Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year.
But for Michael, it isn't.

"Oh. Someone died?"
I can't paint my own expression when Holly greeted us with that question the moment she entered their humble home. She was in the act of removing her shoes in the doorway but she already saw whatever thing she saw in me. Abel just bursted a loud laugh in the corner.
Holly rolled her eyes when no one answered her but the way Abel reacted already told her that there is nothing serious. I just found myself taking the path to this little creepy but warming home earlier. Abel had this wide eyed expression when he opened the door because yeah, this is definitely a surprise.
It wasn't for Holly though.
She just arrived like that as if it is normal for me to be here. This is the second time I've been here including the night when they took my unconscious self in this abode after their unsuccessful attempt of doing something they don't really want to do.
"Good boy here is brokenhearted."

"He is?" Holly engaged in a concerned but teasing tone while having a glass of water in the kitchen.
"He is!"
"Don't listen to him." I groaned as I wiped my face with my palms and rested my back on the couch even the silly spring is poking me.
Even I'm not looking, I just know that Holly and Abel exchanged a silent conversation for Abel to spill the beans.
"I didn't know that Michael has someone." Holly joined us here in the living room and sat beside Abel.
This time, my sight is revealed but I have this unmotivated look in me. I just don't want to move anymore because nothing is making any sense.
"I thought you don't have a girlfriend."
"He has." Abel answered for me even it doesn't have any sprinkle of truth at all. "Angel. Angel, was it?" He squinted his eyes to question but I didn't answer. "There is this woman that I found out he is calling by that name. Angel."
