"Gurl! " sigaw ni Gemma sa best friend niyang si Ken kaya napalingon naman si ken , ngumiti ito at nag wave...
They been best fiends since junior high school palang sila and now kahit 4th year college at graduating na best friends pa din sila...
"So ... sasabihin mo na ba kong sino yang crush mo? " tanong ni ken kay Gemma
Gemma shook her head
"Ayoko ko nga ni hindi mo nga sinabi sakin kung sinong crush mo eh ! " said Gemma
Lumungkot naman ang mukha ni ken pagkatapos iyong sabihin ni Gemma na kumunot naman ang noo. .
"Oh? May problema ba ?" Sabi ni Gemma sabay hawak sa mukha ni ken na syang ikinapula ng mukha nito buti na lang at hindi ito napansin ni Gemma
"Eh.. nalaman ko kasing may crush pa lang iba si crush " sambit ni ken
"Naku! Ken , marami pang iba sigurado naman akong maraming may gusto sayo. . Ikaw pa , gwapo, matalino, masipag at mabait. . Maghanap ka lang , Malay mo nasa tabi mo lang pala " - Gemma ngunit pa bulong lang ang huli
" Thanks Gem your the best " nakangiting sambit ni ken
"Of course " joke na sabi ni gem
Nagtawanan lang silang dalawa

Dear Gemma ,
Hi ! Gurl ! This is your best friend Ken .. I know pinagtatawanan mo ako habang binabasa 'to kasi napaka old school pero eto talaga ako eh ! Well I haven't told you this do you remember nung last year na halos one month masakit ang ulo ko ? ... Well you said na mag pa check up ako so I did nung tinanong mo ko kung anong sabi ni doc I just said na typical of simpleng head ache lang yun pero forgive me I lied , I was diagnosed with a brain cancer hindi ko sinabi sayo kasi alam kong masyado kang mag-aalala, sorry bestie! 😟.. They said na wala nang cure so I just enjoyed my life with you ... Alam mo ba Gem na sobrang thankful ako na naging best friend kita. .. You're beautiful inside and out , you always listen and understand me . So .. My isang secret pa ako. . I'm in love with you Gemma .. From high school until I died .. I don't know how did it happen because I'm pretty sure na lalake ang tipo ko but as they say you can never stop your heart from loving a person .. I love you forever and ever
Love ,
Ken
P.S My gift for you is at my room under my bed
Lalong umiyak si Gemma parang bittersweet moment ba!
"Letse ka ken ! I LOVE YOU TOO SINCE HIGHSCHOOL. . UGH ! BAKIT DI MO NALANG SINABI! "
"I love you so much pero Di ko sinabi cause I taught na you will never love me but I was wrong. . Pero at least we created memories together and that's the most important gift you have ever given to me ... "
