A FILIPINA MEET ADAM

TRUE TO LIFE STORY"You are the most amazing, funny, smart, kind and beautiful firecracker"

I graduated from a prestigious school somewhere in Davao 6 years ago, with a degree in Business Administration.

A year after, I went here in South Carolina to fulfill my dreams.

My eldest sister married an American and she thought, maybe my future is there, so yeah, I grabbed the opportunity.

First 5 months of staying there, I got a job in an office with a part time job every after my shift, coz I'm not yet regular at that time, kumbaga murag trainee pa, it's an advertising company and I need to learn more.

My part time job was in a coffee shop, I'm a waitress there. The wife of the owner is a Filipina so it was easy for me to get that job.

Now what's this confession all about?

While I'm working at the coffee shop, there was an American guy who's sobbing while drinking his coffee. He's probably 23 or 25 yrs old, tall, blonde and he's sort of a playboy or spoiled rich guy, just like in movies.

We are about to close and he's still there, sitting and swiping his phone, calling someone, he's saying "C'mon, see me pls?" with all the bad words you could imagine that he's saying. He's probably calling his girlfriend. My Filipina boss asked me to tell the guy that we're closing, so i told him, I really thought he's going to flip out the table or smash the mug on to the table. He looked straight to my eyes, and his eyes were reddish and puffy from crying, and then he said "Okay."

I usually take a bus when I'm out at 7pm or I walk when I'm out at 5pm, in order to be familiar with all the places.

It took, I think 20 mins of waiting for the bus, and Oh no, that guy from the coffee shop was walking towards the bus stop. There's 5 of us waiting there, including him, so finally, thank God the bus is here. He sat next to me in the bus, and when i looked at the back, there are many vacant seats, and yet, he's there, right next to me. I was thinking at that time, maybe this is some kind of another Nicholas Sparks's novel that came into reality, but this guy looks like a psycho, while in the movies, it's always the hot guys.

My nerves shocked when he said "Hi" to me, I don't want to be rude so I said the same too.

He said "You're not American right? What are you?"

"I'm a Jedi (Star Wars)" I said. And he laughed and said, "That's a good one. Srsly, what's your citizenship?"

"I'm a Filipina." I replied. "That explains why you've got stunning tan skin and you're hobbit height." He replied while smiling.

I just replied "I'll take that as a compliment bcoz of the word stunning."

"Srsly tho, you're pretty." He said.

And our conversation continued the whole ride, till he went off the bus. He bid goodbye and thanked me for a nice conversation, you might wondering why he cried, his girlfriend cheated on him and the girl won't talk to him anymore. I waved my hand while I'm watching him smiling at me, and suddenly when the bus is lurching forward he get into the bus and said "I forgot to ask for you number." and yes, I gave it.

His name is Adam. Adam is a 25yr old licensed architect with no plan of using his degree to work bcoz his family is already rich and he is complicated. We became friends. He is the kind of guy who flirts without admitting that he's flirting, but not me, I had 2 boyfriends before when I was in college and I may not know all things about relationship and flirting but I do know one thing, not this guy, he will just break my heart. Once in a week he will go to our house, which is my ate's house and he usually stay and sleepover there. We consider each other as bestfriend, we sleep together in one bed, we cuddle, spooning and we kiss but NO S**.

I remember he told me,
"You're the kind of girl every guy would fall with but not me, you're just not the real deal."

I feel the same way too, he is not the real deal too. I maybe adapted this kind of state attitude that it's okay if we do things like this even if we're just friends. I need to admit, it's fun.
But that fun, I think it's like a pokemon, it evolves... into somewhat like a deep affection. Adam is a mess, even my sister and American bro-in-law said that there's no comfortable future in Adam.

Now I get secretly jealous when Adam is dating another girl and another girl and another girl. In God's grace I have a great position now in my job, I get myself busy, I'm a dating a guy, he's a 33yr old Canadian and a businessman, I met him during the baby shower of my sister, he's a friend of my bro-in-law. 2months of dating this amazing man bonus na nga hot siya, I'm slowly forgetting Adam. He's texting me, at night he calls me, drunk, sobbing then the next day, he'll text me that he met this another amazing woman, they had s** and so whatever.. and then i thought, I need to help him, he's my bestfriend.

We met, I'll never forget what he wears that day. A powdered blue color polo, white pants, brown shiny shoes. No more short, spiky gelled hair but instead a sleek back hair, and a black watch. He really looks handsome that day, like damn, good Lord. We started talking, I asked him what might be his problem that he's acting like a wasted human, like a prick.

He said,
"I'm living the moment. Cherishing my life."

I got really pissed off with his answer.
"I don't really wanna talk about how messy my life is. I wanna walk with you, it's okay if you don't speak I'm comfortable with silence. Walk with me?" He said.

While we're walking he was holding my hand, he's shaking and I look at him he's about to cry.
"You know even if I'm a hobbit I think you can lean down and cry on my shoulder." I said.
He hugged me, a hug that totally lift my feet off the ground.

(I'm totally, literally crying right now)
And then, he said, probably one of the most amazing line I'll never forget.

"You are the most amazing, funny, smart, kind and beautiful firecracker who blew me away. I thank God that even if he is about to erase me in the world, I met you. I have always love you and I'm sorry if I can't be with you coz I'm a mess, and I'm dying."

I was shocked when I heard the word "dying" he is sick. He burst out and started crying hard, I was crying too. He keeps on repeating the words "I'm sorry and I love you". I was a little bit mad, coz if he really loves me, he rather spent his remaining time with me than continue messing his life. I kissed him and that's the final kiss I will never forget.

"I just want you to know, Adam, I love your mess. I love you too."

1 year after Adam left us, bone cancer. Now, I went home diri sa Davao coz I'm getting married. I'm marrying the Canadian businessman.

And I know, Adam, wherever you may be, I know you're happy. I thank God I was able to met you and experienced a novel-like-experienc­e that we had. I thought it's only in movies, novels, etc. but No, it happens in real life too. I miss you Adam. I will never forget the day that you sobbed in that coffee shop, when you sat next to me in the bus and called me, stunning tan skin with a hobbit height.

Love always,
Your firecracker
