Chapter 5: Kabanata 4
Come Monday! Hiyang-hiya pa rin ako kaka-isip nung blunder ko last Saturday!
After I decided to fix myself up for the morning. Bumaba na ako para harapin ang aking mga kaibigan.
"Quelly, what do you want to eat?" tanong ni Alfred. By these time I'm more stoic and medyo nag-ngingitngit ako sa inis.
Madali naman sa akin na mag-adapt no matter what the situation as long as I have calmed myself.
"I like pancakes," sagot ko. Nararamdaman ko ang ngisi ni Ryn Do kahit hindi ko siya tignan.
For all I know, she's been shipping us already.
'Alfred + Quelly= Ally' For sure.
I closed my eyes momentarily. I sat down on my usual chair and ate my pancakes.
I noticed there was also a mug of hot choco with rainbow colored mallows.
"Is this mine?" I asked.
Alfred sitting across me answered, "Oo, that's yours."
Amazed and giddy, I took a sip.
I heard Ryn Do laugh quietly, and followed by Alfred's boisterous laugh.
Dun na ako namula and told him, "Baka!"
I cussed in Japanese. That made my friends laugh more and harder.
As the day went by, they hang out with me, and even proposed to stay the night.
But, it was only the Alfredo chicken who suggested that.
"Alfred Beet, mahiya ka naman, hindi pa kayo officially and even if you are, wala ka karapatan matulog dito kayla Quelly."
I so love Ryn Do when she lectures him like these. I feel protected by a 'mom friend.'
And so yun ang nangyari.
Grabe talaga one of my precious memories to look at when I'm older. Little did I know, it was one of my nicest memories of Alfred Beet.
I just couldn't believe I agreed to date him, love him and fall for him more than a friend.
Hindi ko sinasadya na masaktan ko siya dahil lang mas pinapahalagahan ko ang pagkakaibigan namin higit pa sa pag-ibig na nabuo namin.
I kinda regret letting him go, as my lover, yet I'm thankful we happened. Our friendship became stronger and unchanged by the times.
I needed him and he loved me more.
I will always take care of him and he will always support me. Without him, I could never believe myself and try to be risky when needed. He is my strength. He was there when I doubted myself. It's just, I feel guilty that I wasn't really there for him when we grew apart after highschool. I secluded myself from the world. Sometimes, I think I never deserved my friends.
Yet, they proved me wrong. To them, I'm their Sun and Moon. We struggle and fight together.
I just hope even though, I get really far away for my career, I will never forget them.
Forgetting a strong bonded friendship is really hard to forget. I love them everyday and would sacrifice my happiness.
Author's first note:
Hey guys!!! It's me SleepingDreamer.
You can call me Sleepy or Dreamy.
I have longed thought about this story of mine for the past years of creating stories.
I was really against to continue starting this story just because I have other ongoings.
Those stories are not here. But on another platform. I can't tell you yet about those stories 'cause I'm not confident enough to share them. Maybe someday. Hehe!
Anyway, I'm very thankful for you guys that have read or starting to read, "Eternal Infatuation."
Still couldn't believe that many will read it.
I am never a professional writer. But, I really love storytelling and of course writing.
My imagination lives in my stories.
And before I end my author's note, I just want to say that updates are every other day.
No specific time. If ever there's no new part of this story, I might be busy or am travelling somewhere. Most likely, that rarely happens.
But for now, I hope you wait for my updates.
Thanks again and you guys rock!!!
I love you for reading my work!!! 😍
