"Rechazo"

"sir, crush kita kahit na sobrang sungit mo." i said.

"gusto ko maging honest sayo. hindi tipo mo ang gusto ko. let's just be friends". he answered.

Courtship is an activity where in a person is developing a romantic relationship with somebody.He might give something or does something for him to win the heart of the girl. Usually, men do such activities for the girl they like the most. They give flowers, chocolates, teddy bears and letters. But what if a girl will court a boy?

Last year, I worked as a secretary at my auntie's computer sales shop located at Gilmore, Quezon City. My first day went smooth because I was just oriented to the products. However, on the second day, I felt different and I'm very much nervous because of the manager (that I would be working with), that my auntie introduced to me. He looks so cute even if he is grouchy.

It was late in June that I realized that I already fallen in love with this guy. He doesn’t mind me as I expected. But because of my feelings and instincts I pursued my feelings unto him. One night, I waited for him and I asked him if I could join a ride with him. He just nod and go. On our way, he didn't mind me and walked fast as if I'm not around. I rode a bus with him even if it’s out of my way. At last he spoke, "diba dapat magfx ka? bakit ka magbabus?". "Hindi. Okay lang gusto lang kita makasabay umuwi. Pwede ba sir?". he didn't answer and put back the earphones on his ear.

At the bus, I texted him.

"sir, crush kita kahit na sobrang sungit mo." i said.

"gusto ko maging honest sayo. hindi tipo mo ang gusto ko. let's just be friends". he answered.

That was really my first time to court a man and rejected. I felt so bad because I didn't expect that he would be so harsh that he did. I realized that he was really different from any other man. From that day, I kept distance from him and talked with him in civil. I never brought him brunch and insisted to join him a ride. But in the end, he courted me because he realized that he really loves me. Now that were going to have our first year anniversary this month, I just smile whenever I remember that scene in my life.

Truly, if you really love the person, sexuality doesn't matter in any ways. What's matter the most is to have the person you really love the most.
