She could blame herself and feel sorry for herself all day, but she was not going to do that because it would drive her crazy. She needed some clarity, some time to not think about the case until all the men come back and start talking.
Bette’s abundant book collection was a good option at the time being. She rolled out of bed and stood in front of the bookshelf in search of something interesting. Then she found a particularly intriguing collection. The book was in the Spanish section, and the faded color of its paper back indicated its old age. The ridge was nearly corroded, barely holding it together. Despite that, Tina could still recognize the book. It was a poem booklet from her third semester Spanish class.
She carefully picked it up, so not to disturb the already dangling pages. And she randomly flipped through it. One of the pages was abnormally more damaged than the others, there were water stains on it, like the page was soaked with liquid again and again. She knew Bette was a neat person, and a book lover, so the woman must have been revisiting that one poem very often.
It was a poem by a Tibetan monk, translated into Spanish. “Si me ves, o no”, an odd little poem it was.
Si me ves, o no,
(Whether you see me or not)
siempre estaré ahi,
(I am standing right here)
ni triste ni alegre.
(and there is no emotion)
Si me extraña, o no,
(Whether you miss me or not)
siempre el sentimiento permanecerá,
(the feeling is right here)
ni vendrá ni de irá.
(and it’s not fading)
Si me quieres, o no,
(Whether you love me or not)
siempre el amor estaré ahí,
(love is right here)
ni aumentará ni se reducirá.
(and it’s not changing)
Si me sigues, o no,
(Whether you’re with me or not)
siempre mis manos estarán en tus manos,
(my hand is always in yours)
no juntas ni separadas.
(and I am not letting go)
Ven a mi abrazo,
(Let me embrace you)
hazme vivir en tu corazón,
(let me live in your heart)
para enamorarnos,
(for love)
complacernos,
(for joy)
y tranquilamente.
(and for tranquility)
She tried to read through it, but her Spanish had gotten rusty overtime. Anyways, she couldn’t have read better than Bette did. So she tried to imagine the brunette read it to her. The soft voice, like a spring breeze, not too emotion revealing, but always had the power to stir a perfectly still pool of water. She could vaguely remember the meanings of each line and that it was a love poem. How weird, a love poem written by a monk. But it was beautiful, the dedication, the generosity, the level of love that was both possessive and freeing, and of course, they were so very sad.

First thing first, SO to the lovely ladies reading and commenting!
Simonem, yep I changed quite a few things here and there, hope you find my pace comfortable.
doc, bibi, lipitora, SG, wkm, thanks for stopping by, ladies. I do my best to not disappoint!
lakeeskin Awww thanks so much for stepping up as a rep of the silent readers. Lots of love to you!
TN1, you know how much I love you… too much to be spoken, so I gift you my story instead :)
doris, mscully, Lishalove, thanks guys! Stop by anytime and lots of love to you as well!
Ahh I know you expect longer chapters. But this just seems like a right place to stop. I’ll let you guys imagine what happens to that bastard Henry for a while.
As for the poem in the chapter, I did the translation, my apologies in advance to any Spanish speaking readers, I know very little about poems or Spanish for that matter…
But the original version, in Chinese mind if I add, was absolutely breathtaking and heartbreaking. It’s the sixth Dalai Lama’s love poem “To see or not to see”, also changed it a bit coz I can’t remember the exact words.
Ok, now back to work, hopefully I’ll post another very soon.
Peace :)
Really liked the poem. So Henry is going to trap himself. Hope Bette and Tina are smarter than Jorge. Loved it, thanks
This chapter is the falling in love chapter. We. Know Bette loves Tina… She always has. Tina cares deeply for Bette and she is trying to understand why. This chapter had all of the elements of two people falling… The push, the pull, give and take, desire and will to protect and support. That’s the story but the way YOU wrote it is just as harmonious for us. We fall in love too… with the characters, the story, and the author. You are doing to us what Bette and Tina are doing to each other… A little give, a little mystery, wanting, hoping, etc. I love that you ended this chapter at this point. As any new lover I want to wonder about “what’s next” and I want to be comforted in my knowledge that I will be taken care of. Still loving this story.
Nice, sweet, and entertaining chapter. I loved it!
Wonderful update, keeps you interested.
Jorge is a very smart man and Henry seems to meet his destination.
Pps.
I really liked this chapter.
You’re very talented, but I have repeatedly told you. :)
I really enjoy the way you weave in mysterious fibers in this story. I liked it in the end you’re left temporarily in our imagination, what will happen.
I’m so glad that Tina was so smart to find a suspicious situation. and Bette and her, so no one was hurt in the end.
I hope they will eventually figure out how to go beyond Jorge brains.
It was a great chapter. I’m looking forward to the next one!
yeah,I like what you have done,but next time please mark it with NC-17,I want to be well prepared,you know what I mean!
The poem was beautiful just like this progressing story. Thankful for your imagination and talent to put it in writing!!
Different and interesting story. I worry though about them all the while I’m reading!
Love every chapter! Can’t wait too see how things go between Bette, Tina and the mob. Oh, and no need to solve this quickly, the longer the story, the better for us! ;)
Hmmm now i am worried about Tina cause if Henry is going to die he may give up info about her Then what would Tibette do !!!
Loved the chapter, I hope Bette is smart enough to get out of this situation by giving up evidence and helping Tina get the bad guys. PPS
Beautiful and wonderful poem, I love poems.
Bette lovely dedicated so much love Tina,
and I’m still concerned about the fact
Bette really be a criminal.
10 Stars.
