Me and A: Not a lovestory

There is one individual in our lives that will only passed by to allow us learn something in life. This individual is not an admirer or crush. Well, some people could observe us chatting with each other but for us, it's simply a random chikas or random discussions.

Let me share with you a story of this man named A. I can tell you that he is extremely lovely and so masculine. He has a similar appearance to Kit Thompson, and everyone in our rooms adores him. He has tattoos on his shoulder and that's why some females in the college regard him as so attractive oppa. I am in a relationship at that time thus I maintain separating myself from the males. As much as possible, I don't want to entertain them since I don't enjoy having much time with some random people at college. At that moment, me and my companion is really very attached that I don't want to get along with other males.

Going back to A...

So this 23-year-old man exhibits amazing manhood and kindness in his approach. I recall the moment when I am simply getting along with other females in our block and then suddenly he interrupted us and joined some chats. Because the semester had just got begun, we were able to get to know each other. Because we also have a sitting arrangement which is alphabetical order, there are times that the two of us shared 1 desk.

I can tell you how brilliant is he was at that time. He just doesn't want to raise his hand in every discussion but if the prof summons him, he can respond it so powerfully. And because I am also competitive in class, we prefer to talk about some things and spend some time reviewing the other subjects. There are also a time when we discussed in 1 group and when we reported our topic, the professor and our classmates laud us two and they mentioned that we are good to be partners. I can agree with the truth since I don't want to befriend certain persons that is very "pabigat" in our group. For me, I prefer to be grouped in the most intellectuals in the class and happily, I had him.

As time passes by, we are being close to one other. At that time, I have informed him that I am not like the other girls. Good thing that he is also in a relationship at that time thus our company is simply like siblings. When people will see us conversing, they will prefer to cheer us but we have claimed that what we have at that moment is merely partnership like brother and sister. I don't understand why they always ship us but I don't think that we simply truly show nothing but just good buddies.

And that's what i hate to some of our blockmates that time. Alam nyo ung feeling na wala naman kayong pinapakitang kung ano or malisya pero pag iisipan pa din kayo ng masama or tsismis.

When I talked him about that, we just laughed at each other. He even said "yucckkk, di kita papatulan no" and I was like "lalo ka naman, ung laki mo pa lang di na kaaya aya sa paningin ko, ang sakit mo pa sa mata'', and then we will just laugh hard. But actually, we shared the same vibes. I can tell you how good is he was to me.

I cannot forget him because he is really genuinely part of me. Not an admirer nor a crush.  I really truly praise him for being one of the excellent people I met back in the year 2019. One of the finest bits of advice he offered me years ago is to not push myself very hard. He also assist me to build up my confidence since every time that I will talk, he will stare at me like he was really liked my opinions. I also recall that around the time I was injured, he really took care of our research since I cannot be able to walk well for days.

For me, he was like a brother. And I know how much he took care of me as well as his own sister. I really knew our deep connections because there is no malice on it. It was truly genuine.

When the pandemic started and the last day in our school because lockdown will be implemented, we didn't have a chance to talk anymore. We are not friends on Fb that is why I don't have any news about him and the same as him.

But it's fine. I know he is doing great and healthy up to this day. I know he is. And I am still waiting for the face-to-face to meet him and the others again in school. I just hope he will still study there.

To my not-biological brother A,

I hope that I will see you again in RTU so that I can flex you now the romantic relationship that I am having now. You tend to tease me about my relationship so when I see you the next semester, I will now ask for your answer in the betting game that we promised last 3 years ago.

But of course, thanks for being a great brother to me back then.

Till we meet again.
