Waking up beside him was probably one of the best feelings in the world.

The feeling when you wake up, you can see his face immediately.

The feeling that the two of them had the same heartbeat at the same time.

The feeling that he is within your reach.

That feeling when you are locked in his arms.

Sana ...

Connor's Video Camera

1:09 PM

[The video cam is focused on Arisa]

Connor: We don't know what to give you, Exis. So we've decided to record this event for you.

Connor: This can't be compared to what Arisa had come up to but ... well.

[The camera shakes a bit but is immediately on Arisa again]

Connor: She's been doing the preparation since this morning. Lucky bastard.

[Arisa, who's currently supervising the food, looks at Connor]

Arisa: Eh? What is that, Connor?

Connor: Documentary.

Arisa: Ah. What for?

Connor: Just. Say hi to the camera.

Arisa: (waves her hand to the camera) Hi, Camera.

Connor: (chuckles)

Arisa: Did Wade say where they were?

[Cole suddenly appears beside Arisa]

Cole: They're close.

Arisa: Aigoo. Really? Shuta. Is everything okay?

Cole: (pats Arisa's head) It's okay. Go, retouch so you can be beautiful in Ekis beybeh's eyes. (Laughs)

[Arisa's red face is clear on the video recording]

Arisa: I don't know about you, Kuya Cole!

[The video camera is now focusing on Cole]

Cole: (points at the camera) Is this our gift to Exis?

Connor: Yep.

Cole: Huh. (Waves at the camera) We will record the cheesy moment between Exis and Arisa. It is impossible they do not have a cheesy moment.

[Cole starts walking while the "cameraman" continues to film him]

Cole: See everything here?

[The camera focuses on the whole place]

Cole: Arisa did this. She planned everything, did everything. Just for you.

[Overhears Sai's voice]

Sai: He's here.

[Arisa suddenly appears beside Cole. She's wearing a see-through white blouse and blue swimming shorts]

Arisa: Oh, my God. What if Ekis gets angry? Shuta.

Connor: (chuckles) He won't.

Arisa: (looks at the camera) Connor!

Connor: Go.

[Arisa walks towards the gate. All guests followed Arisa to welcome the birthday boy]

Connor: I don't think Exis will get angry at her.

[The camera focuses on the resort gate. We see the camera entering Exis followed by Wade]

Guests: Happy Birthday, Exis!

Exis: What?

[Arisa walks slowly towards Exis]

Arisa: Ahm. Surprise? Advance Happy Birthday?

[Long pause. Then suddenly, Exis crossed the gap between him and Arisa. He suddenly hugs her]

Connor: See? No need to be scared, Arisa.

[You can hear Wade's voice at the background]

Wade: Sweet. My OTP.

[Exis' lip is moving but the camera can't catch what he's saying. At the same time, Arisa's face is turning red]

Wade: What is Ekis baby saying? I can't hear !!

[Black screen]

2:10 PM

[The camera is focused on the mini-stage. Wade is standing there wearing a police officer uniform]

Wade: I know it's hot now. Sorry if my hotness adds to the heat of the weather.

[Someone shouts from the guests]

Guest: Ulol. Hahahaha.

Wade: Shut up, insecure.

[Cole's voice can be heard in the recording. He's the one holding the camera]

Cole: The fuck. Why is Wade the host?

[The camera focuses on Exis next to Arisa. Wade does not have the focus of the two. Instead, they are talking]

Cole: Sweet. Poor Wade. Exis ignored.

[Gradually the focus of the camera approaches Exis and Arisa]

Exis: You're showing too much skin.

Arisa: Duh. Swimming eh. I should not wear jogging pants.

Exis: Do you have to wear a swimsuit?

Arisa: There is an overlay. Manong.

[Cole weakly comments on what he hears from Exis and Arisa]

Cole: Possessive is crazy.

[The camera zooms in until it focuses on Exis' arm resting on Arisa's shoulder. The camera also shook slightly. Cole's faint laugh was heard]

Cole: Exis' moves really are.

[Black screen]

5:45 PM

[The camera focuses on the swimming pool. But it also immediately moves as if someone is looking]

Hel: It's my time to spy. Where are Exis? Maybe that's where Arisa was hidden.

[The camera focuses on the side of the pool. Cole finally pushes Wade into the pool]

Hel: Well, stupid.

[Camera moves again]

Hel: Exis' luck to Arisa. Can I? Oh, they agree.

[Arisa sits by the pool. Exis went down to the pool. Exis was standing opposite Arisa when she suddenly lifted Arisa by the leg. The camera heard Arisa laugh]

Hel: Aw shet. The animal Exis is envious.

[Camera zooms in and sees the small smile on Exis' lips]

Hel: When was the last time I saw Exis smile? In love the fool.

[Disruptedthe recording of Exis because Wade's face appeared on the screen]

Wade: Just take me. Wet look so sexy look.

Hel: Stupid. Go away. I'm confused by you.

[Wade poses in front of the camera]

Wade: Is it sexy?

Hel: We can't lose, dumb.

[Black screen]

11:40 PM

[The camera focuses on Arisa and Exis. They are both on the terrace. The camera shook for a moment and a faint laugh was heard]

Wade: Wade here, reporting for duty. Currently I am here and hiding with Exis.

Wade: Sshh. I will come so we can hear their conversation.

[The motion of the camera became very dizzying. Out of focus, just crackling]

Wade: I am a ninja, no one can see or hear me.

[The camera focuses again on Arisa and Exis. Unlike before, it is closer now and heard the conversation between the two]

Arisa: Is it really okay?

Exis: Yep.

Arisa: Good.

[Exis turns to Arisa. He held both of Arisa's hands]

Wade: At a glance, I was fascinated ...

Exis: Nobody ...

Wade: Nobody but you?

Exis: Nobody had done so much for me like you do, Arisa.

Exis: This?

[Exis wiggles palm]

Exis: How can I get angry at you when all you ever did was make me happy?

Arisa: Ekis ...

[Soft sniffling sounds can be heard and it's not coming from Arisa!]

Wade: I think I'll still cry.

[Arisa smiles. She pressed her hand against Exis' cheek]

Arisa: Just you. Eto? Small thing. Just make us happy. Just for you.

[The camera captures the rare smile that appeared in Exis' lips. The camera heard Arisa's breathing]

Arisa: You smiled!

Wade: My baby boy is baby no more.

Exis: You're the one making me smile.

[Silence envelops between Exis and Arisa. They are just looking at each other without saying anything]

Wade: Eye to eye.

Wade: What is a good background song?

Wade: Our little conversations are turning into little sweet sensations ... hum hum hum.

[Exis moves. From Arisa's hands, his hand moved upward until he was holding her head. He pressed his hands on her cheeks. Exis put his forehead on Arisa's forehead]

Wade: SPG rated that.

Exis: Merry Arisa.

Arisa: Hmm?

Exis: I love you.
