Dahly's POV
This is the first time na nakita ko si Argen in panic, I never thought he is capable of such kasi parang passive lang siya and oblivious sa kung anong nangyayari sa mundong kanyang ginagalawan. Is this a rare moment of seeing his vulnerability?
Nilingon ko si Lolo . "Lolo please don't die, don't leave me"mahina kong sabi sa kanya habang hinahayaan ko lang na umagos mga luha ko. Pero ramdam ko na tumatakas na naman ako sa katotohanan, I can;t feel the pain sa shoulder ko anymore, I can't right now, my family needs me, wake up Dahly.
I looked at JN, he looks so serious and pensieve, for sure he is blaming himself sa nangyari sa akin, I know that look of shame and self-hate. It wasn't your fault JN, inabot ko ang kamay niya at pinisil. I want to assure him that di niya kasalanan.
He looked at me with hurt expression, we stared at each other pero una siyang bumitiw and said nothing.
"Dahly apo, di pa ako mamamatay masamang damo ata si Lolo" Old Man said in a raspy voice na siyang nagdistract sa akin.
"Don't talk na lolo please" umiiyak kong sabi sa kanya as I kissed him on the forehead, this is like history repeating itself again. Di ko man kasama ang biological grandpa ko when he died, pero the feeling of dread sa possibilidad na mawawala si Old Man is killing me the same way the news that my grandpa died killed me. "Argen hurry up!" sigaw niya kay Gen.
"I am Dahly for heaven's sake if pwee ko pa lang ipalipad ito In would have" sagot ni Argen who was now also crying pero di niya ata napansin. How selfish of me, kung meron mang nasasaktan talaga sa nangyayari ngayon that would be Gen, he is the son after all. Kahit di niya ipakita o sabihin man, ramdam ko na mahal niya si Old Man the same way Old Man does to him. Kaya lang I don't understand what's keeping him from reching out to his dad.
" Gen anak, could you sing for me? Yng kinanta mo sa audition ko dun sa taiwan, di ba para sa akin yun?" mahinang sabi ni Old Man who was now breathing heavily.
"You were there papa?" gulat niyang tanong.
"Yes, I have always been there, every concert, every event ng banda mo, di nga lang ako nagpapakita" after Old Man said that he smiled.
"So please sing that song for me, that was the only time I heard you sing" mahinang sabi ni Old Man.
Kahit umiiyak at pumipiyok kumanta si Argen, garalgal man ang boses pinagbigyan niya ang ama.
If I am not mistaken it was a song from skillet, I know this song dahil isa ito sa mga paboritong kong banda, a contemporary Christian Rock band
The walls between you and I
Always pushing us apart
Nothing left but scars fight after fight
The space between our calm and rage
Started growing shorter
Disappearing slowly day after day
I was sitting there waiting in my room for you
You were waiting for me too
And it makes me wonder
If I'm going to analyze this song, ganito siguro ang relasyon nilang mag-ama...
The older I get
Will I get over it?
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I didn't know then it would hurt like this but I think
The older I get
Maybe I'll get over it
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I can't believe it still hurts like this
