More Than Just Friends Novels & Stories

We're just stuck in a fixed marriage. Pakiramdam ko, biglang nagdilim ang paligid at lumungkot ang awra ko dahil sa naisip ko na 'yun. Pero bakit naman ako malulungkot? Wala namang "kami." We're just friends though. And I guess, that's a good start.

Until one day she opened up about her huge crush with this girl named Mia Sandoval. "I think my feelings is not just a simple crush anymore Addie. I love her..I am in love with her. She's very good at playing volleyball. Actually she's good at everything she does." she said smiling widely at the camera. Looking so proud. She called me through I* just to tell me this. Does she have any idea how much she's hurting me? I wanted to cry and tell her I love her too but damn.....naduduwag ako. I cannot lose our friendship. I cannot lose her.

Ni hindi man lang nagtatama ang mata namin kahit isang beses. Alam kong nararamdaman ng mga taong nakapaligid sa amin na may problema kami ni Michael ngunit mas pinipili nalang siguro nilang manahimik at huwag mangialam. Look's like our friendship is really over... Napangiti ako ng mapait dahil sa naisip ko. Ito naman ang gusto ko, di'ba? Ngunit bakit ganito kabigat sa pakiramdam?

pilit ko. “Because you have plenty of it,” he said flatly. Ngumisi ako. “Sus! Yun lang naman pala eh. Unfriend ko na silang lahat basta ba friends na tayo!” energetic kong sinabi. Nagsalubong ang kilay niya at napailing na lang sa ‘kin. “That’s not what I mean. Kung gusto mo ng kaibigan marami kang pagpipilian. Just don’t include me,” he said and drink again from his coffee. Malapit ng maubos! Shit!

He never changed. "Thank you. But, this company is not just mine. My friend and I own this. We work for this together, because this is our dream. Spend our life to each other until our last breath..." Proud kong sabi sa kausap. Kitang-kita ko naman sa mga mata nito ang pagkamangha. "I really love the friendships between the two of you. It's really pure love. It's... Inspiring..."

Bumalik sa pagiging magaan ang lahat, pero pareho nilang alam na hindi na lang basta friendship ang meron sa pagitan nila. At habang nag-uusap pa sila hanggang madaling araw, alam nilang may mabubuong bago sa pagitan nila. Hindi kailangang madaliin, hindi kailangang pilitin. Basta, nando’n lang sila. Tahimik. Totoo. Unti-unting lumalalim...

Ohh, it's turned out that they're just friends. Na delusyon nya lang na may something sakanila nang binata. Para tuloy syang sinampal nang katotohanan, It's just two words pero that makes her heart Shattered in pieces. Bestfriends lang pala sila, nothing more, nothing less. Parang gusto nya nalang matawa, Friends my ass. Ansakit ah. Ansakit sakit. That urge her na umalis nalang at iwan na ang binata. Ansakit, mas lalo tuloy bumigat ang pakiramdam nya.

Kahit bilang kaibigan niya lang-- no, I want to be more than just her friend. Siguro dapat talaga na gumawa ako ng move, like what those lesbians have mentioned. I will. I can. And I should.

I asked her seriously. "Oo naman...anong mali ro'n? Sa tingin ko lahat ng makikilala ko, by face or by names, I consider them as my friend." "Kawawa ka naman pala." "Paano naman ako naging kawawa no'n?" may pagka inosente sa tanong niyang iyon. "Because not everyone you meet is your friend. A friend to all is a friend to none.

Sa ginawa niya sayo, sa tingin ko ay hindi pagkakaibigan ang habol niya. Friends doesn't harm each other. Friends don't do that Artia." "I know, but..."
