They say that tahanan is just a place of residence...but for me tahanan is where my precious memories are made
___________________________________
The train rumbles as it moves miles and miles through the metal tracks. Moving as it passes sa pamamagitan ng beautiful sceneries; fading buildings,frozen mountains,greeneries and the like as the many passengers are seated inside. Some were talking with their seatmates,some were taking a nap,and some were enjoying peaceful solitude as they read a book,look and appreciate the beautiful pastures,and listen to their own music through their earphones...I was one of them. Sitting susunod to the train window,i sight-see the moving scenes as they pass sa pamamagitan ng like a blur,reminding me of how Time is;constantly moving forward,leaving us behind unless we catch up and ilipat with the flow. Sometimes I hate it and sometimes i pag-ibig it....but that’s just how it goes.
As I thought about this,the music on my phone changed to a slow,peaceful piano tune. I smile as it came,it reminded me of when my friend-no,my best friend and I were having a sleep-over at my house-errr,former house. We were jamming on some energetic music blaring on some speakers whilst we were laughing,jumping up and down on my bed,my mom knocking the stick of a walis downstairs and raising her voice,telling us to keep it down.
“Girls!! Keep it down up there!! The neighbours are complaining!” an old mare sinabi knocking her broomstick once again,above her.
Laughter was heard inside the room “Mom! How can we keep it down when we’re up here!” madami Laughter.
“Redd!! Lower the volume or the sleep-over’s off!!”
“Okay,okay...i’ll get it!” a young red headed filly sinabi as she jumped down on the kama to turn down the volume,but as she did so,the music changed into a piano tune,making her companion laugh at her.
“Wow,i didn’t know you like those kind of stuff! Booriing...”
“No it’s not!”
“It’s too!”
“It’s not!”
“It’s too!”
“It’s-“
“Redd!! Turn down the music this instant!!”
“Yes,mom!” ...then the filly rushed to the speakers as the other one kept giggling.
I myself giggled at the memory,as I spot some cottages and a waiting station in the distance. I was back here again. At the place where I was born,the place I left all those years nakaraan in pursuit of my future. The place most precious to me...in madami ways than you can imagine. As the train stopped with a sound similar to a geiser spouting its waters,the ponies inside scrambled for their luggage then,like a shepherd letting the tupa out of the pen,the passengers pushed each other to the exit. I saw that there were still madami than half of the initial ponies left despite the rush that happened just a few segundos ago,which is not surprising,given that the place was just a quaint little town. The other ponies were probably here to visit their loved ones or relax for a bit since it IS the weekend and I can understand why they would go here,i mean while it is just a small town,it can already provide a peaceful environment for them to get their needed rest and relaxation. Although it is possible that they're also here for the same reason as me...
Getting my own bags myself-I packed lightly since there's no doubt some of my old stuff were still back at my parents' house-I stepped out into the platform,the train,once again continuing its journey as it left some dissipating clouds of gray smoke behind. Once the smoke's completely cleared,i inhaled the refreshing air as i started my walk to my friend's house,my saddlebags swinging a bit as a galloped through town. As i went on my journey,some ponies waved,nodded and smiled sympathetically at me...and of course,i answered back. sa pamamagitan ng then i had passed through the first lines of cottages and was just outside the playground. Familiar figures suddenly appeared as i glanced at the area of slides,swings,see-saws and the like where children were playing.
A red headed filly was giggling while she pushed the ugoy where her green-haired friend was. "Go! Go!" the earthpony riding the ugoy yelled as she laughed,one of her forehooves raised like how 'superstallion' would when flying.
"My turn,My turn!" The other filly whined as she stopped pushing
"Heeeeh? Just a bit more..."
"Noooo,Trooopic,i've been pushing the ugoy for like-a gajillion minutos now!!"
"No,it hasn't! It's only been 7 minutes."
The redhead pouted "...Egghead."
Her friend only showed her tongue as she replied "...Fine,whatever! Just get over here already!"
I smiled as nostalgia came over me. This was where she and I would play everyday after classes ended,we would laugh as we played and played to our hearts' content until our parents yelled at us to do our homework,and even then we were still smiling. We we're such the best of friends,it's like we were sisters. She would know my quirks,my likes and my dislikes,and i would know hers' too. We knew how to make each other happy,how to provide comfort whenever one of us was feeling down,and how to make the other spit it out whenever one had a secret to hide. It's like we are transparent to each other,already knowing whenever someone has a problem, a secret,or whether one was slightly happier than usual despite ponies seeing otherwise. She was a wonderful friend and that's one of the reason why i'm back here.
With that in mind,i continued my walk to my friend's houses,seeing the school where we studied together in the distance. The figures returned with bags over their shoulders, rushing past me as they raced each other to school,the kampanilya starting it's countdown.
"C'mon! Hurry up Redd!! We're gonna be late!" The green haired filly yelled,struggling to keep her bag from falling
"I can see that! No need to remind me,Tropic!" The redhead answered back
"Geez,it's because you overslept!" The kampanilya sounds it's last toll. "-and now we're both gonna be in trouble!"
"If you're so concerned about that,you could have left without me!" The unicorn shouted as her friend pouted.
"That's because we promised each other to go to and from school together everyday!"
The redhead rolled her eyes "I wouldn't mind you leaving me behind if that means you won't get in trouble,stupid!"
"Arg! Lets just get inside!"
Hehe...despite saying that,in truth i actually didn't want you to leave me behind,i wanted us to stay sa pamamagitan ng each other's side always,and yet...I was the one that left you behind. All for that stupid ambition that didn't came to be...or perhaps you could say that it didn't go the way I expected. I'm gonna be an animator for an awesome cartoon someday! I'll gonna make children happy like how we loved them when we were kids. It will be my piece of art!- i said...but instead,i became a regular ol' teacher at some school...and it's not even some kind of Prestigious Fine Arts School or something like that...just...school,but at least i managed to talk my way into having the 'Art Teacher' role,even if it's just teaching them children geometric shapes and how to do Macaroni Art. I rolled my eyes at the memory of my students attempting to stick the macaronis in their noses. Well,it's not so bad i guess...even if they rejected my cartoon idea and got this job to teach some pretty annoying children,it's still somewhat rewarding.
Seeing them actually getting it right and creating some decent works,having fun at what they are doing...oh! and when it's Teacher's araw when they make some strange but cute little cards with messages inside. Those times made me really happy...but if i have been ibingiay a chance at pursuing my initial ambition, then i'll do my best to make it happen! -and if not,then i just hope that my child will like art as much as I do-if i actually manage to get a husband. Getting ahead of myself,aren't I? Hehe...reminds me of that time when i was heartbroken over some stupid stallion in Highschool,my best friend was there to comfort me...like she always does. Speaking of which...I was about to pass the burol where that oak puno was. Our special place, a place we would go to seek comfort whenever we had problems,looking out at the great view of the stars and the sea of lights below,even if it's morning it's still a great place to be,the breeze was refreshing and the view of the town and beyond is great.
Sobbing was heard coming from a red haired young mare crouched on the burol overlooking Ponyville. Her hair was messed up and her balahibo was wet from overflowing tears that fell from her puffy red eyes,a direct contrast to the beautiful sunny araw that the Pegasi made on this particular day. The breeze that passed made the leaves create a rustling sound as some of them fell and caressed her cheeks as if telling her to stop crying and that it was all okay. Although,as assuring it was for the mare to think that an inanimate thing such as a puno could comfort her,it was just not enough. She wanted someone to actually talk to,to spill out all of her problems while that other parang buriko shared words of comfort and encouragement...but she knew there was nopony else that she could share all these words with...and she's probably disappointed in her right now.Yeah,there was her parents but the last thing she needed was them telling her that she was stupid in choosing a stallion and that they should choose for her. No,she wanted her best friend,but she knew full well that she owed her some words of her own...particularly an apology and a speech on how she was blind this whole time.
Suddenly,amidst her private pity party,sounds of hoofsteps on damo could be heard approaching. Redd didn't even try ilipat her head to see who this parang buriko was,she was honestly just tired of all this...until she heard the other parang buriko speak,and it was a voice she knew all too well.
"Hey." She said. Redd suddenly froze,then she slowly looked up to see the parang buriko she had been meaning to see and avoid at the same time.
"H-hey..." Her own voice cracked from all the sobbing. The parang buriko just stood there staring unemotionally,which was uncomfortable since it just made her even madami guilty for denying her own best friend's words earlier this month. Her gaze fell downwards,and the hoofsteps continued once again...approaching. Until suddenly there was a soft thump sound and Redd looked at the source,seeing Tropic laying beside her,smiling at her sympathetically and at this action,Redd's tears fell from her eyes once again as she tackled her best friend in a hug,making her balahibo wet from the contact.
"Its okay...that parang buriko was a jerk anyway. He didn't deserve someone as great and awesome as you are." Tropic said,rubbing her friend's back in comfort.
"I-Im sorry,Tropic! I should have listened to you when you sinabi he was a two-timing douche! I-I was so STUPID for thinking he was the one..." madami sobbing.
"...Yeah,you kinda were. But he was stupid himself for letting somepony like you go. You're one in a million! and if he won't have you then others madami worthy than that guy will,just wait!"
"...Thank you."
"Don't mention it. That's what best mga kaibigan are for,right?"
The red haired mare just nodded with a small smile as she rubbed the tears out of her eyes.
I stared at the puno for a bit madami until my hooves started moving on it's own. This was not the first time it has happened on my days revisiting this place,just that today,the flashbacks are madami vivid and often. As,i once again continued my journey to my best friend's house somewhere at the end of town,a voice called out to me. I turned around to see who that parang buriko was and i saw a familiar face greet me.

Notes:
uy there,so after pagbaba some novels my aunt bought me and some stories on the internet,I figured i should start Pagsulat some actual stuff again...so,yeah. I'm a bit rusty but i hope it's still good enough. I'm trying hard to put myself into the character so that i could write some adequate descriptions...and so i set to listen to some piano because...that's how i do descriptions for this. Anyways,as some of you might know,i just used the names of two very minor characters i introduced in Eye of Anubis RP since it'd be a waste to just not use them and it's better than creating new OC's.
