I don't really believe in love at first sight not until I met him.
He made me believe in love at first sight.
He made me believe that in this world full of judgments there still a guy who will love me unconditionally.
He made me feel loved. The love that I am longing.
He made me feel the most beautiful girl in the world.
And then suddenly He replaced me.
~
I met him in an event, a seminar to be exact. It was thursday afternoon. I was in a hurry when I bump into a guy. He is wearing a tuxedo.
"Sorry." I said and smiled
"Clumsy." He replied
"Excuse me? I already said sorry!" I shouted as he turned his back on me
I picked up all my files that scattered on the floor.
Then there is a guy who came out of nowhere to help me.
He was tall, his face, his eyes, his nose and especially his lips.
I stared at him for a couple of seconds. And I realized he's staring at me too.
I blushed.
"Are you okay?" he ask
Oh shit. His voice.
"Yes" I manage to smile
----
Night came. The producer organized a social night. He said it is good to socialize since 1 week ang seminar.
I can't really remember what exactly happen but it was him. The guy who helped me.
He sat beside me.
He introduce himself.
He ask for my name.
He keeps on talking.
I am a shy-type person so I don't speak that much.
*ting
'Zach Aguinaldo sent you a friend request'
'So quick huh.'
The night is not yet over and here he is, sending a request.
I accepted it.
------
We became friends.
We used to hang out whenever we have a time.
Sometimes, we are inviting our friends to join us.
After a couple of weeks, he confessed.
He told me everything.
'Zane, I know this is too quick, but I think I love you'
'I don't know how, but the first time I saw you, my world stops. When you picked your things, I find it cute. Your height is cute'
I don't know how to react. This is the first time that someone did this. No one dares to come near me.
'Archy—'
'I understand' his hands on my face
'No. Let me finish. What if I feel the same way?'
'What do you mean?'
'I love you too'
-------
"Do you Zach take Mira as your lawfully wedded wife?" the priest asked
"I do, father" he replied
That moment, tears started to flow.
He looked at me, all I can see in his eyes was happiness.
I wanted to be happy. I wanted to be happy for him and Mira but I can't.
I thought it was him already.
Fuck these thoughts.
That was the worst thing happened to me.
He made me believe that there was really an 'us'.
He just used me.
The sweetness, I thought it was all for me.
He used me.
He just fucking used me.
Yes, he used me.
I'm a fool to believe in him.
I'm a fool to fall inlove with him.
I believe in his words—sugarcoated words.
I can't take it anymore. I went out of the church.
Tears are continuously flowing.

"You!?"
"You!? Again!?"
We almost shouted.
I'm in shocked.
Who would've thought that he was the guy I bumped way back.
"You know what? You are so clumsy." he jested
"Sorry ha!?" I shouted and turn my back on him
I was ready to go when he called my attention
"Miss, wait!"
"What?!" I'm not in the mood to talk to him
"I think this is yours" he handed me a small box
My eyes grew bigger
This was the box I am looking. It can't be.
"I don't know how that box was on my things"
"Thank you!" I exclaimed and hugged him
He's shocked.
I don't know why he's in shocked.
Is it because of my sudden hug or because he felt an electricity like the I did.
-----
I don't believe in history repeats itself but now, I think I am.
We go out whenever we are free.
He and I dated for months and years.
He courted me.
Until he asked for my hand and I said 'yes'
Who would've thought that we will end up like this?
We are married now.
We already have twins.
And I am happy and proudly to be his Mrs. Villanueva.
