Funny? NOT!

It’s funny how things turn out sometimes. Or is it?

Case in point, is Mr. A. He’s been struggling to get out of being stereotyped as the “chickboy” who couldn’t care less about anything in life. He projects the image as if he’s the type who wouldn’t take things life seriously as much as the next person. So he stepped up, improved himself, and aimed to prove everybody wrong. Years passed, he finally made it to become a professional, which only a few would actually endeavor to undergo considering the time, effort and money. He is now destined to earn a lot more than any serious man who would focus on his career. 

So before he was able to achieve where and what he is now, he met Ms. B. They took things slow, having their own priorities in life, being busy with personal growth, extracurricular activities and what-not. Finally, they become a couple, officially. A so wanted B to be the “one” that he made her feel so special more than any girl could ever feel. Unfortunately, B wanted out. B’s not happy anymore.

The funny thing is, all the while that A was preparing for the biggest exam in his life, he was thinking that everything will finally fall to place afterwards. That he will be able to focus on their future. That she will be there to celebrate with him and be there alongside him in building a future for them. 

He was wrong. He is now the professional he struggled for. But now, B’s not in his life anymore. 

All that he said was, “Well, I can’t have it all,” with a sad face.

Now, is that funny? Definitely not. But life goes on. A must move on. A must build his future. And the good thing that came out of this is that he never lost faith and hope that he will find “the one” he deserves. “The one” God had planned for him. Maybe it’ll still be B, maybe another, but in the right time he’ll know. 

Now, that’s maturity. More than anything, he has gained a lot, more than he thinks he had lost.
