"Tokyo!"

Kaagad nilapitan ni Britanny si Tokyo nang makapasok na siya sa kwarto nito. She immediately hugged her friend who was lying down on her bed, facing sideways, crying.

Tokyo felt her best friend hugging her. She looked back and cried even more when she saw her friend in flesh.

"Brit, ang sakit... Parang gusto kong mamatay..." She said to her and her best friend hugged her again, letting her cry over her shoulders.

"Ssshhh, hindi mo naman ako sinabihan, kayo at ni Thorn ang nagbreak, hindi tayo," Britanny replied, soothing her.

"I don't understand, Brit, I will never understand his reason. We were okay, we were happy tapos bigla siyang ganito." Tokyo added, sobbing.

"I know it hurts so much, nine years kayo eh pero nandito pa rin ako, Toki. Friendship tayo forever at 'di kita iiwan. Tignan mo ang sarili mo ngayon, ang payat mo na, umiitim na 'yung eyebags mo." Britanny commented as she freed themselves from the hug, "Tokyo, makinig ka sa 'kin, hindi mo siya kawalan. Tangina 'yan tinik na 'yan, kaya tinik ang ipinangalan kasi tinik lang pala ang ibibigay sa buhay mo."

"I just don't understand. Bakit niya pa kami pinatagal ng siyam na taon, he even fucking proposed to me then he's gonna break up me dahil he fell out of love?" Tokyo was breathing heavily as she spoke those words, remember how Thorn ended things with that easily.

"Putanginang gago." Britanny reacted, sounding mad. "Puta, ba't di mo sinabi sa 'kin? Dapat sinabi mo dahil sinugod ko ang cactus na 'yun!"

Tokyo wiped her tears with her hands. "It's no use, Brit. He's firm with his decision, I even begged na huwag niya akong iwan, I made myself a fool para tanggapin niya ako ulit but he reasoned out that one day, he just realized he couldn't see himself with me in the future anymore. Hindi na raw niya nakikita iyon..."

"Tangina ba siya? Hindi sana niya sinayang ang siyam na taon mo."

"Hindi ko alam kung anong ginawa ko para bigla na lang siyang magbago. I was there for him from everything, nang mag-graduate siya sa medtech up to medicine niya, since we were young, I was there for him."

"Mas matatanggap ko pa siguro if nag-cheat siya but he didn't and I know he was telling the truth because I knew him... Brit, when he talked to me, the way he looked at me, it wasn't the same anymore." Tokyo added. "Sana man lang he gave me warning signs na gusto na pala niyang tumigil. Hindi iyong ganito. Sana hindi siya nagpropose, sana hindi niya ako pinaasa. He ended things so easily like I don't matter to him."

"Sana hindi niya pinaabot ng siyam na taon kung iiwan lang din naman niya ako," Tokyo cried again. "Pinagmukha kong tanga ang sarili ko at nagmakaawa sa kanya but in return, he only gave me pain so much that I couldn't take it anymore and made me question about my worth."

Britanny embraced her best friend again, making her feel she's always going to be there for her friend. "Tokyo, I'm always here. Nandito lang ako, hindi kita iiwan."

"Ang sobrang sakit, Brit... Ang sakit..."
