  &quot;Damn, you look so beautiful, Aly,&quot; I whispered as she approaches my position.
  &quot;Why are you looking at me like that, El?&quot; she asked, uncomfortable.
  &quot;I said you look so beautiful,&quot; I stated and look at the make-up artists. &quot;She&quot;s beautiful, isn&quot;t it?&quot; I asked and they nodded spontaneously as they looked at Aly. I turned my gaze back to Aly and smiled at her. &quot;You&quot;re uncomfortable right?&quot; I asked and she nodded. &quot;Why are you? You have nothing to be ashamed of because you are beautiful, Aly. You will look better if you are confident so forget about your shyness for a while,&quot; I stated. I want to laugh at what I said because I&quot;m not sure if I&quot;ll also be confident enough when I&quot;m wearing a gown.
  &quot;Oh, I&quot;ve heard that word from you, El? Let's see if you can also stand up straight when you 

  I don't know why it came to my mind even though I was aware that it was impossible to happen. Even if Baki invited Jas to come to the party, I knew he wouldn&quot;t come so I forced myself to erase the things that were going through my mind. Maybe I just missed him so he suddenly entered my mind. We last met when he came to my apartment before the tournament started and we didn't get along well. I regret that I acted that way and I don't know how he felt because of how I treated him.
  I&quot;m always waiting for his text and call, but my wait came to nothing. Maybe he was waiting for me to text or call him, but I was afraid to try to talk to him because I didn&quot;t know how to explain to him what bothered me that day. There is a right time for me to explain everything and I will have the courage to hear what his response will be when I have told the truth.
  Soon the service that Al

  Aly and I sat in front of her parents as they stared straight at me. I don&quot;t know who I&quot;m going to look at in the two of them and still can&quot;t lose the awkwardness I feel because of the expression they show. They were sitting straight as we were enveloped in silence not until Aly&quot;s dad cleared his throat and asked me.
  "So you're my daughter's best friend?" he asked and I nodded as a response. I gulped and think what would I say, but nothing comes to my mind. I&quot;m thankful that her mom saved me from being speechless, she asks me while smiling which causes me to gulp again. Her mom is too gorgeous at her age and it&quot;s also has a brave and powerful face.
  &quot;We&quot;re glad that we meet you, El. Thank you for coming here,&quot; she stated.
  I bowed with a respect to her before I response, &quot;I&quot;m also glad that I met my best friend&quot;s parents. 

&quot;Damn, you look so beautiful, Aly,&quot; I whispered as she approaches my position.
  &quot;Why are you looking at me like that, El?&quot; she asked, uncomfortable.
  &quot;I said you look so beautiful,&quot; I stated and look at the make-up artists. &quot;She&quot;s beautiful, isn&quot;t it?&quot; I asked and they nodded spontaneously as they looked at Aly.

  &quot;Oh, I&quot;ve heard that word from you, El? Let's see if you can also stand up straight when you wear a gown,&quot; she said, chuckling. She began walking and almost lost her balance since she for
