Between Wishing and Hoping

My Bestfriend,My Only Love

"Hi! i am Enrique Gamma, you can call me ri-ri and you are??" Sabi nya sakin with his sweet smile

"Uhhm hi i am Diana Ella Summer, and you can also call me la-la"pag-greet back ko sakanya

I am here at the side of the beach at Batangas writing anything on the sand using a stone and nagiistar gazing narin because it was dark already when this ri-ri came

"Oh uhhm how old are you by the way??" Ri-ri

"6 turning 7 on may how about you??" Me

"Same"maiksi pero malapad ang pagkakangiti nyang sinabi ito

"Same?? As in you are turning 7 on may too??"me

"Yes" ri-ri

"Ohh" yan nalang ang nasabi ko

"I think we are destined" nagulat ako sa sinabi nya pero i just smiled at him

"How did you know??"me
tignan nya muna ako bago sya ulit tumingin sa langit

"Look at the stars can you see glowing two stars na magkadikit na magkadikit as in ung nangingibabaw ung pagglow nilang dalawa beyond all the stars??" Ri-ri
tumingin naman ako sa langit as he told

"Yes" me

"My dad tell me a story of that superticious belief, if may kasama kang someone that you think is going to be special or special for you but you still not know the answer just look at that bright sky and let the destiny give you the sign as i told you earlier about the two bright star that is close to each other. My mom and my dad has proven that, their own theories because before they still not know each other 'til one night nagkabunggo nalng sila sa isang park and dun nagstart ang friendship nila. Dad said on that night while they are sitting at the bench of the park dad saw this two super glowing star that is close to each other and from that time dad think that he and my mom were destined because destiny na mismo ang nagbigay ng sign and until now look sila parin" nakingiti sya ng napakaganda at tamis while telling the story

"Wow" me

Bigla nalang syang tumayo at tumakbo palayo kaya bigla syang nawala sa paningin ko.

"ri-ri??!!" I am shouting and shouting when someone grab me from my back, I saw ri-ri smiling at me while handling a shell that have a lace or should I say necklace? And naka embroad dun yung name kong la-la, pumunta na sya sa likod ko then he put it on me..
I am looking at him with a confused look... He had the same necklace as mine ang pinagkaiba nga lang ri-ri yung name ng Saknya....

"it is a friendship necklace okay...
Best friend forever??? " he led out his pinky and I do the same too

"best friend forever." me

"Pinky swear?? " ri-ri

"Pinky swear. " me

After our pinky swear thing, nagulat naman ako bigla ng maglabas sya ng ring..

"Woah!! And what is that for??!!

"ito naman ang magiging symbol na tayo na ang destiny.. " ri-ri

"Are you serious??!" me

"Of course why I would not be so if you let me it is okay for me to wait. This is gonna be the symbol that I am always here waiting for the right time to court you. I promise to wait until the right time and age for us but promise me that you will wait for me too because I don't know what will happen to me if you don't kasi hindi ko na kaya pang makita ang sarili ko marrying other woman because I already found my destiny.. "ri-ri

Tapos hinawakan nya yung Kamay ko

"Please???" he is begging me

"I promise" me

"really???! "ri-ri

"yes.." me. Then he put the ring on me

Ever since that day as he said we were always together until now that we are 17 turning 18 on May and now my parents and his parents votes for our relationship and my parents also have his blessings so at 18 we are legal couples na kami......
