UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES OF YESTERDAY

24

"Sinabi talaga yun? sa harapan mo pa?" Marie was shocked, kinikwento ko na sakanya yung nagyari nung pinakilala ako ni Colt sa parents niya, though I don't want to talk about it, she's forcing me to talk.

"Don't mind it, Colt and I are okay now" I said. We're okay now, we're doing good together, we're happy and we love each other. So as long as we're not keeping secrets to each other, as long as we trust each other, as long as we love each other then no need to worry about.

"Are you sure? if ever na may mangyari ulit, I'm here okay?" she said and hugged me tightly. "I love you, Isla"

"Love you" her hugged went tighter and tighter, halos di na ako makahinga. "Marie....tama na...di ko na kaya"

"Please wag mo kong iwan....kayanin mo, diba sabi mo mahal mo ako?" I laughed, she's insane!. "Shar lungs"

We cooked dinner together and also eat together, parang mag-jowa lang. I don't know what to do if wala si Marie sa tabi ko. Di ko alam kung ano ang kaya kung gawin kapag nasaktan siya.

I treat Marie as my bestie cause she's always there when I needed someone to listen on my problems, a shoulder to lean on and a chest to cry on. I treat her like my sister because she'll do everything for me. I treat like she's my mother because when I needed embrace ,she gave me the warmest. I treat her like my own teacher cause she's always there to give me advice and teach me on how to keep going and keep fighting, to give me courage to continue in life when I wanted to stop.

That's why I love her to the moon and back, infinity and beyond, always and forever.

"Woooooah-woah" Marie jumped out of joy when she finally finish her plates. "Thank you Lord!, now I can eat shomai!"

Miss na miss na niya talaga kainin yung shiomai, matagal tagal narin simula nung huling kumain ako non.

I looked at her which so much joy in my eyes, she looks like a little girl who win stuff toy on arcades.

I finish my plates already, kanina ko palang yun natapos. Sabay naming ipa-pass yun sa prof namin.

"Yieeee, tara libre ko dali na!" I said. "Bihira pa naman ako manlibre"

"Wait-I'll just clean up this mess" she said putting the pencil and eraser on her pencil case.

"Kamusta na kayo ng bebe mo?" I asked Marie, we're on our way now papuntang shomai. The three girls are not here, they're busy on there studies too, bihira nalang makalabas ng room sina Yumi at Sharra.

"He was busy in his studies, wala na ngang tulog eh" she said kicking some small stones on the street. Naalala ko pala, Ram was taking the same course as Colt, Doctor.

Pagkatapos ko siyang ilibre ng shiomai, dumeritso kami sa condo. I sit on the couch for a while before I entered the restroom to take a bath. Marie and I talk earlier na pupunta raw kami sa mall.

"Isla" she called my name and clicked the elevator.

"Uhm?" I ask, busy kakachat kay Colt.
"Bakit? may problema ka ba, Marie?"

"Let's go to the mall, invite Colt and I'll invite Ram too" she said, were now walking in the hallway, papunta sa condo namin.

"Uhm, okay, I'll tell him if his not busy" I smiled at her and she respond a nod. I chat Colt after that and he said na busy raw siya sa mga readings niya pero okay lang daw sa kanya, he wanted to rest too.
