Turon, my Turon. Where do I start? I met this guy years, years back when he was still a gangly boy, nothing but a part of a boisterous group of other guys who talks of nothing but Counter Strike, Mister Donut, CAPTURED!, AB girls, 1S2, etc. etc. He first talked to me via a text message together with a good buddy of his, just testing to see if I would reply. He coyly asked me if I was the one collecting the payment for our laboratory manual, haha! STYLE! Little by little I noticed him more and more. Suddenly he was everywhere, in front of me during our English class (though up till now he still insists that the reason he sat there was because of the aircon), on my phone calling me every other day (haha!) except Thursday of course, every minute ‘texting’ me asking trivial questions but sadly I would only reply yes and no cutting our text conversations short. As days pass by, his calls and text messages would get more frequent, it came to a point wherein we would stay until 12mn, (or until my big sis goes to sleep, whichever comes first) just to talk on the phone. We started getting to know each other more and I started to get used to this guy knowing personal things about me. I had gotten used to his ugly voice on the phone :p, his morning greetings via text message and his good nights at the end of each day. To say it simply, he grew on me. His presence became an exciting factor of my college years. We would talk and talk for hours on the phone but not say one word to each other in class… that is until I called him on that. That was when he decided to finally talk to me in class. That day everyone’s eyes were on us, that was the day when everybody knew that something was up, that was the start of endless teasing and joking. That was also the start of our roller coaster ride of courtship. According to him that was the only time that he courted somebody, which also made it the first time he got busted… twice. OUCH! Talk about first time. Though that did not stop him, he still persisted which I must say paid off! Looking back to our start definitely brings a smile on my face (I dunno about him though, LOLZ).
To talk about our relationship would take up days and days on end. Needless to say we have our fair share of relationship problems, heck I would even say that we have more than our fair share of troubles. We had our first fight merely a month after we got together and our last fight just hours ago… LOLZ! When there are a lot of arguments going on, it just means there’s a lot of passion between the two of us. I have hurt him and he has hurt me. But even with that, we can’t seem to leave each other. Heaven knows how much he has hurt me, still I stick with him. My Turon, never did it occur in my mind that someone would try to breaks us apart. I have been living in such a sheltered life, with friends and family all wishing that we end up together. What a slap in the face, a wake up call. In the real world, nothing is that easy. Countless times I have mulled over leaving him, yet at the back of mind I know that being with him still is the best choice for me, for my happiness. And I know that he thinks the same as well. Even with our helluva serious problem, we still tough it out and just see where the wind brings us, ‘Bahala na si Batman’ ika nga.
Being in this relationship has taught me a lot of things, being patient for one, and being less bratty and spoiled as well. He has taught me how to be understanding of others’ needs, be caring and concerned for other people before myself… and for that I thank him, for all the experiences, happy memories, ugly and sad ones and for the future memories that we would be making as well. I thank him for teaching me how to be strong in this world and also for teaching me how to wage war with b!tcH<$/$lut$ who just wont quit. (Hello?? Get a clue!).
I can say that he has truly enriched my life with his mere presence. He is able to bring color and excitement with each day that I’m with him. I cannot predict my future, nor the future of our ‘volatile’ relationship. I can only hope that no matter what more hardships and trials that we face, we may be able to weather through it and come out to be a stronger and more resilient couple. I can only pray that whatever the future holds for me, that it will still include Turon, my Turon.
