Forever I'll Be Yours

The Friendship

You really can't say No to a friend that needs you. 

Edward's POV

I can't get her out of mind.

After what happened yesterday di siya mawala sa isip ko. Whenever I think of something, that eyes of hers came out of my mind. The eyes which I really want to stare today. That face which I really want to touch the whole time and would never get tired of it. That whole hers that I really wanted to be with. Right now.

Nasa bahay ako at day-off ko ngayon kaya nagyaya ako ng inuman sa kanila kagabi because it's my day-off today. Okay lang na di maagang gumising. Past four na ng nakauwi kagabi. Boys talk should always be settle for a 2 or 3 hour talking. Marami ang pinag-usapan. Di kompleto kagabi, wala si Zu. May nilalakad daw.

Roy was right, Zu has other girlfriend ng naging sila pa ni Kim. After hearing that, I don't know what to react like I want to punch him or even tell him that he is breaking an innocent girl's heart or even let him know that you can break other girls heart but not her.

Not her?

OMG! Edward, sisirain mo pagkakaibigan niyo dahil lang sa isang babae? Would you let that happen?

And he remembered the promise they made years ago.

So kahit anong gawin ko, di pa rin siya magiging akin. It's really funny how fate works. Yung tipong kailan ka in love saka naman di pwede. Tumawa siya sa naisip. Am I in love?

Definitely not. Definitely yes.

Ibinagsak niya ang katawan sa malambot na kama at napatitig sa kisame. Saglit rin siyang nakatulala sa kawalan ng nag ring ang kanyang phone. It's Zu calling.

"Hello Zu?" 

----- (Next Scene)-----

Nakatitig sa akin, may hawak na phone sa isang kamay, seryoso ang mukha at umiinom ng isang bote ng beer. Ganito ko nadatnan si Zu ngayon sa isang kinainan malapit sa kanyang apartment. Wala siya kahapon ng nagyaya ako ng inuman. Roy told me he has appointment at di rin makontak ang phone niya.

Kaya di ko ineexpect ang pagtawag niya kanina. "So what do you want to ask?" I asked him.

He opened his phone. "Wait, may ipapakita ako sa iyo." 

I waited him tapos may pinakita nga siya. Picture ni Kim. At first, nagulat ako dahil sa pinakita niya but ano ba nag nakakapagtaka, she was once her ex. Of course, he keeps a lot of picture of her. 

Nakakatawa ngang isipin na ang rami nilang picture together. 

No! Don't tell me, Zu is really in love with her?

"She's my ex" simula niya.

Tumango ako, ininum ang isang juice na inorder ko. "Yeah, I met her last night"

Alam kong nagulat siya dahil sa reaction sa kanyang mukha. "Really, so you met her already, she's Kim" pakilala niya rito while still sliding some pictures of her in his gallery.

Tumango ako ulit. "Yeah I knew the name" ano ba gusto niya? 

Did he just call me because he wanted me to know about his ex-girlfriend? Alam ko na and I don't wanna hear anything about them two.

Stop it.

"I still want her" napamaang ako sa sinabi niya. 

What did he just say? He still wants her?

I was not shock because he still wanted her but because of the idea that Zu isn't that kind of guy. Once his trash is always and will still be his trash. He is known for being a playboy- in short, worst case than me.

"So?" I raised my left eyebrow. What does he really want?

"Help me" na nakatitig sa akin seriously.

"Wait, what is with the changed of mind Bru? I mean I know you, you dumped girls but I've never heard you saying that you still wanted them." Nagulat talaga ako sa sinabi niya. He wanted me to help her? In what way?

Tumawa siya at umiling. "You don't know Kim well Bru, she's a worth of a girlfriend, besides she is indeed pretty right?"

Yeah very much and I also want her.

"Okay lang." I lied. Kim isn't pretty she is gorgeous for me. "So how can I help you?"

Humugot siya ng isang malalim na hinginga. At alam ko na na di ko gusto ang sasabihin niya. "I want you to court her best friend para makausap ko siya ulit and maybe magkabalikan kami."

"What?" I shouted. Nasisiraan na ba siya? He wanted me to court Liz for his own good? Gagamit ako ng isang babae para makuha niya ulit si Kim at best friend niya pa. "No, I can't Bru."

I find Liz and Kim different to any other girls. Di sila yung pabaya sa sarili and I witnessed that one last night. Palagi akong nakatitig sa mesa nila kahapon and I found out na hindi sila yung pareho sa ibang babae na kapag may lumalapit na mga lalaki ay agad nalang sasama. 

And that made me amazed. May natitira pa palang matinong babae sa mundo.

"Bru," pakiusap niya. "You will just court her and I know what you're thinking right now like you will use her, we will just use her and it isn't. Just court her. That's it. Di mo naman ipipilit ang sarili mo sa kanya." Maliwang na explenasyon niya sa akin. 

"Please Bru, for me"

What to do?
