The Best Friend...

The Best Friend... (First Shot)

"Renka!"

"Hmm?"

"I miss you."

"We were just together earlier, Ben" I rolled my eyes at him.

"Well, I've missed you since then!"

"Yeah, yeah."

So, here we are, just hanging out. I feel great just cause we're together. Teasing, talking and just chilling... like we're the only people in the world. 

"Renka."

"What's with the serious tone?"

"Veena and I broke up."

"Ha?!"

"It is what it is..." he shrugged, misty eyed...

"What? Why?"

"C-cause... Just cause! You know what Rengreng, I love her... I really really love her. Maybe that's why it hurts this bad..." he said and then started to really cry his eyes out.

"Benben, Just let it out. I'm here for you."

"This is too mushy for me!"

"You're too fussy! Whatever! Let's just get some ice creams and go home. I'll sleep over today~~"

"Really? You'd be miserable with me?"

"You know you're exaggerating right? Misery? You? Like you'd know that word."

"You know, when the time comes and your loved one is selfish enough to ask something that you can never give... and you end up broken, you'll understand that it's not exaggeration at all..."

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go already~~"

Once we got to his house, he drank and cried all night till he fell asleep crying in my embrace. The next morning, I asked the admin for Veena's address, citing it as work related, they gave me what I needed easily. Actually, she live quite far from the uni.   

"Good afternoon, I'm looking for Veena." I said after my knocks were answered...

"May I ask who are you?"

"I'm Renka, her co-faculty..."

"Oh, please come in, I'll call her. You can stay in the living room."

She said and a few moments later, Veena was coming from a hallway and instanty frown when she saw me. She folded her arms, sat across me and crossed her legs. She looks really pissed off.

"What are you doing here?"

"Why did you break up with Benedict? I just wanna know."

"Because of you." 

"Huh? Me?" I ask shocked, while pointing at myself.

"Yes you! You! You! And you! I asked him to choose between me and you but he can't let you go! He said you're like his little sister and that he can't abandon you! You and I both know that's not how you see him. I can't stand it if I had to share him with you all the time."

Wow, it hurts to hear from a different person... how the person you love actually sees you. I knew it before, but it still hurts now that it have been confirmed. What hurts more is the fact that he's hurting now because of me...
