FELL INLOVE WITH MY BESTFRIEND

Tahimik lamang akong nakaupo rito sa rooftop. I am waiting for someone to come. I smiled, remembering her sincere eyes and sweet smiles.

Damn, she's so priceless.

I am waiting for my bestfriend named Blessa. Sa pagkakaalam ko ay may klase pa siya sa ganitong oras. Sabagay, hinding-hindi naman ako magsasawang hintayin siya.

While staring at nothingness, I heard footsteps coming near me. I smirked when a thought flashed on my mind. And before she could even get closer, bigla akong humarap at ginulat siya.

She jumped, eyes widened. I just chuckled, shaking my head from left to right.

"Kailan ba kita magugulat ng goodtime? Tipong maiiyak ka sa gulat? Ha?!"

"Hatdog," I murmured.

She just rolled her eyes in irritation, then sat beside me. She had that sharp look, narrowed brows, and crossed arms. Pikon na naman.

"Better luck next time," pang-aasar ko pa habang nakangisi.

My smile faded, bigla kasi siyang naging tahimik, animo'y may malalim na iniisip. I was about to ask her why, when suddenly, she uttered first.

"Is it okay to fall in love with your bestfriend?"

I gulped, and divert my gazed onto somewhere else. I could see through my peripheral vision, that she's smiling sweetly.

"Bakit mo naman natanong 'yan?"

I felt her hand on my chin at dahan-dahan niya akong pinaharap sa kaniya. She stared at my eyes then she plastered a smile again.

Fuck, that smile of hers is electrifying my whole system!

"I think I'm inlove," she said, giggling.

I just found myself smiling, while staring at her. The most beautiful view I've ever seen. She just kept on giggling, probably imagining her crush along with her.

Babalewalain ko na sana iyon, nang may biglang sumagi sa aking isipan.

Wait-

Did she just said, she's inlove?

But with whom?

Bestfriend? Is it me?

Do we have mutual feelings towards each other?

I heaved a deep sighed as I gathered all of the confidence in me. "Kanino ka naman inlove?" I asked having my innocent stare at her.

"Hindi mo talaga kilala?" she blurted out of frustration. "Tanga mo naman, sino ba bestfriend ko?!"

There, my heart skipped a beat.

is it really me?

She then faced me, having a frustrated look to the highest level. My brows narrowed as I wait for her to answer.

"I am inlove with Henly! I want to confess tommorow kaso natatakot ako, " aniya.

Suddenly, I felt my world fell apart. Everything went into a slow motion, everything became blurry. Ang tanging malinaw lang sa akin ay ang mga salitang kaniyang sinabi.

"Support mo ako ha? I'll confess my feelings for him tommorow, right after my classes." untag pa niya ngunit tila parang nanlabo na talaga ang lahat sa paligid ko.

"Hey, you still there?" I snapped out my reverie when she slightly tapped my shoulder. I just smiled weakly, and nodded as an answer.

I still can't process things, I am shocked. Bigtime, to the point that my eyes is being teary. Now you got me Blessa, nagulat mo na ako this time.

All along, it was only me who consider us bestfriends?

Sabagay, sino nga naman magtuturing sa akin bilang isang matalik na kaibigan?

I'm just a lost spirit, a lonely one to be exact. Nakikita niya lang ako at nakakausap dahil may third eye siya.

I consider her as my bestfriend, my only friend.

I fell inlove with my bestfriend.

She fell inlove with her bestfriend too, but that ain't me. And it'll never be me.
