CHAPTER 14:
Nikko-Bernice

Dear Bernice,

Hey, Bernice! Do you still remember me? Coz I can still remember you clearly in my mind--your beautiful face especially that dazzling spark in your brown eyes, and your smile... I could not forget the way you look at me.

The moment I saw you, it seems like the spark in your eyes transfered into my heart. I felt in an instant that I'm in love.

God, I wanted to ask you right in that moment to be my girlfriend... if not because of Ian. Fuck. You're his girlfriend? You're my best friend's girlfriend? Fuck. Really damn it. What a coincidence! What a misfortune!

I wanted to laugh out of frustration. Bakit ikaw pa? Bakit siya pa?

Nahuli pa tuloy tayo kanina. Hindi ko naman kasi talaga alam na taken ka na... best friend ko pa.

He walked out, but you chose to stay with me. Pinabayaan mo lang si Ian.

Kanina, I wanted to ask you if you really love him or if I have a little chance with you... but that's too evil for me to do so. Would I risk our friendship just for you? I wanted to, but Ian is still important for me.

Now, I'm stuck.

All suck.

Alam mo ang mas nagpapahirap sa'kin? You... you giving me motives and thoughts that you like me, too. Kagaya nga kanina. Alam mong hindi kayo okay ni Ian pero you stayed with me and talked as if everything's fine. Heck. Motibo ba talaga yon o ilusyon ko lang? I want all clear, please.

Gusto kita pero mahal ko rin ang pagkakaibigan namin ni Ian.

Ayokong masaktan siya, pero ayoko rin sanang palagpasin ang pagkakataong ito. What if it's really you meant for me? Not for him. Di ba?

Ayokong pagsisihan lang ang pagbalik ko ng Pinas.

I went back here for happiness and not misfortunes and ruined relationships.

I know something in my best friend. Ayokong may masaktan. All I want is... everything to be right in their places.

Now, answer me please, Bernice. Do I have a chance with you? Are you serious with my best friend? I won't ask you this if I know the answer.

I hope you got what I want to say and imply.

Tomorrow... Heaven's Cafe. After your classes.

I'll be waiting. Ready for your answer.

Love,
Nikko
