Larry saw in the mirror that Sam felt awkward around, "Why?" he asked, " Don't you feel better?"
"Oh? O.. oh, nothing."He replied awkwardly.
"You look awkward, right now. What's gotten into you?" Larry asks him again.
Sam smile fakely, "oh, nothing. There's nothing."He replied.
"You look red, does your head hurt so much?"
"Oh, it doesn't. It's b.. better now."He replied, stammering.
"It's already evening, you want to eat dinner?"Larry asks as he sat down beside him.
"Oh, I'm not that hungry yet. How about you? Are you hungry now?"
"Kind of, but I'll wait for you. Let's..
"Nah, you should eat there first. I'm not hungry." Sam forces him to go outside to eat, "Go now. After you eat, go back here."He said.
Suddenly Larry's stomach growled and they looked at each other.
"See? I told you. Go now, eat there. I'll wait for you here." Sam summoned him.
"Ok, then. I'll go back quickly."He replied as he stood up.
"Eat well."
He walks outside to eat his dinner while Sam pulls out the bracelet from his pocket.
"I want to know everything."He said to himself as he stared at it.
A morning came and it's Sunday, Sam and larry were preparing themselves to go to his mom's house.
"Are you finished taking a showering there?"Sam asks from outside.
"Not yet! Just wait for me! Almost done."Larry replied inside the bathroom.
"Ok, then. I'll wait for you on the veranda."Sam said and he walked there.
A few minutes after he takes a shower, Sam is still waiting for him to come out.
"Why didn't he come out? He took so long."He said to himself, "Jeez, that jackass."He cursed and finally Larry came out after he cursed him.
"I'm sorry, i took so long. You wait so long?"He asked sam.
"Oh, yeah! Really so long!"He yelled.
"I'm sorry."Larry replied and he pecked some kiss on Sam's forehead.
Sam stood up as he looked sharply at him. "Go out now! Let's go now. You bring your key?"He asks.
"I forgot my key, Shit."Larry said and he went back inside to take his key.
"Jeez, really! Why didn't you wake up earlier?"He exclaimed as he got pissed off.
Larry ran into him as he gasped, "I'm sorry. Here, my key. Let's go now."He said.
"Lock your door."
"Yeah, I forgot. Let me lock this door again." and larry closes it as he smiles awkwardly.
Sam got pissed off as he sighed deeply, controlling his own temper not to smack Larry's head.
"Let's go now."Larry said and they walked in front of the motorbike, "Here, put it on your head."as he handed the helmet to sam.
"We are not going to ride your motorbike."
"Huh? What? Then how can we get there?" Larry asks as he gets confused.
"Let's take a bus."
He got off his motorbike and he held sam's hand, "Let's go, I'm also tired." saying with a smile on Larry's face.
While they are riding the bus, Sam is watching the view from the window as he is holding Larry's hand. "Look, it's pretty." He said to him.
"Where?" Larry asked and he pointed it. "Yup.. it's beautiful. Look at that house. That big house. We are going to have like that and live together."Larry said to him.
"Are you kidding me? Silly."He replied as he smiled shyly.
"Yeah, I'm not kidding. I will buy a house like that to build a family with you."He said proudly.
"Really?"
"Yep, really. I want to do it when I find some stable job in the future after we graduate."He replied.
He holds Larry's hand tightly as they smile at each other.
"We will do it together."Sam said and he kept watching the view from inside, They enjoyed riding the bus, they made fun of each other and laughed together.
They were still on the bus, waiting to arrive at their destination. Sam suddenly leaned on Larry's shoulder as he closed both his eyes, "Wake me up if we arrive."He said.
"Ok, just take a nap there."Larry replied and he kissed Sam's forehead and he held Sam's hand so tight.
After three hours of riding the bus, they finally arrive at their destination as the bus stopped in front of sam's mom's house.
"Sam? wake up. We're here now."larry said while waking him up slowly.
He woke up as he was scrubbing his eyes gently. "We're here?" He asked while yawning.
"Oh yeah, we've just arrived, stand up there. "larry said, they got off from the bus and they stood up in front of his house gate, He knocked but someone didn't open it and he kept knocking it.
"I didn't expect some would come. Who kept knocking the gate. Some random naughty kids again?" the woman asks when she heard that sound from outside her house. She opened the gate door and She was surprised after she saw her son standing in front.
"Samuel! My son!" She yelled and immediately hugged him.
"I miss you so much mom." He said.
"Oh, larry. You came too, come inside. "She said to them and Larry closed the gate.
"Why haven't you called me?"She asks, while the two are sitting on the sofa.
"I wanted to surprise you."he replied and he giggled.
His mom smacked his head all of sudden and they both got startled, "surprise my ass."She replied. Larry laughed secretly as Sam saw him.
"Why are you laughing huh?" He ask, madly.
"Oh, larry. You still remember me?" She asks.
"Of course auntie, one year has passed and I still remember you."He replied with a smile.
"You got the scholar? Samuel told me before that he helped you."She said and she sat down on another couch, "gosh, my knee is so weak now."
"Yeah, auntie. I got it." He replied awkwardly.
"Really? Good for you." She greets and larry smile shyly. "But, sam said you and he are not friends anymore, you two reconcile to eac-
"Mom! I'm hungry."bSam cutted her words after he heard it coming from his mom's mouth all of sudden.
"What? Are you a shark?"His mom asked him.
"Oh, i'm hungry. Make some snacks for me."He replied.
"Ok, then. I'll leave you two here." and she stood up, walked away and headed to the kitchen.
"What are those words? Continue your mom's words. What does that mean?"Larry asks him.
"Nothing, there's nothing. Stay still, be quiet."Sam replied shyly.
"Give me a kiss."Larry said with his lower voice.
"Are you crazy? We're here in front of my mom."He replied confusedly.
"She's not around here,"
Sam looked around to check if his mom was looking and he gave Larry a quick kiss on the lips.
"Better now? Stay still. You jackass."Sam replied as he smiled shyly.
7:30PM
Sam and larry are sitting on the sofa while talking to each other so close.
"Why are you holding my hand? Maybe your mom will see it."Larry said to him.
"It's ok. She's in the bathroom and-
"Son? You're not hungry yet?"His mom asks him behind their back.
He suddenly lets go of Larry's hand and they act awkwardly.
"Yeah, mom. I'm hungry now, let's cook some dinner."He replied as he stood up immediately as he run to the kitchen.
"What's wrong with him?"She asked larry.
"I don't know either, auntie."he replied awkwardly while looking awkward at Sam's mom.
"What's wrong with you too?" she asks, confusedly.
Philip is preparing for his confession later, he finally got to choose his outfit.
"Jeez, this is it!" He said to himself while looking at the mirror. "I feel nervous right now." As he looks at the wall clock he feels nervous, "why he haven't come? He said he will come here today."
He sat down on the bed while waiting for kairo. Time has passed quickly and it's already two hours of waiting.
"He hasn't come yet. I'll wait for him. One more minute." said to himself.
Suddenly someone knocks on the door and he immediately opens it.
"Let's g..
"Hi, have you seen Samuel?" Another student asks him that lives in a dormitory too.
"Oh, I.. I haven't seen him. Maybe he went back to his relative's house."He replied.
"Ok, then. Thank you for your response, I'll get going now."His schoolmate said and he walked away.
He closes the door as he looks down, "I thought it was him." He said to himself and he sat down again. He looks at the clock as the time runs faster, "He hasn't come yet." He stood up without hesitation and went outside. He got pissed off waiting for someone who can't grant the promise.
"I can do it by myself." He said and he walked madly.
He goes to the flower boutique, he chooses flowers by himself, "Hi, can I take a look at them?"he asks the staff.
"Yes, sir. This is a tulip flower and there's a meaning on it."the staff replied.
"I'm looking for some flowers that can be a confession. Will tulips fit on it?" he asks.
"Yes, totally sir."the staff replied.
"Ok, then I'll take it, How much it's is?"He asks.
"It's 20 dollars."
"Ok, here."He handed the money as he took the flower.
"Good luck for your confession, sir." The staff said.
Philip smiles at her and he walks outside, sniffing the flowers as he sighed deeply that he felt nervous and he went to the cake shop to choose.
"Can I take a mini cake?"He asked.
"It's 15 dollars sir."The man who sells cakes replied.
"Here."philip handed him the money as he took the cake.
"Thank you, come again." The staff said.
Kairo is glancing at the wall clock that he knows he's so late.
"Jeez, it's already late. Does he waiting for me? It's already afternoon."He asked himself. He looked around and he saw so many bodyguards around the house. "Jeez, such in pain. How can I escape here." He looked in the garden and he got an idea. "Bingo." He said as he ran to the garden, "Exactly, I got an idea."He said to himself and he took out his lighter from his pocket, He saw the cardboard behind the statue. He started to flame it and he threw it to the leaves, "Woah! A big surprise."he said and run quickly inside behind the door storage room.
Some maid sniffed the smoke and she followed it. She was shocked by what she saw. "Fire! There's a fire!" she shouted.
All the bodyguards guarding the gate went there. After Kairo saw there's nothing outside, he ran quickly to go outside.
"Yes! Finally! Success!" He said as he covered his mouth.
One maid saw him and she came closer to Kairo.
"What are you doing here outside?"She asks.
Kairo got shocked and he look behind. "I.. I need to go out, I have some appointments to do."He said.
"I'll shout here. Hey!..
He runs into her and he covers the maid's mouth, they hide behind the wall. "Don't ever shout. Please cover me. I need to go out. "kairo said to her as he was begging. "Please."
"But.. Señorita said, you can't leave this house without her permission." She replied.
"I heard your father got sick, I'll double your payment. Just don't tell them about this. Can you agree to that?"kairo asks her.
The maid thought doubtedly as he looked seriously at kairo,"Ok, run faster."the maid said.
"Thank you."He replied and he run far away from his house.
"Hey! There's something wrong there?"another maid asks her.
"Oh, there's nothing wrong here, i'm just t.. threwing some garbage."She replied awkwardly.
Kairo Is running while looking for a cab. "Why are there no cabs here?"He asked while still running until he saw a vacant cab, He immediately ran into it and went inside. He told the address and the driver drove away.
The sun is about to go down and Philip is waiting for Mara to come at the park. He left notes at Mara's door yesterday so that he was waiting for her at the park to confess, Kairo went to the dorm and he knocked on philip's door.
"Hey! I'm sorry! I took so long, Let's go now."He yelled from outside.
"Senior?"another student called him and he turned around, "what?"he asks.
"Why are you here?" His junior asks him.
"Oh, i'm here for philip, But he doesn't open the door."He replied.
"Philip went outside and he hasn't came back yet, What do you want from him, senior?"
"Oh, really? I just want to see him. Something came up with him."kairo replied and he ran away.
He looked around for Philip but he couldn't see him, "Shit, where have you been?"He asks himself as he gasps, "Oh, that place." suddenly came up on his head.
Philip is still waiting for Mara, holding the flower bouquet and the cake as he felt nervous.
"Philip."Mara said.
He turn around and he saw Mara in front of him.
"Mara, you're here."He replied with a nervous smile on his face that couldn't be taken off.
"Did anything come up? Why do you call me here? I saw this note yesterday."She said while Philip stared awkwardly at her.
"Well, here." He handed the flower bouquet, "I ask you to go out with me. I liked you the first time I saw you."Philip said as he closed his eyes because of shyness.
Mara stared pity at him and she was just looking at the flower bouquet, "I'm sorry, but I can't accept your love confession to me. I just considered you just like my closest friend."She replied.
He looked at Mara's eyes directly as he saw those pity stare for him.
"I'm sorry. I can't accept that."Mara said again.
"Oh, right? I'm sorry for disturbing you." Philip replied as he looked down and he quickly hid the flower behind his back.
"I'll leave you here. My mom is waiting for me." She said and she walked away, leaving Philip alone.
He looked down and he accidentally dropped the flower bouquet and the cake. He felt pity on himself, unexpectedly the rain poured out on his head while about to cry because he gave so much effort for everything but it turned out for nothing.
Kairo saw him and he immediately ran into Philip closer. "Hey! What's wrong? Why are you here? It's raining and you don't have any umbrella?``Kairo asked.
Suddenly Philip pushed him away into the ground and Kairo hit his elbow on the rock. "Ouch." He stood up and he looked into Philip's eyes. "Hey, let's go there for now. The rain is pouring so heavy." He said again, holding philip's both arms.
"Leave me alone!"Philip suddenly shouted.
Kairo got startled and he didn't know what he could do, "hey, I'm sorry. But let's get out of here. We are already wet because of the rain."
Philip cries suddenly that he can't hold back the emotion he felt right now , kairo hugs him in the middle of the park while the rain is pouring into their head, "What's wrong? I'm sorry."He said while patting Philip's head, Philip cried out loud as he couldn't control himself anymore.
"It's ok, you can cry."Kairo said again as he felt pity on Philip.
After a few minutes, they are at his dorm. Philip is sitting on his bed, Still looking down and he can't move on from what happened earlier, Kairo went outside the bathroom while drying his hair with the towel, He kneeled in front of him.
"What happened?"Kairo asks.
"I got dumped."He replied.
He hug Philip again to give some comfort, "its ok." as he patted Philip's back.
"Why didn't you come here earlier?"Philip asks him.
"Oh, that thing. I made some mistakes so that my mom won't let me go out in our house."He replied and he smiled.
Philip looked at Kairo's face and he noticed something on it.
"What's wrong on your face?"He asked while touching it.
"Oh, this. My mom slapped me yesterday and it left marks because her ring scratched my face."kairo replied and he smiled again.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you keep smiling in this situation?"
"Because this is nothing. I really can handle this situation."He replied.
Suddenly Philip smacked his head and kairo startled, "you shit. You kept your promise on me yesterday."He said as he got pissed off.
"Ouch, my mom locked me up, she put lots of bodyguards just to guard me."He replied.
"Then, why did you come here?"Philip asked confusedly.
"I escaped, I made another mistake again but it's alright. I'll enjoy it until I go back to hell again."
"You may hurt,"Philip said.
"It's ok, I used to it everyday."He replied and he giggled softly.
"What's wrong with you? You kept saying it's alright but it's totally not fine.. I'm sorry, I pushed you earlier."He added.
"It's nothing. It's alright, I beg to apologise for not making it earlier."kairo replied, "You're still mad at me?"He asked Philip.
"Yeah, really."Philip replied and he smiled.
"You're smiling now, it means you're not mad at me anymore."kairo teased him, "Ok, are you hungry?"He asked.
"Kind of."Philip replied, Kairo looked at the wall clock and he didn't care about the time.
"What if your mom is gonna scold you if you haven't come back there."He said.
"No, it's ok. I can handle everything, I use to eat. Her scolding is just like the ringtone of my alarm clock."kairo replied.
"Are you crazy? What if your dad will hit you?"Philip asks again.
"no, he's with me.. But sometimes when mom poisoned his mind, he beat me up, it's ok. The baseball bat is just nothing on me. It's like a broom."He replied proudly.
"What? A baseball bat? Are they crazy? How can they hit you like that? then why do they like that to you? Do they love you?"Philip said as he got startled.
"Yes, they love me so much. That's why they did that on me."He replied.
"Woah, that's crazy. Are you ok with that? You're just 19 years old. How can they did that to you."Philip said again and he held Kairo's face, Their eyes met and he stared at those eyes without hesitation, "You really ok with it?"He asked again and kairo nodded at him.
"Yups, no need to worry about that."kairo replied proudly.
"Let me give you some comfort. I felt pity on you now."He said as he grabbed kairo's neck to hug him, "You want to cry? Cry if you want. I'm here."He added while patting Kairo's back.
"I don't want to cry, I feel embarrassed if I cry in front of someone."
Philip pulled him back and he held kairo's face as he looked into Kairo's eyes. Suddenly Kairo's tears are falling down while he's smiling and Philip wiped it as he felt pity. "You said you're not going to cry? If they are going to do that again to you, come to me."He said.
"Um, i don't know why they are starting to fall." Kairo replied.
Philip sighed deeply in front of him and he hugged Kairo all of sudden, "You're not ready what will happen later if you get home. Those eyes tell me the truth."He said as he kept patting Kairo's back.
"Thank you."Kairo said in response to Philip's comfort, "By the way, what did Mara do to you?"He asks.
"Oh, she dumped me. She didn't accept my love confession to her because she said that she just considered us as closet friends."philip replied.
"Really? How much is that cake and flower? I'll pay you back. You gave efforts for that but ended up nothing."He said as he was about to take out his wallet.
"No, no. It's ok, that's nothing. I'm ok, now."Philip replied.
"That really ok with you? I know how much you love her."kairo said.
"It's fine now. It's nothing, I'm strong. "He replied as he giggled.
"Should we go out to eat?" kairo asks.
"Could we?" he replied and he smiled.
They stood up and they went outside from his room to look for the food court outside the dormitory.
