Sam's POV

I kissed her, my bestfriend.

Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili when my eyes landed to her lips. Para akong hinihila palapit ng labi nya to kiss her and I did when Mon told me to.

It's already 3 at dawn. Nakatulog na din yung iba naming kasama sa loob ng bahay. But Mon and I decided to stay outside para salubungin yung birthday ko at inabot na nga kami ng ganitong oras. I'm sleepy na rin naman and GrandMa told me not to stay up late but I want to spend more time with Mon alone.

"What's your dream, Mon?" I asked her out of the blue while I'm staring at the dark sky.

"Dream?"

"Yup, I mean, your dream talaga."

"Sam you already know about it. Why do you ask pa?"

"Just answer me..." I turned my head to face her and I smiled.

Mon smiled back at me. "Well, you know that I want to be a Model and a singer someday. I want to go to the other countries and make my own name to the whole world." She said dreamily as her eyes glow in an excitement. She looked at me. "What about you? Gusto mo pa din bang ituloy ang business ng Grandmother mo?"

I shook my head.

"May bago ka ng gusto?"

"Maliban sayo, wala na." I let out a soft giggles which I earned a soft slap by Mon. "What?" I asked laughing.

Her face is turning red again. Ang dali nya talaga 'tong asarin.

"Ayusin mo naman. Tsaka hindi ka talaga pwedeng magkagusto sa iba! You want me to punch you ha?"

I laughed hard. "Easy, Mon."

"Tell me na, what's your dream pala?" She asked seriously.

I smiled to her. "I want to go to the other countries and watch you touring around the world. I want to be your personal photograhper once you become a model. I want to hear you singing your own song. I want to see you pursuing your dream and make it come true. I want to be your number 1 fan, Mon."

I said as I looked away from her gaze.

'I want to be by your side when that time comes.' I added, pero sa isip ko nalang.

"Why are you crying?" Hindi ko namalayan na may tumulo na palang luha sa mga mata ko.

I shook my head. "N-nothing. Inaantok na ako eh. Let's go inside?"

She nods her head and we stood up as we makes our way to our room. But before we step inside, I grabbed her to her hand and I cupped her both cheeks.

I moved my head closer to hers and I kissed her one more time.

I pulled away from the kiss and she smiled. "Happy Birthday, Sam."

"Neung!" I called my sister when I saw her at the living room with my friends. I ran towards her and jumps to her for a hug. "You came."

"Ofcourse. It's your day. I need to come and see how's our little one doing. Happy birthday to you." She said sweetly as she tightened her hug even more. "How are you?" She whispered and her voice sounds worried.

Well, I can't blame. Hindi talaga okay ang pakiramdam ko this past few days and I'm sure that Grandma told her about my condition.

"I'm fine, Neung." I pulled away from the hug. "Look at me. I'm still alive- ouch, Neung."
