I wiped away my tears as I placed the letter onto the bed and slowly opened up the card which contained the travel agent’s contact information.
Bette didn’t have to…this was…this was just too much. How accurately she predicted that I would be in need of a quick get away. How much she loved me to do this despite her condition at that time.
I lay back onto my bed, closing my eyes, still lost in her words.
“Bette,” I whispered her name into the empty room which we use to share, “Thank you.”
◊◊◊
“She what?!” Alice exclaimed.
I just called her to tell her about the contents of Bette’s letter, “I know…”
“I can’t believe she…and we…gawd. We didn’t even know she was planning this!”
“Believe me, I’m just as surprised.”
Alice laughed, “I think the funny thing is the timing…her timing is just perfect. We just finished a hectic week, and we won’t be swamped until the mid of March! But, Hels…”
“What?” I asked.
“I can’t go,” she said.
“Why not? Bette planned this trip for both of us…”
“I know but…it’s just that…Dana’s brother is flying in and she wants me to meet him…I…”
“Don’t worry about it, Al, I understand. Maybe we could go later, when you’re free.”
“No,” Alice replied, “Don’t…don’t postpone the trip for me. I want you to go, with Becky…”
“But there are three tickets,” I told her.
“Hmmm…how about Kit?”
“She’s managing The Planet alone…”
“Peggy?”
“Mummy’s on a holiday herself…”
“Hmmm…” Alice thought, “How about Tina?”
I smiled, “Yea, I mean, she did help out a lot when Bette was sick. It might be nice to ask her to come…”
“I think you should definitely ask her to go along with you, and I’m quite sure she will. She’s been such a good friend…”
“I know, I don’t think I could have handled things without her help.”
Alice sighed, “I’m sorry I can’t go with you though, you know that I would be there if…”
“It’s really fine, Al, I really wouldn’t you to cancel such important plans for this. There will be other holidays.”
“Definitely.”

After I hung up the phone with Alice, I dialled Tina’s number.
“Hello?” she answered.
“Hey T,” I replied, “How are you?”
“Good, had an extremely long day at work.”
“Bette’s letter came today.”
“Oh my gawd! What did it say?”
“She planned a holiday for me…”
“That’s amazing! Where to?”
“Bali.”
“Wow, that’s wonderful!”
“Yea, she got a ticket for Becky too…and…and there’s another ticket…”
“Three tickets?”
“She wrote in the letter that she wanted Alice to come with me, but Al’s busy with other commitments, so she suggested that I’d ask you to go in her place.”
“I wouldn’t feel right doing that,” Tina replied, “I mean, Bette did say it was for the three of you…”
“I know, but Alice insisted, so…would you come along with me? I’m sure Becky would love it if you were there with us.”
Tina kept silent for a while, thinking, “Well, I do have some leave to clear…and it would be nice to go on a holiday…you’re sure that you’re alright with me going in Alice’s place?”
“Definitely.”
“Alright, then count me in.”

Your writing gives me a severe case of gluttonitis…I could just eat it up all day and all night and all of tomorrow! Yummy! Good stuff! I loved giggly Alice telling Hel about Dana…I loved little Becky who has moved past meatloaf to chicken and veggies…and I’m really really intrigued by this trip to Bali that will be ensuing with Tina! **Gulp**…**licking my lips**…More please and thanky, euni!
Hey there cousin, my Uncle was a cool man;) Well I am glad that Helena was finally working and that business was thriving, she was living for a reason her daughter, buss,friends and for Bette’s letters and surprises. So glad that Al mentioned Tina, she really has helped Helena and Becky and find it perfect. Really enjoyed this chapter cousin,,,,,,
Nice vacation coming up. Will we be seeing the start of HeleTina. Tilena? They have been pretty close.
ummmm Tina? It’s not a bad idea. After all she is family too. Welcome bck missed this story. Missed more Bette. Can not get over the fact that se will not see Becky growing. PPVS
Well this is progressing nicely… Tina sounded a bit reluctant so maybe she’s not feeling as strongly toward Helena as I thought. The sun and winds of Bali will weave their magic on these two I predict… More soon, Euni! :>)
some things have changed but i still think that bette is there everyday with helena PPS ive emailed u check ur inbox
Loved the update E…and of course you can abbreviate my sign on…it is lenghthy, eh (LOL). I would like an H and Tasha story…something about a pairing with Tina wouldn’t feel right…I can understand how it would happen…but it doesn’t feel right!!! As usual loved it MORE please!!!
Bette is such a romantic to even think about stuff like that while being sick. So Tina is going to join them huh, does this mean you are going to introduce us to some Heletina or will it be too soon and we might end up with some Heletash (geez that doesn’t even sound right LOL)
