1128 Words
I meet John every Friday night because he is so busy with School. I understand because we did not live close. Everyday we exchange text and at night he calls me to say Good Night. Our Anniversary is fast approaching. It will be in 2 days. I just can’t imagine that we will celebrate our one year anniversary in 2 days seems like it’s just yesterday that we meet after being a textmate for how many weeks. I am wondering why I did not receive a text from John. I am started being emotional because it is the first time I did not receive a text from him. I texted him first and greet him Good morning and I miss him so much. However I did not receive a response from him. Maybe he is just busy with School. I clean the house and prepare lunch for me and Love after we eat lunch I check my phone to check if John send me a text however I did not receive one from him. I am started feeling uncomfortable. I give it until 5pm I know by that time he is already done with class and might be home by that time. It is already 5 but still no text from him my eyes is already watery that any moment my tears will fall. I calm myself and decided to cook dinner since Papa will be home at 6. After done cooking Papa is arrived from work so I prepare the table right away so that we can have dinner. After our dinner I clean everything in the kitchen and after that go straight to my room. I check my phone and no text nor call from John. Where is this man now? Is he that busy that he cannot even text or call me? I tried calling him but he did not pick up the call. I tried it twice but he did not answer. My insecurity hit me again. Maybe he already forget me and he is started looking for another girl. My tears are falling now. Will John break my heart? I don’t know how to survive.
I did not realize that I fell asleep and when I get up it is already morning. I check on my phone and still no text from John. I decided not to text him anymore if that what he wants. I get up and do my morning routine. Today is a busy day for me because I wash all our clothes and it is already 5pm when I am done which is time for me to cook dinner. After we ate dinner I clean the kitchen and go to my room. I still did not receive a text from him. I am about to cry when I receive a call. It is Jam so I answered it. “Hey cousin are you free tomorrow?” Jam said. Yes I am. I answered. “Great! Can you go with us tomorrow at the restaurant it is just near in our place?” Alright but I don’t have money. “No worries. I am the one who invited you so I will pay for it.” Jam said. Alright then! My mode lightens up a bit. Thanks to Jam. Now if John will forget me that quick I will let him. I know that it is only hard at first.
It is already morning and I got up from my bed with a heavy heart. Today supposed to be our anniversary but he seems like forgot about it. Starting this day I will hang out with my friends again. I won’t cry with boys anymore and will embrace life being single. I still did not receive a text or call from him so I did not bother to check my phone after. I keep myself busy in other stuffs so that my mind will be diverted to other things. It is almost dark and the table is already set. When Papa arrives from work I told him that Jam invited me for a dinner so I cannot join them. I change right away so that I won’t be late. We need to be in the restaurant by 7pm. Jam and friend will wait me there. I also decided to have some drinks tonight so that I can try how it feels to get drunk. I already take a ride going to the restaurant so after a few minutes I already arrive and it is still 6:40. Today is Wednesday so I noticed that there’s only a few people. Earlier Jam told me to wear a dress because we will have some dinner with some of her friends. So I am wearing a simple dress tonight. When I got off from the tricycle my eyes are roaming around to look for Jam. I did not find her and her friends. I am at the right restaurant? How come they are not here? I thought to myself. I don’t understand suddenly my heart beats so fast and I noticed that someone is already at my back so I turn around. To my big surprise it is John with a boquet of flowers and chocolate. I was set up! That b***h. I runaway because I don’t want to make a scene. John chase me and hold my arm. My tears are falling now so I face him because I am so angry at him. He did not bother to text or call me for a few days and now he will just showed up like nothing happens. I thought you already gone I am started to move on John. He is only smiling and greeted me. “Happy Anniversary Babe. I am sorry because I did not text or call you because that’s already a plan. If you just knew how I sacrifice not to talk to you just to fulfill this plan.” John said. I cry even more and hug him tight. I am so happy that I heard that all was only a planned to surprise me today and it is successful. John invited me to go back inside so that we can eat. We both happy eating dinner now. “You don’t even have an idea that there’s a sabotage happening Babe. You are so special to me so I wanted you to remember this day. Every anniversary I will make it special I am started to plan our next anniversary now.” John said. I am so happy hearing that because I can feel that he don’t have any plan in giving up our relationship. God can you please give me this man as my future husband? I prayed in silent. I hope that this day won’t end.
