Love Story of Best Friend [Complete]

Chapter 1: The Revelation

It's prom time. The school had this crazy idea that the girls should be the ones to ask the guys out. That really sucked. I was about to ask my crush to go to the prom with me, pero being the cutest guy in campus, he obviously already had a date and it’s not me. Badtrip! One week na lang prom na, wala pa rin akong date. So ano pa ba ang dapat gawin? Eh di syempre takbo kay ever dearest bestfriend.

“Pare, still don’t have a date sa prom.” sabi ko.

“So? Ano gusto mong gawin ko? Maging date mo?” he asked. Then I just looked at him. Making pacute. At syempre alam nya na kung ano ibig sabihin nun. Kaya nga sya naturingang bestfriend eh.

“Fine! I’ll go to the prom with you.” sabi niya. Eh di masaya na ko. Sa wakas may date na ko. Alam ko naman na he’ll never let me down eh. Siya pa eh, ever dearest ko nga yun eh.

Eto na. The night that I’ve been waiting for. Of course todo ayos ako. He came to our house to pick me up. At take note, he’s on time. He was patiently waiting for me downstairs when I came down the stairs. He stood up and looked at me in awe. I hope. Pero when I saw him, I was totally blown away. Grabe! Hindi ko alam ganito pala kagwapo best friend ko! Too bad! Best friends lang kami!

Sinuot nya sakin ung corsage and then went on our way to the prom. We had such a blast. Everyone was saying, “You look good together.” and “Ang cute nyo tignan!”. Syempre, sobrang flattered naman kami. Last dance of the night na. He asked me to dance and syempre I said yes. Pakipot pa ba ako? Syempre hindi na noh. Syempre talk kami about stuff.

“You look great tonight.” sabi nya, eh di na flattered naman ako.

“Thanks. So do you.” sabi ko. I was just telling the truth.

After a moment of silence, bigla siya nagsalita.

“Tingin mo pwede maging tayo?” bigla nya tinanong.

“If ever? Why not! I’m not closing my door to anyone naman eh!” sabi ko. Kasi true naman eh. Kung alam nya lang.

“Willing to give it a try?”

“You mean tayo? Okay lang sakin.” 

“So, tayo na?” tanong niya.

“As in right now? Okay lang.” sabi ko with a smile :)

“Tayo na nga? Don’t worry, pag ‘di nag work out, PARE pa rin tayo. Trip lang. just

a try.”

“Sure. Sige tayo na.” sabi ko and we danced the night away.

Time to go home na. Before leaving his car, we said our usual goodbyes. Alam mo yun, ung mga see you tom, goodnight, call you tom, text you later, the usuals. When I was about to get out of his car, hinawakan nya kamay ko and looked intently into my eyes.

 

“What’s wrong?” ask ko, ikaw ba naman hindi ma-curious eh, bigla ka ba namang tignan ng ganun. Pero, syempre tinanong ko yun with pacute na smile.

“Can I kiss you?! Sa cheeks lang po.” Sabi nya sabay nagblush. Kinilig ako, so I said yes. He held my head and leaned over to kiss me on the cheeks. It was warm, soft and gentle.

 

“Sige, ingat sa pagdrive.” that was all I can say.

Pagpasok ko sa room ko, grabe! Kilig ako!! As in! He had never looked at me like that before. I know what you guys are thinking. Napakatanga ko para pumayag diba?! But what can I do?! I was already falling for him. And when I finally had a chance to call him mine, I quickly grabbed it. Kahit na sabihin nyo na hindi ganon ka seryoso, at least I could say na, once in my life he was mine.

Mabilis kumalat ang balita. The next day, alam na halos ng buong school na kami na. At first, we were too shy to admit it, pero sa sobrang kakulitan ng mga friends namin, wala na kaming ibang nagawa kundi umamin. Graduation na. Still going strong pa rin kami. You’d think na we’ve gotten serious na. Ewan ko lang. There are times na serious, may times na hindi. Pero I was secretly hoping na we are. On the day of our graduation, our families celebrated together. Oh diba?! Legal kami! Hehehe.
