Sound Of The Rain (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 14: THE ACT,WE LIED

RHY

I didn't blame myself bakit di ako nakatulog halos, I wake up at 12 and until then di na ako halos nakatulog. Maybe I overthink on something and feel helpless at the same time, seeing the girl you want, happy with other man around was too heartbreaking than sabihin niya sayong di ka niya gusto. Yesterday dumating si Kyle and I see him na nagaalala kay Pitch his acting like a boyfriend even di pa naman nila pero dadating narin dun it's a matter of time and although I like Pitch, I don't need to tell her either its better to be friends with her and acting to be her brother.

I went to school to early, sa sobrang aga nga wala pa akong kasama sa room, that's why naiisp ko na lang magbabad sa music while I sleep for a bit. A moment later the door creaks open kaya tinignan ko kung sino ang pumasok, and it was my classmate Jinny de guzman.

"are you not going to watch?" she suddenly asked me

"watch, what?" I asked I didn't know what she is talking about.

"you didn't know? We have an event today. Cristoffe Alvarez, choose our school as one of their spot in promoting his new album and also for the promotion of the B.o.R. ( battle of the rhyme) since judge siya dun and one of the promoter- diba sumali ka dun bakit di mo alam?, nonetheless mauuna na ako kinuha ko lang yung bag ko at halos andun na lahat mga kaklase natin, you must hurry and find your seat" she explained to me na halatang may halong tuwa at galak sa muka niya.

I didn't know na pupunta ang team niya dito to brag his new album nab aka di rin siya ang may gawa, kaya pala halos walang tao I thought maaga lang ako pero wala pala talaga kasi an sa amphitheater na pala halos lahat. I don't want to go I just want to stay here and maybe I can write my next song para sa finals. I can hear from afar the loud and proud voice of Cristoffe and the loud voices of his fans out there nang nagsimula na ang kanyang event for today. A moment later narinig kona ang pagtugtoh ng banda na dumadagundong sa buong campus.

I cant concentrate to write a piece ng naiinis sa surroundings ko, the menace voice singing and the fans of him keeps yelling. Bigla nalang akong napayuko sa notebook sa desk ko at pinipilit magisip. Suddenly her faces pops up, ung mga time na halos haming dalawa lang ang magkasma at mga pagkaktaong kami lang ang magkausap, TALK ABOUT TIME, that's it the title of my next piece.

I found the right thought nang biglang may tumawag sa akin, dahilan kung bakit ako napalingo sa may pintuan sa bandang likuran. There are two of them at halatang napatakbo sila, Jinny- the girl before and her bestfriend Amy Wilson, kinky haired girl.

"come on, Rhy they want to see you" as they grabbed my hand kayat bigla akong napatayo s akinauupuan ko at naiwan ang mga gamit ko sa table.

" who?" I asked them but they didn't answer me but we moved towards the amphitheater. I have a bad hunch about this pero di ko matanggal ang pagkakahawak nilang dalawa sa kamay ko. At the main entrance of the venue I found Pitch and Kyle, drinking a milktea.

" what's happening here?" Pitch asked me. They didn't even know who's here baka nga kasi nagdate pa sila bago pumasok. I can not answer back hindi dahil naiinis ako sa kanila or nagseselos or whatsoever pero hinihila ako nila Amy at Jinny ng mabilis patungo sa stage.

" there he is." I see this bastard in front of me, Cristoffe, " this was my old friend of mine, alam ko kilala niyo siya tama?" they asked the audience then smirking at me habang nasa baba ng stage.

" come on, come on" he went down para lumapit sa akin at ayain ako sa stage, I want to resist pero magmumuka akong duwag kapag ginawa ko yun.

" this man, was the very best friend of mine, sa katunayan nga sa sobrang lapit naming halos parehas pa kami ng mga naiisip, minsan nga kanta pa na isusulat" he said sarcastically

" and oh by the way, why don't you say hello to everyone, my friend. " at inaabot niya sa akin yung microphone niya, akmang kukunin kuna ng bigla siyang nagsalita.

" ohhhhhhh" the the audience growled.

"hanap ka ng ibang mic. Pati ba naman to aagawin mo?" pangiinsulto niya habang humahalakhak, I wanna punch this guy pero iniisip ko rin magiging tingin ng mga tao sa akin malapit pa naman ang finals.

Di ko napansin na umakyat pala si Pitch sa stage at hinila na ako pababa.

" Wait" Cristoffe said ng hindi nakamic, " Rhy good luck sa finals, I wish you the best para makanakaw ng bagong kanta" then he returned to talk proudly to the crowed.

"Rhy, don't mind him, alam natin ang toto" Pitch said to make me calm dahil sobrang naiinis na ako anytime I feel I'm going berserk sa pikon.

" tara na sa Music room, para makahinga ka ng maayus at sobra kang nagpapawis" Pitch insisted

" bibili lang ako ng makakain at maiinom saglit" Kyle interjected

--#--

"are you okay now?" Pitch asked me pagkapasok at pagkapasok palang naming sa loob ng music room.

" much better now" I replied unto her, kahit pa pikon nap ikon na ako wala akong magawa dahil oras na pinatulan ko pa ang panunuya ni Cristoffe mas lalo lang siyang matutuwa.

Lumapit siya sa pagkakaupo ko at yumuko malapit sa ulo ko

" di bale, patunayan mo nalang sa kanya sa finals na ikaw parin yung taong kinalaban niya na hindi niya maabot remember, the most fruitful revenge was to be successful than them" as she smiled at me, I feel enchanted for a moment kapag siya na ang nagsasalita.

" btw may paparinig ako sayo, I wrote this one, dali na baka magustuhan mo kaso dalawang stanza lang siya, dali na" she went near the piano habang hinihila niya ako.

" can you listen to this, baka maayos mo pa at madagdagan" she start playing the flawless heart felt melody, I never know na marunong siyang tumugtog ng piano, this was too perfect.

" can play with me in the finals? Together?" I asked her after she stop playing. She stood up suddenly at lumapit sa akin at hinawakan yung kamay ko

" talaga? Really? You want me to play with you? Really" she asked me at nakikita ko ang saya sa muka niya.

" really ang ganda ng song, we can make it the final piece in the tagalog entry ang ganda ng song pero mas gaganda sana kung papaya kang kumanta kasama ko?"

" of course I want to, it was an honor for me" she said and bigla niya akong niyakap. This moment was astonishing and I wish sana di na matapos at huminto ang oras. I'm inlove with her everyday I saw her and to be with her.

How I wish pero bigla akong binalik sa katinuan ng biglang tumunog ang pinto pagbukas kasabay ng pagkawala ng bisig ni Pitch sa akin, Kyle entered eventually na may dalang pagkain.

" who hungry?" he asked loudly

In the most unexpected way lageng pinipigil ang attachment ko kay Pitch, siguro ganto ata talaga ang tadhana naming, we meet but not meant to be in each other's arm.
