stupid love

What will you do for love?  I know the question is overrated.  Masyado na madaming beses binigkas ang tanong na ito.  May mga sagot na oh so sweet, kulang na lang eh ilathala na rin ito kahanay ng nobela ng Twin Hearts, Cupid, Romance at kung anek anek pa.  Nariyan din ang mga pang-MMK na tragedy ang effect.  Kung ako tatanungin mo, hindi ko masasabi kung ano kaya ko gawin para sa pag-ibig.  Pero dasal ko lang, mamayani sana ang tamang pag-iisip sa mga pagkakataong kailangan magdesisyon kung hanggang saan ang kaya ko gawin para sa pag-ibig.

 

Last Friday, I received a message from Ryan asking if I could spare him a couple of my time.  He appeared to be in dire need to talk so I phoned him while waiting in line.  As expected, boyfriend problem.  Between you and me, my friends only call me either to confide their heartaches or borrow money.  Of the two, I certainly prefer the later since I don’t have the anda to start with.

 

Sorry I digressed.  Apparently John, his lover, cut him short for a much younger co-worker.  As far as I can remember this was not the first time John was caught with his hands in the cookie jar but still Ryan seemed to forgive him and managed to continue with the relationship.  Banal ka Ryan pero may pagkatanga ka.  For crying out loud, the guy had too many ‘misadventures’, did you missed the sign to call it off?

 

So there we were – me talking, he crying.  I was re-assuring him how perfectly normal to grieve at this point and that he have to move on.  But I was’nt prepared when he told me of the poison letter he sent to John’s kalukadidang copy-furnished John, his managers and almost the entire of his officemates.  I felt bad now that I had to stress how stupid Ryan was for doing that.  Its one thing when your lover fooled around and another when you start dragging other people into the mess.  Bakit kailangan pa umabot sa ganun kadumi yun paghihiwalay niyo?  Don’t you agree with me?

 

Ryan initially averred how he loves John that much that he can’t just go down without a fight.  I know and even I will do the same but never will I bring our dirty laundries out in the public.  It’s plain stupidity.  I don’t know how many times I uttered His most forgiving name.  Not only did he burn the bridge between them but he could have possibly destroyed the guy’s career.  What worried me more is what John might do for payback.  John has the history of resulting to physical means whenever he and Ryan had fights in the past.  I can only imagine the intensity of rage he might me harboring right now for Ryan.

 

Oh my God, I can only pray that You help Ryan with this major screw up he got himself into.
