Novel & Cerita We Can't Be Friends Meaning

“Hindi naman tayo magkarelasyon para sabihin ‘yon kay Mommy! Puwede namang kaibigan lang!” “We’re not friends,” aniya na siyang ikinatigil ko. “If we are, why are we doing that, though? Fucking? Kissing? Making out?” Nanuyo ang aking lalamunan, habang pinakikinggan siya. Hindi ako makapagsalita lalo na’t totoo rin kasi ang kaniyang sinasabi. Isa pa, ayaw ko rin ‘tong nararamdaman ko ngayon.

Parang may kumakagat sa alaala niya, kahit hindi niya maintindihan. “Ah…” sabi niya, paos. “Pasensya ka na rin.” Isang simpleng salita. Pero sa akin, parang kutsilyo. “Mommy,” bulong ni Janine, “pwede po ba siyang maging friend?” Parang tinamaan ako ng martilyo. Friend. Ang ama mo ay kaibigan na lang. “Baby...” ngumiti ako pilit. “Hindi pa natin sila masyasdong kilala at ganoon din sila sa atin. Pero lilipas din ang panahon at pwede ng maging kaibigan.”

Bulong ko sa sarili. “We’re like childhood friends, right?” Bahagya siyang tumawa. Mukhang narinig pa ang sinabi ko. “Why? All this time, you don’t consider me a friend?” “As if you consider me like that. And no. We are not childhood friends.” Magkakilala lang siguro pero hindi friends. Palagi nga niya akong inaaway noon tapos sasabihin niyang friends kami? “Childhood sweethearts, then?”

Kapalit naman ng mga bagay na iyon ay makasama ang mokong na kaniyang matalik na kaibigan. “If I can only choose a friend! Damn it,” natatawang wika niya. “What’s the meaning of that? Payag ka na, Keanne?” Tango lang ang tugon niya sa kaibigan. Laking tuwa naman ni Cane na siya’s napapayag nito.

but not now. I mean, ayokong masayang 'yung pinagsamahan namin. Kasi paano kung maging kami tapos magbreak kami, sino nang tatakbuhan ko? Kung 'yung dating tinatakbuhan ko ay 'yun na 'yung nakasakit sa'kin 'di ba? A break up can ruin our 4 years of friendship and that's so sad! Pero kung mainlove... Why not?

I sighed and looked at him, "It's okay. I am sorry din sa lahat. But, I can't do this anymore." "What do you mean?" "Wala. Siguro ay hindi ito ang tamang panahon para sa atin," I said, "I'm sorry but hindi ko pa kaya e. Seems like that everything is so fast without thinking sa possible outcomes na mangyayari. Siguro nga ay we are meant to be friends lang. Hindi enough ang love natin." "No, don't say that. We can be more than that," he said ngunit umiling lang ako.

Ganther Uries Neric Asuncion's point of view Friendship is a thing easier to build but hardest to keep. I grew up without friends or what. I grew up inside the four corners of my room. Para sa'kin, walang kwenta ang salitang kaibigan dahil mawawala't mawawala rin sila sa buhay na'tin. Having a friend is more like having a weakness. They'll earn your trust but in the end, they'll be out of the picture in your life. Leaving you shattered and betrayed leads you to your weakest form.

Nakababa ang tingin ko nang tumingala ako. Me and my friends had our promised-- not to fall in love. Stay friends and be happy. However, this is something we cannot control although I don’t want to be or feel responsible to whatever emotions they will have in the future. Can we still remain friends if things won’t work out? Richard’s P.O.V

“I think it's time to bid goodbye to your friend, Alden. May pag-uusapan pa tayo.” Tangina. Friend? Pangako ko yan na hindi ko nagawa.

Nakayuko habang patuloy na tumutulo ang mga luha niyang ayaw papipil sa pagpatak. "It's not what I mean..." gustong magpaliwanag nito. "You asked me before, kung puwede tayong maging magkaibigan! Hindi ako nagdalawang isip na sabihing oo, Craig. Oo dahil kahit anong sitwasyon meron tayo, I still want to stay beside you. Kahit isang kaibigan lang. Pero nagkamali yata ako! Ganyan mo pala itrato ang isang kaibigan..." hindi niya mapigilang sumbat. Hinarap niya ito. Hindi na itinago ang luhaang mukha. "Maybe, we really can't be friends! Your bedwarmer can't be your friend!" Hindi niya mapigilang lakipan ng galit at sakit ang bawat kataga niya. She felt betrayed!
