There
is a boy named Nick, living his best life in the four corners of his room. He
never care. NEVER, except for one girl. He is a perfect son any parent wish to
have. He is an obedient son, kind, generous, and smart or intelligent rather.
Nick has a wonderful talent, drawing that's why he a taking up Architecture
but he didn't really like it. He wants to be a chemist, but his dad pushed him
to take his present course because his dad is an Architect.
His
life takes place in 2 settings: house & school; not actually house because he
never leaves his 4 cornered, airconditioned room, with drawings of everything
related to chemistry and even bottles of chemicals. He is working on something;
he wants to make a real love potion using these formulas and chemicals he is
in possession right now. Nick believes that love is just a chemical reaction in
our brain; having oxytocin which deepens feelings of attachment, and
vasopressin which has been linked to trust, empathy and sexual monogamy.
He's
been working on it for months now and once he finished it, he will make Danica
drink it, the girl he cares about more than himself. Just a little history
about Danica; she is Nick's classmate since gradeschool. They've been friends but
not bestfriends like any other childhoodmates. Danica are friends with Nick but
she never liked him in a way that he wants it to be. He attempted to court
Danica when they were in high school, but Nick was busted right in that moment
that he was just confessing his feelings. She told him exactly these words,
"Sorry, we can't be together". That 5 words in a sentence, broke him
into pieces. So being a chemical genius, he planned making a love potion that
can literally exist.
The time came... Nick finished this liquid in a bottle and ready to give it to Danica,
he got a mail in a mailbox from her.
TO:
NICK
FROM:
DANICA
"Dear
Nick, we've been friends since we were kids and it is really good to be your
friend. I know that we've never been bestfriends. As much as I want to be your
bestfriend, I can't, because we can't be attached to each other, because I was scared
that you'll develop feelings for me. You can't have the same feelings as I had
since we were in 5th grade. In highschool, the day you confessed your feelings for me, I didn't
know what to feel. I didn't know if I should be happy or sad, or broken because
you fell in love with me, with a girl that can't be with you for the rest of
your life. I have a heart disease and I don't want to do the operation. So, by
the time that you're reading this Nick, I am gone. But I want you to know that
I loved you; and I love you still 'til my last breath. I will be yours, forever.
In heaven. Your love, Danica"
Nick
was broken, into pieces, powdered into every ash he can be. He can't believe
it. His world was gone, it was taken. He wished that if Danica gave him a
chance to love her, even in just short of time, maybe she died happy. From
those 5 words, "Sorry, we can't be together" turned into 3 words,
"I am gone."
People
may be asking Danica, “Why? Why didn’t you tell him? Maybe you could've use those
times to be happy.” We can’t blame her for what she did. Danica doesn’t want
Nick to get attached to her and be heart broken when the time comes. She wants
him to live his life as normal as possible, without pain, heartache, suffering.
Love is not just a chemical reaction in our brain. It is a feeling. We can’t
choose a person whom we fall in love to, but it is our decision if we want to
fight for that love or just let it go away without giving it a chance even in
the shortest time you've got.
