MY NOTE: this is a story by a friend of mine, Eliza Reyes, (MY NOTE FOR
HER: oi, Elizers, look! After having those papers in my bag for weeks, I
finally posted it, at last! Plus, sabi mo naman talaga "Kalokohan" yung
title eh, so there you have it!)
George-
Damn. Why Jon? I loved her with all my heart, all of it, I swear. I was always there for her, while he was off breaking her heart. I saw the way he hurt her, I wanted to kill him for it.
Mind, he was one of my best friends, just as same as she was, but she meant much more to me. She wasn't just a best friend; she was the one I wanted to be with, to spend the rest of my days with. I wanted to marry her, be the father of her children, and be there for her through the good and the bad I wanted to be the one that she came home to after a long battle, I wanted to be the one who holds her in my arms.
Oh, she's well off with Jon, he loves her, mind you, but not the way that I do. My love never wandered. I never doubted my feelings for her. Never had to see her in a dress, looking like a lady, to know how I felt. I loved her when she was just a wee little thing, scared and nervous. As soon as I was told the truth, I loved her. Jon knew, not as soon as I did, mind, but he found out in time, but there was a difference.
There wasn't that immediate love for her, like there was for me. He went about, flirting with proper court ladies leaving her feeling deceived. I would never betray her. Of course, Jonathan was never really disloyal; after all, he hadn't pledged his love for her while he flirted with the court ladies or while he was off sleeping with Delia of Eldorne, but still!
Of course, I saw how she blew off my love. I saw how she told me that she would never love, never marry, never anything. But there she was, betrothed to the crown prince of Tortall, and there was nothing I could do. She loved him. There had never been that kind of love in her heart for me. She loved the same way that she loved her brother, not the way she loved Jon. The look in her eyes when she was with Jon was something that could never be replaced, not even by a crooked lad like me who was blindly in love with her while she was with the future king.
Oh, how would I given anything to be in his place right now. Anything. Even my life. I love her so much that I'd die for her.
Would he?
