"Bestfriend, kapag may ginawa ba kong kasalanan sayo mapapatawad mo pa ako?" shin asked. Why is she asking like that? Is there anything that i dont know?

"I will forgive you."

"Kahit malaking kasalanan pa yun?" dun na ko napatingin sa kanya. Why is she acting like that? Pero napaisip din ako. Oo nga, what if may nagawa siyang malaking kasalanan sa akin. Can I forgive her?

"O-oo naman shin. Bestfriend kita eh!" I shouted her. "Manood na nga lang tayo, I dont wanna miss this episode so come on, just watch." i changed the topic. Nakakainis naman kasi! Why is she asking like that out of the blue?

"Okay." I looked at her. Mapapatawad ko nga ba talaga siya when the time she did anything bad to me?

And the answer is YES OFCOURSE! She's my childhood bestfriend! My partner in crime, my sister, my helper in times of need, etc. I cant imagine myself without her.

I shrugged then go back watching doraemon. My hobby. Dont ever think that Im childish okay?

Its just because--- Uh, he's cute okay? And adorable! Ugh. Why am I explain this to you? Im really crazy sometimes.

"Babalik na si kuya carl dito sa philippines ah? Are you excited?" I asked shin. Kakatapos lang naming manood and now we're baking cookies. Oh, by the way Im here at my mansion. Uh, no. My parents mansion rather. Minsan lang akong umuwi dito kasi I have my own condo. Dad bought it for me. We're here because we dont have any classes. So, bonding time.

My parents aren't here at the philippines now. They are at london if im not mistaken? For their business trip. And yes, they are both busy on their business. I dont have any sister nor brother. That's why sometimes im being spoiled brat.

And about kuya carl? He's my cousin. Shin likes him. But carl loves someone. I dont know who's that lucky girl because I didn't even meet her. But the only thing I knew is that, carl broke up with that girl because his family dont like her. And obviously, carl was hurt. So he decided to go in states and study there. But now, he will come back here and I dont know what's the reason again.

"Si c-carl b-babalik?!" she asked with widened eyes.

"Yup. He talked to me last night."

"When?"

"Next week daw."

"That's a bad news." Bad news? but why? Akala ko magiging excited siya after I announce that news pero hindi eh.

"But why?"

"Haha, no wala. That's nothing. T-Tara tikman na nating 'tong cookies oh? They're baked na." WEIRD.

"Okay." pinabayaan ko nalang siya. Siguro excited din siya deep inside, pero she's keeping it kasi baka asarin ko siya.

SHIN

He is going back? For what?! Bad timing! Baka lalo niya lang paguluhin ang lahat. Baka lalo lang lumalala ang sakit ng sinaktan niya five years ago.

"Bestfriend, labas lang ako ah?" I said to hanna.

"Why? Kainin muna natin tong cookies oh."

"Wait lang talaga bestfriend I swear. Babalik din ako agad."

"Okay. Sige."

Lumabas ako ng mansion para tawagan siya. Nag-aaalala kasi ako sa sa kanya. Baka mas lalong lumala ang sakit niya.

"Hello my dear cousin!" bakit ganyan siya umarte? she acted as if hindi siya nasasaktan.

"He will come back. SOON."

"I knew it last week pa. Hahaha! Oh, dont worry about me cousin. I'll be fine." she laughed while saying that to me.

"But our deal okay? Dont forget?" Yeah, our deal.

"O-Ofcourse. O-okay, see you son. I'll hang up. B-Bye." I hang up my phone and think about our deal.

SORRY BESTFRIEND. BUT I DONT HAVE ANY CHOICE. PLEASE FORGIVE ME SOON.
