Kamot sa batok lang din ang nagawa niya at yumuko. Napangiti ako. Akala ko, ako lang ang makakatikim ng sermon. Siya rin pala. "Wala naman po akong ginawang masama, Uncle. I'm just trying to be friendly here. Malay ko ba naman na warfreak pala 'yang best friend ng pinsan ko," gigil nitong sabi. "Trying to be friendly? Talaga? Iba ang pagiging friendly sa pagiging bastos!" sabat ko.

Sila lang naman ang maaaring magkaintindihan, ‘di ba? Mas okay na rin siguro ito, at least ay magkakasundo sila ng lalaki dahil iisa lang ang hangarin nila. “Friends,” marahang ulit n’ya bago ito tumingala at ngumiti sa lalaki. “Let’s be friends, yeah. That’s a great idea.”

To the most beautiful friend of mine, Happy Birthday! Hopefully, bigyan mo ng pagkakataon at basahin ang sulat ko.

“Sorry, wala lang ako sa mood. Gusto ko lang mapag-isa muna. Nag alala ka ba?” Tumango ako, hindi naman ako galit.

Tumingin naman siya sa gawi ko. “Make friends, Cean. Real friends. That can help you build who you are and what you want you to be and of course, be in love. To someone who's willing to be with you through your ups and downs. Walang masama sa pakikipagkaibigan at pakikipag-relasyon, Cean. Matalino kang bata, Cean. Kaya as a reward to yourself, open yourself to others.” I'm speechless because of what he said. Stunned. Composing phrases on my mind.

I'm giving you the chance to change my mind that you’re not like my past friends.

“It’s okay ate Azyl. Thank you ate Zebe.” “Ito sakin bata. Happy birthday.” “Thank you ate Azyl. By the way, why are you with them, bestfriend?” “Ah! Nakipagfriend lang ako sa kanila. Alam mo naman friendly ako. Hehehehe.” “Really? Can I know them? All of them? Can I call them kuya too?” “Huh? Sila ate Zebe at ate A-Azyl lang kinakaibigan ko. Di makapal mukha ko eh.”
