Talkin’ ‘Bout My Guy and our Story

Jerry Saniano Alcantara…

It became easy for me to find comfort in his friendship way back 2001. He is a humorous person with a big heart. Unlike his picture, he was very skinny then (not an attractive sight if I may say so…) .

He filled a new position in our department and by that, we have to see each other everyday, do our jobs together, eat at the same time and place at meal breaks, share jokes and begin constant conversations. At some point in time, I’ve had my heart broken and there he is, at his most memorable first liners with me… “Smile… maybe love is just one seat apart…” .

He is a natural comical person and I was still attached (at least emotionally) with another, I didn’t bother about it not until he asked me to go out with him. We ate in the late afternoons and early evenings after office. Watched movies, accompanied me home, and chat our way while watching the television. Typical as it may sound but our relationship came to where we are now and the rest is history.

I may say I am lucky finding him along the way when I was really down. The love, as he said, one seat a part from me really made me wear a smile. He is not perfect. His flaws pained me, much worst, endangered our relationship to an early end. Despite of this, I never lost my feelings towards him and his efforts and admissions made me realize further how much I appreciate him. He not a wordy and “show-off” guy, but he has his unique way of pleasing me and drawing me near him.

We are still understanding each other’s behavior, taming each other’s temper, sharing hopes and dreams, celebrating triumphs and achievements, and most of all, enduring life’s trials and challenges.

Our relationship grew stronger mainly because of him. He is able to understand me at my worst and cheer me up even after a long heated argument. He is the best I have and even the best he could be in my eyes and in my heart.
