I hurried at the place that I know na maaaring puntahan niya. I know it was foolish dahil hindi ako sigurado kung nandoon ba talaga siya pero umaasa ako. Ayoko talagang manghimasok sa relasyon nila pero nag-aalala rin ako sa kaibigan ko.

I want the best for her. As her friend, all I can do is support her from what will make her happy. Ayokong maging hadlang sa kasiyahan niya.

Mabilis akong nag-drive papunta sa park malapit sa dating eskwrlahan namin noong high school kami. I would always saw her there when her days are dark. When she felt lonely, when she felt angry, when she felt so low.

Lagi akong nandoon para damayan siya. I was ready to listen to all her problems. But now, I don't even know if she wants to talk about it. Just when everything is going right for me, everything is going wrong for her.

Ganito ba kapag sumasaya ka? Na sabi ng iba ay may kapalit? I don't know what to feel.

Mabilisan akong nag-park at nagmamadaling kuhanin ang payong sa likod ng kotse ko dahil biglang umulan ng sobrang lakas. I saw her sitting at one of the benches in the park.

She looked so down. Para bang hindi mo makikilala na siya ang Joyce na jolly, 'yung laging caring. Masiyahin. Pero ngayon? She's just sitting there, sobbing. I felt like crying seeing my best friend at that state.

Tumakbo ako sa kinauupuan niya. Lumuhod ako sa harap niya. I saw her hands holding some paper. Kinuha ko iyon para tignan. It was her picture with Hyuck. Lukot-lukot, basa, punit rin ang kalahati ng picture.

I looked on her face. She looks so haggard. Para bang pagod na pagod na siya sa buhay niya. Nabitawan ko na rin ang payong ko dahil niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit. I didn't want to see her this way!

She sobbed harder and louder. I felt the pain in her sobs. Naramdaman ko ang pagyakap niya ng mahigpit sa akin. Wala na akong pakialam kung basang-basa na kaming dalawa sa ulan. Ang importante, nandito ako para kay Mamc.

"Mamc..." Her voice broked.

"Ang unfair..." Tumawa siya ng mapait. "Saan ba ako nagkulang? Where did we go wrong? Where did we get lost?"

I shushed her. I don't want her to feel more pain.

"Mamc... I am happy for you and Yang. Don't let go of him again... unlike me... I want you to be happy Mamc... With him."
