Kiefer's POV

"Ravena, can you please be here with me right now? I want to tell you what's going on in my mind right now. I feel like exploding kapag hindi ko nasabi 'to. I want to cry but I'm not used to cry when you're not with me, when I'm not with the person who used to 'shooshoo' my tears away when I cry, with you whom I used to lean on with"

Pagtapak na pagtapak ko sa roof top ng tambayan namin ni Ly, mga salitang 'yan agad ang narinig ko.

Gusto ko syang lapitan para pagalitan dahil umalis na naman sya ng sya lang mag isa lalo na't gabi na, but my body got stuck on where I am standing and it looks like I have nowhere to go. Gusto ko lang muna syang pakinggan. I know she has a problem and I need to find out what it is without asking. Gusto ko kapag nakita nya 'ko, hindi nya na kakailanganing mag kwento .. yayakapin ko nalang sya.

"I know you don't like cry cry so I'm sorry. I'm sorry also if I'm disobeying you of not going anywhere kapag walang kasama sa gabi. Sorry pero feeling ko kasi ito yung kailangan ko. I don't know what's happening with you right now Kief, I don't even know where you are. I really have no idea. That's why I needed to come here para naman kahit papaano gumaan yung kalooban ko"

Ly, I'm just here .. Right here waiting for you.

When will you see my efforts?

When will you realize that I am head over heels over you?

"I miss you sungit"

Pagkasabi nya nun, rinig kong lumakas yung iyak at hikbi nya na hindi kagaya kanina, tinitiis pa niya.

Kung alam mo lang Alyssa kung gaano ko kagustong makasama ka sa bawat segundo ng buhay ko. If you just know how much I miss you and how much I wanted to run and hug you from where I am standing right now. If you just know ..

Nagsimula na 'kong maglakad at lalapitan na sana sya nang magsimula ulit syang magsalita ..

"Kief, should I choose to keep our friendship last .. instead of letting you know that I want you to be my other half? Should I sacrifice our friendship? Another thing, I am afraid. Natatakot akong magmahal muli at natatakot akong mahalin ang isang taong kaibigan lang ang tingin sakin. Kief ang hirap. Nahihirapan ako. Sobra"

Wala akong ibang reaksyon kundi ang pagkagulat sa mga naririnig ko mula kay Ly.

Seriously?

All this time? I thought I'm the only one who's having a hard time thinking of what may happen if ever I tell to Ly what I feel about her.

Actually, I came here to think, think about everything to make my life easier but this ain't what I expected. I never thought of this. I never thought that it'll come my way as easy as 123.

"RAVENA! MAHAL KITA PERO MAKITA LANG KITA TATAPON ULIT SA'YO YUNG LIMAMPUNG PIRASO NG MIKASA SA GYM"

Sigaw niya habang patuloy pa din sa pag iyak.

Halos maiyak na 'ko sa tuwa pero hindi ko hinayang maiyak ako ngayon. I'm gonna make this night for Alyssa.

"Talaga ba Ly? Sige na nga. Aalis nalang ulit ako" I said while crossing my arms on my chest, causing her to look at her back and know where's that voice coming from.

Mas dumami yung tulo ng mga luha nya nung nakita niya ako. Umiiyak lang sya habang nakatingin sakin mula sa di kalayuan.

"What are you doing? Aren't you gonna hug me?" Mangiyak ngiyak nitong tanong. Believe me, she's so cute. "You are supposedly running towards me and hugging me, but no. Don't you miss me?" Sobrang natawa ako sa kanya pero tiniis ko, masisira momentum.
