He was my classmate in my first year in highschool and since then we've became friends, we belong to the same peer. Although we weren't really that close to develop a love-relationship back then, I remember that we would often tease each other and fight with each other. Among my male friends, he was the one whom I'd describe as naive. During highschool, while every guy in the campus was busy checking out pretty girls, Gerald on the other hand, was busy with basketball. I never heard of him courting other girls.

He was always at our village. If not at our house, he was at the basketball court, playing with my neighbors who were also schoolmates of ours. Even then, I never envisioned us getting married and having our own family.

We graduated, went to college and had our separate lives. I haven't seen him in years. He really wasn't visible compared to my other highschool peers. We would often meet, every weekend normally, but Gerald was never there. During our entire college years I remember seeing him once or twice. The thought of him never crossed my mind since then.

My relationships back in college were fleeting moments.I have loved and lost. I played around and I was fooled to perfection. I had fun, I was happy and I was hurt. I experienced a lot and I have always thought that my lovelife is a tragedy.

Then I started to get tired of believing. I was tired of chasing rainbows.

One day, I decided to come back and see my friends, they are the ones who really make me happy. It was a clean break for me. It was the right timing because it was the 10th year anniversary of our peer. It was fun reminiscing our highschool days. The days when all we have to think of is our weekly allowance, our school projects, our notebooks and our crushes.

When we're together we are carefree. We dance under the rain, we play in the mud and we eat with an appetite of a horse.

Gerald was there, he was back. Things were totally different for both of us and when I saw him again, the first time after so many years, we were at the church, our highschool parish. He was standing right next to me and I felt something strange. I thought to myself, I missed him.

Few more days passed, we went out of town, attended so many parties with the whole bunch of friends, we had dinner together, we were text messaging each other, we ride the bus together, we watch movies together, the next thing I knew...

I was falling again.

I tried to bridle whatever emotions I have towards him. I was scared. I certainly don't want to lose a friend like him, especially a friendship that lasted for a decade. But no matter how you restrain your heart from loving, it will always come out and radiate in one's eyes.

The kiss

After 6 months of dating, we got married and now we have a beautiful 4-month old baby boy. The whole year of marriage was not easy as well. We had to deal with a lot of problems especially because my pregnancy was unplanned. We had to deal with my mom, with finances, a new place for us and we had to deal with each other during those bad times. We argue once in a while, just like any married couple, but we also know how to laugh a good laugh. We remained friends even though we are lovers.

All I am praying for is a love made to last, a marriage bound by trust, respect and laughter.

I guess, everything really is on the lap of God.

We took the risk and the best thing in this world happened to me... I finally found love.
