The silence between Maloi and Yanna during the car ride was thick, punctuated only by the distant hum of passing cars. Maloi recognized the need for Yanna to process her emotions, choosing to respect her friend's space rather than intruding with unnecessary chatter. With each passing moment, the weight of Yanna's hurt hung heavy in the air, palpable in the stiffness of her posture and the sadness that clouded her eyes.
Glancing at Yanna, Maloi couldn't help but notice the raw pain etched into her features, a silent testament to the betrayal she felt. Yanna's transparent vulnerability laid bare her inner turmoil, her emotions unfiltered and exposed for the world to see. Maloi turned her attention back to the road, focusing on the task at hand as they made their way to her condo, the silence stretching between them like an unspoken barrier.
Arriving at Maloi's condo, the quietude persisted as they rode the elevator in solemn silence, each lost in their own thoughts. Yanna followed Maloi wordlessly into the apartment, her movements devoid of their usual energy and enthusiasm. Sinking onto the sofa bed, Yanna enveloped herself in a cocoon of solitude, her silence speaking volumes.
"Okay ka lang?" Maloi's voice broke through the stillness, a gentle inquiry laced with concern. Yanna met her gaze with a small smile, a flicker of gratitude illuminating the depths of her eyes.
"I'll order food nalang, what do you want? the usual nalang ba?" Maloi's offer of comfort resonated in the simplicity of her words, a gesture of familiarity amidst the chaos of the evening. Yanna nodded in agreement, her gratitude palpable in the quiet acknowledgment.
As they waited for the food to arrive, the silence between them stretched on, each moment pregnant with unspoken words and unshared emotions. Yanna's mind swirled with a maelstrom of thoughts, her heart heavy with the weight of betrayal.
"Gusto mo ba pag-usapan?" Maloi's voice cut through the silence like a lifeline, offering Yanna a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness that threatened to engulf her. Yanna hesitated, her inner turmoil laid bare before her friend's compassionate gaze.
"Nakita mo din, right?" Yanna's voice trembled with vulnerability, her eyes searching Maloi's for validation. Maloi nodded in silent understanding, her heart aching for the pain etched upon her friend's face.
"Maloi, hindi ko na alam... I'm not sure If i want to believe yung nakita ko. The past days i even kept telling myself that this all has a reason. Kasi si Myles yon e. She wouldn't do anything like that. I'm at a loss. I simply feel like I'm broken in half. Mal, I had faith in her. We had a promise.."
Yanna's words hung heavy in the air, a raw expression of pain and betrayal that echoed through the silence. Maloi's heart broke for her friend, her own eyes glistening with unshed tears as she bore witness to Yanna's anguish.
As Yanna succumbed to exhaustion, her tears giving way to the peaceful embrace of sleep, Maloi tucked her in with gentle care, her heart heavy with the weight of unspoken truths and unshared emotions. Standing vigil over her sleeping friend, Maloi couldn't help but wonder how someone could inflict such pain upon a soul as precious as Yanna's.
As the night stretched on, Maloi remained by Yanna's side, her silent presence a beacon of unwavering support amidst the storm of emotions that raged within. Though her own heart ached with the burden of unspoken words and unshared feelings.
