Eithan's POV

I remember the face of Klein's house. In fact, I always stay outside his whenever he goes back from school while I'm looking like a freaky stalker watching and protecting him without even noticing me.

"Tara, Eithan, pasok na tayo." Klein said as soon as he open the door.

This is the first time that I've been into their small home.

"Pasensya ka na, Eithan, hindi 'to kasing ganda ng bahay mo ah?" Klein jokingly said.

"I'm fine, Klein, don't worry about me. Ano pala 'yung nakalimutan mo dito?" I asked.

Klein didn't answer but he went to the wardrobe as he tried to check inside.

He tried opening each cabinet from the wardrobe looking for something while I'm watching him and sitting on a sofa from a distance.

"Ayun! Nakita ko na!" Klein said as he sounds so excited and I saw him holding a notebook and hid it inside his bag.

"Anong nakita mo, Klein?" I asked him.

"Secret walang clue!" he jokingly answered.

Afterwards, he sat beside me and said, "Eithan... pwede ba kitang yakapin muna?"

I nodded and smiled at him since I always wanted this.

Klein gently hugged my body and he closed his eyes.

"Ang sarap... nakakarelax." he uttered while he's about to fall asleep, "Eithan..."

"Bakit, Klein?"

"Kamusta ka na?" he suddenly asked.

"Why are you asking me that? Magkasama lang tayo palagi ah?" I asked.

"Kasi lagi mo sa akin tinatanong kung anong gusto ko or anong kailangan ko. Eh ako hindi kita madalas natatanong kung okay ka lang ba. Kung anong gusto mo or kailangan mo." Klein answered.

"I'm more than okay, Klein. I'm happy." I answered with a faint smile.

"Eithan... anong oras na?" Klein asked.

"It's 5:30 p.m." I answered.

Klein stood up and hinila niya ako patayo, "Tara, manood tayo ng sunset sa seaside gaya ng ginagawa nila Klein and Edilberto!" he said while smiling brightly.

"Sure, Klein. I'd be more than happy to." I answered and we went to the same old place where Klein and I used to meet to watch the sunset everyday.

As soon as we got there, It felt so nostalgic as it's been a long time since I've been to this place.

The smell of the surroundings, the cold breeze, the peaceful sight, and the lights in the place that's starting to lit up one by one.

We sat down on the most perfect spot where we can cherish it again just like the old times.

"Eithan, talikod ka." Klein asked and I think I know what he's up to.
