Gico's POV

Ngayon 'yong last simbang gabi, nakumpleto namin nina Paige, Sharine at Adrie ang simbang gabi, ngayon ko lang nasama si Rica kasi nagpilit siya, ayaw ko sana talaga siya isama kasi baka matagtag siya e makulit siya, gusto niya talaga sumama.

"God's grace brings salvation to all and shines on our world tonight." Sabi nung pari.

"Hala ingles." Sabi naman ni Paige na nasa tabi ko.

"This grace is divine love that changes lives, renews history, liberates from evil, fills hearts with peace and joy. This love is revealed to us as Jesus." Pag-eexplain pa nung pari.

"Ano si Grace at Divine?" Tanong ni Paige sa akin.

Napayuko na lang ako at napatawa sa pinagsasabi ni Paige.

"In a world where everything seems to be about giving in order to get, God comes down freely. His love is non-negotiable" dagdag pa nung pari.

"Nako, pati ba naman dito may negotiable instruments." Dagdag pa ni Paige.

"Paige, makinig ka nga lang." Sabi ni Adrie na natatawa din kay Paige.

Naalala ko si Rosena dahil sa homily nung pari, okay lang sa kanya lahat kahit wala naman siyang makukuha para sa sarili niya. Nakakamiss talaga siya. Nakakamiss siyang asarin.

Nung Our Father na, napansin kong kinikilig si Rica, paano e hawak niya sa kabilang kamay ang kamay ni Adrie.

Itong buntis na ito, ang laki-laki na ng tiyan ang landi pa rin. Wooh Christmas Eve ngayon, Christmas Eve ngayon.

Pagkatapos namin magsimba, umuwi muna kami para magpahinga sa kanya-kanya naming mga bahay. Pagkauwi namin, binuksan ko ang gift para sa akin na galing kay Ros. Mug na may pangalan ko, panyo na may pangalan ko rin, at 'saka letter.

"Dearest Gico,

As the holidays approach, I find myself reflecting on the incredible bond we share. Our friendship may be filled with teasing and playful banter, but beneath it all, I cherish the unwavering support you offer me. This holiday season, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and to celebrate the remarkable person you are.

I have witnessed the caring and kind-hearted nature you possess, and it is clear to me that these qualities will make you an exceptional father to your child-to-be. Your unique ability to effortlessly bring laughter and joy to those around you will undoubtedly create a warm and loving environment for your little one.

Furthermore, I cannot help but admire the way you handle relationships. Your loyalty, understanding, and unwavering commitment will make you an incredible partner. I have no doubt that you will continue to embody these traits as you embark on this new chapter of your life.

On this joyous occasion of the holiday season, let us celebrate the beautiful future ahead. May your days be spent in love, laughter, and infinite happiness.

Lagi mong tatandaan na kamukha mo si Jollibee. Jk. Isa ka sa pinakamatitinong kaibigan na lalaki na mayroon ako, alam ko magiging mabuting partner at ama ka. Keep on being yourself.

With love, always,
Rosena"

Si Rosena naman, nagpapaiyak.

Rica's POV

"Rica,

Nagsimula bilang isang magulong koneksyon na puno ng mga hindi pagkakaunawaan at hindi pagkakasundo ang pagkakaibigan natin. Ngayon naging tunay na talaga tayong magkaibigan-a bond I am truly grateful for.

I am writing this letter to not only express my wishes for this joyous time but also to acknowledge the remarkable journey you are embarking on as a mother-to-be. It fills my heart with warmth to witness this incredible milestone in your life.

Nandito lang ako palagi para sa inyo. Mag-iingat kayo palagi.

With love, always,
Rosena"

"Bbq, look mo letter ni Rosena sa akin oh." Sabi ko kay Gico na kasalukuyan din palang umiiyak dahil sa letter ni Ros.

"Bakit naman bbq tawag mo sa akin, ginawa mo naman akong porkchop." Biro ni Gico.

Paige's POV

"Paige qt,

I hope this letter finds you in good spirits and filled with laughter, as I know you always are. The holiday season is upon us, and I couldn't resist sending you a heartfelt message. As our dearest friend, you bring so much joy and humor to our lives, even in the most serious situations.

Looking back at all the times we've shared together, I can't help but smile at the countless antics and laughs you've brought into our friend group. Your infectious sense of humor has a way of transforming any mundane moment into a hilarious adventure. Whether it's your quick wit, clever one-liners, or outrageous pranks, you always manage to brighten our days.

During this holiday season, I am filled with gratitude for your genuine friendship and the comic relief you bring to our lives. Your ability to find humor in the darkest of moments is a true gift, reminding us to not take life too seriously. It's a testament to your remarkable spirit and the strength of our friendship.

As we gather with loved ones and celebrate, I want you to know how much you mean to me and our entire friend group. Your funny antics have created bonds and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for being the comedic genius that you are and for constantly reminding us to find laughter even in the toughest of times.

Wishing you a holiday season filled with laughter, joy, and endless comedic moments.
Google Translate mo kung hindi mo maintindihan. Basta ayun.

With love, always,
Rosena"

"Anu daw?" Napatanong na lang ako sa hangin pagkatapos ko basahin ang letter na binigay ni Rosena sa akin kasama ng mug na may pangalan ko, at panyo na may pangalan ko rin.

'De naintindihan ko naman.

Slight.

Sharine's POV

"Te Sharine,

Pagbigyan mo na akong mag-Ate kahit ako ang mas matanda. Although we may not be the closest of friends, our paths have crossed numerous times, and I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your continuous support. It is admirable how you have always managed to balance the joys of your relationship while still being there for others.
