I still remember when my ex boyfriend said, "You deserve a better man". That was the last thing he said to me. I was in 10th grade when he left me. After that, I used my time to get along with my friends and focus on my studies. A year after, I met this guy who is also my classmate. I didn't have an idea that he likes me. He taught me about it but I just laugh at it. Months passed by and we became friends. We're in the same set of friends that’s why it so easy for us to know each other deeper. We used to went to the library and talk about some stuff. We even take our snacks together and even walk together through the jeepney station. He make sure that I am safe every time I go home. As the day passed by, I started to like him too. He is so kind and funny at the same time, he used to make me laugh at all times, he always check me if I am doing fine, and he let me understand some of our subjects specially in mathematics because he's so good at it. I fall in love with his lovely personality but I didn't let him know it yet. Our classmates tend to push us to each other and we just laugh and smile. It was a day in August where our teacher asked me about what I feel towards him. I said that I like him because of his personality. The way he cares for me hits so different. I didn't know that he told our teacher to ask those questions to me, and that day, he knew that I like him too. He became more kind and caring and he even treat me snacks in the canteen even if I didn't asked for it. There was a time when I got sick while I'm in a practice for our Bench Cheering Competition. After that day, where the final competition will start, he bought some energy drink for me so that I won't get dehydrated as what he said. He even massage my head because I got a headache. By that time, I felt that he really cares for me like nobody else does. I wasn't able to have that kind of treatment before. We used to talk about what would be our dream profession someday and it just quite funny that we have the same ambition. Actually, I have a celebrity crush named Zachary David Alexander Efron who is also known as Zac Efron and they have the same name. His name is Zach by the way. I used to tell myself that if ever I met someone whose name is similar to my celebrity crush and has a nice personality, maybe he is the one. But that is not the reason why I love him, it is because of who he really is. It was January that time when he gave me a bracelet. He said that he had set aside money specifically for it in order to give something for me. I really appreciate how he put some effort into the things that he gives to me. We became comfortable to each other. We eat street foods every time we walk through the jeepney station, we even take a couple of hours just to talk about anything. It was 14th day of February, I didn't expect that he would give me something since it was Valentines Day. I really don’t used to receive any presents in any occasions aside from my birthday and Christmas day. So by that day, I didn't have any clue that he would ask me to be his girlfriend. I even stare at him and said, "karon taka sugton?" and we laughed aloud because of that. I got frozen for a while and he said no, I will give you an enough time to think about it. I just want you to know that I am very sincere to you. He even gave me handwritten letter which he read in front me. That was the time when I realized that I am so grateful that I met someone like him. Then there’s this very big problem. The Corona Virus then ruined the whole world. March 15 was the last day we saw each other. I was so amazed that even though months has passed and we don’t have a chance to see each other, his treatment towards me remains constant. We talk everyday and we let each other know what was going on with our day. It was August 10 that time when I decided to tell him that I am ready to have a relationship with him. After a year of being in mutual understanding kind of relationship, I think its time to give him the happiness that he deserves. He was so happy and he even cried when I told him about my decision. I am his first girlfriend and it made me feel more special. He even told his parents about what’s between us and they are both happy for us. Right now, I am in a happy and healthy relationship with the man whom I'm in love with. I know that God really make a way for us to be together. I think my ex boyfriend is right when he said that "I deserve a better man" but I didn't found a better man because I found a man who is not only better, but also the best and that is Zach.
