Justin and Martha

This is the story of Martha Manalili.
Justin is a wonderful man. For me, he is not just an ordinary man by a real man. I called him the Devil Justin.
One day, Justin told me that he will be on a motorcycle race and confidently said that he'll surely win first place this time. I always pick on him because he always finished second place.
" I'm sure I will have that first place this time and remember you owe be a lot of kisses." Justin said will full of confidence.
“If you win, I'll ride on your motorcycles and hug you so tight then like you said, I owe you lots of kisses". I said.
Those are one of the happy conversations that I have with him.
Justin's mother is a pure Filipina while he's dad is an American, he is 2 years older than me. He was born in the Philippines but was raised in US.
We were on walking on the beach when he said that he will be going back to America soon.
"I have been accepted in one of the military school in US. I need to go back next month. You know that I always wanted to be a marine." Justin told me. He doesn't sound so happy but his words are full of determination.
I was taken aback; I don't know what to say. I don't know if I should congratulate him or be happy about the news. Should I hug him? Or kiss him instead?
The only words that came from my mouth during that time were a simple REALLY and THAT IS SO COOL.
For the whole eight months, I did not utter the word I LOVE YOU to Justin, but Justin always told me that he love me so much. I just smiled and kissed him every time he said I love you.
Justin asked me to come to America and continue my study there, but I said I can't.
"Why?" Justin asked me.
“My family is here, my job, my friends, everything is here, and my life is here." I said.
"Yeah, you're right everything is here so it doesn't matter to you if I'm not here since I'm not part of your EVERYTHING." he said. I don’t know if he was mad or sad when he uttered those words.
He left before I could say anything.
I love Justin; the only question in my mind during that time was is it enough to give up everything just for him.
When Justin left for US, it was so hard, hard because I'm used seeing Justin almost everyday. I misses him a lot. I missed everything about him.
Justin keep sending me an email everyday, I replied everyday. In one of his email, he told me that he will be gone for a few months because they have something to accomplish, an assignment. And he cannot tell me anything about it since it was confidential.
I'm a very optimistic person but I became pessimistic when Justin decided to join the US military. I started to ignore his email and also his phone call. I don't think I can pursue my relationship with him, not because I did not love him anymore, but I can't accept the kind of profession Justin has.

I said to myself that I need to forget Justin. I really don’t think that I can handle this long distance relationship that I have with him.
When he emailed me saying that he will be gone for months, I know that he will be in Iraq since the US government has been deploying US troops by that time. I remember how many times I forced Justin to tell me where they heading at? But instead he keeps saying that it was CONFIDENTIAL and he can’t give me any details.
I totally stop my communication with him. A dated few guys just to forget Justin but never met any guy that I can compare to him. Justin is really an extraordinary man. There is no perfect mate but for me, Justin is the only perfect man that I have met in my entire life and it was damn so hard to forget him.
One day, my father asked me to go on boating with him. He looked so serious and said that he wants to talk to me about Justin. I did not know Justin called my father. Even from the start when I decided to introduced Justin, they became really close. My father likes Justin to be my boyfriend or even be my husband in the future.
“Justin called yesterday; I did not bother you since you were sleeping. He sounds so sad; he told me that you never answer his email or his phone call. Why is that?” my dad asked me seriously.
“I’m just busy with my job and with my study as well.” I said
“You’re old enough Martha. I just hope you know what you’re doing this time. Don’t ignore or throw something valuable because you might regret it one day. Most especially don’t be such a coward because I did not raise you to be one.”
I cried and hugged my dad. I said that I’m just tired of my relationship with Justin and I don’t like his chosen profession too. I ‘m scared, there’s a lot of thing going on my mind about Justin, what if he died, what if and many what if.
To be continue, sorry it is really a long story.

Most of the filipino overseas workers in IRAQ were sent back to Philippines because of the war. That was the last thing I've heard since I stopped watching TV and avoid reading newpapers.
After I had a talked with my father, I noticed that he started to avoid any conversation about the raging war and Justin.
I completely lost communication with Justin. It was a torture for me. There is nothing I can do but to concentrate in my job as well as my study.
There were times that I could not sleep at nite and keep thinking about the memories that me and Justin shared together.
He was the one who taught me how to swim, how to ride bikes and he was the best kissed I ever had. Justin is my one and only love, my true love and I just realiazed that he's my everything. I could never love anyone the same way I love him.
"you should learn how to cook kare-kare, you know that my favorite" Justin said. We were having picnic at the time in one of the biggest park in my town.
"it takes lot of time and effort to cook kare kare", I said.
"Lets make a deal, you study how to make a delicious kare-kare, I'll make a new study table for you". he said while his mouth is full of binatog (corn).
"Sure no problem but after your done with my study table, you got to promise me that you will take me dancing." I said while laughing.
"Come on, not fair, you know i'm bad in dancing." Justin don't like dancing though he is really good in playing guitar. For Justin, dancing is just for gay and not for a man like him.
After six months, I heard that Justin's family are back in town. His parents decided to stay in town for good, Justin is the only child, his dad was an ex-marine.
Still no sign of Justin.
will continue....

I don't think if I may be able to finish this story....I’m kinda tired typing...lol
Continuation:
I'm done with my study and have been accepted as an accountant in one of the biggest company in the country.
It’s been 3 years since Justin let and decided to join the US Military, and also 2 years without communication or news about what had happened to him since I decided to stop pursuing our relationship.
Lots of things came in my mind about him, he could be married by now or even dead. I don't know since I haven't had any communication with his parents since I left my hometown and decided to stay in the city.
By the time, my father decided to get married again. I got no objection since it has been 15 years since my mother passed away.
I forced myself to forget Justin, I really tried hard. Then One day. I met Alexis. Let’s call him X.
He is half Filipino and half Chinese.
It’s been wonderful meeting X. He is such a very cheerful person. There is no way that a woman could not possibly fall for him. I like him a lot, that a spend most of time with him. Then without knowing, I temporarily forgotten about Justin.
I'm ready to forget all about Justin and accept X marriage proposal. We have been together for almost 2 years and Justin have been gone for 5 years now.
But when I was ready to start a new life with X an unexpected thing happens.
I took 2 weeks off from work, I wanted to spend it in my hometown where I been born and raised as well. The lake, trees, everything that reminds me of good and bad memories. Memories of my mom, old time friends, teachers and Justin as well.
I was at the bay, watching all the people especially children. Walking, running, talking, smiling and the whole surrounding. Nothing changes, till the same as before when I was still a teenager.
Justin is there walking towards me. I don't remember how many times I blinked my eyes just to make sure that I'm seeing Justin. He's there smiling, smiling walking towards me.
"It can't be Justin" I said.
I don't know how many times I'd said the same thing over and over again.
"Hi"- Justin.
The world stopped.
Justin is in front of me talking.
I fainted.
