I let my boyfriend raped my bestfriend

ILMBRMBF

"Bes, mabuti naman na dumating ka na. Malapit na rin kasing dumating si Leo eh."

This day is me and Leo — my boyfriend's anniversary kasi and I want to surprise him that's why, pinapunta ko rito si Mary — my best friend 'cause I need her help.

"Sige, bes. So ano pala'ng maitutulong ko?" she asked me.

"Pwede bang dito ka na lang muna? Just stay here at bantayan mo lang muna 'tong mga 'to," I answered.

She creased her forehead. "Bakit? Saan ka pupunta?"

"Meron lang akong bibilhin sandali sa labas. Basta if dumating si Leo, 'wag mo agad papasukin dito, okay?" I answered.

She nodded. "Sige. Basta bilisan mo lang ah."

Tumango lang ako at agad na lumabas para bumili ng cake for us.

Nang makauwi ako, I automatically called Mary.

"Bes! Bes! Mary, nasa'n ka?" I shouted, but no one answered.

When I heard Mary shouted and asking for a help, I immediately went at Leo's room.

Dahan-dahan kong binuksan ang pinto and there, I saw my boyfriend — raping my best friend.

"Bes! Bes, tulungan mo ako! Please!" she shouted at me as she saw me.

But instead of helping her, I decided to watched them and let my boyfriend raped my best friend.

"I'm sorry, Mary, but I can't help you."

After I said that to her, tumalikod ako at naglakad palabas.

When 2 months had passed, I did not see Mary again. Wala na akong kumunikasyon at balita pa sa kan'ya. I tried to find her, but I stopped nang ma-realize kong wala ng pag-asa pang maibalik ang dating friendship na meron kami dahil alam kong galit na galit s'ya sa akin.

Until one day...

"Danica..." someone called me.

I faced that someone who called me and there, I saw her again.

"Mary..." I automatically hugged her tight. "Mabuti naman na nagpakita ka na. Alam mo bang matagal kitang hinanap?"

She broke our hug. "Hinanap? Bakit mo naman ako hinanap?"

"Dahil gusto kong humingi ng tawad sa 'di ko pagtulong sa'yo noon no'ng ginahasa ka ni Leo," I answered.

She chuckled. "Humingi ng tawad? Bakit? Sa tingin mo ba, papatawarin kita?"

"Bes—"

"Don't call me bes 'cause you're not my best friend anymore." She sighed. "Bakit? Bakit 'di mo ako tinulungan, Danica? Best friend mo ako 'di ba? So you should help me, but instead of helping me, you were just watching him while raping me."

"I'm sorry talaga, Mary. I really wanted to help you, pero hindi ko kaya. Hindi ko kayang tulungan ka kaya wala na akong nagawa pa kun'di panoorin ka na lang na ginagahasa ni Leo."

She creased her forehead. "Hindi kaya? Bakit hindi mo naman kaya?"

"Because I'm already dead that day," I answered.

"You're already dead that day when you saw Leo raping me?" She chuckled. "Nagpapatawa ka ba?"

"No, I'm not. It was true that I'm already dead that day," I answered.

"Pero paano? Paano ka namatay no'ng araw na 'yon?" she asked me.

"Habang naglalakad ako pauwi no'ng araw na 'yon after I bought the cake, I noticed someone following me. I tried to call you and Leo, pero hindi kayo sumasagot. So tumakbo nalang ako, pero hinabol n'ya ako hanggang sa naabutan n'ya ako. Nang maabutan n'ya ako, he raped me and after he raped me, he killed me."

I saw her — crying na dahilan para mapangiti ako nang mapait.

"Do you know who's that someone?" I asked her.

"Sino?" she asked me.

I smiled bitterly. "It's Joshua — your boyfriend."

"He raped me, Mary like what Leo did to you. They both raped us and they did that 'cause they were just followed their plan, but suddenly, Joshua killed me and Leo let you still alive. Do you know why?" She shook her head. "It's because Leo love you while Joshua hate me."

"So I'm sorry if I let him raped you, Mary. I just have no choice, but to let him. I'm sorry and I hope, you will still forgive me," I added before I slowly faded away.
