I Love You My Bestfriend (ILYMBF)

Chapter 3: A Monster's Sorry

-FORD-

Dixon. Nagpaulit-ulit ang pangalan na ‘yan sa utak ko. Whoever that guy is, he would surely has a role in Czarina’s life, once I don’t make a way to stop him. This is not my first time to be in Manila, but this would be my longest time to stay here in my history. It only means that, I will be spending my time, away from my bestfriend.

Kung uuwi man ako sa Bicol, maybe just during school break vacation or Christmas vacation, babalik din dito agad para mag-aral. Kung sana hindi na ako sinama pa rito ni papa, edi sana mas masaya ako ngayon. I miss my hellcat, and I’m missing everything about her.

I sit down on the couch while touring my eyesight in every corner of this house. Malaki rin naman but I don’t feel any goodvibes here compared when I am in Bicol. Boring for short.

I turn on the tv and sets it on my favorite channel. NICK JR. I like watching cartons specially Paw Patrol and Blaize. Ito ‘yung pinagkakaabalahan namin ni Czarina kapag nasa bahay niya kami.

Minutes later biglang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok ang kararating lang na si papa. Maybe he’s from the school where I will be transferring at.

“Pa, bakit kasi pumayag pa kayo na isama ako rito? I’d rather be there than spend my time with somebody who I don’t know who is”

Ibinaba niya ang kaniyang bag sa couch at tumabi sa’kin.

“Anak, mas mabuti kung dito ka mag-aaral. Mas maganda ang quality education dito kumpara sa Bicol since mas bihasa ang mga professor mo rito”

I doubt it. I don’t like the idea about degrading Bicol in terms of quality education. Kung tutuusin, mas angat ang Bicol sa quality education compared on the urban. Sabayan mo pa ng proper showmanship of attitude.

“Pa, I can have the quality education even if I stay there. Availaing it depends on the students, not just on the school itself. So please, allow me to go back home”

“Gustuhin ko man anak pero mama mo ang nagdesisyon kaya wala tayong magagawa kundi ang sumunod” he responsed.

“Pa, please talk to her. I don’t want to stay here for a long time”

5 years? Hindi ko kayang mahiwalay sa bestfriend ko nang ganong katagal. Ayokong magkaroon ng gap ang pagiging mag-bestfriend namin. Not this time.

“Anak, alam ko naman kung bakit ayaw mong mag-aral dito sa Manila. You’re missing your bestfriend, aren’t you? At alam ko rin na higit pa sa bestfriend ang turing mo sa kaniya. Pero kailangan mo munang unahin ang sarili mo bago mo siya dapat gustuhin. Pagdating ng panahon, kung kayo talaga ang para sa isat-isa, hayaan mong pagtagpuin ulit kayo ng tadhana”

Tinapik niya ako sa likod bago siya umalis. You heard it right. Si Czarina ang tinutukoy kong pinu-pormahan ko. Hindi ko lang magawang sabihin sa kaniya because I am afraid to be rejected. Naghahanap ako ng tamang tsempo kung pa’no ko siya liligawan. And now I am threatened sa pagdating ni Dixon sa buhay ni Czarina. That’s why I told her not to get close to that guy.

Madaling naupos ang oras ngayong umaga. We have no proper discussion at puro lang self introduction and description of the subject. I take note my schedule in ¼ size index card para mabilis kong masaulo. And it goes this way.
