When I heard the news, I was terribly shocked. The news was about one of my best friend and also one of my classmates who committed suicide. The reporter in the news told us that she seemed to commit suicide by jumping off from the roof. They found her body with blood flowing all over the roads. It was a horror and tragic sight to see so they hid the photos from watchers. When I heard this, my body went numb and my eyes were widened. To think that someone you knew had committed suicide is rare and unusual. This had never happened to me before. She was one of my best friend that are really nice to me.
The next day, I came to school with feelings of regret. I figured that she must have problems and if not why would she do this? I felt like I am not suited to be her friends. A true friend helped each other. She always helped me whenever I had family problems but I never had once asked about her problems. When I stepped into the classroom, everyone was busy talking about her. They told me that she had family problem but it seemed that her problem were too difficult. Her parents had already divorced and she was left alone in the house. Then, the guys interrupted us by telling it had also had to do with her boyfriend.
She had been in love with her boyfriend for almost five years. It was a mutual love and she really liked him for god-knows-how-long. But now I did not know that she had broke up with him because of her mistake. All this time, she always talked to me about her happy times with him. They told me that someone from another school tried to break them up. It was a woman who is obsessed of him. What she did to her was a cruel thing. She made someone, a Casanova to attempt on raping her. And so the woman took photos of her with that Casanova and sent it to her boyfriend as a slander. Eventually after that, they argued at each other and finally her boyfriend left her and decided to end their relationship once and for all.
They told me that her heart was terribly broken. It felt like a sharp knife had stabbed her. My tears began to flowed down through my cheek hearing this. While crying, I told them that she had never told me anything before, problems about her family even her boyfriend. They were sad about this and tried to comfort me down. But then my homeroom teacher had to tell me something about her despite seeing me so hurt. She told me that after her death, her parents decided to live together again and they were so regret about this. I just nodded. She and the entire classmates also advice me to meet her parents to know more about this matter in hand. And thus, I decided to meet them on school weekends.
They day to meet her parents had finally come. My heart was beating fast and I was nervous. I took a deep breath and knocked the door to her house. Luckily, I had her address from my mother. The door slowly opened and there revealed a woman. I told her that I was one of her daughter's best friend. She was surprised and glad to see me and invited me to come in. Her mother seemed very nice and all of my nervousness had vanished just like that. She let me sit in the guest room and then served me tea. I sat there quietly, unsure of what to say. But she is the one who broke the silence and started the conversation.
"My daughter always talked about you. I was really glad that she had such a nice friend." She told me. I was such a nice friend? I looked down in regret and disappointment. "Why? I had never once helped her with her problems before." I said. But she just smiled and then slowly shook her head. "No. You always helped her. She always told me about it. Even if it is not about her problems. But seeing you happy and smiling because of her made her day complete." She explained. My eyes started to water but I tried to held back. Then, she remembered something. "I think there's a letter on her desk. It's written there that it's for you." She smiled at me.
'Dear friend. I am really grateful to have such a friend like you. I had once told mom that you had made my day lively and complete. You always smiled at me and laughed together with me even in crucial times. And you also had helped me with my problems. But this time my problems is too big for you to help me and I decided to kept it a secret from you. I'm really sorry. I must had made you feel regretful, am I right? But please don't feel regret of yourself because of me. It was my decision to this after all. Again I am very sorry that I had ended my life like this. But I want you to know that you are very special to me and I thanked god for giving me such a good friend. I guess this is a farewell. For now. I promise you, we will meet each other again if god willing to. And when that time comes, please tell me everything about my life with. Your one and only best friend, Scarlet.'
I slowly sat on the floor while holding the letter. I can't hold back my tears anymore. I broke into tears thinking it was all my fault. But I tried to think positive. I also promised her and myself, if I meet her again, I will surely tell her about all the adventures that we had shared together. At the same time, I prayed to god. "Please make this wish of mine come true."
Well of course I had also corrected them and surely the mark won't be the same. Hahahaha.. This is originally idea from me and I hope you guys like them. Please don't forget to leave a comment or two.
Well then, buh-bye.. ^_^
