Best Friend

Friends come and go. They will come into your life unexpectedly and you will just click.

When I was in grade 5, may bago kaming classmate, transferee. We fondly call him Kuya Eddie, obviously kasi mas senior siya sa amin.

During our language subject, Ms Valencia, our teacher told us, "Ok class, who is your best friend in this room? Write something about him/her."

Then our teacher called our Kuya Eddie asking him who is your bestfriend.  He stood up and said a name na wala naman ganun name sa room namin. Ms. Valencia asked us ok who is she please stand up, nobody standing up. 

Then she's wondering bakit walang tumatayo, sabi na lang ng teacher namin ituro mo na lang kung sino siya.  All of the sudden lahat ng classmate namin nakatingin sa akin, because Kuya Eddie was pointing his finger at me!!!! 

Ako pala un best friend niya, mali naman kasi un name ko and surname.  I could feel the my face heating up, nahihiya ako kasi lahat ng mga classmate namin and my teacher was laughing, eventually I found myself laughing na din.  I appreciate what he wrote about me, kahit mali ang name ko

Who could tell na this is a start of a beautiful friendship?  We've been best friends ever since.  We lost contact after graduating from high school, but thanks to social media we have reconnected recently.
