They say that first love never dies. It is so nice to dwell on our childhood past. Sometimes, it brings happiness; other times, it brings sadness. It was so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.☺️ It feels good at an early age that our parents and the people around us want us to stay together. Maybe we would have stayed together if my family had not moved to Davao City and if I had not studied in Manila.😔

Be that as it may, we weren't meant for each other. Even to this day, his siblings still communicate with me and always say, a sister-in-law that we never had. 🤩 You won't believe the antics of his generous-to-a-fault eldest brother! On some occasions, when he and his brother visit the province, he finds the most creative ways for us to chat. He would ask his brother to call pretending that we were discussing the upcoming class reunion. 🤣 He even tips me off, "Shhh...just play your cards close to your chest. My brother's over-possessive wife's eyes have a cloak and dagger!" It’s so funny and I would just laugh at him. By the way, the wife is well aware that her mother-in-law adores me a lot, which makes her a bit envious!

The funniest thing, and it spells it out even more, is that she’s befriended me on social media. I couldn’t help but burst with laughter as I told her, “Hey, it’s been decades! We both have our own lives now, so there’s no need for concern—I’m no serpent!”🤗 Be happy and secure.
