Different memories of different people
A/N:Some of you might get confused on who's point of view is it. So I put the name of the character at the bottom right of every update.
Book One: Summer Tales and Promises
Less than 10 years ago, I got a special present that I thought will last forever.
Until the day, that we have to go in different paths and forget everything we had in our past.
Even at the age of 5, I was a house girl, it’s not that I'm not allowed to go outside the house, but there was this fear of mine in talking with other people, until the day I met Celina...
Celina was a girl next door... It was kind a strange, how both of us met. My nanny was outside the gate waiting for a delivery truck and Celina was playing with a ball, trying to kick it as hard as she can, when she accidently kicked it too hard and went overboard in our house, my nanny let her in to look for her toy, which she did and found me as well while holding her ball. We looked at each other, the angels silence had come in our ambience, until she breaks it with a sweet smile and says;
“
Hi! I’m Celina, what’s your name?”
From that day forward Celina and I became good friends.
There were those times when, she’d asked me to come over to their house to play dolls with her, or she’ll be the one to come over, carrying a box loaded with dolls and dress up materials. Though we can only do those things during summer vacation, during school days she often calls me to help her with assignments, sometimes she will write a letter to me and then drop it on the post mail that we locked a few summer years ago, that old mail box was our little secret, every day before she go to school, she’ll drop a letter telling me everything that happen to her after her school, and before I went home , I stopped by to pick up her letter and drop another as a reply for her first letter.
Our bond get stronger in each passing day, even we seldom see each other during school days, it was so impossible for us not to have a piece of each other’s life. Celina was indeed my first best friend.
Before I turned 7, I met two of her cousins, Xiel and Riel, they were twins - fraternal twins to be exact, having the same haircut it was hard to tell, who’s who, especially when both of them are wearing the same thing, they do have a lot of common things, but there were also some stuffs that separate them from being twins. Xiel likes puppies while his sister likes kitties, if Riel likes confectionary sweets, her brother would only eat one if the sweets would include tropical fruits. Celina loves both of them, and as days goes by, I was starting to like them as well, thou I was having difficulties with Riel, having this feeling that she dislikes me for no particular reason.
On the other hand, I’m fine hanging out with Xiel; his quietness makes me comfortable and secured. I have asthma, so when the game is all about running around Celina’s playground , I’ll sit on the swing to rest for a while and then Xiel would stop from playing and sit beside me on the other swing, and asked;
“
Are you okay?”
I really love hanging around with the three of them, that’s why, when Riel had to go abroad due to the petition of their father it really sadden me . I know that I’m not in good terms with her, but...she is my friend. If you’re wondering why Xiel, is not included with the trip... well... that’s another story.
Anyways those days of child play were really fun, until the day he took my heart and put a promise on one summer midnight.
