Have you had an imaginary friend when you were a kid? Do you believe that somehow they become real? If so, what if your imaginary friend wasn't really an imaginary but a ghost?

Hello there lovelies. I am here again struggling for the topic to write for today,lol. It's kinda stressful. However I wish you had a great and productive Thursday.

Anyway since today is Thursday, let's do a throwback Thursday. I will bring you all at my childhood day's.

Let's goooo......

As what I have said, I am the second child and the first Princess of the family. And after my father sent my older brother to our aunt, I only have my other younger brother with me. But since it's only us, we don't play that much anymore. He was kind of a boring playmate too, but of course I still love him😅. Our older brother has lot's of ideas , and he can definitely makes things so exciting and we can all have some fun, although at the end of the day we got some punishment 😂.

Since I don't have any playmate's in our neighborhood, after my older brother left, I started to play alone. When I was a kid we don't have much neighbors. We have some neighbors but their children's are mostly boy and so I cannot play with them.

One time, it was afternoon. I sneak out from my mom and I went to our backyard. I didn't use our main door to go out, as I went outside using our window😅. I was very clever, isn't it? Lol. So my mom didn't notice me, as she was having her afternoon nap in their room, she really thought that I am also sleeping and so she didn't mind to check on me.

I went to our backyard and starting to create some toys using mud. Yes I love playing mud back then😁. With my creativity, I make some kitchen utensils like bowls, frying pan and even doll mud. Then I would start imagining that I will cooked our food😁. While I was busy preparing my imaginary food in my imaginary kitchen, I was also talking to my doll. I am having a good conversation with them 😅. Sounds weird?😁

... I will cook our food now okay? I'm already hungry.

.. first I will cook your favourite dish..

...oh do you want some pancake? Just wait okay? I will finish this one and I will cook your pancake.

.. after we ate you wash the dishes okay? I already do the cooking and so you should be the one who wash the plate's.

As the days goes by, I enjoyed playing alone. I also enjoyed skipping from my mom lol. I'm sorry but I'm not really a good daughter back then. Until I got the idea to build my own home using banana leaves and some bamboo shoots.

This is exactly how my little home was made and exactly how it looks like. I am very much happy to have my own home back then😂🤣. I felt like I'm independent and I have already grown up🤣.

When my mom found out, she was very mad at me, specially that I built my little home in the vacant lot, a little distance from our home. That lot was actually owned by a very strict old woman, but she don't usually visit her land. I think she only go there one's a month just to visit her land and some of her plants like banana's, coconut trees, pineapples and cacaos tree's. She plants them, but since they don't really need so much attention and care she don't need to visit them often times.

Since my mom got mad and she already found about my home, I decided to transfer and rebuild my home in our own yard. Just a step away from our door.

I am enjoying my life in my own home. I really felt that I am free and very independent. I can do decorations, I can do cleaning and also still do some imaginary cooking and I also open my imaginary business, lol. My imaginary business was a mini sari sari store. Using guava leaves and different types of leaves are my imaginary items. I also use guava leaves as my imaginary money, lol. I know some of my fellow Filipino writer's can relate with this memory,😂. Anyway I mostly spend my time there alone, specially during weekends as I don't have school. I only go home if it's time to eat or if it's time to sleep.

One time, I had an unexpected visitor in my home. I don't know her and I don't know where she came from and I don't even notice her. She's not familiar to me, I haven't seen her in our neighborhood, and so I was very much surprised when I saw her. She's literally a stranger to me, but as a kid I don't mind even if she's a stranger.

She then smiled at me and asked me if she can join me in my home and do the cooking with me. I smiled. Without any second thought I welcome her to my home, even though I don't know her name.

I was very much excited and happy, as finally I already have a playmate. She also loves cooking and she also loves to decorate, actually she was very similar to me. She loves what I love and she likes what I like. She always come with me. We always have fun playing together and every day I always wait for her to come.

Then one time as I am playing with her my mom suddenly appeared in my home. She looked at me and she was annoyed as I am talking alone. She scolded me and asked me to stop talking as she found it weird. She says I looked like crazy.

However I told my mom that I am not alone. I said I am with my friend and I pointed my friend who's sitting next beside me, but my mom suddenly get mad. She hold my hand and forced me to go home, as for her, I am scaring her.

Starting that day she didn't allow me to play again outside. She broke my home and throw all my mud toys. As a kid I don't understand her and so I was very much upset to my mom. I cried so hard watching her throwing all the things that I have inside my home.

I forgot what happen to my friend that day. My mom didn't allow me to go out again and so I don't know where she go.

The next day, it was already night time and my family is already sleeping. My friend came. I was a little bit confused as she was inside our home. I didn't hear her came and I didn't hear my mom open our door and talk to anyone, so I was curious how she get inside and also it was already evening.

However I was still happy to see her. I smiled at her and ask her what she's doing to our house as it is already evening. I wonder how her mom allow her to go out. She didn't answer me, she then just ask me to go out and come with her to play.

Since it was already dark outside, I was hesitant to follow her. I am afraid with the dark and also that time we don't have electricity. We don't have neighbors and so outside is all darkness.

Eventually she convince me to go outside. I slowly opened our door as my family is already sleeping.

We started walking. I don't know where we were going but I just walk with her. We continue to walk, until we reach the middle of the vacant lot. I suddenly felt scared as the place is very dark, I was about to tell her that I wanted to go back home but when I turn I can't saw her anymore. She suddenly disappeared....

To be continued...

Remarks;

This experience of mine was a little bit scary and so I might finish my story tomorrow. But all I can say, I regretted that I'm being so hard headed back then. I regretted that I meet her...
