Now, it can be told. The reason why PV dumped me was not because
of his obligation to his family but because he fell out of love
with me. I am not sure how he managed to keep the third party
in our relationship a secret; he was a con-artist.

I had some clues before that there could be another woman but
I just ignored the signs. When you love someone, you give your
100% of trust.

I am not angry at the other woman. More often than not, the reason
why a couple breaks is because one of them cease loving and
fighting for the relationship. PV stopped loving me; he found
someone else and replaced me with her.

God is so good, He let me lose PV to gain Miel. He gave me the signs
that Miel is the One. Thank you, PV, for hurting me in the most
unimaginable way. Now, I can appreciate happiness with Miel because
of the pains that I went through with you.

Bf and I were renting DVD. I went to the sci-fi section while he, to the action section.

One male staff approached me and offered me to try “Jumper.” I told him that I’ve watched that movie. He asked me who the main actor was. I told him it was Hayden Christensen of Star Wars. He asked me if I know of Hayden’s other movies. I told him that he should know more about movies and actors than me because he works in a DVD rental shop. He flirted with me all along while my bf was just a few steps away.

At home, while watching “P2,” Miel narrated what happened earlier. We both had a good laugh at the DVD guy because obviously, he didn’t get that Miel and I are sweethearts!

“Do I look like your elder sister?” I teased him.

“Not at all. He was just a plain flirt; he didn’t notice that I was your bf,” Miel replied.

What will I do if someone will flirt with Miel while I’m with him? Hahaha!

Miel and I had a petty fight last night.

He tried to make peace with me but he really pissed me off so I was hard on him.

He tried to hug me but I asked him to stay away from me.

Out of the blue, I blurted out, “Will you stop doing it, PV!”

Of course, PV was the one who broke my heart, my ex.

I was shocked; unable to believe that I said that, that I mentioned the one who destroyed my faith in love.

Miel’s reaction was like of a surprised child. He didn’t make a big deal out of it.

Last bf syndrome? I don’t think so.

Is this relationship with Miel for real? I don’t want to sound so religious but I feel that he’s the ONE God intends me to be with for the rest of my life. Everything seems so good when I’m with him. I hope it’s not another infatuation. I hope this one will last for a lifetime.

I couldn’t help but compare this relationship with my previous one. Miel loves to pamper me like a princess. This is one thing that PV never did to me. With PV, I didn’t experience being taken cared of. It was always me taking care of myself and the relationship.

There came a time when I was so afraid to love again for fear of getting hurt once more. My previous relationship left me so broken; it was pretty hard for me to trust someone again.

I don’t know why I fell in love with Miel. I don’t know why suddenly, I am not afraid to gamble again.

“I think you’re falling in love with me now,” my new boyfriend said while we were cuddling each other on the bed.

“Of course, I am,” I said.

He is correct in his observation that I am falling in love with him. Eh, sa bait ba naman nyang yun at lambing, sino ba ako na di matunaw?

When I was 10 years old, I felt that I was in love with Andrew. He never returned the feelings and he was my first heartache. It was just an infatuation. I was infatuated on him because of his good looks and great sense of humor.

At 12, Jose captured my young heart. We were in love with each other. He was my kababata, he was my puppy love. Kaso, my father didn’t like him for me because he was a troubled teenager at that time. When he thought that my ex ran away from his responsibility to me, he expressed his disappointment to what happened to me. That was seven years after our puppy love affair.

At 13, Algiers captured my heart mainly because of his high intellect. Just like Andrew, he never reciprocated my feelings.

At 16, I had a steady relationship with the man who later became the father of my child. He seemed to be the prince that I was looking for. But unlike in fairy tales, the real-life prince and princess did not live happily ever after. We ended up in separation after our five-year relationship.

Then came PV who I thought would be the last man in my life. He was ideal and he loved me very much. But a year after, things changed in our relationship. He was no longer the man that I used to know.

When compared to the men that I dated and loved before, my new bf Miel is not devastatingly handsome. We don’t belong in the same social standing. His religious faith is different from mine. But what matters most to me now is how he will love me, how he will accept me for who I am and not for what I am, how he will love my family, how he will commit with me and how he will spend his future with me.

Young women tend to be so idealistic; their idea of romance is having that tall, handsome and rich knight-in-shining armor. I’m not young anymore and I have dated men like that. Having a tall, handsome and rich partner will not guarantee that a woman will be happy in her relationship. Lalo na kung trophy girlfriend ka lang ng bf mo.
