Clarissa's POV
"Sa loob na tayo mag kamustahan." Sabi ni mama at pumasok na nga kami sa bahay. The dinner table was already set siguro hineads up na sila ni kuya Hans. Umupo na kami and dad started the prayer.
"Before we begin, let me formally introduce to you guys my guest." I said and they gave my their attention. "This is Miguel Stan, Miguel this is my family. You've met my dad already, this is my mom, kuya Jay the eldest among us and kuya Hans" they all smiled at him and greeted back
"We met Miguel when we we're in states" dad said then so on and we ate dinner after that. They we're all ears and really happy that i found a new friend. Hindi naman sa hindi ako friendly mapili kasi ako when it comes to friends kaya maliit lang yung circle of friends ko when i say maliit sobrang liit. Only Eyn, Dominic and Shasha stayed with me before and now i have Miguelito and im happy for that.
"Im happy that Ysa found a new friend while in states at least hindi sya nabore while she was there" masayang sabi ni mama while we're having our desert "I'm happy that you are here with us Miguel" kuya Jay said nag smile naman si Miguel sa kaniya.
"Thank you for having me here, ma'am, doc and sir. Im really happy also to meet the family of Clari. Kwento kase sya ng kwento and im also happy to be her friend." He said then looked at me I smiled at him. Meeting Miguel was not my plan but having him in my life was a blessing. We looked out for each others back if something happens, big or small we are always there for each other.
"Oh Iho stop with the formalities, feel free to call me tita instead." Mama said Miguel to make him comfortable and mama doesn't want to be called ma'am, because for her it seems like she's that old even though she doesn't look like her age. "Ok po tita" he replied and continued with his dinner.
They were having a great time and enjoying each other's company, dont get me wrong im enjoying too its just that I can't get my mind off of Eyn or Anne rather.
Dinner ended and Miguel has to leave since his parents are looking for him already. Everyone bid their goodbye and looking forward to seeing him again. We helped clean the table and wash dishes and right after we said our goodnight to each other we entered our rooms.
I'm already laying on my bed as memories were clouding my thoughts.
(Flashback 5 years ago)
Last week of summer and I'm just here in my room reading books and painting as I hear someone shouting from my window "Clari! lets go outside, everyone is waiting for you!" It was Eyn inviting me to come downstairs and join them. I smiled as i walk towards the window and waved hi to her and she waved back smiling. Hearing excitement from her voice makes me envious and happy at the same time.
She can do things she can while i just sit from the corner and watch her doing things I'd also would love to do. As much as I want to, however I cannot
"Just wait up Eyn! magbibihis lang ako." replied by a 15 year old me also shouting back from my window, she giggled so cheerfully and ran back with the other kids.
I can hear their laughter and enjoyment up from here. So i excitedly changed my pajamas into some denim jumper pants and a plain white shirt underneath it and paired it with my white converse. I tied my hair into a messy bun and placed my sketch book, a pencil case full of coloring materials and my go-to paints inside my art bag. I may be 15 but me and my friends still have a heart like a 5 year old.
"Clari where do you think you're going?" I heard dad blurted those words as I sneakily pass by the living room. I slowly turned to them and I saw mom and dad with their folding arms and those questioning looks. "Um going out with my friends at the park?" I jokingly asked them "Guys its Saturday and we don't usually hang out like before." I explained to them " And plus! you see these? I brought my art bag for me to also enjoy with them." I added assuring them my safety. I can see their face softened a lil bit and i know i won at that moment. "Please?" i asked them and they sighed yes! i said to my self. "Just be careful ok? Be back before dark" mom said and i excitedly shriek and kissed them both at their cheeks.
As i went out the house i can feel the breeze on my skin and i can say its a nice day to be out with your friends. I can clearly hear their jolly laughs as im approaching them. "Thank goodness nandito kana, andami na naming napagusapan" Sheryl explained as soon as i got close to them.
Umupo ako sa bakanteng spot thats beside Eyn. Sheryl Lance, yung pinakamaingay sa amin, she may be happy but we know shes like that kase ayaw nyang kahit magkakasama kami ay malungkot parin sya and we understand her "Just fill me in. They caught me sneaking out kase" i laughed and so did they.
"Pinag usapan lang naman namin yung mga nangyayari lately, about us of course." sabi ni Eyn at binigyan ako ng peanut butter and jelly sandwhich. "This tastes good, sinong gumawa neto?" I asked after I took a bite from the sandwhich, sakto lang yung paglagay nung pb&j.
"Sino paba?" tanong nila "Mama mo?" I jokingly said and tumawa naman kami, ganyan kami pag magkakasama big or small things tinatawanan namin. "Grabe kayo ah, pag ako nagka restaurant wala kayong libre sakin." Ayesha Cole, ang chef sa aming apat. Mahilig syang mag bake at mag luto ng kung ano ano kaya go agad kami para mag try ng mga bagong luto niya. Nasa iisang school sila ni Sheryl and iisang school naman kami ni Eyn.
We had fun that day. We laughed, talked about a lot of things, played for a while and also painted for a while and bid our goodbyes.
I didn't know that that day will be the last time I will be able to be with them and those happy moments will turn into memories.
