Juan vs. Pedro

          So here is a very interesting love story that I had in mind for the past few days or maybe, weeks. It is all about Inday and how she chose between Juan (the guy she likes from the start) and Pedro (the guy she fell in love with because she thought she had no chance of being with Juan.)

JUAN 

          On the 2nd month of the year, Juan and Inday got  close after their common friend's birthday party. They go to mass, eat dinner and review together with their other friends - usual things that friends do. Inday's friends would tell her that Juan treats her more special and that Juan's feelings for her is so obvious. But Inday did not want to believe any of the good deeds Juan was showing. She thought that Juan was just really a good guy.

          Summer came, and they got even closer. They continue communicating each other by texting. And they still did even when school started. More people have noticed their closeness to each other, and still, Inday did not want to assume anything. Inday was very honest to herself, that she knew she has feelings for Juan. All she was waiting for is Juan to say what he feels.

PEDRO    

          Inday and Pedro have known for each other for a very long time already. They used to be schoolmates when they were still kids. Pedro had a crush on Inday when they were younger, but Inday never noticed his feelings for her, until Inday transferred to another school.
          On the 2^nd month (same month and same year Inday and Juan got close), Pedro saw Inday again. All those “butterflies in the stomach” feelings went back, and by the next month, Pedro made a move. He asked for Inday’s number, and they started texting, and started building a friendship.

When Pedro told Inday what he really feels towards her, Inday did not know what to do. She knew at that time that she likes Juan, but she also knew that being with him is quite impossible to happen. Inday made herself available and set aside her feelings for Juan. Days, weeks, and months had past, and Inday was able to move on, and later on, got together with Pedro.

         Inday was actually happy being with Pedro, until one day she realized something. There was something lacking in their relationship. Aside from being away from Pedro, Inday realized that it is always Juan who is there for her. It came to a point that Inday was in need of someone at her side and it was Juan who was there for her. It made Inday realize that until that time, it was Juan whom she really likes. Maybe, she just set aside her feelings for him, and focus on Pedro, but it was never gone. Never.

            Juan never knew about Inday being in a relationship with someone else. Inday did not know how to tell him and her other guy friends. Juan could have heard stories about her being in a relationship but he did not believe any of them.

Until one day, Inday finally told Juan that she already has a boyfriend. She also told him her feelings for him, and with that, Juan also confessed. The two realized that they like each other at the same time but they were both scared to admit it.

        Inday had a hard time deciding who to choose between Pedro and Juan. Juan is the guy she likes from the start, even before Pedro came back to her life. She put aside her feelings for him thinking that there is no chance to be with him. Pedro is the guy who she knows loves her with no condition.

She knew to herself she wanted to choose Juan. But she thought that choosing Juan over Pedro will make her hurt the person who loves her so much. On the other hand, she knew that choosing Pedro over Juan means sacrificing her happiness.

At the end, Inday chose Pedro knowing that it is the right thing to do. She put aside her happiness once again because she cannot afford to see Pedro hurt, especially when there is no reason for her to hurt him.

Quite an interesting love triangle story, isn’t it? Can I be a scriptwriter now? Hahaha. But hey, I think these things happen in real life. With that, let me ask you, would you do the same thing? Would you choose Pedro over Juan? And who do you think is this fault anyway? (Personally, I think it is Inday’s.)

So yeah, leave your comments HERE. And if you want me to reply, don’t forget to indicate your email address! J Thank you!
