Xenon’s POV

Dumating kami sa bahay nila Geline. Mamaya pa naman ang party ni Baby Unice, maaga lang talaga yung usapan naming magkakaibigan.

Pero as usual. Lagi namang ako lang ang nadating sa oras. Lalo na yung si Rose at si Nhel, tsk tsk, palaging late yun.

“Hi Xenon. Buti nakarating ka.” – Florence

“Hello. Nasan bestfriend ko?”

“Pinapatulog si Unice. Sandali, tatawagin ko”

Umakyat si Terrence. Umupo naman kami sa couch.

“Sino yun?” – Yuya

“Si Florence. Kuya ni Geline”

“Bat di mo tinatawag na Kuya?”

Napansin nya yon?

“Iba kasi si Kuya Pray kay Florence. And besides,  di naman nya sinabing tawagin ko syang Kuya unlike your handsome brother”

“Minsan talaga ang gulo mong mag-isip”

O_o? ako? magulong mag-isip?... Fine

“MARENG BESTFRIEND!” si Geline,nagmamadaling bumaba.

“miss you Geline! Muah (kiss), muah (kiss)” and I hugged her tightly.

“miss you too, Xenon! Muah (kiss), muah (kiss)” and she hugged me back

“tulog na si Unice?”

“Yap. Hey? Sino sya?”

“Hi. I’m Hallelujah” extended his hand for a formal greeting. Tinanggap naman ni Geline.

“Ang cute naman ng name mo. Not a Pilipino?”

“half”

“ah. And you’re relation with my bestfriend is?”

“friend”

“ok”

Binulungan pa ko ni Geline.

“Ang gwapo naman ng friend mo”

“Yeah. I know”

Pinaghanda kami ng lunch nung maid nila. Dumating na din yung asawa nya. They’d kiss. Parang wala lang kami. Ahahaha. sila na sweet…

“Hi Xenon. Your boyfriend?” - Marvin

“No. he’s my man-friend. Nearly ‘best’”

“ah”

Pinag-serve ko si Yuya ng food.

“Thank you”

“Always welcome, Yuya”

“Am I not your bestfriend?” – Yuya

“No, you’re not”

“Tss. sama naman. So, we’re just friend lang pala”

“galit na sayo si Hallelujah, ikaw talaga bestfriend” - Geline

“di yan galit. Yan pa.”

“Sige na, kumain lang kayo dyan. Tingnan lang namin yung venue”

“ok bestfriend”

Umalis sila nung asawa nya.

“Di mo ko pinakilala don sa asawa nya.”

“Di kami close.”

“Ilan lang talaga ka close mo noh?”

“Yeah. And you’re one of the closest” I winked
