Isn't it a Magic?! [One-Shot Story]

You’ve got to BELIEVE in MAGIC!

“No man is an island.” Every person can’t live by themselves. We need other person called FRIENDS.

Friends, when we met them magic might happen.

Just like in my experience, since I meet my friends I’ve got to believe in magic.

That’s why I am wondering, this world is full of strangers. Why do I meet them?

It’s because my good friends shared some good and bad memories when we are in grade school?

Or now I am in high school it’s a magic that I gain my close friends who make my feeling comfortable when I am with them?

Or I have my true friends and best friend that I can tell my problems and secrets to them?

Yes! All of that person may exist.

Just believe in magic, nothing is impossible.

Our life is too boring if we aren’t having any friend, isn’t it?

My best friend is very valuable to me. He is the good, better and the best of all.

There is one thing that is special to us.

Both of us are music lover, we love to play guitar. He and I are like a GUITAR and its CAPO.

There’s a hidden magic behind those two things, don't you believe?

I thought we became close because of texting. We are always making many conversations when we are both online on Facebook. He shared his problem about his crushes to me and I make some advices to help him.

In our English Club he is the president and I’m his vice. Every time when our English teacher told me to have some photocopy on his book for our handouts, I always ask him for help. We became closer and became closer to each other because of that.

We always work together in making our assignments and projects. When I ran out of money, he lent me.

We influenced each other.

He influenced me to listen in the radio every night. We are starting 9PM until 2AM. After of that we make some stakes. The rules are we must not sleep, in order to know that we are not yet asleep we need to text each other and if he doesn’t reply after 30 minutes he must pay me in the morning.  And if he falls asleep he will pay me.

I love anime. Some of anime I have been watched, he watches it too. In our school every lunch breaks and snack time we always eat together.

I can’t forget this; we eat lunch while listening to music. The left side of my earphone is for him and the right side is mine. While eating, he also eaten the wire of my earphone and after of that I laughed at him very hard.

That’s our bonding! There are too many memories that we share to each other. Sometimes it’s silly, it’s funny, and sometimes it’s sad that’s why I’m really glad we met and spent time together and that is a magic.

What if one day that’s magic fades away? All of the memories that we shared to each other have been vanished. Do I still believe?

One day in our boring class I felt sleepy. I thought all magic fades away? I and my best friend fought. I thought that was our Science subject that he skipped. I can't believe it, its called cutting classes. I've been mad on him. That was very annoying.

After our class, we go home together; because of my angriness I'm shocked! I punched him on his face. And he got hurt a lot.

He also punched me to on my shoulder but that was not strong as I have done to him. After of that I really hate myself. I regret that.

In the next day I apologize to him but he is always neglecting me every time I come to him. I am so stupid!

What have I done? I bent my knees and say sorry in front of him but he neglected me again.

One time it’s a rainy day. I follow him when he went home, and I offer an umbrella to him and he neglected me again, again and again. Both of us were wet, cause he is running away from me. That was very sorrowful.

Yes, I admit it, I made a mistake. I always distressed by my conscience.  Some things cannot be forgotten, no matter how sad or painful they are.

After of that incident, he always ignores me. Every time I come to him, he evades on me. He didn’t text me anymore. He didn’t chat me anymore. We don’t make some stakes again. We don’t eat together unlike before. We don’t spend time together. Everything has changed.

Real pain is the result of losing you care about and it hurts, it’s really hurts. In that time I think the magic truly flies away, I think there’s no such a word “MAGIC” so I’ve cried a lot, I’ve cried really hard.

“Nheil, Nheil!  Anong nangyari sayo? Bakit ka umiiyak!?” my best friend said.  I woke up and swiftly said “Huh?! Salamat panaginip lang.” And I hug him tightly. “Bakit?” he said. “Ahh, wala, wala, wala. Uwian na pala, tara uwi na tayo!” I said. He quickly replied “Kain muna tayo! Gutom na'ko!” I quickly also said “Tara! Libre kita! Ikukwento ko sayo lahat.”

And we became closer to each other, closer than before, and add and multiply memories together. We promised each other that we will be the Godfather of our children.

I am really thankful to God because I met him. I do really BELIEVE on the existence of MAGIC.

YEAH! I believe in the HIDDEN MAGIC behind the GUITAR and its CAPO, and that is our FRIENDSHIP. I am the GUITAR and my best friend is the CAPO. You can use a guitar without a capo, it still produce sound, but when you use a capo on it that sound will become wonderful.

YES! That’s the REAL MAGIC!

And you’ve got to BELIEVE on it!
