Love is not that easy to conquer. I love him. But does he love me?
Does the affection he shows are true?
Does every word he says, he means it?
Ahhh! Para na akong baliw nito sa kakaisip ng mga bagay-bagay.
Then suddenly I heard my phone ringing.
"Sh#t!" I cuss as I saw his name appearing in my phone.
"Why would he call at this very hour? Jarreebbbb! Nakakainis ka talaga.!" My gosh! Para na akong baliw nito na kinakausap ang sarili.
So I just answer it.
"Hello?"
"B. Where are you?" Bungad niya agad ng sagutin ko ang tawag niya.
"In my room? Why?"
"F**k! Hindi mo nga pala alam!" Then I heard him cuss again in the other line.
What is he talking about?
"Hey!Ano bang problema?"I asked him with curiousity.
"Naahhh..Nothing.Jazz will pick you up within 10 minutes,so be ready! Bye B!" then he cut the line.
Ano bang nangyayari sa kanya?
"Seriously Bess? Hindi mo alam na ngayon yung bandfest nila Kuya? My Gosh! Nakakainis ka talaga minsan! Ba't di mo yun alam?" Jazz asked me while we were heading towards the gym kung saan gaganapin ang bandfest.
"I...I really don't know." sagot ko naman sa kanya.
"Okay let's just hurry up! Bilis!" Then she suddenly grap my wrist at lakad-takbo na yung ginawa namin.
"Paraan! Excuse me po! Excuseeee!" sigaw ni Jazz habang papasok na kami. She stopped when we were near the stage. At narinig ko na lang ang pahayag ng emcee...
"Please help me welcome the....ECHO! from the Department of Engineering!"
Comes from behind the curtain ay sila Jarreb kasama ang mga kaibigan niya. He look sa charming sa kanyang suot na blue polo at old style fashion jeans. He went to the mic at may binulong sa kanya si Xander na nagpalingon sa kanya sa gawi namin. Then he looked at me straight to the eyes and smiled at me. I don't know what to react dahil naramdaman ko na lang ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko.
"Hello,,mic test... Hello everyone! Okay pa ba kayo? ahmm.. I just wanna say that this song is dedicated to you, B!" Then Xander started to strum the guitar.
Para akong natulos sa aking kinatatayuan at paulit-ulit na tinatanong ang sarili ko kung totoo ba ang nangyayari.
Jarreb seems so focus to me but at the same time confident is evident within his eyes.
"When your legs don't work like it used to before
And I can't sweep you off your feet
Will your mouth will still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?"
His voice was so cool and it was very relaxing. As he sing the song, he never stop staring at me in the eyes. Totoo ba 'to? Totoo na ba yang nararamdaman mo sa akin Jarreb? Hindi ba ito isang laro? Dahil pakiramdam ko, hulog na hulog na ako sa'yo. Natatakot akong baka hindi na ako makaahon sa nararamdaman kong ito.
Naramdaman ko na lang na siniko ako ni Jazz at binulongan niya ako sabay sabing..
"Sweet ng Kuya ko no?"
I just smiled at her and nodded.
"and,Darling , I will be loving you 'til we're 70 And,
baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love inmysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand Well, me-I fall in love with you every
single day And I just wanna tell you I am"
At naglakad siya papunta sa may direksyon kung saan nakatayo kami ni Jazz. He stand infront of me at kumanta siya habang hinawakan niya ang kanang kamay ko.
"So honey now Take me into your loving arms Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars Place your head on my beating heart I'm thinkingout loud That maybe we found love right where we are"
All he did do was look me in the eyes and smiled while he was singing the song. Nakakaiinis dahil ang bilis-bilis ng tibok ng puso ko para akong tumakbo ng ilang kilometro. Kahit na masaya ako ngayon dahil sa pagbabago ng pakikitungo niya sa akin ay may pag-aalinlangan pa rin akong nadarama. Hindi ko na talaga alam. Kahit na sinusuklian ko ang mga ngiti na binibigay ni Jarreb ngayon, there's still the little amount of hesitation that is palpable. I don't know.
Pagkatapos niyang kumanta ay hinalikan niya ang kamay ko at bumalik na siya sa harapan. Then everybody was shouting. Bigla akong nabingi sa mga sigaw nila.
"Thank you guys!" Sabay na sabi nila Jarreb at nag bow na sila. He looked at me and smiled.Then kumindat muna siya sa akin bago sila pumasok ulit papuntang sa back stage.
Mahal ko siya. Pero mahal niya ba ako? Ang tanong na paulit-ulit na gumugulo sa isipan ko. His actions shows that he has something for me. But I want an assurance. I want him to say those words.
