her name is Margaret lopez my one and only best friend since childhood.
can I not go to scholl beshie first I'm lazy I told him and covered my body with my blanket again.
but because of the naughty nature of this friend of mine he pulled my leg causing me to fall on my bed.
no you know that we are about to graduate college she said to me.
so i have no choice so i get up and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
ohhh your her now daughter take a sit and eat your breakfast my mom said to me.

wow really i said to her with happy tone.
yeah and my mom said to me that his going to stay for good.
then that's great news im so Happy for you beshie i said and hug her.
after Margaret told me about her dad we went straight to the classroom and while we were waiting for the teacher we were still talking.
It's been two weeks since Margaret's father came when I first saw the joy in Margaret's eyes because her father was there but as time went on I noticed a lot of Margate such as anxiety and lethargy that I had never seen in her before.
beshie, are you alright? You seem anxious. I asked Margaret when I noticed that she was anxious.
I'm fine, maybe my head hurts so maybe I'm anxious. He answered my question, even though he smiled, I don't seem convinced.
but i just nod at her to assured her that i believe to what she say to me even im not.
now we are here in front of Margaret's house and I can see that she is very anxious but I just didn't ask because I'm sure she will still answer me in the same way.
paano ba yan beshie alis na ako pumasok kana sa loob sabi ko sa kanya habang nakangiti.
sige ingat ka beshie sabi sakin ni Margaret habang nakangiti ng pilit.
papaalis na sana ako kaso biglang lumabas ang tatay ni Margaret.
Margaret bakit ayaw mo pang pumasok sa loob tanong ng tatay ni Margaret sa kanya.
inaantay ko lang na makaalis si clara utal na sagot nu Margaret
how is that beshie I'm leaving you went inside I told him while smiling.
go ahead be careful beshie Margaret said to me while smiling hard.
I was about to leave in case Margaret's father suddenly came out.
Margaret why don't you go inside yet Margaret's father asked her.
i-I'm just waiting for clara to leave, Margaret stammered.
go in as soon as your friend leaves, said Margaret's father and went back inside their house.
days later Margaret came in only once but when she came in she was just stunned outside the window and Margaret and I were about to graduate.
but i just ignore it because she say that she just tired.
now is the day when Margaret and i going to graduate but she still not her.
mom did you see where's Margaret i ask my mom hoping that he saw my Best friend.
I haven't seen her daughter yet.
now teachers are starting to call the names of students to go up on stage and get their diploma.
and now I was next so I stood up in the chair and walked to the top of the stage to get the diploma.
but suddenly the teachers stopped calling the students' names because of the loud shouting of other students outside.
so mom and I looked at each other and at the same time I didn't run but I was very nervous.
when we got out there I saw a student hanging from the rooftop.
I didn’t realize I was already sitting on the floor and crying.
nooooo... Margaret I'm shouting you're right the student hanging on the rooftop is Margaret my best friend.
now mom is crying too and hugs me tightly while sitting.
when they lowered Margaret's body and I ran there at first they blocked me but they still let me in.
why, why did you do this beshie I asked while crying so hard on him while I hugged hug his cold body.
after what happened we went here to the hospital to see Margaret again.
when we were close to the morgue I suddenly saw my aunt crying so mom and I approached her
aunt I called Margaret's mother so she looked at me.
clara my aunt called me and hugged me while I cried so I cried too.
aunt why did Margaret commit suicide I asked Margaret's mother while crying.
her father clara raped her when I wasn't at home, I only found out when I was leaving the house to go to her graduation, my aunt said that I would stop where I was.
I read her letter clara so I was very angry with my husband so I arrested him with the police aunt continued what he was saying
I don't think my daughter will commit suicide, my aunt told me while crying out loud, so my mom and I hugged her.
now I'm here at her grave five years ago since that happened to Margaret until now I still can't accept that my best friend is gone
how are you beshie I hope you're happy where you are now.
beshie please forgive me I didn't help you.
beshie you know someone offers me a job so I can visit you often. I hope you don't get upset with me. I said smiling at his grave.
I'm leaving beshie, maybe mom is waiting for me, I'll say goodbye to her before I stand up.
