I
won’t forget that day, not because of him, but because it’s our Pilot entrance
exam for us to belong in the highest section as we enter high school. I saw him
standing with her ate, in my mind I said “anu ba yan kalalaking tao may kasama pang ate.” Maybe
I said it because I’m jealous; I didn’t have any family member to support me
that day.
No
one knows how much I pray for that exam, it’s for my Mom and to prove something
that I failed when I graduated in elementary. At that age of my life, my priority
in life is my family, to be someone they can be proud of like my brother does. I
remember that time how much promise I made for myself, for me to belong in Pilot
A class. On that day I promised not to fall in love, just studies if ever I will pass
the exam.
Luckily
I passed. I made it; I belong to the Pilot A section, but I failed my promise
to not fall in love and learned that falling in love cannot be controlled as I
thought before.
The
guy I saw on the day that I made my broken promise is same guy I fall in love
with, and he is MY
FIRST LOVE.
