The Best Confession

Iris

He loved video cameras.

He loved recording videos of us.

The three of us were always happy. At times when Ali and I would fight, he was always there to reconcile us.

But now, he's gone...

I still can't believe it.

Basti is gone.

He met an unfortunate accident while taking a video of us, and Ali and I are lost.

We just can't accept the loss of our best friend.

It was after the burial when I saw his camera. I didn't realize it was with my things.

I couldn't help but check it. I just miss him so much. His last video - the one he took before a delivery truck took his life was still there.

The three of usually watch the videos Basti took together, then Ali and I will complain about his lack of appearance on the videos. But he'll just laugh and say that it's a given since he's the videographer.

Ali refused to watch this last video and still blames himself for what happened.

But I miss him so much. I want to see him. So I watched it, knowing that it could inflict my wound further.

The video was pretty damaged. Some parts shows static while some continuously skips. It shows clips of Ali and me being sweet. It then jumped to the conversation of the two with Ali nudging him to get a girlfriend already. He just replied he already have someone he likes. The video jumped again to clips of me, me, and more of me. I thought that it is just because the video is damaged that's why it shows just me. I already felt strange but ignored it. Until he flashed on the screen.

His face looked nervous, serious. I was afraid of what his face is showing until he broke into a smile. He then started speaking:

"Ali, I'm sorry for keeping this from you. But that's why I'm making this video. I don't know if I can say it to you face to face. I'll try, but if I can't then I give this to you. Please do know that I respect you, and it's really just hard for me."

He stopped and then scratched his head, looking sheepish.

"Ali, I'm in love with Iris." He suddenly said. I could only continue watching.

"Don't worry, I won't take her away from you no matter what. If ever you fight or anything, I'd be the first to help you. I just thought you ought to know. I hate lying to you. And--" the video disappeared to be replaced by static once more.

I hadn't realized I had started crying. I never knew. I suddenly wanted to say sorry for not noticing, and thank you for loving someone like me. But I can't - I no longer can.

I hugged the camera close to my heart. I miss my best friend.

The video started again, and I moved it close to my face once more.
