My Bestfriend (COMPLETED)

Wakas

Today, I'll end my first novel. Thank you for reading and supporting me! Let me know what you guys think about my story :) You  can also ask me questions about this story if you ever find some things confusing. I would certainly miss Samantha and Adam. But I hope you'll support me after this too, I would continue to post more stories and series. And to all those aspiring writer like me, I'll end this with a quote.

"I encourage you to just write the words, love. Write them raw, write them fierce. Write them now.

One day, you might need them. They will find their way, somehow.

Even if they only journey back into your own heart, they have a purpose."

— Sophie Wilkinson

"No, you tell me why do we need to fake his identity. That's too much, Gabrielle." I opened my eyes as I hear Dada sighing. Kumunot ang noo ko, what are they talking about?

"Aaden, I don't want our child to grow up with all those reporters! Sisirain natin ang buhay niya kapag sinabi natin sa publiko kung sino siya!" Mama's voice suddenly echoed. Mukhang nagtatalo sila, mama sounds so frustrated.

"But is it really necessary to do that? I want to claim my child, Gabrielle..." Dada said in a low voice. Hindi ko maintindihan ang sinasabi nila. What's the matter? All I know is it's about faking and identity.

What's that anyway? I think faking is liar's brother... or is it his son? Pinilig ko ang ulo ko. I heard my yaya told me that! Hindi ko lang maalala kung alin doon ang tama.

"We've hidden his identity for five years, Aaden. I'm sure this move will be the best for him! Besides, kaya naman niyang magtake ng advanced classes!" I heard mama said. Tumayo ako sa kama at dumungaw sa nakabukas na pintuan.

There, I saw my parents talking. Nasa tapat sila ng hagdanan. I slightly slid my head out off the door to saw them clearly.

"Promise me we'd eventually tell them," Dada held Mama's hand. Tumango si mama at bumuntong hininga.

"I'm sorry, I just don't want those reporters flocking on Dame, he'll lose his freedom. Kung hindi ka ba naman kasi ganito kasikat!" Hinampas ni mama ang dibdib ni Dada. Dada chuckled and hugged her. He whispered something that I can't hear.

Pinikit ko ng mariin ang mata at pinigilan ang sarili. No! You shouldn't interfere, Adam. That's an adult talk! You're still mama's baby!

I sighed as I opened the door widely and run to them. I placed my hands behind me. "Mama, what's identity? Who's faking?" I closed my eyes as I let out those words. I can't control myself! I need to know!

Halata ang gulat sa mukha nila. Kumalas sa yakap si mama. Lumuhod siya at ngumiti sa akin. She held my shoulders, "Hmm? Why are you still up, Adam? I thought you're sleepy drippy already?"

"I'm sorry mama! I woke up from my sleepy drippy," Sumimangot ako. This is a bad move! Dapat pala ay hindi ko na sila tinanong!

Umangat ang tingin ko kay Dada. He also crouched to talk to me. "This is an adult talk, baby. Diba dada told you no adult talk for Adam for now?"

"Yes, I know Dada. But I just need to know, please?" I pleaded with my fingers intertwined. I heard them both sigh and mama stroked my hair softly.

"We'll talk about this tomorrow, okay? For now, go and sleepy drippy," She smiled sweetly. Tumango tango ako, okay then! But she has to promise!
