Chapter 4

I answered all of her questions and she's still shock. Hindi siya makapaniwala na nagkagusto ako sa isang David Nolan.

And she still can't believe na magkakagusto ako sa isang David Nolan.

"Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwalang gusto mo siya." See she still can't believe. " Pero kailan? When did you start liking him?"

Kailan nga ba? I don't really know when. Pero I was just a highschool student ng magka crush ako sa kanya. Nakilala ko siya because of my brother. He was my playmate when i was a kid.

" I really don't know when basta naging crush ko siya. Pero hanggang crush ko nalang yun bukod sa wala akong balak umamin, meron na siyang girlfriend."

" Aww ok lang yan bal. "

We were at the mall as usual shopping.

Naglinis lang kame ng kamay. Nagpa foot spa. We also watch at movie. And after we watch movie we just buy some school stuffs. And we just buy clothes since wala pa yung uniform namin. Hindi pa kami nasusukatan.

Pagkatapos namin mamili ng kung ano ano. We went to a fastfood chain, kung saan kami nagkakilala. Jollibee.

"Mommy... mommy" I cry while calling my mom. Nandito ako sa tapat ng Jollibee kase gusto kong kumain. I was just 7 years old that time. "Mommy where are you?"

Biglang may isang batang babae pumunta sa harap ko.

"Why are you crying? Nawawala ka ba? Gusto mo hanapin natin si Mommy mo? She asked me softly.

" I can't see my mom. I think I get lost. I'm so hungry." I continue crying.

"You hungry? Let's eat. I'm with my Mom. "

That how our friendship started. After that I can't believe we're schoolmates. Masasabi ko lang yung friendship namin ay totoo. Hindi mapapantayan ng kahit sino ang pinagsamahan namin.

"Ano di ka pa rin maka move on kung paano tayo nagkakilala?"

"I'm thankful na nawala ako nun dahil kung hindi. Hindi tayo magkakilala. Hindi tayo magiging magkaibigan."

"No, kung hindi tayo nagkakilala dito. Maybe in other time, sa ibang lugar. If we meant to be friends gagawa at gagawa ng paraan ng tadhana para magkakilala tayo."

I hugged her.

"Ang swerte ko kaibigan kita."

"Diba nga.. Bestfriend forever."siya

"Infinity and beyond"ako

"Till death do us part." Sabay naming sabi.

"I love you Aria Serenity ko"

"I love you more Bella ko"

We went inside Jollibee.

"Bal?"

"Hmm?"

"The usual?"

"Yeah"

She used to call me bal short for kambal. Dahil napagkakamalan kaming kambal kapag magkasama kami.

Our order us the usual. She ordered jolly chicken, jolly hotdog pero hindi mawawala ang sundae at fries.

After we ate. We went home already since it's 8pm na.

"Mom I'm home."

"How's bonding with Bella?"

"As usual pareho kameng masaya."

"I'm gonna sleep na mommy. May class pa ko bukas. Good night. I love you Mom."

I went to my room, change my clothes at natulog na ko.

Nasa klase ako ng I-approach ako ni Carlo Perez my classmate.

"Hi, Aria!"

"H-hello." I awkwardly said. Hindi ako masyadong nakikipag usap sa mga lalaki except kay Dad at Kuya.

We're actually partners in our project. Kailangan namin na mapasa next week ang sample ng Business Proposal. 30% percent 'to kaya kailangan pagtuonan ng pansin.

"Lunch tayo?" He asked me.

"Why?" Wala namang mali kung magtatanong ako diba.

"Mag plan na tayo para sa future natin... just kidding we should plan kung paano natin sisimulan yung Presentation natin." Future natin. Nailang ako bigla sa kaniya.

"Uhmm ok"

Hindi ko alam sasabihin ko, since mamaya pa lunch ni Bella wala akong kasabay.

Naglakad kaming papuntang Cafeteria. We ordered same, Pasta. It's my favorite.

I thought our lunch will be awkward pero hindi, he's jolly, a gentleman and I'm gonna say that he's handsome.

Gumawa na kame ng outline for our presentation para hindi na masyadong mahirap. We're gonna do some research and make our presentation ang it's done.

"So uhmmm let's start editing this tommorow or the other day. I'm gonna do some research at magsusulat ako ng sagot sa mga possible questions."

Napagkasunduan naman namin. Kung alin ang part ko at ang part niya. After we talk about our presentation. We talk about ourselves.

"So why Aria Serenity?"

" My Mom loves music and Aria means melody connected siya sa music. And Serenity means peace, she told me that ako daw yung nagbigay ng kapayapaan sa kanila." I explained it.

"Oh your Mom must loves you so much"

"Yeah I'm gonna say that she really loves me... she really loves us. Ikaw bakit Carlo?

"Wala yun daw ang unang lumabas na pangalan sa bibig ni Mom after she gave birth to me."

We're both 19 years old. We talk a lot hindi namin napansin na malapit na yung next class namin.

"Uhm let's be friends?" he asked.

"Sure!" I answered loudly and he laughed at me.

I went home and to my surprise Daddy is here, I thought he's still on his business trip.

"Daddyyyy!" I screamed. "I miss youu"

"I miss you more, baby."Si Dad.

We went in a restaurant to have a dinner. I'm with my family, Kuya Silas is also here since his Military Service is next month.

The usual he asked me how my day went.. he also asked me how's my College experience went.

When we go home the usual, Dad was so very clingy. Si Kuya Stephen ang nagdadrive ng car ni Dad while kuya Silas is in the passenger seat and si Dad he's clinging onto Me and Mommy.

"Dad your so clingy. Para kang bata as ever."

" You're harsh on your dad, baby I hate you." He said while pouting. See napaka isip bata. Pero hindi ko napigilan matawa. Para talaga siyang bata.

" I love you too dad HAHAHAHAHA" I said while still laughing, pero biglang sumingit si Mommy.

" How about me naman baby, you don't love me anymore? You hurt me baby." She got teary eye

"Mommy naman, I always love you. You should always remember that I love you and you're the best. " She started crying.

Hala! May nasabi ba akong mali. She's crying. What did I do?

"Mommy why are you crying?" I'm worried. Iyakin si Mommy at nasasaktan ako kapag nakikita ko siyang umiyak.

"No, I just want to said I love you more" She said while she's still crying. I hug her and i kiss her on cheeks to calm her down.

"Hon pa'no naman ako wala ba kong I love you?"

"Baby how about Kuya naman?"

"Mommy you always said you love Aria pero samin di ka nag a-I love you."

See napapaligiran ako ng full of weirdo's. But I love them all. I can't live without my family.
