Sheena's POV
Gwen decided to take up Veterinary Medicine at De La Salle Araneta University as she had always planned, while I continued pursuing my course in CEU. We promised that even if we didn't see each other every day, we would do our best to make our relationship work. That no matter how hard it would be, we would always fight for each other.
I thought everything was okay between the two of us. Well, of course, not being together most of the times was a big adjustment, I didn't think that it was enough to ruin us, as our love was bigger than any problem that would confront us.
I guess I was wrong. Everything changed.
Our daily updates became thrice a week. Our Sunday dates became once a month, minsan nagmamadali pa siya dahil kailangan niya na raw umuwi at mag-aral. I am very supportive at gusto kong inuuna niya ang pag-aaral niya kesa sa akin. I want her to grow and to reach for her dreams. Pero minsan, hindi ko maiwasang tanungin ang sarili ko kung nasanay nalang ba siya na andito ako, na kailangan niya nalang ng mapagsasabihan tuwing hindi niya na kaya ang struggle sa academics.
Hindi ako nagsasalita, madalas dinadaan ko sa jokes at pasimpleng mga banat ang nararamdaman ko. But deep inside, I am this still this young little Sheena Mae who seeks for a little attention and love.
I sip on my latte as I scan my notes. Hirap din naman ako sa school and studying almost every night wasn't my thing. Ginawa ko pa rin because giving a comfortable life for Gweneth became my motivation. Sunlight streams through the window, casting a warm glow on my face. A smile tugs at my lips as I read Gwen's text.
Love: Thinking of you. Miss you. Can't wait to see you tonight :)
My heart flutters. It's been years, and yet, Gwen still has this effect on me. We've been through thick and thin together, our love is constant amidst the ever-changing world. Siguro naman makakayanan namin ito. Pagkatapos naman siguro ng College, magiging okay din ang lahat.
My condo buzzes with activity. I hurries around the kitchen while cooking and setting the table for two. The scent of garlic and basil fills the air with a familiar comfort.
Gwen walks in, her shoulders slumped, a tired sigh escaping her lips.
"Hey there, love! You look beat. School rough?" I asked cheerfully as I welcome my girlfriend with a cheerful smile.
