Chapter 16: Color of Love

"-There is this saying that states that 'Love can conquer all", so is it safe to say that love should not have boundaries? That as long as you love someone, you can be free? If yes is the answer, we can therefore conclude that associating it with a single color (which is red) is not enough to describe it. Maybe some of us are right, that the color of love is rainbow, unbound with a single color, that it has many forms. Or maybe love should be white, a combination of all colors and a symbol of purity. Maybe we can't associate love with colors because one thing is for sure, love should be felt by everyone and should be felt to anyone. –Henry"

Two days have pass since Henry watched the footage of Zane. It bothers him too much that he can't sleep properly for the past days. He has so many things that he wanted to say to his best friend but he just can't find a good opportunity because it is either, Jayce and Ritmo is always around or they both have a very different schedules. He's been too busy handling the problem of their club alone and Zane is too occupied since he was assigned to create a new lyric for the music club. It bothers him, seeing Zane act normally and it makes him puzzled.

Today is Saturday, the day of Zane's party. Henry was instructed to come at Zane's place at exactly 5:30 p.m., since the party will start at 6. He doesn't have anything to do for the whole day but still, he woke up early; maybe because he is hungry or because of the fact that he is still thinking about his best friend falling in love with him. Henry is just staring at the ceiling for almost an hour while still lying on his bed.

"Is he ok? Why is he acting normally if he loves me? He should be hurt right?"

Henry asked himself, still doesn't know if he should be worried about Zane.

"Maybe he is not that serious. But why would he cry like that?"

Henry added. He can't sense any sadness with Zane and it makes him ask himself if his friend is just pretending to be ok or he is already over with what he feels.

"Maybe he is over with his feelings? But isn't too fast?"

He again said making him toss and turn on his bed, feeling annoyed because he fails to find answers to his questions. He was about to spend another hour on his bed but his stomach started to rumble, and that is when he remembered that he is hungry. He sighed as again, he feels the burden of going up this morning. He immediately head to the living room, specifically at the sofa where he left his phone last night. He started to dial a number of a restaurant, for him to order delivery food. He's been doing this since the three of his friend left him alone in his condo unit, and actually he does not like it. He felt empty and sad every time he eats alone on his wide table. He was about to call but Zane texted him

___________________________________________

From Zane:

Make sure to arrive here at exactly 5:30; that is the call time for everyone so you better not be late.

__________________________________________

As soon as he read the text message, an idea came up on his mind.

"Is this means that he is alone in his place right now? Maybe this is my chance to talk to him."

Henry said to himself. He quickly goes back to his room to prepare, he immediately take a bath. Not an hour has past and he is ready to leave. Luckily he was able to borrow his parent's car last Wednesday, making it easier and quicker for him to arrive at Zane's condo.

On the other hand, Zane is now preparing all the materials needed in decorating his living room, since it will be the venue of his party.
