Chapter 7
Just because you miss someone doesn’t mean you need them back in your life. Missing is just a part of moving on. Moving on doesn’t mean you forget about things, it just means you have to accept what happened and continue living. Don’t waste your time looking back for what you have lost, move on for life wasn’t meant to be traveled backwards.
You will never find the right person if you force the wrong person to be right for you.
Once you’ve made the decision to move on, don’t look back. You will never find your future in the rear view mirror. The only thing a person can ever really do is keep moving forward. Take that big leap forward without hesitation, without once looking back. Simply forget the past and forge towards the future.
Don’t insist on things that are impossible.
Love includes the word LIBERATION.
Sometimes it’s very hard to move on, but once you do, you’ll realize it’s the best decision you’ve ever made. No matter why things are changing, we need to be able to let go and move on. Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it. Because if you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.
I really loved Alex before. So I cry. Because it hurts. There are memories I try to forget but keep coming back. Until Yuan teaches me how to love myself. That’s when I finally let go of the memory of yesterday. The love that was not fulfilled because I loved the wrong person.
Back in School days…
In a very beautiful place in the Philippines is the province of Cavite. I grew up and thought here but I was born in Manila. My family and I moved here when I was just five years old. In the big house of my Grandfather and Grandmother, we lived with my parents and three brothers. My father is a Civil Engineer while Mama is a house wife. Papa is in Brunei and only Mama is with us. I grew up with my cousins. I am now seventeen years old and studying at De La Salle University-Dasmarinas as a college student. I am with my friend Miles Mourte-Kenshin. We always went to school together every day.
My love started when I met Alex before Yuan. I loved Alex so much because he was so kind and so considerate. He made me feel that I have nothing to fear or worry as long as he is there. It is very tender and jealous. So I loved him even more because of his attitude. Until he left for treatment because he had a heart disease.. That was the reason for our separation. When Alex was gone, Yuan came into my life, there wasn’t a day that he didn’t make me happy whenever I was sad. He was the one who wiped my tears and he wiped away the sadness and pain that was caused to me in the past.
“Hershey! Let’s go now. We have something to do at school. Come on!” I could hear Miles yelling. But here I am still combing my hair. It’s so annoying having this long wavy hair. It’s too long, I just got a haircut.
“Yes, wait!” I shouted, because it would be annoying if I didn’t answer.
After six minutes of combing and grooming myself, I came down. I saw her coming back to the living room. Can’t be bothered with too much boredom waiting. I grinned. I’m here! She’s going to have a good time..
“What are you doing, HERSHEY?! I’ve been waiting for you for a while. We’re going to be late. You’re acting like a VIP. Let’s go!” she pulled me. I just laughed while pulling her. Even if this Miles is really noisy. She overpowered my mother for being a nagger. Silly!
“What time is it?! Gosh! We’re Doom if we didn’t pass our homework to our teacher. Yes, we are always done with our homework, but in your case we’re always late! Oh God! Before we pass it to our teacher, here we are, we are always late. You’re really a bad friend.” she said angrily and frowned.
“What?!” I asked seriously. I know that she can’t stand me. I just laughed when she didn’t answer.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
We are about to enter first year college. But I’m still reprimanded. I’m smart but it’s really just a rebuke.
I turned around. While listening to Miles’ endless sighs. I smirked.
She will be an old lady to me soon.
I turned to her when she suddenly spoke.
“We’ve reached the school. Hurry!” We swiped our ID and ran quickly inside. Manong Guard almost scolded us because it is forbidden to run on the Campus especially up the stairs. The elevator was always full so we were forced to take the stairs. The room of the fourth year is still on the 8th floor.
“You look like a horse…” I teased Miles. She automatically snorted and pouted. Then I just laughed at her.
We ran hand in hand. Almost all the students looked at us. Almost all of us get the attention. That’s the effect of the two of us together.
“Isn’t that Hershey and Miles? They’re so cute!”
“Miles is very sexy! And Hershey is really cute even though her height is cute!”
Those are just some of the things I often hear guys say when Miles and I pass by. We are also used to ignoring them.
We were stunned because the girls were gathering in the hallway. Some are still waiting on the side. They all seemed excited and seemed to be sprinkled with salt. I immediately raised my eyebrows there.
“What’s up?” Miles asked. I just shrugged.
I stopped walking again when I saw two pairs of shoes blocking and stopping in front of me.
“KYAAAHHH! There he is guys!”
“Hayyyy! So handsome it’s makes you swoon!”
“It’s like I just want to be the floor! It’s okay even if he steps on me! Shet! He’s handsome!”
When I raised my eyes, I saw Yuan’s handsome face. Frich Yuan Lim-Guerrero, has a sharp nose, fair complexion, perfect face shape, kissable lips, black eyes, badboy looks. He apologized. He is the number 1 most popular on campus. A famous billionaire, their Family is already very rich. The man is half Chinese, hence the strength of his past. They own so many Businesses in different corners of the world. Shit! Even if it’s my boyfriend. It’s really intimidating when you face him! He’s so handsome! I feel like my panties are falling off!
“He’s really handsome!”
“I hope you’re all happy when you have such a handsome and rich boyfriend! OMG!”
“Let’s have lunch together later, Han. I’ll pick you up from your classroom?” he said in a serious voice. I couldn’t answer right away because I was really starstruck when I was in front of him. Shame! Is it too obvious that I’m so attracted to him? Geez!
“Okay. I’ll wait for you.” I said smiling later. He took my bag even though we were close to the classroom. He took me there. Miles is constantly elbowing me because the witch and other people are more excited than me.
