I smile here. "Yeah."
"Tomorrow I have a meeting in Batangas. So later. We're going somewhere. You want that, don't you?" He said. He always spoiled me.
"I just want a simple birthday." I said .
He held my hand he looked at me. I noticed that his eyes were red.
I frowned. "Ezekiel is there a problem?"
He shook his head and kissed my hand. "I love you."
My chest ached. There is no other noise inside but our breath and words.
"I love you Ezekiel. You are important to me as a friend." I have said it wholeheartedly.
He smiled and nodded. "Can I kiss you for the last time?" He suddenly asked.
"Huh?"
He bit his lip. "Today is your birthday and today I will l-let y-you g-go."
My chest heaved when I got what it meant.
"Zeke! We're best friends aren't we?"
