They have the strongest bond between friends. It is even stronger than the bond between sibblings. They knew each other since grade school and now they are in college. It was unbreakable. They knew that there's nothing can come between and asunder them apart. Although both have very distinct lifestyle, they managed to stay good friends. They knew the consequences. One was Heaven. One was hell. Both two should never met.
One was always deploring how life is so cruel to her. How she never gets what she wants. And how life is very unfair to her. Because he knew her inside and out, he knows what she needs to hear. Words that can make her smile again. But still she felt abandoned and crestfallen that her life was far from what she have always dreamed of. He knew there's nothing he can do except offer his shoulder to lean and cry on because he could never give her the life she wanted the most. To a such small thing, she's contented and knew it was more than enough....to hear his voice over the phone, feel his embrace, and see his angelic face as ofter as she could. She secretly loved him all this time more than anyone else.
But things happened. She met someone that can finally make her happy. Someone who occupied her sadden thoughts and her heart. Little by little, she slowly drifted apart.
Now she found this new happiness and the life she've always wanted. But then, just like what she always feared of, everything she've dreamed of fell apart. She wanted it to last a lifetime. She wanted to hold on. She knew this person is different, he mattered to her more than anyone else in her life.
On the other hand, although he felt he had been forgotten, he tried to do everything he can to put things back all in pieces without her cognition. It's his best friend's happiness we're talking about. It's what matter the most for him, her happiness. He just have to do everything. He did everything he can and hoped it will work for the best.
After a long time since they've heard from each other, he recieved a suprisingly message from her. "Hey buddy! Sorry I've been away for quite sometime now. Can we meet up? Usual place."
And so the best friends did.
Here they are, in their usual hang out place. Acting like nothing's wrong. After a long time, here they are again on a lazy saturday morning in the breezy shore. Already the mood was sad and tragic."I thought you have forgotten about me. It made me sad." He said half-joking.
"How could I forget about you? You're my best friend. The one I treasure the most." She replied.
"You know that will never change between us, right? I knew what I had to do. And that was to let you go and find the happiness you've always looked for.......happiness that I could never give you." He said as he hold her hands. Already tears were flowing down on his cheeks.
She felt that even if he meant what he just said, there's nothing they can do. There was something painful about those words. She apologized.
But he didn't accept it. He knew she didn't know the things he'd done for her, but he wanted her to think she found what she had been looking for on her own. After all, that's all what she wanted.
"I'm dying." She said softly. "The doctors found out I have a tumor in my brain. Sooner, I'll become bed-ridden and die slowly."
He was aghast and astounded. He wants to help her. But he knew this time there's nothing he can do to make things better and change things. He was helpless. And again, there is nothing he can do but to offer his shoulder and cry with her........
