Hindi ko talaga inaasahan na aabot sa ganito kasi noon gusto ko lang talagang magsulat ng ganitong story. I didn't mind if I have few readers, what important is I'm writing and enjoying it. Kaya thank youuu so much! I promise to be better so I can properly share my thoughts to all of you. Thank you!

Xerox's POV
                          
"Are you serious?" si Kuwai sa akin na parang hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi ko. 
                          
I smirk. I got him there. I knew so bad that this is his weakness. To confess his love in front of another person. 
                          
I never saw Kuwai so vocal and expressive. I am still wondering how he makes Raiven fall for him? Paano? Kasi nakakapagtaka. He's cold as stone and dark as the end of the ocean so how could he... make Raiven have feelings for him?
                          
Nakuha niya ba sa salita? Sa itsura niya? O sa ugali niya? But the first one is impossible. Raiven won't never fall for that petty reason. Kaya nakakapagtaka kung paano niya nakuha ang loob ni Raiven. Kung hindi nga iyon nagkagusto sa kahit na sino sa amin noon. Sa ugali rin hindi, she even hate Kuwai's personality... so how? 
                          
Kahit siguro kay Zillah hindi niya ito magagawang gawin. He is his bestfriend but Kuwai is still not also vocal on him. Kahit na alam ko, suportadong suportado naman ni Zillah ang mokong na 'to. 
                          
Humalukipkip ako. 
                          
"I thought you're sincere huh? Why can't you confess how you love her in front of me?" sabi ko at kumislot ang labi. I saw him gritted his teeth. Hindi ko alam kung ginawa niya ba dahil hindi niya kayang gawin ang pinapagawa ko o naiirita lang talaga sa akin ngayon. 
                          
"Kung hindi mo kaya... hindi ka sinsero kung ganoon. Kung pag-amin pa lang takot---" agad niya akong pinutol sa pagtikhim niya. Nag-iwas siya ng tingin sa akin at tumuwid ng diretso. 
                          
"I love her." he said in his serious tone. He look at the chair beside mine, like he can see Raiven sitting there. His eyes softened a bit.
                          
"I've never want anything before as how I want her now." seryoso ang tinig niya pero may pagkalumanay ngayon. Bumalik ang seryoso kong ekspresyon dahil roon. 
                          
"I want her badly. I want to own her mine. So bad." he said in his low tone, at hindi ko alam kung bakit humina ang tinig niya. Parang may malalim bigla siyang iniisip at bahagyang kumunot ang noo ko roon. 
                          
"Paano mo siya mamahalin kung hindi mo naman alam kung paano?"  I ask him. His expression become more serious as he raised his gaze and look straight on my eyes now. 
                          
"This is the first time I fall in love, and I admit that I'm a bit scared because I don't know how to love. I am scared because I am thinking on how will I love her properly. Paano ko 'yon gagawin?" tanong niya at hindi ako nagsalita. He stretched his fingers. 
                          
"Sa ngayon, ang alam kong paraan ay iparamdam sa kanya nang buong buo ang pagmamahal ko. To fill her with my love. I'll do everything not to hurt her intentionally if I'm sometimes not being understandable or I'm jealous. I won't never hurt her on cheating, lying, or any bad reason because I am so certain I couldn't do that things to her." he said while looking straight on me.
                          
Sumayaw ang kurtina sa nakabukas na bintana. Napalingon ako roon at nakita ang itsura sa labas. Papalubog na ang araw. Naghalo na ang kulay kahel, pula at dilaw sa langit. There are so much details in the sky right now. Para bang nagbabaga ang kalangitan sa labas. I wanted to look on it but Kuwai's words were stealing more my attention.
