Sweet Despair

Chapter 31

Akira's POV

Nasan na ba sila? Ano bang nangyayari? Nakarinig nalang ako ng mga yapak sa stage. At biglang....

"KYYYAAAHHH!"

"Kings!"

Bumukas ulit ang mga ilaw at nakatayo ang kings sa stage. Katabi ko si Jiro. Ano nanaman ba to?

Tinanggal ko yung guitar na naka sabit sa katawan ko at binalik ko sa stand. Malalakad na sana ako paalis ng bigla siyang magsalita sa mic.

"Stay."

Napatingin ako sa kanya. Nakatingin din siya sakin.

"Stay, AM." muli niyang sabe. I blinked thrice. Napatingin ako sa mga tao. Yung iba they look confused, yung iba naman parang kinikilig. Napansin ko naman sila Candy sa gilid. Kasama yung magkapatid na koreano. Nasan si Sam? "Akira."

Napatingin naman ako sa likod. Nandito siya? "Sam, anong ginagawa mo dito?" gulat na tanong ko kay Sam.

"Tinutulungan ko lang siya. Because I want to see you happy again." nakangiti niyang sabe. Hindi ko alam kung ano irereact ko. Napatingin ako kanila Lucas at Rain. Nakangiti sila sakin at nag thumbs up.

"AM." napatingin ako kay Jiro. Seryoso siyang nakatingin sakin. I feel like shouting. Yung puso ko nagwawala.

Bakit? Bakit mo to ginagawa, Jiro?

Jiro... gusto ko banggitin ang pangalan niya. Kaso, di ko magawa.

"Let me be your everything." nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabe niya. Pagkatapos niya sabihin yun bigla nalang sila tumugtog.

[Be Your Everything by Boys like Girls]

Hmmm.... yeah
Four letter word
But I don't have the guts to say it
Smile 'til it hurts
Let's not make it complicated
We've got a story

And I'm about to change the ending
You're perfect for me
And more than just a friend
So we can just stop pretending now
Gotta let you know somehow

He stared into my eyes.

I'll be your shelter
I'll be your storm
I'll make you shiver
I'll keep you warm
Whatever weather
Baby I'm yours
Be your forever, be your fling
Baby I will be your everything

Jiro...

Baby I
Baby I will
Baby I will be your everything

Bakit meron pa ba? Meron pa ba tayong chance?

We used to say
That we would always stick together
But who's to say
That we could never last forever
Girl, got a question
Could you see yourself with somebody else?
'Cause I'm on a mission
And I don't wanna share
I want you all to myself right now

Parang diniin niya yung sentence na yun. He wants me for himself only.

I just wanna scream it out

I'll be your shelter
I'll be your storm
I'll make you shiver
I'll keep you warm
Whatever weather
Baby I'm yours

It's like we have our own world. He walked closer to me.

Be your forever, be your fling
Baby I will be your everything
