A Tsinoy Love Story

Their faces turned pale
When I asked
Of their Love Story

A Minute of Silence
A few practical explanations
A short introduction
Among common friends
Meeting at “mamunluk”
Eating Siopao and mami
Making small talk,
There was little or no courtship at all.
Got married,
And that was that.

Watching them now,
I marvel
At how he still rushes to grab
The shopping bags from her
Thinking how heavy it would be.
Or how, on every breakfast mornings
She would always remind him
To take his pills to make his heart strong.
I still laugh at their petty quarrels
For I know hours later
I would hear laughter in their room.

This house, the Sundays we go out together ,
Birthdays, Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebration,
Though I never see them passionately kiss
Like in the movies,

Who needs a love story?
