Ely pwede ba kita yakapin?

I hugged her and whispered

-i love you venus

"I love you too ely

"Ely can i ask?

-what is it?

"Mamahalin mo paba ako kahit panget na yung dibdib ko hihiwain nila to mag kakapeklat papanget na ako

-venus kahit may tahi ka sa dibdib mamahalin parin kita minahal kita kase ikaw yan hindi dahil maganda yung katawan mo kung ano ang mahalaga sakin ngayon gumaling ka

"Can i kiss you?

I kissed her

"Ely wait

-If you can't do it yet, don't force it ok?

And I returned the one on his nose

-mag pahinga ka muna ok lalabas lang ako saglit para kausapin si antony babalik din ako promise hindi ako aalis sa tabi mo_at nginitian kosya

"Ok i love you

-i love you too

Nang palabas ako ng kwarto nya nakita ko si antony na naka upo nilapitan ko sya

-hi

"Hello

-anong balita sa donor ?

"Sad to say nag aantay pa ng donor at wala pang match na puso para kay venus 2 years ely 2 years lng ang itatagal nya kung hindi agad mapapalitan yung puso nya

Nagulat ako sa narinig ko 2 years lang itatagal nya kung hindi mapalitan ng puso si venus paano na? Paano kung walang donor paano?

When I entered venus' room I saw that he was asleep, I held his hand and said lord please help us find a donor for venus

In the morning I went home to take a bath When antony suddenly called

"Ely bilis pumunta ka ng ospital ngayon na!

I was very nervous and went to the hospital immediately. I saw antony that we were in front of venus' room and he said that

"Ely

-anong nangyare asan si venus?

"Good news ely may donor na si venus at ooperahan na sya ngayon

I can't explain my joy at that time, Venus will finally be operated on

-seryoso thanks god

"Inooperahan na sya at sila tita papunta na din dito mmmm oras na din siguro para nalaman nila tita yung tungkol sainyo ni venus

-hindi pa ata handa si venus wag nalang muna natin ipilit

just a few minutes later venus's parents suddenly arrived Venus looks like her mom When they came I felt ashamed I don't know why Antony and venus' mom were talking when antony suddenly said that

"Tita maricon si ely ,ely si tita maricon mother ni venus

-good afternoon po ma'am

-a-ahm opo

"Thanks god

A month later, Venus was completely healed

I realize that I want to be with Venus for the rest of my life, I love her I thought I would surprise her In the morning around 8 am I saw Venus that we were on the edge of the sea I hugged her and said love I want to be with you for the rest of my life and she suddenly turned to me and said love I will never leave you I lov- suddenly I knelt down and took out the ring and said venus collin Will you marry me?And finally she said yess

After 6 months Venus married me

Sometimes in a difficult situation there are people who just give up I have learned to be strong .. to pray always whether there is a need or not Just a few months after we adopted the baby, we named her claire beautiful child
