man in the fridge

lovelyn secretly loves pedro since they were children. she looks at him, and cares for him in a very special manner. she kept this feeling until they grew up. nobody knows how much lovelyn loves pedro.

pedro grew up to become an artist, he took fine arts in a public university and later on left school to work as a free lance artist. he joined competitions but unfortunately lost every single events.

on the other hand, lovelyn pursued a career of being a nurse. after passing the board exam, lovelyn left to work abroad. and she stayed in abroad for three long years, and writes  letter every now and then to pedro.

lovelyn wrote hundreds of letter to pedro, but pedro would just reply once in a while. and sometimes pedro would just draw a figure of a woman on his letters and never says a word. it was kind of weird but lovelyn saved all drawings and doodles and framed it.

but one day lovely got a very bad news, a letter came and it was from pedro’s mom, and it said.

Lovelyn,

i am writing to you to inform you that pedro is missing for almost two months now. we dont have any news, the last time i saw him was when he borrowed three hundred peso to buy some fine brush, he told me he was going to the mountains in the nearby town to find an inspiration. but it is a long time now and i did not hear anything from him, i know you two are very close and if you hear anything from him please let me know. thank you.

lovelyn got sad when she received that letter. it affected her job and she was eventually asked to have a vacation for two months. lovelyn eventually went home and in desperation she searched for pedro.

she started to contact people they know, and those former colleagues and classmates of pedro, but no one knew where he is. lovelyn was getting desperate each day. until she got sick because of depression and was rushed to a hospital in the great city.

lovelyn fell into comatose. for thirty days she was asleep. all that kept her alive were the hospital apparatus.lovelyn’s parents gave up their hope on their daughter they knew somehow lovelyn would give up eventually.

but on the 30th day of lovelyn’s comatose, a young lady came to visit lovelyn. she said she was a close friend of lovelyn. and the lady was allowed to get near lovelyn. and lovelyn’s pale face began to get pinkish. the lady did not say a word, but stood near lovelyn and tears rolled down her eyes. and she gave a letter to lovelyn’s mom and she left. she left with no name given.

it was a miracle, hours after the lady left, lovelyn woke up. she woke up like as if nothing happened. she woke up in her normal state of mind, she completely recovered without signs that she was bed ridden for a month. everyone thought it was a miracle, but lovelyn told them that it was pedro who saved her.

lovelyn’s mother handed the letter which the lady gave. she explained that the certain lady was the last visitor before she finally woke up.

lovelyn’s hand felt a certain energy as she had touched the letter and she began reading it. and in tears she read quietly.

lovelyn,

as the stars write dreams on sky, i paint on canvass. i find no words to say but only sad-happy pictures of many nights of thoughts. since we were kids i looked up to you, i knew you were to grow as a beautiful lady. and any man would fall for you. i remembered the time when you declined the offer of the campus crush to be your date on the prom and instead chose me. those were the days lovelyn.

i saw the passion of love in your eyes when i saw you the last time. i knew you love me and that love creeps inside me. and i know that love is for real. at many times i tried to show or reciprocate that love but i feel so helpless. i could not find the right words. i could not find the right time.

and i never did find the right time because i was caught up by my own reality. it took me so much to finally see who i am.i am not for you lovelyn, i fought the battle but i gave up. i am not giving up that you will be able to see life again, and by the time you are reading this you can finally say that i am happy.

you will always be a part of me, and whoever i am now, i will always look up to you as my ideal woman. and now that i am a woman too i will try to love like the way you did to me.

love

petrish katsume (i married a japanese and legally changed my name and gender)

lovelyn knew that her only love was meant to be happy and she freely accepted their fate. she gave up pedro or say petrish. lovelyn accepted things because love is all that she wanted to give pedro, but it was the cost of loving him that she had to pay, but it was worth her happiness.
