Faye's POV:

"Faye! Come here hija."

Lumapit ako kay Tita Jessica na kausap si mommy. Mabuti nalang at nasa kwarto nadin niya si kuya Axcel dahil ayoko naman na malaman nito ang plano nila. Namin.

"Do you have any progress with my son, Faye?"

Napatingin ako kay mommy na nakataas ang kilay sa akin. She's giving me a warning look.

"Yes, Tita." I whispered.

"Can you tell me something about it?"

Should I tell them our intimate relationship?

"Ahm...well, I think he's attracted to me. He let me kissed him and we...we always make out."

Ang hirap naman sabihin na nasubo ko na ang anak niya.

"That's good, hija. I knew it. He never introduce me any men. He's not gay. I knew it."

"I think Yasher likes my daughter, Jessica. Alam mo bang nagpunta yon sa bahay kagabi para lang dalhan ng pagkain itong si Faye."

Nagulat si Tita Jessica at agad ngumiti sa sinabi ni mommy.

"You're doing good, hija. Thankyou. Now tell me what you want in return."

Napalunok ako at napaiwas ng tingin. Sa totoo lang ay wala akong maisip dahil parang ayaw ko nang ituloy ang pinapagawa nila sakin.

"She's asking you, Faye." Mommy warned me.

"Just....a penthouse in Le Grande tower, Tita." I whispered.

I hate myself hearing this dahil parang nanghihingi talaga ako ng kapalit.

But I'm already here. Wala nang atrasan dahil pumayag ako at nasimulan ko na.

"That's all?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. I'll give you an expensive car too, Faye."

"That's no need, Tita."

Sobra sobra na yon.

"I insist, Faye. I also promised your mom to invest in your company."

Falling company.

Napangiti si mommy at halatang natuwa sa sinabi ni Tita Jessica. I quickly looked away and bit my lips.

Ewan ko.

Hindi ko matagalan.

"Anyway, Yasher's birthday is coming. Right, Jessica? Do you have any plan already?"

"Ah yes, Amiga. Our family is planning to go back to France."

What?

"For how long, Tita?"

"I don't know yet but maybe a year. Our relatives are even asking to permanently live there. Hindi pa naman sigurado dahil ayaw umalis ni Yasher."

I quickly excused myself and walked towards Yasher's room.

"What happened?"

Tanong agad ni Yasher pagdating ko sa kwarto niya. I quickly lock the door and hug him in his bed.

"Anong sinabi ni mama sayo?"

"Nothing."

Niyakap ko pa siya lalo at pinagmasdan ang naka simangot niyang mukha.

"Ano nga, Paye?"

"She was just....asking me about your upcoming birthday." I reasoned.

Ilang linggo nalang kasi ay Christmas na at yun din ang araw ng birthday niya. December 25.

"Really? She just asked you that? Bakit hindi nalang siya sakin nagtanong?"

"Because she know that you might lie to her if she ask you what you want for your birthday."

"Tss. Wala naman talaga. I already told her that."

Mayaman ang pamilya ni Yasher kaya lagi siyang may malaking regalo na natatanggap sa parents niya every birthdays.

Ang naalala kong binigay sa kanya noon ay kotse, cruise ship, penthouse, condo and even an island.

Hindi pa kasama doon ang makukuha niyang mana.

Kaya nga problemado ako lagi kung anong bibigay sa kaniya as Christmas and birthday gift dahil nasa kaniya na ang lahat.

"Ayaw mo naba magpa party? Gaya nung last birthday mo."

"Not anymore, Paye. I only want a simple celebration with my family and you."

With me?

I smiled as I heard sincerity in his voice. And even if he don't tell me, I know deep inside that he likes me too.

I can feel it.

But I don't want to address it yet because in the end, he'll know the deal. He will definitely hate me. He will doubt my love for him. So you see..

He's just too good for someone like me.

"Your mom also told me that your flying back to France in your birthday."

Sumimangot siya at umiwas ng tingin sakin.

"That's not true. Hindi ako aalis. Naniwala ka naman kay mommy."

"Why don't you want to go?"

"Why would I want to go? My life's here. You're here."

My lips parted and quickly look away.

"What are you thinking?"

Nakakunot ang noo niya sakin at napansin ang pagkaka tahimik ko.

"I'm just thinking what gift I will bought for you."

"There's no need, Paye."

I know.

But I still want to give him something. I want him to feel that what I have for him is real.

"Tell me want you want to receive, Yash."

I demanded as I stare in his handsome perfect face.

"What I want? Anything?"

"Yeah. What do you want?"

"You. To stay with me."

My lips parted when he smiled and gently reached for my hand. He intertwined our fingers.

"I don't know what's happening to me, Faye. I can feel myself changing. It's scaring me but it feels so right. It feels so good to be around you."

Napalunok ako ng makita ang kakaibang tingin niya sa akin. I closed my eyes as he hugged me tighter. He even kissed my forehead.

"Please don't leave me, Faye. Don't give up on me. That's the only thing I wish."
