Filipino for Space / Distance
When Adrienne arrived at Yuan’s apartment, her friends knew instantly that something was wrong.
“What?” Yuan asked. “Did he break your heart? Was he cheating on you? Where is he? I will kill him!”
Adrienne sat on the couch silently. She stared into space, still unable to recover from her shock. How could this happen to her? A few hours ago, she was happy. She was floating on air.
But that seemed so far away as she sat with her heart broken like shattered glass. She didn’t know how she would be able to recover from it. Her world had fallen apart.
“Adrienne, what is wrong?” Jill asked, taking her hands in hers and gently squeezing them.
She stared at them for a long time.
“Please don’t tell me you caught him cheating on you?”
Adrienne shook her head. “He wasn’t cheating on me.”
