Why do butterflies visit me too often these days? Ah, because of Gian. For the past years I have been admiring him from a far, and this year I took the courage to confess my feelings.

Will there be a difference if I try doing things to get noticed?

Masama ba mag-first move?

Those question are always stock on my head.

"What is the sense of confessing if you know that in few months you will be separated?" Tanya spilled her thoughts while we are walking along the hallway. Ihahatid namin siya sa faculty. 

"Malapit na graduation and after that we will be taking different paths. Isn't worthless to confess lalo na marami pa kayong makikilala?" Dagdag niya.

"Why not took the shot?" Layla opposed Tanya. "We never know naman, future holds a lot of possibilities."

"I just want to try. Kung wala edi wala." Kung meron, edi meron. "Ayokong hindi niya malaman ang nararamdaman ko."

"Tsaka, kung may makilala man ako sa future." Napatigil ako sa pagsasalita. "Hindi ako sigurado kung kaya ko bang kalimutan si Gian."

And on that day I confessed to him. Did I got hurt? Yes. Did I regret it? No. Never, because at this moment I am so happy to the point that regret have no rooms inside me.

Awtomatiko akong napapikit ng ilapit niya sa akin ang kanyang mukha, ilang sandali lamang ay naramdaman ko ang paglapat ng kanyang labi sa aking noo. Why my heart is sparkling this much? I think its not normal, pakiramdam ko ay sasabog ang puso ko dahil sa emosyon na nararamdaman ko.

"Hanggang ngayon ba akala mo ba pinapaasa pa kita?" He asked.

"Can't you feel my love?"

"Kung hindi malinaw sa'yo ang lahat ng ito. Nanliligaw ako sa'yo, matagal na akong nagpaparamdam." He said and pat my head while smiling.

He started courting me.

"Para akong nananaginip! Feeling ko kahapon lamang nung nireject niya ako." Masaya kong kwento kay Layla at Tanya habang nasa isang coffee shop kami naghihintay kay Liam at Ali.

Its almost the end of the year at nag-aya si Liam na mag kita-kita kami bago matapos ang taon pero siya pa ang late. I spend my Christmas with my family, hindi ko naman nakasama si Gian dahil sa ibang bansa sila ng family niya nag spend ng Christmas pati na rin itong darating na New Year but we are spending time together through video calls.

"Oh, ano na naman yang kayabangan na kinukwento mo?"

Masama kong tinitigan si Liam na kakarating lamang kasama si Ali na naka-shades pa. "Pangit mo," Dagdag pa ni Liam.

"Wag ka maniwala d'yan, maganda ka." Ali said as soon as he sat on the chair beside me.

"Ali, celebrity na talaga." Sambit ni Liam.

"Pogi kasi ako," Mayabang naman na sagot ni Ali.

"Bakit ano ganap?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Mag-aartista na siya naka-signed na siya contract isang drama, malapit na rin movie niya." Liam said casually.

"Wow, ako una basher mo." Layla sipped at her iced coffee and laughed.

"Congrats! Anong role mo?" I asked.

"Puno." He answered seriously.

We burst into laughed, that was his role on our play last foundation!

We spend the day together enjoying the stories of each other about the holiday break and their plans for the New Year. I am just sad because, I want to spend holidays like this with my love ones and of course, he is included.
