POKER

Have you ever truly loved someone; the kind of love that you sacrificed a lot just so you can keep the relationship steady? She did.

She was a player; a heartbreaker to be exact. She can make a man lose his sanity in a couple of weeks or days. She drives men crazy and pushed them to their limits; to a point where they explode and lose themselves. What they don’t know is that she has a very sensitive button that could cause her to self-destruct—her heart.

She met her rival. She fell in love.

It happened for over a week’s time. They played a game of poker and the game was thrilling. She knew that it’s a risky game to play; but he gambled and laid down his cards—all in. She was caught in surprise. She had her mind on the game but her thoughts were focused on him—his poker face. She can’t read it. She was arguing whether or not he’s bluffing or telling the truth. Her friends told her to call a “FOLD” but she was hesitant that she kept silent. She tried with all her tricks to read the enemy’s face but all she can see is his assertiveness asking her to believe in him—that she need not fight. Surely, she knew she must not believe in him. She had won a lot of poker games before. Time went by so fast and the people were asking her to make up her mind. “He looks believable… He’s so pretty… Is he telling the truth… what if I lose… should I fold?” she thought to herself.  She looked at him and he gave a simple smile. “Trust me”, he said. “Fold”, she called. Indeed, her cards were no match with his. He came to her and told her “now that I won against you, can I now fight for your heart?”

“Game over” she smiled and told him; victory was his.
