They say, "We deserve to love and be loved." Well then, are you willing to love someone even if you become his/her the other one? What if it came to the point that you are the one who will provide for his/her family? Are you willing to become martyr because of that love you felt for him/her? Or will you choose to let go of that love even if it will be hard for you to do so, and accept that kind of love can't work out anymore?

Yay! Its Friday again! Friday night-out again! (Ohh, "Sanaol" may friday flyday night-out.HeheXD) What are your plans for today fellas? Hmm...Just don't forget to take good care of yourselves, huh! Anyways, for today's article, let me share a story based on a radio drama I've heard recently. Well, you know, in times like this, I don't have a particular topic to write on about my personal life, so as for today, this piece will be worked out of personal thoughts regarding the issues currently happened in the society.
Did you experienced to become an ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend? Or do you have it? To make it clearer, let me tell you the story...
--->(I renamed the characters of this story!!! Riza is the letter sender.)<---
________________________
Riza is currently working as an OFW in Qatar. She is a single mom. And the reason why she decided to work abroad is because of her two daughter. As what she said, she wants them to have a good future, that is why, even it is hard to be far away from them, she will endured it. So, she left her daughters in the care of her mother.
Riza had a long time ex-boyfriend but now married and have his own family. He's name is Cesar. Riza and Cesar still have a communication thru skype or video calls. As for Cesar, he is working as an office staff.
Every now and then, both of them had a talk, especially during break times, even at night. As for Cesar's wife, they had a conflict, that is why, as what Cesar said in their video call, his wife went to their province temporarily to have a peace of mind.
Unknowingly, Riza said that she still have a feelings for Cesar. Cesar was shocked to know the truth coming from her ex-girlfriend before, that was Riza. He also said to Riza that he still love her. (Hay naku! May mauuto na naman!) And after that revelations, they began to have a relationship. Let me say, "A Forbidden Relationship!"
Riza decided to have a two-months vacation in the Philippines. Given the fact that she missed her daughters so much, this is also the chance for her and Cesar to meet each other again. So, Riza and Cesar really met each other. They exchanges hi-hello and eat together and spent the night together, even though it was not right. Riza became Cesar's mistress. But as for Riza, at that time, she thought that it was right, as long as, no one could discover it, especially their both families. They met each other secretly.
After two months of vacation, Riza went back to Qatar and had signed a new contract. Months later, she noticed that she didn't have her monthly visit.(Period. Lol.XD) And with that, she then thought that she was pregnant. At first, she didn't informed Cesar about her situation. But Cesar did noticed that something was wrong because everytime he asked for a photo of Riza, she just sent to him a half-body picture. Cesar forced her to tell the truth. So Riza did.
One time, as what Riza stated, she sent Cesar some money because Cesar asked her. She sent Php 15, 000 without informing her family about it. She even gave Cesar a monthly allowance. (May T-A-N-G-A na naman) Riza has a co-worker named Letty. As a good friend, Letty forced her to stop doing it because she noticed that Cesar was just using her. She even let Riza looked at their Cesar's Facebook posts with a caption, "feeling blessed" and with a photo of his family went on shopping. But Riza insisted that Cesar's wife kept his ATM card.
One time, Riza asked Cesar to planned about their upcoming baby. She asked if Cesar could take care of it, because she want to sent the baby in the Philippines after she give birth. Cesar on his side, planned that they should just let his Uncle who was in Dumaguete at that to take care of it, and let him be his father, as is, so that they can avoid any conflict in both families because of the issue. Cesar's Uncle agreed to it, as long as they will provide for the needs of the child. But it turns out that Riza was just given a high hopes. She expected that everything was already settled.
Riza asked Cesar about it, but it feels like Cesar doesn't care anymore. One time, she confronted Cesar and they came to the point that they have a very serious conflict by exchanging hurtful words.
Riza:
"That's the only thing I've been asking for you Cesar but you can't do it."
"I gave everything you want and everything you need."
"I even provided for your family because I understand your situation, but why you can't do this thing that I've been asking for you?"
Cesar:
"So now, you are counting all the things you have done for me, huh?"
"Don't worry, I will paid everything you have given to me! Every cents!"
Riza:
"Its not what you think Cesar!"
"This is our child!"
"And I thought, I could lend on you for this, but it turns out, I can't!"
"You are just letting me handle the situation."
"And you know what, let me clear to you, from this day onward, I will never ever let you be part of my life."
"You can never be the father of this child Cesar!"
"You don't deserve to be!"
Riza blocked him on all of her social media accounts, and even in her contacts. As for Cesar, as what Letty said to her, he asked about Riza's contact informations but Letty was asked by Riza not to give it to him. So as for Letty, she just followed Riza's request.
Riza decided to informed her family about the situation and unfortunately, she was accepted and forgiven, especially with her two daughters. And then, at last, Riza realized that she don't need a man in her life. That she can go on with life even without it. She have her family to lend on, and support her all throughout.
The end...
_R---E---N---R---E---N---16-π_
Well, Riza did her best to let go of that love. Provided the fact that she was eaten by her hate and anger because of what Cesar did to her, I must say, it the right choice and I am proud to her that even if she was then tempted by becoming a mistress, but at the end, she found her way out and see the brighter side of life. She has a reason to strive in life now, her FAMILY. Her children, that soon to be three. ^_^
I just realized that, Love really requires a lot of patience too. "Aigoo! Ang dami talagang nagiging marupok pagdating sa Love, noh?" How about you fellas? What will you do if you will be in a situation the same as Riza's? Would you mind sharing it in the comment section?
Thank you for reading!βΊοΈπ
TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!π
