Can We Be Friends 소설 & 이야기

Masungit kong sagot pero mukhang wala lang sa kanila 'yon. "Okay sige, pero friends na tayo ha?" Bakit ba hindi mawala-wala ang ngiting ng babaeng 'to? Hindi ko na lang siya pinansin at muling tumingin sa bintana. Friends? Should I make friends with them? What if they will leave me like what Callan did? "Uyy friend, ano ba tinitingnan mo diyan sa labas?" Pang-uusisa pa rin nitong katabi ko, kaya nilingon ko na siya at tiningnan ng masama pero ngumiti lang ito.

"Basta, madali lang din magkaroon ng kaibigan. Finding them is the key. There are many ways to accomplish that, such as, for example: online communities, a reading group or clubs you might join in school or wherever you can. Therefore, it's simply a matter of working out how to meet other people who share your interests. It shouldn't be too difficult for you to find some kids who share your interests. Tingnan mo, we actually don't know each other at first but we click when we first saw each other. I do want to have many friends but having a close friend that share the same interests like you and me is hard to find, I guess." "Magulo!" "Let's put it this way as well, you can always find someo

"We can't stop seeing each other just because of...of that." She laughed sarcastically. "Naririnig mo ba ang sarili mo? You're even ashamed to say what we did." Humapdi ang lalamunan niya. "Yes. It's a shameful thing, Rob. That's not what friends do. And if we won't stop now, we'd both be in a situation we'd regret in the future. So, we better stop seeing each other. Let's stop being friends."

"We should avoid seeing each other so you can have a love life. We have to make them believe that it's not true. We're just friends." Nilingon ko siya pero nakatitig lang ito sa dagat na tila ba doon niya mahahanap lahat ng kasagutan sa tanong niya o problema niya sa buhay. "I'm not gonna avoid you, Cassy. We are best friends."

Just f ucking friends. Sit back and relax, they're about to take you guys deeper.

Hindi ba kaibigan ang tingin niya sa aming dalawa? "Do you think we're not friends yet?!" tanong ko kaagad at humarap ako sa kanya napansin ko na umiwas siya nang tingin. "No, we meet often but I don't know if we are really friends, you are different when we are together." sagot na lang niya sa akin napapailing na lang ako sa sinabi niya. "From now on we are friends, and you won't think of anything else," nakangiti kong sagot sa kanya nakita ang gulat niyang mukha.

"Hello, I'm Kaia..." Nagdalawang-isip ako kung susundan ko pa ba iyon, at kung oo, ano namang sasabihin ko? His friend also? Hindi ko naman kaibigan 'yan. We're still not considered as friends, right? Or... are we? Napakagat ako ng labi habang pilit na iniisip kung ano ang tamang sabihin. Ano ba dapat? His sponsor? Dahil ako ang magbabayad para sa pagkain namin ngayon? Napangiwi ako sa naisip at nagpasyang mabuti pa na mabuti pang 'wag na lang iyon dagdagan.

Kaya mas pinili na lamang namin ang pagkakaibigan namin kaysa masira nang tuluyan ang binuo naming friendship dahil lamang sa relationship na iyan. At sa pagkakaibigan napatunayan namin na mas masarap pala ito. 'Friends with Benefits? Of course yes, not Sex. But kiss only. It's normal for us. No issue, I guess.' "Pero mas masaya pa ang pinili natin. Kaya nating gawin ang gusto natin nang walang nagdidikta at nagbabawal." Dagdag ko pang sabi nang wala pa rin ang nagtangka na magsalita.

Napaglaru-an din pala siya katulad ko. Huminga ako ng malalim at tumayo na, kinuha ko iyong bag ko na nasa katabi ng inuupu-an ko kanina at naglakad na papalabas ng cafeteria. Sa huling pagkakataon ay tinignan ko ulit ng mariin si Chille at ang mga kaibigan nitong tino-tolerate ang kabaliwan ng kaibigan nila. They're not true friends because true friends will not tolerate their wrong doings. A true friends will correct at pigilan ang mga maling gawain.

Malayong-malayo ang pagkakaibigan na meron ako kay Leana kumpara sa mga kaibigan ko noon. People always say that it’s impossible for our friendship to last because of our major differences but they were wrong. Look at us now. It’s been 8 months and we’re still friends. I think it’s what made our friendship fun. Every day was never repetitive. It was never boring. Our routines must be the same but the happiness I feel every time I’m with her is always too new to me.
