I am Alfredo Salazar.
I am a professional lawyer, and a confused lover.
There are times that I am
indecisive with my actions and feelings. I want things to happen in my way,
leading to happy endings. I can be honest or dishonest at times but I am
straight through when I know what is right and wrong for me. You can call me
selfish, but I know what I am doing in my life because I believe in my thoughts
and feelings for what are right to me and I can take consequences if I made the
wrong choice.
I am engaged with Esperanza. My sister,
Carmen, chose her for me. At first it
was hard to love someone who thinks the person is perfect for you. As time goes
by, I fell in love to Esperanza. We’ve been together for a year now. My sister
plans to take it to the next level, and that is marriage.
My father and I go to the judge’s
house for some “business.” As I approach the door, I thought this is the
judge’s wife. As this fine lady corrected me, it was the judge’s sister-in-law,
named Julia Sales. Believe me I am struck with her fine words and graceful
attitude.
How
could I explain this…? When I became friends with Julia and our souls slowly
come close, it’s like a bloom inside my chest. A light glow shines upon my
heart, feeling that you finally found the lost piece of your heart. Every time
I see her, my heart skipped a beat. I always find a way to go to her and try my
best not be nervous whenever I am close to hear. Seeing her smile and hearing
her laughter makes up my day. She simply completes me.
When
I came home after the Holy Sunday, I saw Esperanza sitting down of a sofa. It
seems that I am in trouble. She thinks that I am having an affair with someone
else. I have to defend myself, so I told her what I truly feel, and I don’t
love her anymore. Yes it does hurt emotionally, spiritually, and mentally to
me, especially to Esperanza, but I have to be true to myself. I don’t want to
lie to her anymore. After having an argument she decided to let me go, giving
me my “freedom.”
I
sailed on a boat to attend an important business. I’m supposed to be in Sta.
Cruz for the hearing between the rebels and the government. When a guard told
me that it will take a little longer, I decided to stroll around the streets
after landing on a small village. To be honest, I can’t stop thinking of Julia.
I want to see her once more. As I go further, I saw her, looking outside the
window.
We
had our small talk. But that small talk may be our last. I have to sail away. I
have to say good-by. I have to let go and continue my journey as a lawyer and a
confused lover. But I prayed to the stars that we shall collide once again when
the right time comes. Who knows what is truly fated to me.
