Voice on the Radio

It all started with a dream. A dream that I never thought would turn into reality.

I never thought I’d feel this way.I didn’t know that this would bring me dismay.

How would I know if I what I feel is true? What if this is just a joke?

What would I do?

This feeling sucks, I know.I didn’t know why this happened but I just felt it. I hate this feeling but

I fell in love with the voice on the radio.

The sun was shining so bright and the wind caresses my face. I never knew this day would be so nice. Iassumed that the heavens were guiding me and helping me in finding the person that I’ve been looking for. They set up this mood to liven up my spirits.

I walked through the streets and found nothing. I searched high and low and just wasted my time and energy.I kept on looking at the signs but he’s nowhere to be found. How am I supposed to find him if I don’t know

where to start? I wanted to know how to find him but if I don’t have even a single source, I guess I’m looking for nothing.

My feet started aching when I reached a park. It’s a very beautiful park but I think there’s something wrong.No one else is here besides me. Are other people too blind to see the beauty of nature or what?

Anyways, I decided sit on a bench in that park. I took out my ipod but instead of listening to the saved songsin there, I tuned into the radio. Maybe, just for a change. I didn’t know what went into my mind but my world seemed to stop when I heard his voice. His voice that made my heart skipped a beat. His voice thatmade me smiled foolishly.

What kind of fool I am? Why am I acting this way? Ugh. This is insane. I think I searched too much.

I turned off the radio and played the first song in my playlist.

“Hey. This isn’t funny anymore. Of all songs, why did this player choose this one?” I told myself.

I tried to act as if everything’s normal but his voice and certain lines from the song kept on repeating in my head. Could I really be feeling that way? What am I supposed to do? Does this thing really happen? Well, I donot know. But I hope this is just a result of confusion or desperation of finding my one true love.

I left the park with a question that boggles my thoughts.

“Do I really feel the same way as the song said?”

I never saw it coming, the way a voice can make me feel And I fear that I am falling

I should be old enough to know Not to fall in love with the voice on the radio.

I went home and tried to avoid the radio in my apartment. As much as possible, I want to clear things up. I want to know if I’m just hallucinating a while ago or something. I mean, come on! Is a normal person evenallowed to fall in love with just a voice? That’s just insane, right?

I sat on the floor and tried to think deeply when suddenly, the door banged and I lost my focus. When Ilooked at the person who caused that little commotion, I was irritated.

“Oh, it’s you again. What a pleasant surprise?” I said and then rolled my eyes.

“Come on Carrie. My presence is better than listening to some folks on the radio right?” Woah. That hit me.

“I don’t think so Vince. I’d prefer being alone than being with you.” Vince sat down beside me.

“Is that really your way of welcoming me back?”

“No. Not really. I missed you.” Then I hugged him.

“Aww. That’s better and that’s more I like it.” Vince winked at me then hugged me as well. By the way, Vinceis my quasi boyfriend. So he’s my boyfriend but he’s not my boyfriend. Let’s just say we’re somewhere inbetween. I know it’s kind of complicated but what can I do? He’s always leaving and he doesn’t want me to wait for him forever.

“By the way, why are you so serious when I arrived a while ago?”

“That was nothing. I’m just thinking that’s all. Is thinking already illegal or what?”

“Nice try, Carrie. Tell me, what were you thinking about?”

“Things?” I answered him then bowed my head down.

“What in particular?” He lifted my head and made me face him.

“Nothing important, promise.” Then I forced a smile.

“Okay. I won’t push it any more. Do you want to eat or watch a movie? Come on, I miss the old times.”

“Well, let’s go then.” And we headed down to the nearest mall from my apartment. I missed the old times as well. I missed Vince so much. I know he’s not my real boyf riend but I still love him. This kind of thing sucksright? *sigh*

Our first stop was a restaurant. The ambiance was good and all but I guess there should always be something

that makes everything wrong. The restaurant tunes in to the radio station where I heard his voice. His voicethat gave me chills. His voice that makes my heart skip a beat. Ugh. I hate it.

“Hey. Are you alright?”

“Uhm. Yeah. I’ll just find a seat. Just order me the usual.” I told Vince and sat down in the chair farthestfrom the entrance of the restaurant.

When the crew of the restaurant changed the music, I was relieved. I mean, is his voice haunting me or what?It’s so creepy already. I can’t help but think of why this thing is happening to me today. Is this a jinx or apunishment? Err. I don’t know. But one thing’s for sure. I need to disregard my thoughts about his voice.

“Here’s our order. Come on, let’s eat.” Vince took the seat in front of me and placed our orders on the table.

I was about to eat when he suddenly grabbed my hand with the fork and took the fork away from me.

“Hey! What do you think you’re doing? I want to eat already.” I told him and then made my famous pout.

“I just want to be the one who will feed you today.”

“I’m not a child anymore. I can handle eating all by myself.”

“Yes. You’re not a child but you’re as special to me so please let me do this even just for now.” Vince told meand then he turned somewhat reddish. Wait. Is he blushing?

“Okay then. But don’t do this all time okay? I might get used to this and I’ll surely miss this if you’ll leave

again.” Vince twisted the noodles of the pasta and slowly placed that inside my mouth. After which hegrabbed his own fork but I stopped him.

“Wait.”

“Why?”

“So that it would be fair, I’ll be the one to feed you.” I told him and then smiled. Vince smiled as well.

We continued feeding each other and we didn’t even notice that most of the people in the restaurant arelooking at us. Oopsies. We’re sorry for being sweet. Hahaha.

“Vince, I think we need to go now. I can’t stand all these people staring at us.”

“Okay. Let’s watch a movie then.” Vince winked at me again and we left the restaurant silently.

We proceeded to the cinema and watched a romantic film. Vince held my hand all throughout the movie. Hekept on glancing at me every time. I’m not used to all the sweetness that he’s showing today. I think there’ssomething that’s going on.

After watching the film, we went to my apartment and sat on the couch. We were silent for minutes until Idecided to ask Vince a question.

“Vince, is there something that’s bothering you right now?”

“Nothing I guess. Why’d you ask?”

“Liar. I know you too well. Tell me, what’s wrong?” I said while facing the wall.

“Okay. I’ll tell you the truth.”

“Go on. I’m listening.”

“I’m leaving.”

7/27/2019 VOTR


“Well, you’re always leaving. What’s new?”

“This time’s different. I’m leaving. I’m leaving for good.” I didn’t know what to say. But one thing’s for sure,my tears said it all.

02.

Vince tried to wipe my tears away but I moved farther from him. I can’t stand the fact that he came back justto tell me that he’s leaving for good. How I wish he didn’t bother to show up anymore. *sigh*

“Carrie, please don’t be like this.”

“Don’t be like this? How come you are like that? After so many years, you’ll show up then what? Tell me thatyou’re leaving me for good? Thanks a lot Vince. Thanks for ruining my day and my life.” I stood up from thecouch but then Vince reached for my arm.

“What do you want?”

“Carrie, please let me explain.”

“You know what, I already got it. You’re leaving and you’re not going to return. There’s no need forexplanations.”

“You don’t understand.”

“It’s such a simple thing. I fully understood it.”

“No you don’t.” I was shock ed to see Vince kneel down on the floor. He looked me in the eyes and got asmall box from his pocket.

“I know we don’t have a formal relationship or whatsoever but I’m sure about this thing. I love you, a lot andI won’t be able to live another day without you. So I want you to be with me forever. Carrie, will you marry me?”

“Wait. Are you freaking serious?”

“Does this seem like a joke to you or what?”

“Uhm. No. It’s just that…” Due to embarrassment, I can’t look at Vince properly. Earth, swallow me no w. This is so embarrassing.

“Hey. Look at me.”

“No way.”

“Carrie, listen. I want you to look at me and answer my question a while ago.” I looked at Vince slowly. I saw him still kneeling in the floor. Ugh. I don’t know what to do. I mean I never expected it to be this way.

“So, Carrie, will you marry me?”

“Yeah.” I said softly.

“Wait. What did you say?”

“Uhm. Yeah?”

“Is that a yes?”

7/27/2019 VOTR


“Yeah.” Gosh. I’m like a robot here already. Why can’t I say anything else besides yeah? Err.

Vince inserted the ring in my finger and then he stood up and faced me. He caressed my face and then kissedme on the lips. I kissed him back and then he carried me and started spinning around. Eventually, he fell outof balance and so we stumbled upon the floor.

“Hahaha.” We both laughed.

“I love you Carrie.”

“I love you too Vince.” He kissed me again on the lips.

After a while, we stood up and watched a movie, again. I don’t know what went into my brain that made mesay yes even if there’s still a thing that bothers my brain right now. Maybe this is really what’s meant to be. Idon’t know what would happen in the future but I know what matters most right now is the present.

I love Vince and I know this is true. I know he loves me as well and I’m holding on to that. I just wish that

we’ll stay this way forever. I smiled to myself at the thought of being with him all the time.

“Hey, why are you smiling?”

“It’s just that I’m so happy that finally, we’ll be together.”

“Yeah, finally. Now, you better go to sleep for we will go somewhere special tomorrow.” Vince brushed hisfingers through my hair. Then I hugged him and closed my eyes.

“Good night, sweetie.” My eyes are still closed but I know that he kissed me in the forehead. I’m tooconscious about his kisses. Haha.

Morning came and I’m surprised to see that no one is lying beside me. Where did Vince go? I stood up atonce and went outside my room.

“Good morning sleepyhead.” Vince said while putting the pancakes in the plates.

“Good morning.” I replied and then smiled at him.

“I know pancakes are your favorite and so I tried my best to cook some for you. Forgive me if they don’ttaste that well. This is my first time, err, to cook.” I laughed at the thought of the taste of the pancakes but

then I ate at once the moment he placed the plate on the table.

“So, how does it taste like?”

“Aww. Their awful.” Vince’s face turned into a frown. It seems like I can’t control my laughter anymore so Ilaughed it out loud.

“Hahaha. You should have seen your face Vince. It’s just so funny. Hahaha.”

7/27/2019 VOTR


“Hey, don’t tell me you were just playing with me a while ago.”

“Alright. I won’t tell you. I promise. Hahahaha.” I kept on laughing and so his face turned red. So much forplaying tricks, huh? Hahaha.

Vince and I spent the day as he told me to be. Indeed, it was very special. We packed our things and went to arest house. We stayed there for two days and made the most out of it. It’s as if those days would be our lastdays together even if we have lots of time ahead of us.

We were on our way back to my place when Vince suddenly stopped driving and parked his car somewhere.Sure, I was asleep when that happened but I felt the sudden stop of the car which caused me to wake up.

“Vince, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“Don’t try to fool me Vince. You won’t stop the car if everything’s alright.”

“Let’s just talk about it later. Let’s just go home, okay?”

“Fine. But be sure to tell me what’s happening the moment we arrive at my house.” Vince just nodded for an

answer and started to drive again. I guess there’s really something that’s going on here. I just can’t seem tofigure out what it is.

The moment we arrived at my house, I sat down at the couch and waited for Vince to start talking. But guess what, he didn’t talk. He sat on the couch as well and we were silent for a couple of minutes. It seems like hedoesn’t want to talk about it so I assumed that I could just go to sleep and pretend that there’s nothing wrong.

As soon as I stood up, I started walking away from Vince. I didn’t bother to look back at him since it’s very obvious that he’s not into chit-chatting right now. But to my surprise, he hugged me from the back and it’s asif he doesn’t want to let go.

“Hey, what’s going on?”

“Nothing. I just want to hug you. Is something wrong with that?”

“Well, there’s nothing wrong with that but it’s just that you’re acting a little weird today.”

“You better get used to it. I’m really like that. Hahaha.”

“Yeah, right. I’m going to sleep now. Are you going to sleep as well?”

“Hmm. I don’t know but I’ll go with you already. Let’s just see what would happen.” Vince smiled at me andI felt butterflies in my stomach. He smiled a lot of times before but I don’t know why I felt this way today.

I shrugged the thought away and changed into my sleeping attire. Vince did the same and we lied on the bed. We stayed quiet for a couple of minutes, again and after a while, I decided to kiss him good night. But to my surprise, he kissed me back and dozed off into another dimension.

Just kidding. Hahaha. Yeah, we did something else besides sleeping but we were conscious about every actionthat we make. In other words, we know what we are doing. ;]

After doing the you know what thing, I suddenly realized something. I want to ask this to Vince but I don’tknow how to say it. But I guess he knew something was boggling me right now cause he asked me evenbefore I got the chance to ask him.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Uhm.”

“Let me guess, it’s me right? Why do you keep on thinking about me when I’m already beside you? Can’t youget enough of me?”

“Hey! Don’t be too full of yourself. Pssh.” I told Vince and smirked.

“Then what are you thinking about?”

“It’s just that after doing what we did, I realized something.”

“And what is it?”

“Is this the thing that you’re thinking about a while ago?”

“What if I say yes?” I blinked at him as if I was astonished or something.

“Hey, what’s with that look? Does this seem to be a joke to you or what?”

“It’s not. It’s just that I can’t believe you were thinking this while you’re driving and I’m asleep.” I laughedout loud and kept on doing it as if there’s no tomorrow. Vince turned red due to embarrassment and I evenlaughed some more because of that. Hahaha.

“Stop laughing will you?”

“Okay. I’m sorry. Hahaha.”

“Hey! I said stop laughing.” I tried to stop laughing and good thing I was able to stop. I just stared at Vinceand did not even realize that I fell asleep already.

“I love you Carrie. How I wish we could stay like this forever.”

The next morning, Vince prepared breakfast again. He cooked pancakes again, and they are not awful just like what he did a couple of days ago. How come I didn’t know that he has a talent in cooking? I would have usedhis skills a long time ago. Hahaha.

We ate breakfast and he told me to start packing my things for we’re leaving by 4 pm. I packed almost all of my clothes and personal necessities. I placed my gadgets on a separate bag and by 11 am, I’m done packing allof my stuff.

To kill time, Vince and I watched a movie from my dvd collection and after that, we went to the airportalready. I plugged my earphones in and started listening to the radio. I don’t know what has gotten into methat made me do that but I just did. And surprise, surprise! It’s not his voice that I listened to. It was fromanother artist. Well, that relieved me.

We were waiting for our flight when I noticed that there was a commotion that’s going on right in front of us.

A group of girls were screaming w ith banners and all. I can’t understand what’s going on and who they’rerooting for but that made me remember something from the song I listened to before.

Last night I, fell in love with a stranger Behind the glass house, he came walking out the back door Into a crowd of screaming girls calling his name

7/27/2019 VOTR

Girls were still screaming out loud when something unusual happened. The person they were screaming forstopped from walking. He looked at my direction and so I turned to Vince. Vince looked at me as well and itseems like he thinks I’m acting a little weird so he asked me a question.

“Are you alright?”

“Uhm. Yeah. I think I’m just thirsty. Right. I’m just thirsty. That’s all.” I forced a smile and it seems lik e hebelieved me. Whew. That was close.

“Okay. I’ll just go and get you a drink. Stay here, alright?” I just nodded in reply.

I was eager to know if the guy was still looking at my direction and so I faced the place where I saw him. Iguess that was a wrong move for he was still looking at my direction. He was looking at me.

He looked straight in my eyes. It's as if we've seen each other before. His eyes were speaking to me, telling menot to go.

I was left alone and that became a chance for him to go near me. I didn't know what to do or what to say butI just let him sit beside me. People kept looking at our direction. Some were jealous. Some were pissed off. I,on the other hand, was clueless with what's going on.

He looked at me intently and asked me a question.

"Excuse me miss, but have we met before? You seem so familiar."

"I-I don't know." That was all that I could say. Now tell me, why do I feel this way? My heart is beating unusually. This is the first time that I felt this way. What is with him that made me like this? Ugh. I hate it.

“I really think I saw you before. It’s just that I can’t remember when or where. Do you believe in

reincarnation?” Hey. What is it that he’s talking about? Reincarnation? Is that for real?

“Uhm. No? Why?”

“I think I met you in my past life or what. The moment I looked at your direction, it’s as if I knew you foryears. Yes, I maybe a popular personality today but I really think that we have this certain connection. Don’tyou feel the same?”

“Stop it. I don’t care if you’re famous or what. For Pete’s sake I barely know you! Stop this non-sense willyou?” My voice trailed off when he kissed me on the lips. I felt that pictures were taken from all sides of theplace. Gahd. This is so embarrassing! Vince, where are you?!

After kissing me, I started to talk again.

“What was that for?!” People are starting to gossip already. We are so making a commotion here. I hategetting this kind of attention. Ugh.

“Nothing. I just wanted to know if I really met you before. With that kiss, I think I’m mistaken. Sorry for thetrouble that I caused you.” What?! He kissed me for that stupid reason?! I hate him!

7/27/2019 VOTR


*Pak* Oh, I slapped him in the face. People were shocked with what I did. But I guess it served him right,right?

“Now, what was that for?”

“For the kiss that you gave me and for the trouble that you caused. Seriously, I think you need to go to a

doctor and have some check-up.”

“You! You’ll regret doing that to me!” He was about to get a hold of me when Vince arrived.

“Hey! What are you doing to me fiancé?” Mr. Not-so-nice was shocked with what he heard.

“Fiancé? This girl? I pity you dude! She doesn’t know how to kiss. Why don’t you look for another girl tomarry?” Vince got mad with what he heard and so he punched Mr. Not-so-nice.

The people that were watching us a while ago weren’t able to control their emotions anymore and so they started to curse me and Vince. They were so mad with what we did with Mr. Not-so-nice. Are they blind or what? He started it!

I was about to say something to him when an announcement stopped me from doing so.

“Passengers of Flight ABC123, bound to New Orleans please proceed to Gate 5 now. Passengers of Flight ABC123, bound to New Orleans please proceed to Gate 5 now.”

“Let’s go Carrie. Don’t waste your time with this kind of person.” I smirked at Mr. Not-so-nice and pickedup my things. After which, I walked away with Vince and proceeded to Gate 5.

I can feel that the people are still looking at us but I didn’t bother to look back at them. I don’t want to createanother commotion. I’ve had enough.

We sat at our seats at the plane already. I’m still shocked with the commotion that we caused a while ago. Ican’t believe there’s still a person that believes in reincarnation and was brave enough to kiss a normal girl npublic even if he’s a popular person like what he said.

Vince noticed that I’m not talking. I’m not listening to my ipod as well. I guess he knows that I’m thinking of something.

“Are you alright?”

“I’d be lying if I say yes.”

“What did he do to you?”

“Could we just stop talking about it? I want to forget that thing already.”

“I’m sorry but did he really kiss you?”

“Yes. Now, could we stop this conversation already? I’m really tired.”

7/27/2019 VOTR


“Y -yeah. I’m sorry. Just take a nap okay?” I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. But the scenes that happened a

while ago kept on playing in my head. Why can’t I forget his kiss? Ugh. Did I met him before just like whathe believed in?

My mind tells me that I’m mistaken but my heart says that it’s true. Now, what would I choose?

7/27/2019 VOTR


05.

Vince and I arrived at his place. Yes, the place is good and all but I just can’t seem to make myself enthusiastic about this thing right now. I’m too confused about my thoughts and my feelings. Why do thesepeople keep on bugging me like forever? I just want to be happy but why can’t I seem to find my way tohappiness just yet? I’m been through much already. Are those things not yet enough?

I dropped my things and f ell flat on the couch. I don’t know but I feel sick, really sick. Vince sat down besideme and talked while I tried to listen.

“Are you still not feeling okay?”

“Err. I don’t know.”

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have left you there alone in the first place.”

“I’m sorry for acting like that a while ago. I should have composed myself a little better.”

“Let’s just forget about that okay? Hmm. Do you want to go to the beach or something?” Aww. Vince really do know how to make me feel better. Beaches make me feel better. Well, aside from cakes, chocolates and icecream. Hehe.

“Sure. I love to. What do I need to bring?” I said while my eyes glitter with happiness.

“Just bring some clothes and I’ll take care of everything else.”

I started unpacking my things and chose the clothes that I would bring to the beach. I decided to bring aloose shirt and shorts. I changed my travelling clothes into a simple dress and then I wore my swimming outfit inside. I let my hair down and brought my sunglasses along.

I went out of the room that Vince gave me and looked for him. But I can’t seem to find him or am I just lost

in the house or what? I kept on roaming around the house when suddenly, a person hugged from the back. Igasped and looked at the person who’s hugging me. It w as Vince.

“I hate you!”

“Hey. Why?”

“You scared me! Ugh.”

“I’m sorry okay?” Vince said and kissed me on the lips. He kept on kissing me and I kissed him back. Then we stopped kissing when he told me something.

“What if we just stay here and do something else huh?”

“Err. I want to go to the beach so bad.” I told him with a pout.

“Fine. Let’s go?”

“Yup.” I answered back and we left the house.

7/27/2019 VOTR


The moment we reached the beach, people looked at our direction. We’re not stars or something but why are they looking at us?

“Carrie, why are they looking at us? I’ve been here a lot of time already but this is the first time that thishappened.”

“I don’t know. How am I supposed to know? Duh?” I told Vince then rolled my eyes.

Vince just shrugged and we continued walking. I know that’s kind of harsh to say but come on! I’m not amind reader or a psychic or whatsoever.

When Vince stopped walking and put down our things on the sand, I stopped walking and helped him fix oursmall place there. I laid the mat on the sand and started bringing out the food that Vince brought. He, on theother hand, fixed the big umbrella so that the sun won’t shine on us that much.

After fixing everything, I wore my sunglasses back and lied down on the mat. Vince stood up and wentsomewhere else. Unfortunately, he didn’t tell me where he was going. I think he got mad at me. *sigh*

I was about to close my eyes when suddenly, I heard an unfamiliar voice.

“Excuse me, miss.” I looked at the person who talked and raised my eyebrow.

“Okay. I know it’s kind of weird to go over here and talk to you when in fact, you don’t me at all. It’s just thatyou look familiar.”

“Oh. Not again.” I said while rolling my eyes.

“Pardon?”

“Never mind. What do you want?”

“Are you, in any case related to Jerry Choi?”

“Huh?”

“Wait. Don’t tell me you don’t know Jerry Choi?”

“Fine. Pretend like I know him even if I really don’t know him for crying out loud!”

“Okay. I’m sorry. Let me introduce him to you then. Jerry Choi is a famous singer here in the country and in

other countries as well. From his surname, it is quite obvious that he is a Korean. Oh, by the way, in case youstill don’t know him, you were all over the news with him.”

“What?! Me, on the news? That can’t happen.”

“So are you telling me that you’re not the one in this picture?” Then he handed me a newspaper. When Ilooked at it, gosh, it really was me and the guy he’s talking about in the cover. Great, that’s why the people arelooking at us a while ago, huh?

7/27/2019 VOTR


“Okay. Fine. That’s me and I don’t care.”

“Oh, you really have to care. I’m just here to warn you that since this is all over the news, you’ll really beconnected to Jerry Choi whether you like it or not.”

“I can’t be connected to him. I have a fiancé whom I love so much. So please spare me from all this non-

sense.”

“As much as I want to, I can’t. I don’t have the power to stop all those people who might want to contact orinterview you because of the kiss that Jerry Choi gave you. All of them are thinking that you and Jerry have a,you know, romantic relationship.”

“Eww. I swear, I never thought of having a relationship with that arrogant man.”

“But the reporters won’t believe that.”

“I guess they will when they see me and my fiancé get married in a few months or weeks time.”

“Err. I don’t know.”

“Carrie, is everything alright here? Who’s this guy?”

“Oh, Vince, where have you been? Yeah. Everything’s alright. He’s just a guy asking something which is fullof non-sense. He’s actually leaving now.”

“Are you sure? You look kind of doomed or something.”

“Yup. I’m sure.” With that, the guy whom I’ve been talking to a while ago left the place without a word.

Now, I’m really clueless onto what I should do. The thing about our wedding? I made that one out. We really don’t talk about that thing for days already. Vince is kind of giving me the cold shoulder for days actually. I’mtrying so hard to make him happy and be the Vince that I once knew but it’s not working.

It lasted for weeks already and I don’t know what to do anymore. So when I finally had the courage to talk to

Vince, I did so.

“Vince, could we talk?”

“Alright.”

“What is wrong with you? You’ve been giving me the cold shoulder for weeks! I don’t know what to doanymore. I’ve been doing everything to fix this even if I don’t know what the problem is. You asked me tomarry you and to go here with you then what? You’ll leave me here alone in this house and make me feel like

7/27/2019 VOTR


I’m invisible. You know what, if you’re not even sure of what you’re feeling for me, just say so. I don’t wantto be a fool who’ll be waiting around for you all over again. I’m so tired of waiting and if you don’t want tocontinue this thing, it would be better to tell me straight to the point so that I could go back to my normallife.” Vince didn’t say even a word.

With that, I exactly knew what to do. I went straight to the room that I occupied for weeks. Removed all of

my things in the cabinets and drawers and placed them in my bags. After doing it, I opened the door of theroom again and went to the front door of the house to leave. Guess what, Vince was just there. Sitting in thecouch like he was doing when I talked to him.

I opened the door and carried my things and waited for a cab. I just can’t stand the fact that he didn’t evenbother to stop me from leaving. I hate it. I hate him!

After a few minutes, I finally managed to hail a cab and instructed the driver to go straight to the airport. Itook one last look at Vince’s house and still, there’s no sign of him showing up. So I went in the cab and wentto the airport.

I bought one ticket and waited for my flight. As much as possible, I don’t want to cry and so I’m really trying

my best to stop the tears from falling. But I guess, it’s too much. The pain that I’m feeling is too much and soI broke down there at the airport and cried.

“Hey, don’t cry. You’re wasting your tears for something that is not worth it. Here, take this and wipe away your tears.” I took the handkerchief and after wiping my tears away, I looked at the person who gave me that.

“You?!”

“Oops. It seems like you’re not expecting me to be here to help you huh?” I let out a sigh before answering his question.

“Obviously. But thanks.” He became silent for a while then smiled foolishly.

“So you know how to say thanks? How come I didn’t notice that when we met in the airport before?”

“If you went all the way here to insult me then you better leave me alone. I don’t need more headaches andheartaches.” Both of us remained silent for a couple of minutes. We were back on our senses when I heardmy flight. I stood up, grabbed my things and talked to him, hopefully for the last time.

“Thanks again for the help. I won’t say see you next time or see you around for I’m hoping that this would beour final meeting. You’ve given me so much trouble already and I’ve given you an equal amount as well. Let’sjust pretend that we don’t know each other. I guess we’re better off that way.” After saying those words, Ilooked up at him and he looked amused with what I said.

“Well, this is it. I have to go. Bye!” I smiled at him and left.

I gave my ticket to the person in charge of checking the tickets and started walking to go to the plane that I’llbe riding. But before entering the final door, I looked back at the people in the airport, somehow still hoping that Vince made up his mind and went after me. He’s not there. I guess this is really the end.

Why does it hurt so much?

Why does it hurt continuously?

Except for the fact that I can’t see you anymore, a nd that you’re not here anymore otherwise, it’ll be just the same like before

Without a word, you made me know what love is

Without a word, you gave me your love Made me fill myself with your every breath

Then you ran away

Without a word, love leaves me

Without a word, love abandons me

Wondering what to say next

My lips were surprised

Without a word, tears start falling down

Without a word, my heart is broken

Without a word, I waited for love

Without a word, love hurts me

I’ve become transparent, I’ve become a fool and I cry just by looking at the sky

Without a word, separation finds me

Without a word, the end comes to me

7/27/2019 VOTR


These words filled up my mind and my heart as I bid my last goodbye to the place where Vince lives. To theplace where my heart thought it could be happy. To the place where my heart was broken. I know I’ll neverbe the same without him but I’m hoping that I could start anew and that I’ll find the person who would really love me in return.

I continued walking even if I think I heard someone calling my name. I pretended that I didn’t hear a thing.My heart is too crushed and I don’t think I could manage another heartache. The moment I sat down at my seat, my heart sank down as well. This is it. I just need to wait for a couple of hours and I could be a new Carrie. I’ll let my heart heal and wait until this heartache ends. I know that I could do this. Just wait and see.

I think I managed to stop myself from crying during the flight. I just slept and wandered in dreamland.Hoping that my prince is there. But unfortunately, I didn’t find him because I was awakened by something rather someone.

“Miss, the plane has landed. You’re the only passenger left here. You need to go down now.”

“Oh. I’m sorry. I’ll be leaving now.” I carried my bag silently and went down the plane.

Sure, it was a sunny day around here but I guess I can’t enjoy this day like what I used to do. I walked insidethe airport and waited for my other things. The moment I got everything, I hailed a cab and went straight tomy apartment.

For some reason, I wanted to go away from this place. Every corner and every little thing in this placereminds me of him but it seems that I just can’t let go. I guess I’m on my way there. I’ll take things one stepat a time. Who knows, I might be over him tomorrow or the day after.

I dropped my bags on the floor and sat on the couch. Then I started thinking. Thinking of ways on how tomove on and forget everything that happened in the past. Then I found myself calling people.

“Hey Claire, it’s me Carrie.”

“Hey! Wait. I thought you moved in with Vince?”

“Don’t even remind me about that. I just called to ask if you know an apartment or a house that is for lease or for sale. I w ant to move out of my apartment already.”

“Oh. Here’s the deal . I know a perfect place for you which is actually near your workplace but the thing is, I need to know everything that happened. Well, if it’s alright with you.” I was hoping that Claire won’t ask anything about it but Iguess I need to blurt out everything that I’m feeling right now so that I could feel better.

“Fine. When and where are we going to meet?”

“Hmm. Are you in your apartment right now?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay then. Wait for me. I’ll be there in about 10 minutes.” Then Claire hanged up.

7/27/2019 VOTR


After waiting for 10 minutes, Claire came and I told her everything. What’s funny is that for an unknownreason, I didn’t even cry when I told her what happened. Am I out of my mind already? For one moment,I’m crying my eyeballs out then now not even a single drop of tear fell down.

We talked and talked and after talking, she accompanied me to the house that she was talking about. It was

fully furnished and I really find it very comfortable. I gave the payment to the landlady and went back to my house to get all of the things that I think would be of good use for my new life.

I thought everything would be normal. I honestly do. But I guess NOT.

“Carrie, could we talk?”

7/27/2019 VOTR


07.

“What’s the talking for?”

“I want to explain. I want us to be together again. Please give me another chance.”

“Guess what, you blew your chance away. It’s too late now Vince. I don’t want to waste another freaking second in my life wondering if I’m really important to you. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get my things.”

“Carrie, wait.”

“What?” I asked him. This time, my voice is louder and more annoyed.

“I love you. I really do. Please give me a chance.”

“Stop it Vince. I can’t afford another heartache. Waiting for you was never easy. It caused my heart to break little by little. But the mere fact that you can’t show or tell me what you really feel for the past weeks causedmy heart to shatter into pieces. I can’t let that happen again. I’m sorry but I guess this is what’s best for us. I

need to go. Bye.”

I opened the door of my apartment and closed it at once. I know I’ll be falling apart any minute now. I sank down on the floor and started to cry silently. I honestly thought I could finally move on. Why did all of theheartaches come back in just a snap?

After regaining the strength that I need to fix my things, I gathered everything that I need. I put them inboxes and brought everything in my car. I know Vince is still there watching me from afar. But I justcontinued doing what I started.

The moment I gathered all my things, I started my car and met Claire in a restaurant. I know Vince is stillfollowing me and I can’t manage letting him know where I’ll be staying. I need to find a way on how to makehim stop following me around.

“Carrie, why did you want to meet here? I thought we’re going to meet at your new house.”

“Ssh. Keep your voice low. Vince is following me around. I don’t want him to know where I’ll be staying. Sohere’s the thing. I need to stay here for a while or stay somewhere else first before I could move in at my house.” My eyes glittered as I look at Claire.

“Hey. Hey. I don’t like what you’re thinking.”

“Claire, please?”

“Aish. Fine but just for a couple of days alright? You need to move out after finding your own place okay?”

Claire said those words out loud. I know she’s just doing it so that Vince would hear those things.

We just ate and talked for a couple of hours. I saw Vince went out of the restaurant and left. Claire and I leftas well. We went straight to her house but I didn’t bother removing my things in my car.

“You know what, I didn’t know you’re so mean Carrie.”

“Me? Mean? Are you kidding? Hahaha.” We just laughed away our, rather my, problems and after which weslept.

7/27/2019 VOTR


Days rather weeks have passed and I haven’t since any glimpse of Vince. I guess that’s a good sign. I movedin at my new house and I love every bit of it.

I guess I could say that my life is back to normal. I mean, I do what I love and I am happy. Jerry Choi is notbothering me anymore. I guess this is really the start of my new life.

Once again, I turned on the radio and listened to whatever song it has to offer. Look. What a surprise? Ithought he won’t be bothering me anymore but it’s his voice that I’m listening to. But to be honest, I can’tbelieve that his voice still makes my heart melt. There’s really something about him that makes me like himeven if we had an awful start.

“Ugh. Curse you Jerry Choi for making me fall in love with you.”

I was walking alone in the park when I heard a crowd of girls screaming. I laughed all by myself remembering the time when all of this happened months ago. I can’t believe that is how we’re supposed to meet. All along I thought he was a good guy with a good voice and a good face. I guess the good guy thing is not in hispersonality.

I continued walking until I noticed the person who the girls are screaming for. It was him. The person whomade my heart skip a beat. The person who made my heart melt. The person who made my heart confused. Ilooked at him and once again, my heart started pounding.

The moment he looked at my direction, I looked away and continued walking. I don’t want him to think thatI like him. Wait. Did I just say that I like him? Oh no. This is really too much. o.0

“Carrie! Carrie wait up!” Hey. How come he knows my name?

“Carrie!” I stopped walking. Well, honestly, I didn’t stop because I want to. Jerry Choi stopped me from walking. He held me in the arms and made me face him.

“Carrie, could we talk?” He said while catching his breath.

“About what? Oh, wait. How come you know my name?” He was shocked with what I asked.

“Let’s talk somewhere else. Please? I’ll explain everything to you there.”

“Fine. But I don’t have much time okay?”

“Alright. Let’s go?” I just nodded. He held my hand and we went inside his car.

The moment he let go of my hand I felt that the spark that I felt when he held me was gone already. Ugh. Why do you have this magic effect on me? I hate you!

We went to another park where there are only 2 people found. Me and him. I don’t know what this is for butI’m feeling a little uneasy right now.

“Now, what do you want to talk about?”

“Well, I’ve been thinking.”

“About what?”

“About the things that happened between you and me. Especially the ones in the airports.”

“So?” Argh. I have a feeling that this is going somewhere else.

“It made me realize things I never thought of before. It made me open my eyes to the beauty around me. You became an inspiration for my new music and I want to thank you for that.” Then he stopped talking.

“Okay. So we went this far so that you could thank me? Come on! You could have practically said all of thosethings a while-” I never got the chance to continue what I was supposed to say because he started kissing me.

7/27/2019 VOTR


After that kiss, we became silent. I don’t know but I’m wishing that he doesn’t hear how loud my heart beatsright now. I have to say that this kiss is way different than the kiss that we shared before back in the airport.

This one is full of emotions. Wait. Don’t tell me?

“What was that for?” I finally muttered.

“My way of thanking you.” What?! Way of thanking me? Argh. This is too much.

“ Are you really out of your mind huh? There are tons of ways on how to thank someone and why on earthdid you do that to me?!” I’m really furious right now. I hate him!

“I did it because I want to. I want to kiss you okay? The moment that I kissed you at the airport before, Idon’t know why but I felt something. But that something was really good. When you told me that we shouldpretend like we don’t know each other, I don’t know why but I was hurt. I wanted to see you more that’s why I even followed you in New Orleans. I can’t control my emotions anymore. My heart is beating for you and for you alone. So are you willing to give me a shot?” I was shocked with what I heard. How come this ishappening?

“I-I don’t know what to say.”

“You don’t have to say anything.” He said with a smile. What does he mean with those words?

“But-”

“But what?”

“But don’t you want to hear my answer?”

“Oh. I forgot about that. Hehe. So, what’s your answer?”

“It’s a yes.” I told him with a smile. He hugged me after that and I just found myself hugging him back.

OMG. I don’t want to go around a nd hurt myself anymore.So as early as now,

if this isn’t love , please tell me what this is.

After that meeting, my life became better. I’m happier and I’m more inspired. I guess this is really a good signthat our relationship would be resulting into something good.

Courting me was not supposed to be that difficult but since Jerry is a star and I’m just a normal personfiguring out what my role in this world would be, it became very difficult for the both of us. He courts meprivately for he doesn’t want people to make more issues about me.

Well, yeah. I like it that way too. I mean, our first encounter made a big fuzz around the country and I don’t want to be an instant star just because Jerry and I are going out. Another thing why I agreed to that format isthat if ever, I don’t want to be the reason why Jerry’s career would be tumbling down. I’m here to supporthim and not destroy him.

Jerry continued courting me for about 3 months and then for some reason, he stopped. I was scared that hestopped because I made him wait for too long. But I guess I’m wrong because a person texted me asking meto go to the park where Jerry brought me before.

From: unknown number Hey. Jerry asked me to text you.I know you’ve been trying to keep your relationship to yourselves but he asked me to do this.He told me to tell you to go to the park where he brought you on the day that he confessed to you.

To: unknown number Hey. Thanks for the info and please try to keep this to yourself. Aryt?

I went to the park as instructed. When I got there, I was surprised because there’s a dinner set-up right in themiddle of the park. I didn’t go there first. I watched from afar while the people there are making the lastminute preparations for that special dinner.

After a few minutes, a car arrived. I know that it is Jerry’s car. I saw him go out while carrying a bouquet of roses. Even if I love roses, I still managed to keep myself from going near him. I want to know what wouldhappen next.

Minutes have passed and still, there’s no sign that Jerry is looking for me. I don’t know why but I’m kind of feeling nervous already. I hate this kind of feeling. :|

So, to make myself less nervous, I tried calling him up. After a few rings, he picked up.

“Jerry, it’s me.”

“Hey. How are you?”

“Uhm. Fine but kind of bored. How about you?”

“I’m good. By the way, where are you?”

7/27/2019 VOTR


“At my house. Why?”

“Uhm. Nothing.” Upon hearing those words, my heart tightened. I don’t know what to say or what to do. ForPete’s sake, is he cheating on me? I wasn’t able to reply to him after that. I’m trying my best not to cry or behysterical.

“Hey. Are you still there?”

“Uhm. Yeah. Uhm. I was wondering if we could talk personally. You know, if it’s alright with you.”

“Of course it’s alright with me. When would you like to meet?”

“Uhm. Are you busy tonight?”

“Not really. But I still have to meet someone. Maybe after that we could talk.” So, the dinner was not for me after all.How stupid of me to believe a simple text.

“Uhm. No. Let’s just meet some other time. I don’t want to cause any trouble on your part. Uhm. I have to go. I’m kind of hungry already. Bye.” I hanged up without even waiting for his reply.

Still, I watched him from afar. After a couple of seconds, another car came and a girl went out from it. I wasn’t able to see her face but based from her clothes and all, it seems like she’s a star as well. Jerry stood upfrom where he was sitting and walked towards the girl. He gave the flowers to her and he kissed her on thecheeks. Little by little, my world starts to fall apart.

“Was the text a sign for me to stop dreaming that a person like him could really like or even love someonelike me?” I told myself.

I looked at them again and they look so happy together. I guess that was my cue to leave. I walked to theplace where I parked my car and went home half-broken.

“Why did I fall so easily? Now, I’m the loser again. I guess, love is really not for me.

I guess I’m better off alone.”

Days have passed and I didn’t bother calling or texting Jerry. I don’t know why but I still can’t get over what Isaw that night. I know I should at least let him explain or what, but I guess I still have this trauma in love thatmakes me scared to know what he really feels.

As much as possible, I wanted to act as if everything’s alright. I wake up early in the morning, drop by at adrive thru to get breakfast, go to work, eat lunch, work again, drop by at a drive thru for dinner and go home. That became my routine for the past few days. I know it sucks but what can I do? There’s nothing left for meto do besides those things.

This day seemed to be exquisitely normal but I guess I’m wrong. The moment I got home, I saw someoneoutside my house as if waiting for someone. As if waiting for me. When I parked my car at the garage, theperson straightened up and waited for me. I approached the person and acted as if everything’s fine.

“Hey. What are you doing here at this time?”

“I just want to see you. Is that wrong?”

“Yes. Especially if you’re seeing someone else.” I mumbled.

“Pardon?”

“Never mind.” I said while rolling my eyes. I know he hates it when I do that, but I want to do that rightnow. I’m irritated.

“Why did you do that? You know I hate it when you do that.”

“Because I want to. Yes, you are courting me but that doesn’t mean that you could say what I should orshould not do. It’s still MY life and so it’s my prerogative if I want to roll my eyes.” He was kind of shocked with what I said. This is one of the few times when I answer him back in a rude manner. I know it’s kind of

wrong for me to do but that’s how I feel right now so he can’t do anything about it, right?

“Hey. What’s wrong?” He asked, this time, holding me in my hands. I pulled back my hands and answeredhim.

“Nothing. I just want to rest. Let’s just talk some other time.”

I walked past him and inserted the key on my door. He was still there. Standing like he can’t believe what Ijust said. But after some time, he followed me and stopped me from going inside my house. He let me facehim and I can see that he is really serious this time.

“Can you just please tell me what’s going on? I’ve known you for months already and I know that you don’t

act like that whenever you’re tired. You have a problem and I want to know what that is.”

“Yeah. You’ve known me for months but that doesn’t mean that you really know me. Yes. I have a problemand even if I do, that doesn’t mean that you need to know every little thing in my life.”

“Please Carrie. Let’s talk about this. I like you. A lot. I can’t imagine my life without you.”

7/27/2019 VOTR


“If you think I’d fall for those cheesy lines of yours, well, you’re mistaken. You even stopped courting me.Remember? We haven’t seen nor called each other for days even weeks already. I guess that just shows me where we’re supposed to be.”

“ And that is?”

“Don’t you get it? This sort of relationship that we have is going nowhere. We might as well stop this thing before we get to hurt each other more.”

“But Carrie.”

“No more buts. Besides, I think you’re happy the way you are living right now. You can actually get anything you like.”

“Not anything because if I can get anything I like, then why can’t I get you?”

“ You know what, I’m not a thing at all. I swear. Maybe that’s the reason why you can’t get me.” I walkedinside my house and before I shut the door close, I told him the thing that I’ ve been meaning to tell him.

“Oh, by the way, if you didn’t lie to me the night I called you weeks ago, we could have been a couple rightnow. Too bad you lied and you were with someone else. Oh well, past is past. Good night.” After saying those things, I closed the door and once again, I fell apart and cried my heart out.

Just like what I said, Jerry and I didn’t meet anymore. He kept on calling me after our little confrontation butthat didn’t last for he just stopped. Well, I guess he’s really not that worthy e?

Anyways, I’ ve been working so hard for the couple of months already. It’s not that I’m being workaholic or

something but since I moved on and focused on my career, my boss noticed my potential, at last. Shepromoted me to an administrative position and so I’m doing lots of things already.

“Ms. Carrie, here are the papers that you need to sign.” My secretary, Alice, said.

“Oh. Alright. Just place it on top of my table. Thanks.” I told her while still looking at the scene that’shappening on the building right across my workplace.

“Is there anything you need Ms. Carrie?”

“None. Thanks.” After telling her that, she went out of my room silently.

I can’t help but notice the room across my room. I’ ve been noticing that for a couple of weeks already. Idon’t know what has gotten into me but it makes me look at it every single day.

Every day, the thing that covers the windows in the room across mine changes. It seems like it’s telling mesomething. Something that I can’t figure out. I hate guessing games and so I can’t think of the message that whoever’s behind that thing wants to tell me. But one thing ’s for sure. Every little thing that’s written theremakes me happy.

After my work, I immediately went home to get some sleep. I badly need it. But the moment I closed my

eyes, it’s as if I understood the message that the things on the window wants to tell me. I don’t want tobelieve it. I don’t want to fall for that trap again. I don’t want to get hurt again.

Morning came and I decided to listen to the radio. I know it would be much safer if I just plugged in my ipodon a speaker and listen to it but I don’t know. I just feel like listening to the radio once again.

For a moment, my world seemed to stop. I know I should not be feeling this way but there’s really something about him. I know he had hurt me a couple of times already but this is something that I never expected himto do.

He talks to me on the radio. He tells the whole country maybe even the whole world our little love story thatnever came to the happy ending for it was always cut in between. He expresses his feelings that I never

thought he felt towards me. He explains all the wrong things that he had done.

Yes. It’s Vince that’s talking in the radio. I didn’t know he was a DJ before. But I didn’t know that he had thecourage to tell all these stuff on air.

“Good morning to all the listeners out there. Yeah. It’s still me, Vince. I know most of you are wondering why I’m doing this thing for a couple of months already. I don’t know if this is the right time but I’m going tosay the real reason now.

7/27/2019 VOTR


I’m doing this to get the person that I love the most back.

I don’t know what has gotten into me to do this silly thing. I’m not even sure if she heard what I said for thepast few months already. But as long as I’m not yet with her, I know I should continue doing this thing. Thisis the least that I could do to win her back. Well, aside from the daily messages that I post on the window right across her office.

I know I’m putting my career on line here. I don’t even know if the supporters that I have before stillsupports me but I just know that I need to do this. I need to do every little thing to be with the one I love.

I know I’ ve made a mistake. But don’t you think, you should have at least given me a chance to explain? Well,I know you won’t listen to me if we meet face to face but I’m really hoping that you’ll listen to me this timeand spare me some of your precious time.

Carrie, I love you. So much. I don’t know why I’m feeling this way but ever since you closed your door thatnight and when you didn’t answer any of my calls after that, I felt miserable. Remember the time that Ibrought you on the park? I told you that you became my inspiration. And now that you left, my world fellapart. It’s not just you that is hurt in the process. I’m hurting as well. I don’t what I do without you.

Please listen to my explanations. The night that you called me, I didn’t exactly lie to you. I told you I wasgoing to meet someone right? Funny as it may seem, but she’s not what you think she is. She’s one of themost important girls in my life. Yeah. I admit it. She became my girlfriend but we’re done. We’ ve beentogether way back when I was in college. She always had this special place in my heart and no one couldremove that. But above all of that, she became my bestfriend. I could even treat her as a long lost sister.

Please believe me Carrie. It’s just you and you alone. I want you back. Please tell me that I still have a chance.Please let me show you how much I love you. Please Carrie. I love you so much. I’ll wait for you no matterhow long it takes. Remember that Carrie. I love you.

Now, let me leave you with this song after which we’ll have a short break.”

*music starts here*

You say you've seen too many things,that turn out to be too good to be true. Against your better judgment, opened up your heart,'til you found the joke was on you.Looking out on the rest of our lives,If we're gonna be together or apart. About the only way that I know how to come,is right straight from my heart.

I want you now,

I'll show you how I can be the man you need me to be I've been around, but now I've found that you're the only one for me.

Say you'll never fall again You won't subject yourself to such pain If you give me half a chance I will Never leave you standing out in the rain

After all the things that I heard and hearing that song, I just found myself crying and picking up the phone.

Epilogue.

I dialed the number of the radio station. I’m still crying but I don’t care. All I know is that I need to tell him what I feel. I want to tell him what my thoughts are. I just need to hear his voice once more and tell himeverything .

After a couple of rings, the person in charge of the radio station answered my call. I didn’t tell them my realname. I told them I am poor little Ann who was moved by all the things that Jerry said. They believed me andtransferred my call to Jerry which will then be heard on air.

“ Welcome back. We have our first caller for the day. Hello Ann?” Vince said. I didn’t answer back.

“ Ann? Are you still there?”

“Uhm. Y-yeah.”

“So would you like to share something or maybe request a song?”

“Uhm. I-I w-want t-to s-share s-something.”

“Hey. Relax. Now, what would you like to share?”

“I just want to tell you that I almost gave up. I wanted to give up so bad. I never thought someone would dosuch thing to me that made me happy again. I didn’t know what to believe in anymore but the moment Iheard you’re piece or speech or whatever you may call it, suddenly, I believed again. I know it may soundabsurd but my faith was renewed just by hearing your voice once again.

I’m so stupid for believing the gossips and other stuff that got in the way. I’m feeling sorry because I neverheard you’re explanations. I’m sorry for closing my door. I’m sorry for being so harsh and didn’t even bothertalking to you. I’m sorry. Is there even a chance that you could forgive me?

I want you to know that I still have feelings for you. I never close my heart. I just closed my eyes and mademyself believe that I could go on without you. But I lost. I love you. I still do. Now, could we start a new?” Without even noticing, I cried once more.

“Hey. Ann. Don’t cry. Uhm. Is it alright if we name the person whom you’re giving you’re message?”

“ Jerry. Let’s stop pretending. It’s me, Carrie.”

“C-Carrie?”

“ Yeah. I just called to tell you how much I love you and that I’m willing to give you a chance.”

“I-Is that for real?”

“ Yeah.”

“Uhm. So, shall we meet again?”

“ Yes.”

“ Are you free later?”

“Not really but I could my schedule for you.”

“Do you really love me?”

“Do I have to repeat it again and again? I love you!” Then I laughed. He laughed as well and then Jerry ’s

show took a break.

Jerry ’s show ended and we met afterwards. We explained our sides and we ate. We talked all day and stayed atmy house. We ate dinner and after which, we kissed and made up.

I heard him for the first time on the radio.I met and knew him because of the radio.

We explained our side and we got back together because of the radio.

I fell in love with the voice on the radio…

and I’m so glad that I did.
