-Nina-

Marco was here as per Trixie na nagrereklamo dahil inuubos ni Marco ang oras niya.

It's been three years since I last saw him sa 18th birthday ko.

He left without saying goodbye at all and it hurt.

Monique failed to mention na uuwi pala sila although we correspond through Facebook sometimes.

I saw Trixie being accompanied by Marco and I feel jealous. Really.

What's worst is ilang araw silang magkasama and I pity Axel who was waiting patiently everyday for Trixie.

Dahil concerned ako kina Axel ay nilapitan ko siya.

"Hi Axel, baka gusto mong ilayo ko si Marco kay Trixie para magkasama kayo?" Nakita ko na nabigla si Axel sa tanong ko.

"Okay lang ba sa iyo?" Tanong niya at alam ko na naaalala niya ang pinag-usapan namin noon ng bumili kami ng engagement ring niya kay Trixie.

"Oo naman. No worries. Ako bahala." Then I went to look for Marco who was at the parking lot deciding to light the cigarette or not.

"Didn't you know smoking is prohibited in this campus?"
I asked and he turned around shocked to see me.

"Why why if it isn't my little girl, Nina. Look how beautiful you are." He said and pocketed the cigarette.

Aaminin kong kinilig ako sa "my little girl" at napangiti na lang ako.

"Care to take me out for old times sake?" I asked and he nodded.

Hindi ko akalain na makakayang anyayahan siya na lumabas.

Umalis kami at pumunta sa Brewmance. Axel texted me saying thanks and I feel good to have helped them both.

There was an old piano sa tabi ng stage na pwedeng gamitin kapag may gustong tumugtog or during the mini concerts held here.

"Do you still sing?" Tanong ni Marco habang hinahalo ang kape niya.

Napatango ako habang tinititigan ang gwapo niyang mukha. He aged well ika nga nila dahil lalong umangat ang kakisigan niya.

"Would you like to sing for me?" He asked as those hazelnut and green eyes stare at me.

"Di ako marunong magpiano." I said sensing his request.

"Let's go." He said and offered his hand to help me stand up.

Inalalayan niya ako papunta sa may piano at umupo siya doon. He patted the space beside him kaya naupo ako.

He checked the music sheet and found "Baby, now that I found you"
then stretched his hands.

I was surprised as his hands started playing the melody so well as he perused the notes.

He smiled encourangingly so I sang as he played.

Baby, baby,
when first we met
I knew in this heart of mine

That you were someone I couldn't forget. I said right, and abide my time

Spent my life looking for that somebody to make me feel like new
Now you tell me that you want to leave me
But darling, I just can't let you

He was looking at me intently as I sing and I can't help but blush.

Baby, now that I've found you
I won't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so
Baby even though
You don't need me
You don't need me no, no
