Bestfriends DO Fall in Love 2: Will two Bestfriends still fall in Love?

Prologue

They say the person who left isn't always the same to the one who comes back

Rome, Italy

Its been 6 years since I left. Kamusta na kaya siya? Is she okay now? Pop said she was never okay. Oh really? She looks fine to me. So I guess I've made the right decision to let her go. Pero parang di ko magawa?

I promised myself I'll forget about her. Us. Even if it hurts like hell I'd do it. If that way she'll be happier.

3 years ago when I realized how pathetic I was, still in love with the same person. To a person whom I don't know if still give a damn about me.

*Flashback 3 years ago*

Dec. 20th. Birthday niya. Kumusta kaya yun? I sure do miss her... a lot.

Hindi ko kasi magawang tawagan or I-email man lang siya, baka kasi malungkot lang siya ulit pag-naalala niya ako.

I grabbed my phone and dialed her number. I didn't care how much it costs, I just want to hear her voice so bad, at ngayon birthday niya, I wouldn't miss it for the world.

It started to ring, ano kayang sasabihin ko? Galit kaya siya sa'kin? Namiss din niya kaya ako? Ano kayang-

(hello?)

I froze. A guy answered. And I believe it's not just a guy.

I didn't respond. Nahahati yung decision sa utak ko if sasagutin ko ba or I'll just hang up.

Bago ko pa man maibaba yung phone, I heard a very familiar voice.

(Dylan? Sino kausap mo?)

Avril.. god I missed that voice.. and Dylan? Where's Andrew?

(I don't know, no one is answering, be there in a minute babe)

And the call ended.

Babe.. she used to call me that. But the difference is, we were never lovers. But bestfriends.

Avril and Dylan.. I guess they're together now. I thought you'd wait for me Avril.. pero oo nga naman, why would you? Ni hindi ko nga nai-voice out sa'yo yung feelings ko eh.

I f only I knew a day would come that I have to leave you, sinabi ko na sana lahat lahat sa'yo. But I wasn't able to do so. I was a coward.

Suddenly, I heard my phone rang. I quickly grabbed it, thinking it was her. But I was wrong.

"hello?"

(hi keith! Its Yen)

*End of flashback*

Many years have passed and a lot of things changed.

"keith, Can we talk?" Tito said as he entered my room.

"what is it now?"

"what's happening to you? You used to be a very happy person. Is there something wrong?"

"nothing's wrong"

"oh really, how come I saw this on the trashbox?" he said pointing at my old guitar.

"...Last time I touched it you scolded me to death, and now I'm seeing this outside your room?"

SHE used to play that. But I don't think I'll ever need that again, so I got rid of it.

"Keith, napansin kong mula nung pumunta tayo dito sa Italy, unti-unti ka ng nagbabago. What happened to the Keith who loves music? Who loves enjoying things?"

"He grew up. Could you please stop lecturing me? The moment you said we'll leave, did you hear anything from me? Wala diba? So please, just leave me alone"

This is really pissing me off. Why the hell does he have to bring up the past? Can't he move on already?

"as much as I want to, I can't just leave you alone. Especially now that you are to be engaged."

My eyes widened. Engaged? What the f*** is that all about?

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"We're going home to the Philippines, pack your things"
