"Hey, guys! Welcome in my channel," I smiled the camera and wave my hand. "So, today video is ipapakita ko sa inyo ang pagiging isang writer."

Nakatingin lang ako sa camera and ang daming sinabi. I admit the camera is important with me.

"Respect blind people. Why? Because they judge others by their personality, not by their looks." Nakatingin ako sa libro habang nagsasalita. "Meron pa. When your mood's not good without any reason, you definitely are missing someone." Ngumiti ako nang loko sa camera and nag peace sign sa ginawa ko.

Tumawa ako at nilapag ang libro sa mesa. "Friendship is good for your health. Believe it or not, people with larger networks of friends live longer!" tugon ko. "Mahalaga talaga ang friendship. I have a friend and that was Abby. She was kind and brave through. Her name was impact as 'Her first name of Abby has made her a friendly, approachable, and generous person', no?" I ask the camera.

"She was talkative. Find it easy to meet and make friends with many people." tugon ko. "So, about the friendship facts. I can give it like this." Binasa ko ang libro na hawak ko. Na ako ang nag sulat.

"Our best friends are pretty much like us. It's right in most cases - you and your friend share the same social identity for your other friends and social circle." I said. "And other one. Having no friends could be as deadly as smoking, a Harvard University study suggested. There's a link between loneliness and the levels of a blood-clotting protein which can cause heart attacks and stroke." sabi ko.

Nang madami na akong nasabi tinapos ko na ang vlog ko and dumeretso ako sa kusina para uminom nang tubig. "Thirsty..." I whisper myself.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko na tumunog iyon.

Mama:

Ainsley, where are you now?

Binaba ko ang tubig sa lamesa at umupo. Kinagat ko ang sarili kong labi at tumipa sa cellphone ko.

Me:

On my condo Ma.

Mama:

Come home this afternoon. You will meet his family.

Me:

Okay.

I know that I have fiancé. Noon pa 'to pinag-usapan namin nila mama at papa at hindi naman ako tumanggi. 'Yong family nang fiancé ko ay okay lang naman daw sa kanila kung okay daw sa anak nila.

My mom said na pwede lang na i off the wedding or engagement party bukas kung ayaw ko. But sa tingin ko wala naman problem kung close din ako sa fiancé ko. He was perfect and kind. Wala siyang girlfriend kaya hindi magiging kumplikado ang relasyon namin.

"Where have you been?" I ask Rein na kababago lang dating. Tumingin siya sa akin at ininom ang tubig na ininom ko na kanina. Hindi pa naman ubos yun. "May problema ba?" I ask him. He just shook his head.

"I just take a bath." sabi niya at nilapag ang mga dala niya sa sofa.

"People don't choose to be depressed, but they do make a choice about how to deal with it." Bigla kong sabi. Napatingin siya sa akin at kumunot ang noo. "Kung may problema ka tell me about your problem." sabi ko.

"I'm not depressed." Inikot niya ang mata niya. "I'm okay, okay? I was just kind of.... I don't know." Sabay kibit balikat niya.

"What is it? Tell me."

"This fast few days...I feel..hmm...empty." sagot niya.

"Why? Why are you feel empty?" tanong ko.

"I just... I don't know." Umupo siya sa sofa. Lumapit ako at umupo sa tabi niya. "Maybe I think that i was escaping..."

"Escape of what?" tanong ko.

"Of hurting. Natatakot ata ako na masaktan that's why. But kapag iniisip ko na gusto ko may kasama I feel alone and empty inside me," Tinuro niya ang puso niya at yumuko.

"Enjoy life today, because yesterday is gone, and tomorrow is never promised." Napatingin siya sa akin. "Yes. Tumakas ka kahapon so try na tumakas naman ngayon. But escaping is not a good solution. You have to face it." tugon ko.

"Thank you."

"A true friend who understands your troubles is far more valuable than a hundred friends who only show up for your smiles." sabi ko. "So, trust me, okay? Tell me your problem, Rein. Pagkatapos mong sabihin ang problema mo mag a advised ako sayo and I'm sure na maiintindihan mo yun. Your smart kaya di'ba?" tugon ko.

"May sasabihin ako sayo.." Inangat ko ang tingin ko sa kanya. "May mahal ako. And im sure that i love her."

Kinagat ko ang labi ko. "Who is she?" tanong ko. "Pwede ko hindi ituloy ang engagement party bukas." sabi ko.

Umiling siya. "No. I think I'm falling for you, Ainsley." biglaan niyang sabi. Nakatitig siya mata ko ang I know na nagsasabi siya nang totoo. And I feel now is happy. Very happy.

Ngumiti ako. "So, that's feeling is mutual." tugon ko.

:)

Thanks for reading this!

This is the last message for Ainsley.

"No one in the world can lie to you if they look into your eyes."
