Bab 57: Chapter 57

　　Flashback Continues...

　　Phoebe Point of View

　　I looked into the eyes of the man whom I considered my best friend. Though our friendship is of only few years, he had become a very important person in my life.

　　The person with whom I can play, rant about, get angry on and tease; but Love?

　　Love was never the feeling I had for him. Heck, I did not even know what happens in love. I had no experience in it.

　　Love is like a forbidden apple in my life; if I eat it then I die in pain, if I don't then I live with pain. There is no concrete future for love in my life and it is not right for a person like Niccolo to love me as well.

　　I was lucky to have him as my best friend but I cannot bring him down to my low standards leading him into an absurd relationship with me which cannot have any future whatsoever.

　　"She sure is a lucky girl to have your love." I smiled awkwardly at him and avoided looking into his eyes.
