A Lost Valentine's
Chapter 11
~~{ Epilogue }~~
Have you ever felt so lost & down when you lose something important in your life ?
but become unexpectably surprise when you’ve gain something else?
What had you lost?
What had you gain?
Was it the End? What is the End?
The End is just another beginning.
The end of one story only leads to the beginning of another.
The night sky was filled with clouds as the two of them walked down the park behind their school.
The moon was partially hidden behind the cloud but it shone enough to see the shyness & awkardness of both of them.
For they didn’t know what to say, as they continued walking & walking.
It was as if two lovers’ first time out on a date.
Nothing seems to be able to come out from their mouth as they looked at other.
“Why did you left… without saying anything…?”
For they didn’t know what to say, as they continued walking & walking.

Nothing seems to be able to come out from their mouth as they looked at other.
“Why did you left… without saying anything…?”
Ken finally asked.
It was indeed the first thing he wanted to know and something had to know.
“I… I don’t know…”
Janice tried not to look at his face.
“How can I like the same person as my best friend…?”
“And you chose to go away? Did it help?”
“Ken, I didn’t choose to go away. My company had all along tied me up with the course and the date was already fixed… I just.. didn’t let you know. ”
“But you liked me all along right?”
Ken proceed.
“I……..”
Janice seems to have no answers for all the questions that Ken asked.
Maybe she had but her words seemed choked.
“Daphne was right after all..”
“What does it got to do with Daphne?”
Janice seem shocked.
“Did I ever tell you why we broke up?”
“No.. you didn’t…”
“Daphne said she wasn’t the one who loved me the most.. and she’s wasn’t the one whom I loved the most.”
Janice stopped walking.
“Daphne was right after all..”
“What does it got to do with Daphne?”
Janice seem shocked.
“Did I ever tell you why we broke up?”
“No.. you didn’t…”
“Daphne said she wasn’t the one who loved me the most.. and she’s wasn’t the one whom I loved the most.”
Janice stopped walking.
She suddenly remembered the words from Daphne after she slapped her.
“Don’t hurt yourself and him anymore..”
Ken too stopped walking.
“What about Mabel? Didn’t she liked you a lot too?”
“Jan, I like Mabel all along but as a good friend, as a good sister. I was very happy that she liked me but when you love someone, you can’t just expect the person to return the favor right?”
Ken continued.
“But Mabel is my best friend, probably the only best friend that I will have this life. How can I do this kinda things to her?”
“Love is between two people. There’s right or wrong about anything.”
“We won’t have a future between us”
“Why not?”
“I don’t know.. I just don’t know…”
“Janice, listen to me. Nobody knows about the future. You are right, we may not last as long as we think.
“Don’t hurt yourself and him anymore..”
Ken too stopped walking.
“What about Mabel? Didn’t she liked you a lot too?”
“Jan, I like Mabel all along but as a good friend, as a good sister. I was very happy that she liked me but when you love someone, you can’t just expect the person to return the favor right?”

“I don’t know.. I just don’t know…”
“Janice, listen to me. Nobody knows about the future. You are right, we may not last as long as we think.
But that shouldn’t stop us from beginning right?
At least it’s better than we never had the option to choose from beginning.”
Ken looked at the clear sky.
“Janice, you know.. we are not as young as we used to.”
Ken went on to hold her hand with his.
“Can we celebrate Valentine’s day like this every year?”
Janice was speechless..
This was something that she had always wished for the last 11 years.
She looked at Ken.
“Ken, can you promise me something?”
“To love you forever and forever?”
“Nope, I want you to hand write me a Lover Letter every Valentine’s day from next year onwards… until the day that you die. Even if I would to leave you first, you still have to write and ‘burn’ to me”
“Something like this?”
Ken took out the letter out from his pocket.
Ken looked at the clear sky.

Ken took out the letter out from his pocket.
It was the letter that Janice had sent 10 years ago..
Janice hugged Ken.
“Yeah… something like that… “
And so it begins, a love story itself unfolds on Valentine’s day where many couples celebrates. Some would buy rings, flowers and other expensive gifts that they can afford.
What do we really want from Valentine’s day?
It’s may not be something expensive, its may not be something exclusive, it can even be a piece of letter that we’ve hand written and post to our love ones.
Would you write a love letter to your love one next Valentines?
I’m sure you would…
