By: Shyna D. Bucao

Being in a relationship is not easy. You are obliged to face all the commitments
and responsibilities ofbeing taken. You are committed only in one person. You
should be loyal and faithful with your partner. And lastly, you should trust your
partner and believe on his loyalty. But what if the problem you are facing with
your partner is not a common problem unlike the other couples? Having a two-
year boyfriend,

Patricia became more brave and confident to face all the circumstances in her life.
She tried to be the best girlfriend only to prove that she's worth to have. She
supports Gerald, her boyfriend, everytime. Be with his side every minute and
showed her love for him every second.

Gerald, in return, gave Patricia the love she deserves. But just like the other
couples, arguments and disagreements are hard to avoid. Until break up is the
only option to end the pains, both are feeling.

Patricia's friends are all worrying about her. About what she's feeling with her first
break up and about the untold problem, the couples had. Filled with anger and
pity, her friends confronted Gerald for what he had done to Patricia. But the
confrontation didn't last that long since they're also friend.

The broken girl decided to have a closure with her boyfriend. They meet up in a
near convenience store and the hidden story behind the happenings are vulgar.

Gerald speak his side and explained what he wants. Being so vulnerable, Patricia's
broken heart melted for what she'd heard. She forgave the guy and gave him a
second chance and the two ended up loving each other despite of their mistakes
and wrong decision.

Their story might like the love story of others. But since destiny is the one who
choose the sequence, they have no choice but to go with the flow, pass the
challenges and fight for what they love. And in this case, only one thing is proven
and that is, Love conquers everything.

As for now, Patricia and Gerald are living their life happily. They became more
stronger and tough enough to handle their relationship. They became more
matured to understand each other. And the best thing that happened after the
problem, is that they loved each other more than before.

Since the lovers are not studying in the same school, it is hard for them to find a
free time. but it never become a problem for them since they are both legal in
their families.

But now, every weekend, Gerald visited Patricia at their house to catch up with
her. Every Sunday, they go to church to talk to Him and thank for having each
other. This is the way of Gerald showing love for her girlfriend.

That is the story behind the relationship of the two. And the rest was history.

"kahit wala ng love, basta mag-stay ka lang" —Patricia

This line doesn't shows desperateness. It shows a genuine and pure love. That you
are willing to get hurt but not to lose the person you love.

In every love story, we learn new things. And in their story, we learned a lesson,
an advice, and a things to be applied in life.

"For every love was worth the risk"
