Grant never thought that he would sing one of his movie's theme songs. but here he is now, inside the recording booth and now listening to the producer's guide on how to sing his part.

"Okay, let's try now" Grant sighed deeply before closing his eyes to feel the rhythm of the song.

Forever, I want it to be forever

Our memories will stay ever

Cherish the life of our youth

in our life with our whole heart

Friends are always there

friends will always be there

friends will never leave you

because what you have as friends.

He opened his eyes, there, Grant saw Oriel looking at him intensely. There is silence in the whole room. No one backed down from looking into each other's eyes not until the producer decided to break the silence.

"You're really a great singer Grant. You did a great job" Grant thanked the producer before going out of the record booth.

"thank you" he thanked the producer again, offering his hand for a hand shake. The producer went out to go to the bathroom. He faced Oriel, who's now looking at him. 

"never thought you have a great voice" the younger rolled his eyes at what Oriel said. Since they started filming, they started to become close. They talk a lot on the set and there are a few nights out together with their co-actor.

"Are you going to record?" He asked Oriel after sitting down on the couch.

"No. I just came by." Oriel asks him and sits beside him.

"Miss me that much?" he teases the older. One of the things that they become comfortable with is teasing each other. Grant called Oriel, Oldie, while Oriel always calls him Dwarfie.

"Too confident. I had an hour break so when I heard you are recording I just thought to spend my break annoying you, dwarfie" he was the one who started teasing the older but he was also the first one to get irritated.

                                                                            Grant's Point of View

"That's why Aleen always sulks. She said you always find other things to do when you are bored instead of contacting her ''I scolded Oriel. I saw how he shook his head and leaned back on the couch.

"I'm thinking of ending our relationship " I look at him instantly after hearing the word 'ending'. he also looks at me without any remorse.

"What the fuck, Oriel?!" I can't utter any words other than a curse. He just drop the bomb without any warning.

"Our setup is not working anymore. When she's busy, I am free. When I am busy, she's free. Do you think we will work on that set up?" he asked like it is a matter of fact.

"You love each other!" I know, I am exaggerating but for the last three month of our 'friendship', I saw how they took care of each other. In fact sometimes I wish I also have someone who will love me and take care of me like how they did those things.

"Honestly, I have been doubting our relationship for almost a year now. As the time goes by, I become less guilty of not contacting her. Yes, I do care for her. She's been my friend for a long time before she became my girlfriend. Last week, I realized that the sparks that we had throughout our relationship suddenly disappeared. I don't have a definite reason why I wanted to end our relationship but it is better to end now because if we keep this relationship, we may hurt each other. " I am speechless. I don't know what to say. Oriel was the type of guy who is not comfortable talking about his thoughts and private life but right now? I saw him as a guy who wanted to validate his thoughts and feelings.
