Bridge Rappeling and Freefalling with Elle Viajera
Venue: Bitbit Bridge, Norzagaray, Bulacan
Trip Date: October 21, 2012
It was supposed-to-be our last event together, Marc and I agreed to part ways and disassociate ourselves from each other right after this weekend. But the cosmos that a different plan all along...
I was trying not to get affected by the worsening fights between Marc and I. I didn't like the fact that he was hiding stuff from me. I didn't like the idea that some of his groupies didn't like me and were saying stuff about me. I didn't like the idea that his ex-gf was there in his birthday celebration with this group, even though he had explained that it was a TEAZone event and his ex-gf, who is a TEAZone facilitator, was expected to be there as well. Marc wanted me to understand that. I just couldn't. And so, we reached a mutual agreement.
I focused my attention on the fact that I will be with my friends during the bridge-rappeling event, and that should get me going and keep me sane. It did. I was genuinely happy most of the time, except when the idea of losing him forever crept in. and then, I would again reach out to my jolly friends.
I was supposed to learn belaying and Marc was supposed to teach me the basics. But you see, I was half-distracted...
There were 15 jumpers in all. I was the 16th. We all learned and got to experience Swiss and Aussie types of rappel. Some had a taste of the heart-racing free-fall.
Just after lunch, a turn of events got me to be indefinitely glued on Marc's life in the manner I haven't imagined. We were too proud to admit to each other that there was something special between us. Even a rival said she felt that what Marc and I have was something they didn't. I couldn't tell, we had some funny ways to show that to each other.
That turn of events landed us in an ER and that night, I was forced by the cosmos to embrace a life that I didn't know I was ready for.
