Talking With Friends Novels & Stories

“Can we talk?” Mariin kong kinagat ang aking ibabang labi at inilibot ang paningin sa buong paligid. Hindi ko alam kung papayagan ko siya dahil malaki ang tiyansang magkita sila ni Finn sa gabing ito at hindi ko pa nahahanda ang speech ko para sa pagkikita nilang dalawa! “Uhm, can we talk it over tomorrow? Please, Fox. Umalis ka muna ngayon. Let’s just talk tomorrow…”

“Hmm. Dapat nga malasing siya. Ang tanong paano natin siya maidadala sa bar?” Napatingin silang lahat sa akin nang magsalita si Veronica. “Hey, donʼt look at me, girls. Hindi ko rin alam kung paano. Always nasa harap niya ang kanyang phone or laptop. Isa lang pʼwedeng gawin natin. . . Ay iyon ay ang gawing friends ang friends niya para madala siya. Sa ngayon, wala pa akong name—meet na friends niya kaya wala akong ideya who they are,” sabi ko at nagkibit balikat sa kanila. “Oh gosh! We need take a time pala!”

sabi ko habang humihigop ng wine. "Talk to your friends; they're well-known in the industry and sports. Why not give them a tour here? They can take pictures and upload them on their social media accounts. That's an easier way to promote — and it won’t cost anything," suggest ni Lolo. Ang talino talaga ni Lolo. Bakit hindi ko naisip 'yon agad? Siguro masyado lang akong busy sa trabaho. "That's a great idea, Lo. Don't worry; I'll take your advice. I'll talk to them," sabi ko. Malapit nang umuwi ang mga kaibigan ko, maliban sa isa na nasa Malaysia.

litong-lito na tanong ni Andy. Ngunit ilang segundo ang lumipas ay wala siyang narinig na sumagot sa kanyang tanong. Inihilamos ni Andy ang mga palad sa mukha bago naiiyak na umiling. “I need to find my friends. I only have less than five I guess. I don't know if they consider me a friend but I consider them as one. I consider them all, whether they like me or not. Kung sino ka man na nangtri-trip sa akin, pakiusap. Tama na, pagod na ako at gusto ko lang ay mahanap ang mga kaibigan ko at masiguro na ayos lang sila.” lumuluhang wika ni Andy bago umupo at pilit na pinipigilang maging emosyonal.

I mentally rolled my eyes because of it. Someday I will meet you just wait when that time comes.. ----------------------------------------------------------- School I am walking in the hallway together with my best friends we were laughing and chatting until we reach our room. We went inside and saw all our girl classmates in the side corner of our room watching and discussing something. And as a curious one , we went to their side and ask what they're discussing. " Good morning guys! what are you discussing there? " Reniana greet them with a smile. They look at us and greet us back with a smile..

"Aam mo naman ang sagot, nagtatanong ka pa. Oo na, single na kung single. E ikaw ba? Tumino ka namn ba?" "Oo naman," halatado ang pagiging defensive nya, lumabi pa siya at pagka ay umiwas ng tingin. "E bakit kapag nakikita kita sa department store e iba-iba ang kasama mong babae sa araw-araw?" "Friends." "Twenty-seven friends? Ang friendly mo naman," sarkastikong wika ko. "Networking." Napailing ako. "Ang kapal talaga ng mukha mo."

I didn’t know who they were talking about, but I somehow wanted to know her just to make sure she was safe from these people. “Wala na, bro, she blocked me on her accounts. Di bale na, marami pa namang iba,” the chubby guy laughed. “But that girl’s so hot! Maybe I should try her?” his friend fantasized. God! My frustration kept growing inside as I continued listening to their disgusting conversation. I went out of the line and absentmindedly walked out of the store. I was not in the mood to buy coffee anymore because of them. What kind of people were they? I couldn’t believe they still existed.

Sobrang sakit ng nararamdaman namin ngayon, it was as if he was crushing me every time he mentioned it and forcing me to end our friendship. That's why in the beginning I had a strange feeling that this is not the right time to talk to him. That's why someone whispered to me that I shouldn't talk to him. This is where this conversation will take us. "Well, no! hindi! Wala tayong tatapusin, we are still and we will remain best friend." Gusto kong humangul-ngul sa iyak, but I hold myself. Sobrang nasasaktan nakaming dalawa.

Hindi na rin naman ako nakapagtanong dahil naging abala na sila sa pag-uusap tungkol sa ilang business. “Excuse me. I’ll just talk to my friends for a while,” ani ko. Nilingon ako ni River. “I’ll come with you,” aniya sa akin ngunit umiling na ako. “No. Talk with your friends for a while too,” ani ko na nginitian pa siya. Magpupumilit pa sana ito kung hindi lang kinausap ng mga kaibigan niya.

"Well, now that we know about all of this, I hope you continue to tell us what is going on with your life. Because none of this will scare us away." I smiled. "I know that now." Friends. They are hard to find. But when you get some, you'd have to do everything to keep them.
