Letters To Juliet

I was forced to stay at my dorm for 2 days because of my duty, and I am stuck here as we speak with a full stamina gained from a straight 3 hour sleep earlier, right after I have arrived here. Good thing I have my laptop with me so I watched a movie, a one I have downloaded but never got the chance to see, I thought this would be a great time for a love story, so I’ve chosen to watch “Letters to Juliet”

I was intently watching the movie, when suddenly a friend of mine texted me, telling me how sad and close to tears he was, I asked him what was wrong and that he could tell me anything and I would listen, I got him opening up on me in no time, since he has been a good friend of mine and that I have known him for years, (we keep each other up to date with what’s happening within our lives). And then he told me what happened, there was this girl whom we really liked, and now, there is someone courting her and it seems like the girl too likes the guy. I knew already their story that he is in love with her, but both of them were too scared, or too hesitant to be together for some reason, and now the girl is being courted by someone and knowing she entertained him in the first place made it feel like she too, have feelings for him already. The girl knows how my friend felt about her, but when the second guy came along, she did not advise my friend or even warn him of the upcoming picture.

I would very much like to help my friend even in giving him advice on what to do, but at the back of my head, it seemed like this already happened.  That I have seen this, I have done this. All of a sudden, I remembered myself 7 months ago. I was seeing Ven in my friend’s personality. And talking to my friend felt like talking to Ven seven months ago, how he felt when I didn’t tell him about C, how he was so lonely and disappointed. I realized I was a monster. Good thing my friend had me, in times like these, he had someone to talk to when he has problems, but Ven? He had NONE. He kept things to himself, not releasing what he was feeling making it burst out into a much bigger explosion, doing damages around him. I pitied him. I was so terrible. I did not consider what he will feel, even just a bit. As long as I was happy I did not care. And now I am seeing things in his perspective. That he had a right to tell me hurtful things like what he did. I was careless enough to deserve those words. 

I asked my friend, “What if you find out that they are already together?” he responded with this:

“I will encourage her to love him, do all they can for their relationship. I will cry in front of her. I will also tell her that I do not want our friendship to be ruined, that it will be alright for her to hurt me even if she does not mean it, as long as she’s happy, Even if it’s hurting.”

The movie turned out fine. The main character was currently engaged with someone who is always busy and have little time for her. At first it was all right, but then she fell in love into another man. She broke up with the fiancé to be with the man she loves.

I guess not all the time it would turn out to be a perfect movie ending. Perhaps let’s take it into consideration that it’s not our movie yet, that this movie is not made for us. Maybe we are not the protagonist this time, but just an actor in the background. Just an actor who is not meant to stay up to the final minutes of the movie.  And someday, a movie will finally be ours, to call our own. We have the leading role all to ourselves and be the production editor and director all at once. We’ll just have to wait :)
