My Spaceman

 

She was in her early twenties, a registered nurse, and a single mom of an adorable 2 year old boy. Her friends call her Susie, short for her name Susan .For the record, it was her mother’s wish to call her by that name since she was a big fan of a renowned actress, Susan Roces.

 

Her boyfriend is also in his early twenties, an outgoing and fun-loving guy. An average looking guy but was attractive enough to swept Susie off her feet. He is a member of a local band and a pretty good player of guitar and keyboards. Everyone calls him Ando, but his real name is Fernando Climaco.

 

They’ve been steady for a year or so, and they never had any argument that wasn’t resolved before sundown. Their relationship was not the ideal one, but they manage to get by. What Susie didn’t know is Ando has a secret. Everything was going smoothly before Susie left for Manila to take an exam, but everything changed when she came back…

 

His heart was racing the moment she saw Susie enter the pizza house. His hands started to sweat as Susan started to approach the table. He is out on a limb already, he couldn’t think of any excuse anymore. He was already on pins and needles. All he can do was wait and see what Susan is going to do…

 

“I need space!”  These three words kept on running through Susan’s mind as she was approaching Fernando’s table. The fight they had when she arrived kept on playing in her brain like it was a pirated DVD. It was like a never ending rerun. Her heart started to feel like it was being crushed. She wanted to believe what Fernando said. He just needed some space. A ceasefire from all the wars they had. But all the cards are laid right in front of her now, there’s no turning back. This is the answer to all the questions that’s been bombarding her for the past two weeks. Two weeks of no communication with Fernando. Two weeks of not knowing what went wrong. As soon as she reached the table to where Fernando was sitting, Susan immediately grabs a chair and sat down.

 

“What’s going on?!” Susan blurted out as her lips started to tremble from fear of what she’s going to hear. But no one answered. Right at the corner of her eye, she saw her. Afraid that a mere glance would fire up her insecurities, she didn’t look at her. She couldn’t dare to…She was already lost in her misery…

Following my own investigation, millions of persons on our planet get the mortgage loans at different banks. Hence, there is a good possibility to receive a small business loan in every country.
