Destiny's Betrayal

After days, Sandy saw Tanya sleeping on a bench.

She was hesitant to go near her so she didn't.

When Sandy was walking away from Tanya, she heared an exclaim.

"Hala?!!"

Tanya saw her watch and realized that she slept for an hour which made her skip a class.

She looked behind her then confirmed that it was Tanya.

She was like a kid under her tantrums.

Sandy couldn't believe what she was seeing, "Akala ko pa naman siga."

Sandy was looking for an important paper that has been missing since she entered the canteen.

Tanya saw how nervous Sandy was. The former was hesitant to go near her but she eventually did.

Sandy looked at her with a worried face, "Do you need help?".

Sandy didn't answer but she thought, I'd be better if someone can help her.

"Yung papers ko, hindi ko mahanap", Sandy spoke with a shaking voice.

"Sandy, calm down. Wait", Tanya said while stroking the former's arms and then she looked around the area.

Tanya couldn't find it so she went out.

Tanya saw a paper at the side of the bush and there she confirmed it was Sandy's because of the handwriting. She came back inside with the papers.

"Here", Tanya handed Sandy a bunch of papers.

"Oh, thank you so much!", Sandy absentmindedly hugged Tanya which startled the latter.

After realizing what she just did, she parted their hug and thanked her. "T-thank you so much for helping me, this is so important kasi e".

"No problem", Tanya then left Sandy's sight.

A week later

Sandy saw Tanya alone, crying. She wanted to comfort her but she's afraid to get rejected.

"Matanda na 'yan, Sandy. Kaya na nya sarili n'ya," she thought.

But she walked closer to Tanya who was sitting on a bench.

When she took a last step, Tanya looked up to her with her red eyes and tears flowing down from it.

"Do you need a friend?", Sandy asked.

Tanya didn't say anything but looked down and wiped her tears. Sandy sat beside her and then stroked her hand on Tanya's back.

"They say it's nice to say all your problems sa mga di masyadong kilala," said Sandy.

Tanya looked at her and then replied, "Kilalang kilala kaya kita, enemy kita e."

Sandy chuckled, "Nakuha mo pa talagang mabiro".

Tanya was still looking at her. "Kailangan ko bang mag-English para sa'yo?"

"No. Tagalog naman ang first language ko. Nasanay lang sa English."

Tanya nodded,"Ah.."

"Bakit mo naman naisipang lumapit sa'kin?"

"Ah...ilang beses na kasi kitang nakitang parang wala sa wisyo. Hindi ka na masyadong active sa class tapos hindi ko na rin nakikitang nakikipag-hang out ka sa friend mo".
