My neighbor, Ronald (or RJ, the initials of his full given names) has already moved out from Dolores Apartment. After roughly five years, Ronald has moved back to Butuan City, his home town. Ronald is a fresh graduate. He graduated from Xavier University. Recently, he has taken oath as a new Reg Nurse.
But, Ronald is more than that to me.
He is my funny, good looking, sexy and smart-ass friend. He is a good neighbor too, who has given me many laughs. He is such a funny guy. He is kind of my crush as well. This crush-feeling though came just recently. I think I find him interesting and hot when he graduated and became friendlier to me. Before, when we were still in first and second year, he is the snobbish kind. We do not usually talk except lately, I mean when we were juniors and in senior years and after he graduated.
And his moving back to his hometown is giving me gloomy feelings. Maybe, because my heart misses good people like him. But I think this is normal. All leaving and departures are accompanied by sadness, by tears (both visible and the unseen ones).
I am happy though that he has graduated and moving on to the next level. I am assured that he is happier now that he will be back in Butuan, reunited with his loving Dad and Mom, Tita Linda and loving relatives.
Though, I can see that he is kind of sad leaving Cagayan de Oro because his girl is from there. I know he will miss her loads. I am asking myself. Would he miss me too? Would he miss his friends? I bet he would. But I am unsure if he would miss me. He even does not know that I like him the way I like him. This is a secret. Although, funny thing is I have given him this site address. But heck I care if he would discover.
Truly, I am still recovering from the bouts of parting and goodbyes. So many people and friends left me to go home. This is something usual to people living in apartments/renting, because people come and go. Such is an sad experience. But I know that his leaving is not our last seeing. We will see each other sometime in the future. I am sure of that. I am even planning to visit their place.
By the way, I should clarify that my liking towards Ronald is not the sexual type. I think, it is more of a brotherly-peer liking. After all, he is such a funny guy. He teases me a lot. And I would end up frowning yet inwardly smiling every time he clowns around. They term this moment in vernacular as “kilig.”
When he was packing his things up and loading them to his sexy Pick up, I said to him, “Alright, good luck! Extend my regards to your Mom and you take care.” I did not say “Good bye!”
I miss him. I miss his antics and wide smiles. And not to forget, I miss as well our intelligent chats with Hans, my other cute guy neighbor-friend.
See you around dude!
