I inhaled, being in this room with complete set of instruments made me feel excited. I don't even know where I'm gonna start playing.
I've always wanted to try the drums, I knew how to play that when I was fifteen but I didn't master it because I focused on studying the ukulele and guitar more. Iyon naman ang madalas kong nagagamit sa pagkanta kahit noon pa.
Hinawakan ko ang cymbal at marahang nag-tap ng daliri roon, abala si Ajax sa pagbukas ng zipper sa guitar case ngayon pero sinulyapan ako sa kinatatayuan.
"Marunong ka mag-drums?"
Tumango ako. "Medyo pero baka limot ko na rin."
His eyes blinked in amusement; he took out the black acoustic guitar from the case as he walked towards me.
"Talaga? Try mo ngayon, gusto ko makita!"
Mukha siyang excited at manghang paslit, as usual. Madali siyang mamangha sa mga bagay-bagay na nakikita niyang hindi niya pa nasusubukan o kayang gawin. Iyon ang napansin ko sa kanya tuwing magkasama kami, gaya na lang ng pagkamangha niya sa jeepney drivers dahil ang galing daw at nakakapagsukli habang nagmamaneho pati sa mga snatcher na hindi natatakot tumakbo pagtapos mang-snatch.
Minsan natatawa na lang ako mag-isa kapag naalala iyong mga kinamamanghaan niya, huwag naman sana niya gawing inspirasyon iyong pagiging fearless at thick face ng mga snatcher.
But he has a thick face already! Huwag na lang sana siyang maging snatcher.
"Walang drum sticks." Nagkibit balikat ako kasi wala akong nakita sa area kahit saan maghanap.
His nose scrunched and looked around the jamming area and pouted, dala ang gitara ay tumungo siya sa isang appliances box malapit sa pinto ng kuwarto ni Eris. He crouched to search for something, he looks tall even in that posture.
My left brow simply raised as I noticed his firm thick thighs, they suit his height—also his butt that seemed squishy. Hindi fit ang trousers niyang suot pero pansinin iyon lalo pa sa ganoong anggulo niya. Bago ko pa mapansin lahat ay iniwas ko ang tingin.
We've been spending time together for a while now and I know he has a good body ever since I saw him but I never really cared and put attention on it.
Just now, nakayuko kasi siya at halos makuba sa paghahanap doon habang hawak pa rin ang itim na gitara.
Sorcha, stop looking at some things you shouldn't be noticing.
"Hindi kasi iniiwan ni Hesper 'yung drum sticks niya," aniya at maligayang tumuwid nang makakita ng drum sticks sa box. "Buti na lang mayroon ditong extra!"
Mabilis siyang nakalapit sa akin saka inabot iyon, tinanggap ko at marahang pinalo iyon sa cymbal at rack toms bago tiningnan ulit ang itsura ng stick—it was customized; frame of lion's glaring icy blue eyes.
"Kay Hesper din 'yan pero puwedeng gamitin kasi iniwan niya, e. Iyong white ang ayaw niya ipagamit kaya laging dala." Natawa siya at marahan akong dinunggol sa braso saka ngumuso sa drum set.
I clicked my tongue; rolling my eyes at him and went to the drum throne, Ajax plugged something but I didn't mind because he went back in front. Marahan kong inumpisahan ang pagpalo sa drums habang inaalala iyong una kong kantang natutunang tugtugin sa drums.
I blinked and started to get the first hit as I hummed the chorus of Payphone by Maroon 5. Seconds later, I found the perfect timing to hit—I counted inwardly then moved my hands to hit the drums while stomping the bass pedal to create the beats.
