Tesera Amore:Natalia Cole

"Sorry Natalia, still got no letters from him." Jerry said before i could even say a word. "I know." The hurt was too obvious, but I faked a smile nonetheless.

"Then? --- We've been like this for months Natalia. Still not giving up, are you? Come on. ITS TIME TO MOVE -- ON". Jerry's little voice emphasized every word for me.

There's no way I'm moving on. Daryl would never do this to me. There must be some definite reason behind this. I will find out for myself. I will do what it takes. So here goes nothing..

"NO JERRY." My words were as strong as how I believe in what I stand for. "Here." I handed him a small envelope, the one I've been hiding under my pillow for weeks already. I've gathered up alot of courage to finally do this. For Daryl. He took it from my hands as he raised his eyebrows at me. "What is it? Why isnt this addressed for Daryl?" He examined the envelope and waited for my response. "Thats for the Office of the secretary. Im going to the camp." My heart was pounding againts my chest. Jerry is my only chance. If he could be able to send this letter for me, I can definitely accomplish my plans in looking for Daryl. "Look, Natalia.. visitors aren't allowed in there. You are a girl, its too -"

"No jerry, I am going to train myself there. I will enter the military camp. I will look for Daryl. Now send this letter for me please..." My hands took his, my eyes started to water as I continued. "You've been there Jerry, from the first day I met him til the last second we've been together. You witnessed our love. It has been 6 months Jerry, it seems so impossible for him not to send a single letter." He was speechless the whole time. So I took this as an advantage. "PLEASE JERRY -- LET ME SEE HIM. LET ME ASK HIM. IF HE DOESNT LOVE ME ANYMORE THEN I'LL GO BACK. I PROMISE."

He slowly nodded his head as he firmly tucked the envelope inside his bag.
