Alien

"I don’t know why you even wanted to be friends with me. I am socially awkward. I don’t talk that much and I don’t go out often. I just want to stay at home, lay in my bed, read books and daydream. I prefer to spend my weekends and holidays inside my room instead of going out to shop or pig out. I stay away from the crowd because I don’t feel comfortable staying inside the circle. You won’t enjoy being with me because you can’t force me to go with you on night outs and adventures. I am a very boring person and I suck."

"Ayos lang sakin kung boring person ka, kikay naman ako kaya swak tayong dalawa." Nakangiting pinisil nyang malaman na pisngi ni Meran. Tinabig naman kaagad nitong kamay nyang malikot na ikinatawa nya ng malakas.

"I ain’t generous. I never asked anyone out because I don’t want to spend too much money. I’m not really the thrifty type of person but I easily regret on the amount of my money I spent especially when it comes to food. Yeah. That’s annoying, right? I don’t give gifts on birthdays, Christmas or New Year. I find it really hard to think of a gift so I rather not give one and greet you instead. I know, I know. You think I’m saving too much eh? But nah. I just don’t know how to buy gifts and stuff for my friends. For that, I suck again."

"Ayos lang din sakin yan, kasi ako ng manlilibre sayo palagi, kaya no worries okay! Saka ako lang kaya ang friend mo.. Echoserang 'to." Binato nya ng alien stuff toy sa mukha si Meran na gumanti naman ng sakal sa kanya.

"My sense of humor is always off the beat. I c***k jokes on the wrong time and gets serious at the best ones. I don’t get jokes that fast and you’ll just get annoyed repeating it for me. Sometimes, I am very insensitive too. I am trying to be funny to the point that I am not watching my word anymore. So instead of making you laugh, I might just bring you to tears. Oh God! I’m such a pain in the ass."

"Hahaha.. your so funny my bff Meran. Wag ka ng mag effort na matu turn off ako sayo! Kasi, hinding hindi po yan mangyayari, period with lock all over the box! Understood hmm?"

Mula ng maging bff sila nag promise na si Kimy sa kanyang sarili na hinding hindi masisira ang friendship nilang dalawa. Na walang dahilan na kung anuman ang makapagpahiwalay sa kanilang dalawa.

"I don’t even know how to comfort you when you’re down. I really find it hard comforting people, not even telling them that everything’s gonna be all right. I don’t know. There’s always that urge to hug them and whisper to their ear that I’m always here for them, but it would just end up to be me patting their backs and saying, “It’s okay.” Like wtf? Could that even help? No. I’m not a good comforter and I might just add fuel to the fire. I’m such a loser and you don’t deserve me."

Tumalim bigla ang pagkakatingin nya kay Meran. "Ikaw ba Meran eh gumagawa ng paraan para magkasira ang ating pagkakaibigan ha? Kung yun ang dahilan mo? pwes sinasabi ko na sayo na bff kita! Kapuso... Kapamilya... Bahagi kana ng pagkatao ko... Ng buhay ko. Kaya mananatili ako sa tabi mo na parang anino mong sunod ng sunod sayo."

Napapakamot na lang ng leeg si Meran. Totoo naman kasi ang mga sinasabi nya. Saka honest lang sya hindi lang sa kanyang sarili kundi pati na rin sa mga taong pinahahalagahan at malapit sa kanyang puso.

"Uhm.. I really don’t know why you even chose to befriend me. I am not like any of your friends who were cool and attractive. I am just that one person who passively interacts with everyone, with clumsy hands, baggy pants and an old plain shirt. Yeah. I don’t have any idea why you keep on being there for me, making me smile and making me feel like I do belong. I wanna press your head and pinch your nose and prick your cheeks. You stayed and you never left. Thanks anyway. At least right now, I know, I wouldn’t die alone. I love you bff, you crazy badass!"

Dinamba na lang syang bigla ni Meran at pinaghahalikan ang buo nyang mukha. Panay naman ang ilag nya dito. Hindi nya akalain na may nakatago palang kakulitan sa katawan ang alien na babaeng ito.

"So you want to be happy? Then stop letting the smallest things ruin your whole entire day. If you’re bored with your daily routine, do something unexpected. Stop complaining about how alone you are when you’re surrounded by people who actually care about you. Forget all the drama and let go of all the grudges you’ve been holding. Stop wasting time lingering over all that you could have, should have and would have done. Stop spending your days thinking of how much better you could do; stop longing for something that has been and always will be out of your reach. Just live the days as they come. Wake up every morning and smile at the wonderful day that awaits you. Take a risk for once. Let yourself be happy, because you deserve it."

"Yess... Tama ka dyan bff, kaya dito ako ngayon matutulog." Napapalakpak pang sabi ni Meran.

"Sure ba yan o echos lang?"

"Sure na sure na! Tekaa... May pagkain kaba dito kasi kanina pa nangangagat mga alaga ko sa tiyan."

Napaismid sya ng marinig ang salitang pagkain. "Ayan kasi, puro ka chichiria, di naman yun healthy sa katawan, alam mo yan hmp."

"Alam.ko, pero la naman akong choice kasi yun lang ang kasya sa budget ko." Tila nahihiya namang sabi ni Meran.

Napapailing na sumigaw si kimy para marinig sya ni Nana Yna na nasa kusina at nagluluto ng hapunan. "Nana! Luto na po bang dinner? gutom na daw po si Meran!"

"Hoy! Leche ka! Nakakahiya naman kay Nana Yna." Tinampal pa sya ni Meran sa braso.

"Sus, sanay na yun sa mga bulate mo sa tiyan kaya wag ka ng mahiya."

"Parine na kayong dalawa dito at nakahain ng pagkain nyo."

Napasugod silang dalawa sa kusina ng marinig ang tawag ni Nana Yna sa kanila.

"Oh, dahan dahan lang subo nyong dalawa ha! Di kayo mauubusan nyan." Saway pa sa kanila ni Nana Yna ng sunod sunod ang pagsubo nilang dalawa.

"Thank you po Nana.. napakasarap nyo po talaga magluto"

"Kuu.. Eh dalasan mong punta dito iha para may kasalo sa pagkain yang si bebe Kimy at ng hindi puro computer lang ang inaatupag."

Nagkatinginan naman silang dalawa at sabay na napangiti ng tumalikod si Nana Yna para ikuha sila ng dessert.

"Sinong ini e stalk mo sa social media, yung kupal mong ex?"

"Uy! Hindi ah! Nagti t****k lang ako nuh!" Umiwas sya sa mapanuring mga titig ni Meran.

"Sus, t****k ka dyan.. Talanding 'to, sakalin kita dyan eh"

Natatawang niyakap nyang kaibigan.. "Mag boypren kana kaya para sumaya naman yang buhay mo."

"Tse! Masaya ng buhay ko, kahit walang boyfriend. Bad influence ka sakin... Hmp, makatulog na nga may pasok pa bukas."

"Meran! Kakakain mo pa lang, dipa nga yata natutunaw yung nilafang mo eh.. Hihilata kana kaagad."

"Tunaw ng kinain ko nuh! Sa dami ng mga bulate ko, for sure la ng natira."

Nasundan na lang nya ng tingin ang kaibigan na may bitbit ng libro mula sa bookshelf na nadaanan nito pagkalabas ng kusina.

’Naging makulay at lalong naging masaya ang buhay ko mula ng maging kaibigan kita Meran! Maraming salamat bff, for life.'
