Novel & Cerita Can We Be Friends

"Am I correct?" Hindi ulit siya nakasagot. How is she going to tell her friends that it's not really a relationship? That it's just a friends with benefits type of hook-up? Baka kasi bigla siyang sabunutan ng mga ito. They don't know her as the wild type of girl. But she has to tell them one way or another. She doesn't want to keep them in the dark. "Actually," nakangiwing panimula niya. The attention of her two friends are both pinned on her. Belinda nodded encouragingly while Kylie's eyes were wide with curiousity. "Uhm? How do I put this? it was uhmm.."

"Hindi mo ba iniisip ang asawa ko?" "Hindi." Ngumiti ito. "Okay lang sa 'kin mawasak ang friendship namin. Okay lang naman 'yong buhay ko sa mga nakalipas na taong hindi kami magkasama at hindi kami ganoon kadalas mag-communicate. I can live without a best friend. I'm willing to bury our friendship ever since I met you, William."

I nodded excitedly. "Right!" "It's normal. Friends always do that. Right?" "Right!" "Anyone who thinks that there is something between you guys is wrong! Friends can sleep together, right?" "That's true!" "I know friends can be jealous. They can cuddle on the bed when they are drunk, and they can follow each other everywhere. They can even look into each other's eyes without blinking. Those are real friends' actions. Right?" "Exactly." "And the most important thing is, you can blush until your ears turn red everytime we mention the name of a friend. Right?"

Buraot ba naman noong high school eh, akala mo food critic. We just talk about some of our friends na halos isang buwan na naming hindi nakaka-bonding. Sobrang busy siguro talaga nila sa work kaya halos sa chat na lang kami nagkaka-usap, minsan madalang pa. Ganoon naman usually kapag adulting na talaga, kapag naman nasa iisang table kami ay hindi pa rin nawawala ang closeness namin sa isa’t isa at hindi pa nauubusan ng chika. They have been my friends since high school. Ganun siguro talaga kapag high school friends ano? Habang tumatagal ay mas lalong tumitibay ang samahan niyo hanggang sa pagtanda. Pinag-uusapan lang namin na sana by this weekend sana makapag-bonding kami. Busy sa kani-kanil

Hindi ako makapaniwala sa sitwasyon na meron kami. ‘Yong feeling na pumayag akong friends na lang kami, pero pumayag din akong mag-holding hands kami unconsciously? Weird! O baka naman tama si Karen sa tingin niya sa aming dalawa ni Liam na magiging friends with benefits?

"This guy is really funny. You won't get bored when you're with him. But why is it like this... No, erase. Don't think about it again, Marci. Help yourself as well." "Much better, Marci Baby. But anyway, let's not change the topic." I bit my lip. "What if it doesn't work out, Mer? What will happen to us? To our friendship?" "Then we will remain as we used to be. Nothing will change, and there's no need to feel awkward or anything. Let's be clear, no matter what happens, let's accept the outcome. Trust me, I'll still be your friend just in case I'm not really meant for you."

Napakunot-noo ang batang si Veron habang nakatingin sa larawan. “Is that even possible? You’ve been best friends for so long even though you stop communicating and talking to each other? Can you gain a friend without any communication?” muli ay nadagdagan na naman ang mga katanungang gumugulo sa isipan ng batang si Veron.

Until then, kapag handa na siya ay naroroon pa rin ito at naghihintay sa kanya. "Yes, we could be friends. We are actually friends, not totally friends but going there. But still, I can't go on a date with you, yet. People here loves to gossip. And I don't like that." Tumango pa siya sa sinabi. Sa kanyang palagay ay hindi naman imposible ang bagay na 'yon. They were good at talking. Natatawa man ay pilit niyang supilin iyon. Weirdo lang kasi ang mga kilos at pananalita nito ngayon. Sa ibang babae ay baka napa-oo na agad ito. "How about friends with benefits?" Hirit pa nito.

May ilan pang walang hiya na binuksan ang kanilang mga f* account sa cellphone nila "yung nangyari kanina, kalimutan mo na yun, pwede naman tayong maging magkaibigan hindi ba?! Idadagdag kita sa friendlist ko para madali tayong makapag communicate sa hinaharap.” "Hindi na, bihira akong makisalamuha sa iba, at saka hindi ako basta-basta nagdadagdag ng kaibigan. Gusto ko ang kaibigan ko yung may kalidad.” Ngumiti si Anne at magalang na tumanggi.

He smiled a bit. "So ibig sabihin ba nito mababawasan na yung init ng ulo mo sakin?" "I can't guarantee that but we can start being civil" "Civil lang?" "Friends?" He sighed. "Better friends than nothing" he said. "Let's go, I'll just pick Enzo tomorrow kapag all set na sya" I turned around to walk first. "Amari" he called me kaya I stopped walking without looking at him.
