JHAIL

-AFTER THREE YEARS-

Kasabay ng pagtunog ng alarm clock ay ang malakas na bosis ni Reve na syang gumising sa buong diwa ko.

"WAKE UP LAZY HEAD!" ang malakas na sigaw nya sa tenga ko.

Napabalikwas ako ng bangon at agad na tinakpan ang taenga na parang nabingi dahil sa kanya.

I glared at him. "The heck Reve?!" inis na singhal ko na tinawanan nya lang.

"You look cuter with your morning face." he complimented. I blushed, isinawalang-bahala ko nalang ang sinabi nya, it's been three years and I know Reve that well. I know he was just saying what his eyes saw.

Nagpalinga-linga ako sa paligid. I took a glance on my sliding window and notice that the sun haven't even shown yet! Anong oras pa nga ba? At bakit nandito ang lalaking ito sa kwarto ko para mambulabog ng ganito kaaga?

"A-Ano bang ginagawa mo dito?!" singhal ko ulit.

He smiled. "You forgot? It's April 24!" nakangiting pasabi nya. Why's he so radiant this time? He's being weird.

"And what's with April twentyfou---"

"Oh wait.." putol nya sa itatanong ko at mabilis na tiningnan ang kanyang wrist watch. "Fúck! it is 4 minutes late dámn it." inis na bulong nito na narinig ko naman. Agad syang lumabas ng kwarto ko nang hindi man lang nagpaalam.

Tss, what's with him? nakashabú ba sya? Hays nevermind, nawala na rin ang antok ko thanks to you Reve. Thanks to you. Please note the sarcasm.

I climbed out of bed and was about to turned the lights on but I halted when someone barged into my door. Based on the dim light the lamp managed to reach, the man who just rushed entering my room is no other than my housemate, well he's the owner of the house to be exact, it's Reve.

"What the héll Reve?!" sigaw ko. "You're acting weird, ano bang nangyayari?" naguguluhang tanong ko.

He walk towards my distance. Hinahangos pa rin sya nang bigla nyang iharap sakin ang box na dala nya.

"This day is the 21st year you've been born from your mom's womb. I am wishing you the best of the best prince of Russia Jhail Nikolai Ivanov. May the wish of your heart be fulfilled and all the good things will be given onto you." he breathed. "Happy birthday Jhail." He smiled.

I couldn't say a word. Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin. Yes, it's been three years of knowing him and I'm pretty sure I know him very well. Hindi sya mahilig mag-effort, hindi rin sya thoughtful. But looking back, we always celebrated my birthdays together. It's just that.. this day, parang nag-eefort na yata sya? What the fúck is going on with him? Ganito ba talaga sya? Is this this the other of him that he only showed just now? Hindi rin sya nagwiwish para sa akin noon, but now.. should I continue assuming? yeah right, hindi naman ako tumigil mag-assume eh.

"Ohh wait.." he hold the box of cake with his one hand while fishing something on his pocket. "Thanks God, it's here." ngumiti sya at sinindihan ng lighter ang birthday candles.

"W-What.." still unable to form a words on my mouth so I decided to just shut up.

"You'll just watch it till the candles melt?" tanong nya na parang na-offend.

I flinched. "R-Right." I murmured my wishes and then blew the candles. "T-Thank you Reve. Thank you." naluluhang bulong ko.

He putted the cake on the bedside table and then hugged me. "It's just a simple act though haha. Not a big deal, don't be too emotional." sabi nya habang hinahagod ang likod ko.
