CHRISTMAS came, nagpunta lang ulit kami sa California to celebrate. Me and Lance are okay again, may times lang na cold talaga siya at kung ano-ano pinagsasabi. He keeps on asking about "my plan" or "revenge" to him na hindi ko alam kung saan niya napulot. Why would I plan a revenge for him? Hindi ko na rin siya kinulit na magpaliwanag kung ano ba iyon dahil ayaw niya naman sabihin.

Rade and I are getting along very well. I was expecting to meet his weird and grumpy side but I was wrong, the old Rade who's jolly and naughty is back. Pinigilan ko na lang ang sarili ko na tanungin siya kung ano ba talaga ang problema niya. Mas mabuti siguro na maging sanay ako sa ugali niya na pabago bago. Ganoon din naman si Lance. Maybe it's normal for them since natanda na sila?

I enjoyed celebrating Christmas. Dito rin kami for New Year. Si Lance, he told me he's going home to their province, he will also spent his Christmas and New year there.

Three days after Christmas inaya ako ni Rade mag movie marathon, just us two, and I gadly agreed. I texted Lance to inform him I'll do something so I won't be able to reply again. Gusto kong mag focus sa movie since I heard it's great. Nakahiga na ako sa sofa habang inaantay si Rade since he's preparing the popcorn and drinks.

I played the movie when he came in to the theater. Nilapag niya sa mesa ang isang picther ng ice tea at malaking bowl na may popcorn. Nagsalin muna ako ng ice tea sa dalawang baso na mayroong straws.
After that, sumandal na ako at nagsimulang kumain. We're watching a romantic movie.

Sa kalagitnaan ng movie ay naiyak ako. Yung bidang babae ay nagtapat ng kanyang nararamdaman doon sa lalaki. But the guy rejected her, what an asshole! Pagkatapos niyang iparamdaman na mahal niya yung babae, sasabihin niyang hindi niya ito gusto.

Lumingon sa akin si Rade at nagsalubong ang kanyang kilay. He paused the movie at tinignan ako.

"Why are you crying?" He asked.

"Syempre! Nasaktan yung babae. Hindi kaba naaawa sa kanya?" I glare at him.

"It looks like you already experienced that the way cry." He raised his brow.

Ngumuso ako.
"Not yet. But I think one of my friend will experience that." I lied.

"Bakit?" Rade curiously asked.

"Because there's a guy that treats her special. And she likes him already, and uhm.. she's confused."
I blinked two times while wiping my tears.

Rade became interested. "Uhuh? And why is that?"

"She's confused if she should confessed to the guy or not because he might reject her."

Tumango tango si Rade. May multong ngiti sa kanyang labi. Tumingin siya sa ibang direksyon para mag-isip.

Kinakabahan ako. Gusto ko kasing humingi ng advice mula kay Rade. Hindi niya pwedeng malaman na ako ang tinutukoy ko, dahil magagalit siya at isusumbong pa ako sa magulang ko.

Nakatingin lamang ako kay Rade, he suddenly smirked. Para bang may naisip siyang napakaganda. Lumingon siya sakin.

"Tell your friend to confessed her feelings immediately."

"But what if she get rejected?" I bit my lip.

"She should take a risk, Frey. What if the guy likes her too?" He smiled weirdly.

"Eh paano kung hindi?" Tanong ko.

"Always think positive. Hindi mo malalaman kung hindi mo susubukan, Frey." He answered and played the movie again.

"Not me, Rade! Yung friend ko."

"Oh, my bad." He shrugged and continued eating the popcorn.

Napaisip ako. Should I do it?
