The Friend Of My Enemy Novels & Stories

Napatingin ako kay Roma nang tumugtog ang susunod na kanta — Friend of Mine na rendition ng MYMP. There's a purpose why I had it saved in my playlist for years now. It was because it reminded me so much of him. The lyrics were the words my heart was speaking that no one can hear but me. I love him... I still love him, but how can I tell him that if after all these years it was still Prince that he kept looking, and that I was still a mere friend to him?

Kahit walang kami. “Oo, kakain ako. Nang marami.” Walang label as in platonic friendship. No intimate feelings. It was clear as the sky when I woke up from that tragic pain. Micaelum Hernandez is my knight in shining armour. Since that day, siya lang ang tumayong pamilya ko. Kung sinukuan niya ako, o hindi ako sinalba mula sa kotseng naibangga ko, patay na sana ako.

Ewan ko lang sa kanya. Pero teka… kaibigan? At dito sa ospital? “Friend?” tanong ko, kita sa tono ko ang pagtataka. “Ahm, yes,” sagot niya, nakangiti pa. “I see. Kailan pa siya nandito?” tanong ko ulit, medyo nanlilisik na ang mata ko sa curiosity. “Kaninang umaga,” nakangiting tugon niya ulit.

"That was... unexpected." "I’m growing up, Vanessa," natatawa niyang sagot. "At isa pa, narealize ko na mas mahirap palang maging kalaban ang isang taong kilala ang lahat ng weakness mo. Better to keep him in my circle, don't you think?" "So, is that one of your brightmove?" biro ko.

Ang bawat katagang lumalabas sa kanya ay puno ng poot. “Relax, Eunice.” Isang malalim na buntong-hininga ang pinakawalan ng kaibigan sa kabilang linya bago muling nagsalita. “I want you to stay calm and focus on your plan. Is that clear?” “Yes, of course. I know what I’m doing,” mariing saad niya. “Just call me, okay? By the way, I have sent details about Vida.” “Okay. I will check it.”

"I mean friends!" Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko. "The hell!? Did you not noticed the environment between us a while ago? Kung may dala kami parehong espada eh baka nagespadahan na kami nun. And no! We are not close, we are enemies!" Hinihingal na sagot ko kay Yuwe. Kaloka lang kasi, hindi ko feel na maging friend si Cayden. Kinikilabutan ako. Tawagin ba naman akong bruha? Sino matutuwa? "Weird, I thought you look good with each other." Nagtatakang saad naman nito at napapakamot pa.

“Before we go home, puntahan muna natin ‘yong friend ko.” Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. Friend? Sinong friend ito na sinasabi niya? “Sino ba itong friend na tinutukoy mo?” nakagat ko ang labi ko habang tinatanong siya. Ever since,wala akong alam sa kung sino ang mga kaibigan niya. Bago pa man ako mag isip ng kung anu-ano, I shove that negative thoughts on my mind para hindi masira ang araw ko.

"Sige po. Pero lola… magpapaalam po sana ako kasi imi-meet ko po yung friend ko mamaya. Hindi po ako makakasabay ng hapunan. Kung okay lang po..." Dahan-dahan nawala ang ngiti sa mga labi ng Reyna. "It’s okay, Adee. But who is this friend?" "Ah… Kaibigan ko po at the same time ay katrabaho ko rin po siya. Wag po kayong mag-alala. Mabait po ‘yon tsaka saglit lang po ako."

"Are you okay?" Suminghap ako at maliit na tumango. "I was just too shocked." "Don't worry. I gave her the karma she deserves. Her hard-earned company is burned into ashes now." "Kaibigan mo siya, Forth," I said. "Hindi ka ba...nakokonsensiya?" He pursed his lips. He reached for my hand and caressed it. "I ended our friendship the moment I found out what she did to you," he answered. "Anyone who hurts you is an enemy to me, Selene."

"Sorry is not enough for what he did to you, Artia." I gulped. "He's only the friend I've got." mahinang sabi ko na sana ay hindi niya narinig. "He might me a friend for you but what are you for him? 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..."
