in this part many days had passed. So it's already December here.

I saw Noah walking towards me. He's holding a white plastic in his left hand and a wine in his other hand.
Naglagay siya mg sapin sa damuhan at doon umupo kasama ako. The view was breathtaking again.
"Kung mamamatay ako, gusto ko ditong mamahinga kasama ang mama mo." I whispered.
He looked at me as if I was saying things that he fears the most.
"Don't say that." Madiin na sabi niya.
"What?" I laughed. "I'm not joking ha? I just really love this place. It makes me happy." I mumbled.
"Kapag namatay ako promise mo dito mo ako ililibing ha?" I told him that while smiling.
Hindi siya sumagot at natulala lang.
"Hoy!" Ipinitik ko ang aking daliri sa harapan niya.
"You know what... My mom also told me that..." Pahina ng pahina ang boses niya.
"Sabi niya gusto niya din daw dito ilibing kapag namatay siya. She told me that while smiling just like what you did..." He uttered.
"I'm sorry about that." I was remorsed.
That was so insensitive Shia! Kung alam ko lang hindi ko na sana sinabi 'yon. But I'm telling the truth... I want to rest already.
"A penny of your thoughts? You can tell me everything." He mumbled.
"I'm tired." Iyon pa lang ang nasasabi ko pero tumulo na ang mga luha ko.
Lumapit siya sa akin at inilagay niya ako sa gitna ng mga hita niya. Sumandal ako sa dibdib niya.
Thank you Lord God for giving me someone like him.
"Pagod na pagod na ako, gusto ko nang magpahinga." I wiped my tears. "Bakit kung sino pa ang pamilya ko sila pa ang nananakit sa akin?" I asked him.
"Hindi lahat ng pamilya ay kadugo mo, minsan kung sino pa ang hindi mo kadugo sila pa ang totoong pamilya mo." He replied.
"Can you hug me more? Nilalamig na ako." He did what I said. He hugged me tighter.
I saw the fireworks in the sky. They were loud and beautiful. The view and the fireworks combined were ethereal.
"Merry christmas--"
"Sinasagot na kita." I told him. His words were stopped by me. He was stunned for a while.
"Did I hear that right or I'm just hallucinating?" He probed
"Sinasagot na kita." Ulit ko, mas malinaw.
"Damn, you just made my christmas extra happy. I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too." I whispered back.
This is our first i love you's.
I sighed.
"If I die today or the next day, please don't forget about me." Tumulo ang luha ko habang sinasabi 'yon.
"You will not die, live for yourself and for me, baby. Don't die, please." He pleaded.
"I'll try." I smiled weakly.
