Tyke's story

"There are things that you practically see because it is what the naked eye wants to show you. But when you know for yourself that many things today can deceive you by the minute, you will if not fully understood how it is then somehow will get a hold of what I am now.”

“I’m still trapped with mom’s biggest dreams for me. Yet, as my aunt Carice, wants me to run the company for her, I soon took the responsibility, stepped-up and learned the life of being the boss. Although of course this is not my dream, this is not what I wanted, but I do believe that this is my legacy.

“I am a Dentist. Following my heart I am having a second course as a Surgeon. These are my own plans. But as I try to make things handy with the best improvement that I can get and I can give, I am trying to suit my life with responsibility and passion in my own career.

“I soon learned to love being in my aunt’s office, as the boss, as a co-worker, as a person, as an ordinary person. It’s quite different to be in the field of medicine, though. Patience and patients, this is the life.

“Now I am saying that what you see isn’t what you get. Do you know why I am alone in this resto a couple of days ago? … No? One thing. I know this is cliché but this is applicable for me. This suits me best because I can never have anything and everything.

“Just a month ago, my girl friend and I broke up. She decided to pursue her dreams in California. And I was left here hanging, telling me that I am not part of her dreams. She wanted to be successful in the course of her taking, and I don’t belong to any success she made or will make.

“I fought for her in every battle I know. I thought we fought together to stick with each other but I guess I was wrong. I gave her everything there is to give, I made her reach some things that she can’t by herself, and yet it seems as though I was nothing to her.

“I feel deserted, after giving my all I ended up being alone. My friends were there for me. But their presence will not be like her presence. I don’t want to think that she just used me. I would rather put it in a way that I helped her…. But never mind.”

He was deserted. For his love of his life left him over her career. She used him, it is seen clearly in his trail of thought, but he would rather put it as helping her. I know how hurt he is now, because I used to feel that way back when everything is fresh with Timmy. But I guess, he must learn to live life through these obstacles.

There was a desire to touch him and comfort him. For once I had been his childhood best friend, anyway. But as he put it clearly, her presence will not be the same with my presence.
