An Open Letter to My Old Bestfriends

It's been a while since the last time I published an article, it is because I had a problem that's why my brain isn't functioning well these past few days and seems like my will is out for a vacation but I'm back on my track now. I just took a rest for 5 days because my mind deserves some rest too after thinking a lot of things hehe.

This article would be my open letter to all my closest friends back then. Hope you'll enjoy reading this.

To my bestfriend from grade one, hi Deseree, I can still remember your whole name but I would prefer calling your first name here only. I can still remember how you comforted me every start of our afternoon class because I just can't hold back my tears everytime I see my mother saying goodbye to me from outside of our classroom because she had to go home. I can still remember how you shared your crayons to me whenever we had an art project for Ma'am. Donna, our adviser. We're seated in first row, right in front of our chalk board. Can you still remember that there is one time when most of us in classroom had a scatch tape on our mouth because we were all loud and noisy? You were my first ever friend that I brought to our house just to have our meryenda there. I can still remember your face, your bangs and your eyes that has a natural eye liner. Probably, you can't remember as of now because that was 15 years ago and you've already met a lot of people in your life, but that's okay. What really matters for me is that you really became a very good friend for me and I really thanks you for that. Thank you for being there with me during my iyak moment at school. Where ever you are right now, I hope you're safe, healthy and most importantly happy.

To my grade four bestfriends, hello Mika, Ericka and Jolina 😊. I really had fun being with the three of you. To be honest, I sometimes felt jelous with your things like your pencil case that has a second floor, your erasers that has smell like a fruits, your ballpens that has a lot of colors and your hair ties that has different colors and styles everyday. But even though you have all of these y'all never treated me like I'm others. Instead, you shared them to me each day and I feel very swerte that time for having a friends like the three of you. I'm sorry if I didn't even say goodbye to all of you when we moved to Caloocan City and had to transfer to another school. I think all of you were surprised of my sudden leaving, I didn't had the chance to say goodbye to all of you as well because my parents told me to not attend our class anymore since I'm about to leaves na rin. However, the last time I checked your social media accounts, I saw how pretty the 3 of you, I just don't know if you were all still have a communication to each other. Thank you for sharing me your rich kid abubots in school, even though I only had a short period of time with you, still grateful for all the happy moments with all of you, hope you are all in a good conditions right now, keep safe and happy.

To my grade four bestfriend Alondra, I can still remember how cold and scared I am during my first day at your school. I was assigned to seat at the back row with a girl who's very talkative. You were seated in my front and the first thing you asked me the moment I placed my bag at my chair was "Where school did you came from?" and I answered with "Nagkaisang Nayon" and we both smiled to each other, and that was the start of our friendship. We became bestfriends, when you started to share me your crush at our school, you also shared me your experiences with your first ever monthly period, I was so scared that time because you were also telling me how hurt it is. You were also helping me in assisting our classmates whenever I was assigned to be the seller of the soup or the tray from canteen. All the happy moments with you are indeed unforgetable.

But when we turned grade 5, that was the year where I saw your weakest part... That is when your father died because of Leukemia. I was so worried for you because you were absent for almost 2 weeks, and the time when you came back I saw how sad you are by just staring at your eyes. You shared to me all the happenings before and after your father's death. I almost cried to your situation that time and what makes me sad even more was when you told me that you and your whole family are going back to Samar since there's no one who will support you here in Manila anymore because your father has already gone. But then, I am so happy seeing you again as my classmate when we turned grade 6, our last year in elementary. As I remember, our graduation day was also the day when we last saw each other. But until now, we sometimes talk through messenger application. You have a son already and I'm so happy for you, your son inherited your eyes, nose and lips. I'm so happy for what you have right now, I wish you all the best for yourself, son and your whole family. I hope we can meet someday. Stay safe and healthy Alondra ♡.

To Deseree, Mika, Ericka, Jolina and Alondra. Thank you for making me a happy kiddo back then, thank you for all the memories, you are all the best! I will never forget all of you, love yah!

- Your Introvert friend.
