Just a Best Friend By: Roann Fatima Sayud


Just a Best Friend

            Radusky and Rephia are best of friends .They are so close to each other. For Radusky, Rephia is just her younger sister who he can bond with. But for Rephia, Radusky is more than just a friend. She loves Radusky, he is her first love. She never wanted any man in her life except her best friend, Radusky. Though she loves her bestfriend, she never tried to confess her love to him because she’s afraid that he might loss him.

          Until one day she found out the fact that she might loss Radusky in her life. Radusky asked her, if Persia has a boyfriend. Persia is one her close friend. She thought that maybe her bestfriend will court Persia. She was so jealous at that time, that she even hated, Radusky for not noticing her love to him. Of course what could she expect, she is just a best friend to Radusky.

          It was their midterm examination when she saw Radusky at the back of their lecture room. Radusky was kneeling towards Persia while holding a rose with a diamond ring. She saw everything. Jealousy, hate and loneliness embodied her. She was so hurt. Deep inside in her mind, she blamed herself for loving her best friend for a long time. Her love for Radusky is the only thing that she had. She thought it’s time to give her heart a rest. She was out on her mind. She took the midterm examination and on the back of her midterm bluebook, she wrote a poem for Radusky. It was somewhat like a final message because after having the examination, Rephia died because of the accident in bridge near in their school.

          Radusky find out about the accident and he was so shocked when he received a message that Rephia died on that certain accident. One of his friend, give him the midterm bluebook of Rephia. While reading the bluebook his tears run in his face.




Best friend;
Well I always call you
By the first letter
Of your second name,
The first time we met
I was so ashamed

We’re on the covered walk
We have some talk
With your cousin, me and you
But suddenly you told me
“Oh your skirt is so short, you know”

But you were just a cognizance to mine
I just know your name and that’s fine
Suddenly I accidentally brought your book
And that was the day my heart was hooked

Day by day I always see you
One time I heard you singing
A song that I don’t know
I was there sitting at the back of you
Your voice is taking me out of the blue

Yes finally, I became you’re your best friend
We’ve been together since then
You became my companion
And I am your chaperone

So I always asked you for scratch papers
You know I will keep those pieces forever
Though your papers were full of equations and numbers
I’m still dreaming that one day,
It will turn into love letters

Since I admitted to myself that I admired you
Things were not going the same,
I don’t know
Now, I can’t even dare by just simply looking at you
My heart is melting and it’s true

This poem is now done
This is the only way, where I can stand
Because I can’t say this feeling that I feel for you
This is the only way to say
“Radusky, I LOVE YOU”

        Radusky was so sad. He cannot accept the fact that her best friend was already dead. He went to the bridge to see her best friend’s dead body. When he crossed the street, he was hit by a tuck van. The ring and the rose that he brought were both painted with his blood. Regrets were in his eyes as he closed them. He was supposed to give the ring and the rose to her best friend, to confess his love. He doesn’t have the courage to do such thing so he asked Persia to help him on how he will court Rephia. Maybe he could confess his love to Rephia in heaven.

Book of Destruction By Louie Johnson Bastasa

Book of Destruction (By: Louie Johnson Bastasa) “After all, I really want to forget the happenings of the past. Every time I remember it, I can’t get rid of being afraid and cry. I am Toni. Right now, I am forewarning you upon reading my story for it contains horrible experiences that you never thought is happening and is existing in real life. Now, it is all up to you if you will believe my story or not but, in our place, many would attest it as real because even them, had witnessed this stage of my life.”           “I am a being dubbed by many as a person with a soul being burned in hell. Yes, I confess I am a bad person. I am one of the creepy members of a gang, and swindling and stealing are my means of living. I currently have a boyfriend named Louie, a gun-for-hire man and is one of the members of a car napping syndicate. It can be judged that we are living wickedly. But I really don’t have a choice because that is the only...
