The Sudden Death Advice

Way back then, I remember it was right after shift and I looked like shit.

My former boss came up to me at the nearby bar and asked me how am I doin? He saw me bawling few hours ago right before my shift started, talking to someone (my bff on speed dial) until some random male stranger handed over a tissue to wipe my tears off.

Yes, it was in public. Never had the chance to look at the face of the guy to say thanks.

And I don't think I still have the nerve to do that.

I did not answer whatever question he had, but I think he got it. I just answered his question with another question:

What's the easiest way to deal with or get over a break up? 

Because I've had boyfriends before and this is not even my first serious relationship, but man, this thing has taken a toll on me. I never had to deal with personal problems at work but this was something else. I know how ridiculous this whole relationship was but for the first time, I actually believed in something. He was always telling me to hold on and keep the faith... and I fuckin' did and gotten my hopes up and then BAM!

So what's really the fastest way to deal with a break up? He said:

" Treat it like... Sudden Death lang." 

I thought it was radical. And way easier said than done. This person, although he appeared to be intangible is what I have considered the greatest love of my life... and I am in my mid-twenties. So it's not like some stupid puppy love shit. I felt it was real, because it was unconditional and I need not to be monitored because for once I was willing to be taken over. And it did.

It has taken a toll on me.

Later, it made sense. The Sudden Death Advice.

Who can compete with death nga naman? I can think of a hundred and one ways to make his life miserable, and spend every single day plotting revenge, but when the person dies, it's game over.

This is probably the most radical break up advice that I got and was able to only digest it now. So Imma send him some light and prayer, because it's game over.

May this battle rest in peace and this is without bitterness. At all.

It's Game Over.
