"What?" I tried keeping myself calm pero sa totoo lang... Lahat ng ito unexpected, lahat ng ito hindi ko inasahan, no, never. But how? Kendric... Kendric is the last person to say yes sa lahat ng mga bagay na gusto kong gawin. Pero ngayon... How did it happen that he's accepting my plan?

Kung tutuusin ginawa ko ang planong ito para sirain sila ni Celine. Dahil naisip ko na kung magkakalayo sila at mawawalan sila ng connection, isama mo pa yung pagpapahirap ko kay Celine, kung mangyayari lahat ng iyon ay magbabago ang pakikitungo nila sa isa't isa at malaki ang chance na mauwi sila sa break up. All of that might happen but why is he saying yes to this?

"I already decided. Hindi mo na ako kailangang piliti—"

"Why?" I cut him. Hindi ko talaga ma-explain ang nararamdaman ko ngayon, sobrang lakas na ng kabog ng dibdib ko at naguguluhan na rin ako sa inaasta niya. It just made him mysterious ten times more than how he was before. Hindi kaya... Nag away sila?

"Why?" Ulit niya sa tanong ko. Tumayo siya at hinawakan ang railings habang tinatanaw ang view. "I just thought about giving it a chance."

Giving what? He will give chance to who? Me?

"Sigurado ako marami nang tanong ang bumabalot dyan sa utak mo ngayon. I'm willing to answer everything, Lianna. But not now."

Umikot siya at tinitigan ako, then he started walking towards me. "I just thought about... Giving it a try. Kasi, wala naman sigurong mawawala diba? Except for my girl." He laughed slightly.

"Nagpapaawa ka ba?" Sobrang naguguluhan kong tanong. That's not sarcasm anymore, it's already confusion.

He stood in front of me. "No." Paninigurado niya. "May sinasabi sila na... Love is about taking risks, na kung gusto mong sumaya, kailangan mo munang sumugal. Para maitatak natin sa utak nating hindi lahat ay pwede nating makuha. Love is about taking risks, but if it doesn't work out, then siguro hindi para sayo ang isang bagay na iyon. Kahit pa pinaghirapan mo ito."

The light of the shining moon helped me see his sweet smile, at inilahad niya ang kanyang kamay sa harap ko.

"Let's do those things. Let's try taking risks, let's try to show our best towards each other. Maybe... Just maybe, pagdating sa huli maging worth it lahat."

I don't know what to do. Bumaba ang tingin ko sa kamay niyang naghihintay na abutin ko ito, bakit bandang huli, ako ang naguguluhan? Bakit bandang huli, ako yung nawawala? Bakit parang ako na ngayon ang natatakot?

He said we'll try. We, hindi lang ako kundi kaming dalawa. At nangangako siyang gagawin niya ang lahat, he's giving me his word that he'll try to do his best.

I bit my lip from nervousness. Kinakabahan ako sa hindi ko malamang dahilan, but my hand slowly made it's way to his.

Taking risks. Going on with the flow, doing what you think is right, ready to get hurt, and of course, one who will take risks should not regret anything at the end. Is that what taking risks means?
