So CLOSE But Still So FAR

Chapter 7: Valentine's Fiasco 2

[Kayl's POV]

Talaga bang nahihibang na sila dahil kahit alam nilang may girlfriend ako eh binigyan pa ako ng letter at may chocolates pa.Nag-effort pa talaga sila ha?

TSS. Whoever did this? Is very stupid.Dumbness runsbin their blood.

"Basahin mo kaya.Tingnan natin kung gaano ka-obsess yang babaeng iyan sa'yo." Nanggagalaiting sabi ni Meira.Nagseselos na naman ito kahit walang dapat ikaselos. Kaya mahal ko to eh!

"Okay?" Sabi ko and nagkibit balikat nalang.

"Dear Kayl,

        Hi!You may know me personally but I don't really know if you know me that well. So,I wrote this letter to you just to let you know that I had a crush on you the first time we talked.I don't know if you know when was the first time we talked because I'm not introducing myself right.

    I just want you to know that I liked you and that I hope for you to be happy with your Girl right now.I was jealous of her but hey,she was the one you chose, you probably don't even know me, so I don't have a problem with that anymore.Treat her right and don't  let go of her.She must be special.

  Wait,I also want you to know that if you're reading this.Those chocolates are made by me.I hope you like them.Also, I just wanted you to know that I really like you but I need to move on from you.

   You're happy with her already so I won't interfere.

P.s I know I seem desperate!Don't judge me!

                                  From,
                                   Nana        "

"That's it?" Tanong ni Meira.

"Oo, although......" Simula ko.And made a decision I know I will regret someday.

"Right! Dapat lang naman yung ginawa mo! Don't worry! Gagawan nalang kita! " sabi ni Meira at binigyan ako ng matamis na ngiti. Kaya mahal ko tong babaeng ito eh.

[Vin's POV]

Grabe,walang kwenta naman tong mga pinagsasabi ng mga babaeng nagpadala sa akin ng letter. Binasa ko pa rin naman. Sayang daw yung effort pag hindi ko binasa. Pero kabalbalan lang naman ang nababasa ko eh!

Pero,may isang letter ako na hindi pa nababasa at yun ang pinaka-unique sa lahat.Red na red kasi at well, parang hindi masyadong ma-effort pero maganda pa rin naman.

I opened it and it read...

"Hey Al,
      Cool nickname huh?Although,it's not as cool as you or your name. You know,I never really admitted that I like you.

    I'm just writing this letter to let you know that something's growing inside my heart. A feeling I wanted to bury for a very long time now. And it was all because of you,even if I don't say it.

I wanted to get rid of this so I will pretend you're just a nuisance to my studies. I do hope you understand though. Because my education matters more than anything else, specially now that my mom is having a hard time.

This letter isn't about me fawning over you. Heck?I'm not doing that! Like never ever. You will never see me doing that!

I'm just telling you that even if this feeling grows (I do hope not), I won't admit anything. My friends would laugh at me and I guess if you do know me,You'll laugh too. I mean, it would be so funny to know that I liked you once.
