I'm here at our library, busy reading a novel story i found here. I love reading romance, adventure and fiction stories. Dahil sa pagmamahal ko sa mga libro halos hindi na ako maka-usap sabi nila Mom. Masyado kasi akong naka focus sa librong binabasa ko para sa mga susunod na mga mangyayari at ayokong ma missed iyon.

Tapos ako nang basahin ang librong binasa ko at tumayo na ako para ibalik ito sa kanyang kinalalagyan habang may headphone na naka suot aa tenga ko habang nakikinig ng kanta mula sa k-pop group na seventeen.

Im here at adventure section and nag hahanap ako ng panibagong banasahin para sa ngayon araw. Based on Mom's observation to me, i always read 4-8 books in a day. She can't even believe i can do it. Also me, i can't believe i can do it.

Anyways, I found a great book i think based on the synopsis and it's Mom's new purchased book. Bumalik ako sa coffee table dito sa libray para dun mag basa. Sinulat ko muna ang title at author ng book sa isang notebook na white na may nakasulat;

For Keeps.

Dito nakalagay mga memories na gusto kong i keep forever it's like a album but it's a random content where i wrote here my best experience, the stories i read also my rants.

I was busy reading when someone interrupt it by calling me on my phone. I took my phone from my pocket and saw the caller. It's Amira. My childhood friend, bestfriend, my comfort person. Binaba ko ang libro at sinagot ang tawag niya.

"Hello Mira?" I said.

"Hello Emrily!" Sagot niya naman pabalik. "Are you busy today?"

"Uhm.. Yeah I'm reading a book right now."


"Oh sorry to interrupt you. But can you fetch me here from Daisy's house?" Oh right. It's Daisy birthday. Wala ako dun dahil hindi naman ako interesado sa mga party especially when it's a wild party.

"I'm sorry I can't." May binabasa pa ako girl. "Where's your driver? You can't contact him?"


"Our driver was on the vacation in a week right now with his family e. Kaya walang magsusundo sa akin also Ivan was wasted too. He can't drive baka kung ano mangyari sa amin."



I looked at the wall clock and saw it was just 9pm in the evening and they're already wasted? I guess the party started early and the people was too thirsty to drink.



"Okay. I can ask our driver to drive both of you." I offered. "I will text you when he's on the way." She thanked me and ended the call.


Iniwan ko ang mga gamit ko sa loob ng library at bumaba para hanapin yun driver namin at sabihin na kung pwedeng sunduin si Amira.





"Oh Emirly." I heared Mom's said at timingin naman ako sa kanya na nasa dining table, kumakain kasama si Dad. "Come here let's eat. Hindi ka pa kumakain. Join us."




Lumapit ako sa kanila at humalik sa pisngi ni Dad and Mom.  "Nakita niyo po ba si Manong driver?" I ask them at liminga linga.





"No. He's just somewhere. Manang pwede po patawag si Manong?" Sabi ni Dad. Tumango ang si Manang at umalis.


Umupo ako sa upuan katabi ni Mom para kumain. Natakam ako bigla sa pagkain, parang ilan araw akong hindi kumain kahit kumakain naman ako ng tatlo o apat sa isang araw.





"Hija, why are you looking for Manong? May pupuntahan kaba?" Mom asked. I shaked my head and drunk my water before talk.





"No. I want him to fetch Mira because I can't. I said to her i was busy. So I suggest, Manong can fetch here from birthday party. Also, wala daw po silang driver nasa vacation." I said while looking at them. They nod at me and continue eating.
