"Nandito ka lang pala."

Kaiden smiled as soon as he saw me na nakaupo sa ilalim ng puno. I smiled at him and gave him a sign to sit down beside me. Nandito kaming dalawa sa isang bundok ngayon, and tonight was night already.

I don't know but everytime Kaiden was here, it feels like I am safe because he was here. It feels at peace when ever he was around.

I know, I am a gay. Tanggap ko na 'yon. Matagal ko nang gusto ang best friend ko. But the question is... tatanggapin niya kaya ang nararamdaman ko para sakaniya.

I smiled when he sat down beside me. I rested my head on his shoulder, hindi na big deal sa amin ito. I smiled again as I stated at the moon.

"The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" I told him, that was never a question, but a confession. I hope he understood.

He smiled. "Yes."

Ah, that was annoying. He doesn't know what I mean by that! Pero hayaan na lang natin. It was better off this way.

"You didn't know anything about that?" I asked him, laughing.

"Huh? What do you mean?" He seemed confused.

"Wala," umiling ako. "Valentine's day bukas, ano'ng gagawin mo?" I changed the topic instead.

"Right, I'm going to confess my feeling towards my crush. Can you help me?" He said. Ouch, that... hurts.

I bit my lower lip, papalabas na naman ang luha sa mata ko. When it came out, I wiped it quickly using my hands. Alam kong wala akong chance na magustogan ni Kaiden, but it was all... fine.

But was it really fine for my heart?

"Okay... if that's what you want. I can do anything for you." I smiled at him, a painful one.

"Okay, thank you." He chuckled. "And you, what are you going to do?" He asked.

"I guess I'll confessed to my crush too?" I don't know what to say. Syempre, siya ang crush ko.

"Sige, tulongan kita!" He offered.

"No need, kaya ko ang sarili ko. Hindi ako tulad mo na weak! Magpapasama ka pa!" I teased. Tumawa lang din naman siya. "Seryoso, sino nga ulit crush mo?" I asked.

"Wine," he smiled. His feelings was so transparent because of his smile. Wow, he really likes this girl thay much, huh? "Bakit ba?" He turned his head on me.

Inalis ko ang ulo ko sa balikat niya. "Wala naman, just wanna know her name." I told him. Tumayo na ako sa kinauupoan ko at pinagpagan ang pang-upo ko. "Tara na, 7 na pala. Hinahanap na ata ako."

"Hinahanap ka na nga, e. Kaya nga ako narito," sabi nito sa 'kin. "Hala ka, kasuk-an na pod ka ba."

"Sus, bahala na," sabi ko sakaniya at bumaba na ng bundok.

This mountain I just climbed wasn't that far away from our home. Mga 300 meters away lang ata? Ah, basta, malapit lang. I can even see our home above there kung umaga lamang, sa gabi rin naman dahil sa ilaw.

"Oy, antay!" Tawag niya sa akin.

Huminto naman ako sa paglalakad at hinintay na siya. Dala-dala pa niya nag cell phone niya para flashlight. Ewan ko ba, but he told me that he is afraid of the dark.

Nang makalapit na siya sa 'kin, inakbayan niya uli' ako. "Sasamahan kita sa bahay niyo, para hindi ka mapagalitan."

"Sige," sabi ko rin. Medyo kinakabahan kasi ako.

When we arrived, napatingala ako kay Kaiden na nakaakbay pa rin sa 'kin. I wanted to tell him that I was scared, but it seems like he knew my feelings. Nginitian niya ako. I don't know, but my heart skipped a beat.
