Novel & Cerita Friendship Short Story

Tanong ko habang nagpipigil na maiyak dahil ibinaba na ang order kong coffee at bread. [I'm always free for you B, you know that...] Oo, ni minsan hindi niya ko tinanggihan. We're best friends since ten years old kami. Bagong lipat sila sa subdivision namin noon dahil friends pala ang mga parents namin. “Can you pick me up?” [Of course! Where?] Mabilis nitong sagot. “Mall, I'll text you where exactly I am.” [Okay.... I'm on my way, wait for me...]

We cannot truly judge a book by its cover alone. "Mabuti na lang din at mabait naman ang kapatid ni Grantt, 'no?" agad na liko ni Lou sa usapan. Nagkatinginan kami ni Sab at parehong lihim na natawa. Kahit papaano, natutuwa ako sa kanila. Kaya't mas makabubuti kung may mga kaibigan tayo na maaaring kasama natin sa mga pagkakataon na mahirap intindihin. Building strong and genuine friendships with others is wonderful, especially in situations like this.

Subrang close din kasi nila nang ina nang matalik niyang kaibigan. Kahit na silang dalawa lamang ang nasa iisang bubong ay hindi naman nangangamba ang dalaga na baka merong gawing masama ang lalaking kaharap. Tiwala siya sa best friend niya at hindi naman ito ganoong klaseng lalaki, katunayan pa nga ay parang kapatid na ang turingan nila sa isat isa. Palagi siya nitong ipinag tatanggol kapag na bubully siya nang mga kaklase niya noong elementary pa lamang sila. Tanging si Rj lang ang naging kaibigan niya mula pa pagka bata.

Akala ko lagi lang siyang galit at unsociable na tao ngunit habang tumatagal nakikita ko ang pagmamahal niya sa akin, sa kambal at mga kaibigan niya. I can see their friendship is out of this world. I can see them supporting each other decision despite having different personalities and perspectives. I know deep inside they have in common which is the definition of friendship. "Hoy, tama na ang halikan kumain na kayo. Mahiya kayo sa aming single, 'diba Gio?" Naputol ang halikan namin ng marinig namin ang sigaw ni Michael. "Huh?" takang tumingin si Gio panay pa rin ang pagdutdut sa screen ng phone niya.

A part me of says that, but then the other part says the otherwise, "No matter how strong your friendship is, your confession will surely ruin it. Not totally ruin but it could make a gap between the two of you, worst than the gap made when you try to hide your leukemia. After all, you are a girl, a woman just like her, the same gender as her, and to think that you feel something for her more than a friendship..."

At dahil usisera din sina Shammy at Lilibeth, lumapit sila sa 'min para makinig at makisalo sa aming kuwentuhan. "Nang dahil lang sa lalaki, nasira na ang friendship n'yo. Napakaraming lalaki sa mundo, kung hindi talaga gusto ni Arthur si Osang, hindi naman niya maipipilit na mahalin siya nito," saad pa ni Jessa. "At saka kung kaibigan ka talaga ni Osang, mauunawaan ka niya kung nagmamahalan naman talaga kayo ni Arthur. It's a no no talaga," pagsingit ni Shammy.

Marami siyang pagkakamali at hindi rin naman niya masasabing walang mali si Psyche but he learned to embrace all of it and turned into a positive outcome. Their friendship is beautiful but their married life cannot be describe by words alone. At kung pagdadaanan man niya ang lahat ng hirap na napagdaanan niya para makapiling ang mag-ina niya, he'll gladly walk over it and come to their arms in the end.

at iyon ang mahalaga. Ngumiti ako ng mapait. Mayamaya, napatingin ako sa bibliya na nasa aking tabi. Kinuha ko ito at saka binuklat. Hinanap ko ang bible verse about friendship. One who has unrealiable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24 NIV) Natigilan ako sa pagbabasa nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko.

Hindi ko lubos akalain na sa dinami-rami ng babae sa mundo, ang kinaiinisan ko pala ang makakatuluyan ko. As Vanessa and my paths intertwined, our friendship that started in the company blossomed into a love that transcended the boundaries of time and space. The echoes of our shared laughter, the warmth of our shared moments, filled days with joy and contentment, a testament to the transformative power of forgiveness and redemption.

I hate you for leaving me just like this… for leaving the only friendship that I know of. And from that moment on, Aiesha convinced herself that she had never had a best friend named Shion Ruis Chua. That the boy she had always been with was nothing but a mere illusion… that the first boy who had ever truly mattered to her never existed. Her first… and biggest heartbreak. Four years later… “Hi! Pres! Good morning!” a schoolmate greeted her. It was another normal day for her to be greeted by her fellow students and even if she doesn’t know almost all of them, she still has the heart to greet each and one of them back.
