I LOVE YOU, PARE!

Prologue:

Chiearra Lopez, yes that's my name.
Arkin Felix Ybañez, my best friend's name.

We've been best friends for almost 11 years. Bata palang kami, malapit na talaga siya sa Diyos. Miracle baby kasi siya, When he was 3 yrs old, he had a heart surgery. Her mom was crying that time, 60/40 na lang kasi ang chance. 60 percent para mag failed ang operation at 40 percent naman para mag success. Tita Aya, her mom, she's my mom's best friend. My Mom told me that Tita Aya is singing Arkin's favorite song. Grabe daw talaga ang buhos ng mga luha ni Tita Aya, nagdadasal lang daw siya habang iniiyak ang lahat ng pain kay God. And yes, it was a successful operation. Arkin is 8 years old when he decided to be a sakristan. He's thankful na nagkaroon siya ng second chance para mabuhay. During our 4th grade, Arkin is always telling me that he wants to be a priest.

Nung nag highschool naman kami, nakilala niya si Kate. Tumagal din naman sila ng one year. Nakipag break si Arkin kay Kate. Bukod sa sobrang higpit ni Kate kay Arkin, sobrang selosa niya pa. Eto pa yung medyo nakaka disappoint kay Kate, miski ang pagse-serve ni Arkin sa church, pinagbabawalan niya pa.

College year namin non and he took the same course as mine. Bachelor of science in business administration major in operations management. Always kaming magkasama and always niya ako gusto na mainis.

But, one day. Nag decide na siya ituloy yung pagiging semenarista. Second semester na yun nung first year college kami, at bigla niyang sinabi kita kay Tita Aya na "Mommy, I want to be a priest." Tita Aya replied, "it's your decision, Arkin." Sobrang nalungkot ako nung mga time na yon, siyempre, nasanay na kasi ako na lagi kaming magkasama. Wala akong naggawa kasi wala ako sa tamang position para magsalita.
