In this site, we will share an extraordinary story that shows what true friendship and unconditional love really mean.
It was 20 years ago in the Philippines that I’ve finally realized what friendship really meant. I still remember the moment, that tragic car accident I experienced with her. Though I felt like dying, her helpless voice gave my body the strength that led me to where she was. And that was the time I first laid my eyes on her. Since then, I never dared to leave her side.
We kept each other company through the tough times. We shared the happiest ones, too. At the beach where she had reside, we used to wander from noon until dusk. And at the park where we usually play, I had been sharing her craziest stories man could ever make. We play near the shore, collect shells, catch insects, pick flowers and I still remember everything, even giving her a piggy ride home when she had hurt herself. She considered me as her brother,her hero,.. her best friend. While I, I consider her my life. I was too young then to understand what I felt but deep inside, I know, she’s more than just a friend. Those were the best 3 years of my life.
Then I had to make a decision and that includes leaving her behind. Yes, It was for the both of us. But, just a girl should be, she never understood. The day I gave her the copy of our first picture together was the most heart-breaking event I had ever seen. Seeing her tears flow like the waterfall rushing from the top of a mountain was like a knife slowly cutting the insides of me. But, I had never let it take control over me. All I did was to hug her and say,
“I’m sorry. I promise I’ll come back and be with you again. Just wait. Just wait..”
17 years passed, and I became a fully-grown man. I finished college,found a good job, lived by my own and was still battling this sickness. For years in Europe, I’ve been fighting alone because I never dared to let her know. I was too scared that she would feel pity, thinking her hero can’t even lose to a disease like this. But then, destiny had to do something. The company where I worked assigned me back to Philippines, giving me the chance to meet her again. I never mind. I thought I’d just act normal when I see her again.
