Habang inaayusan ako ng buhok dahil nagpalit nga ako ng damit ay lumapit sa akin sila President.

"Dalawa ulit kakantahin mo 'no?" paniniguro n'ya napa-isip ako.

'Wag ko na lang kayang kantahin 'yung isa? Pero hiniling kasi nila iyon kaya ayun na lang gagawin ko.

"Yes, Pres. Dalawa pa kakantahin ko." tumango s'ya.

"Sige, labas na ko may aasikasuhin pa ko." tumango ako at nginitian s'ya.

Tumingin ulit ako sa salamin para tignan ang itsura ko. Nakasuot naman ako ngayon ng sleveless na kulay peach, lace type ito pero may tela pa naman sa loob pero mga four inches above the knee ito at ang lace part naman ay two inches, may design din itong pa-heart sa may bandang laylayan ng dress. Suot ko pa rin yung heels ko, ang make up ko naman ay nilagyan nila ng peach pero simple pa rin dahil nga ayoko ng makapal na make up. Ilang minuto rin ang tinagal bago ako matawag ulit kaya huminga ako ng malalim at lumabas na ng dressing room.

Pagka-akyat ko sa stage ay nakita ko na ang piano na nakahanda at narinig ko na rin ang hiyawan nila kaya umupo kaagad.

"So, another most requested song." sabi ko habang nakangiti.

Huminga ulit ako ng malalim at nagsimulang tumugtog.

"I like your eyes you look away when you pretend not to care
I

like the dimples on the corners of the smile that you wear
I like you more, the world may know but don't be scared
'Cause I'm falling deeper, baby be prepared

I like your shirt, I like your fingers, love the way that you smell
To be your favorite jacket, just so I could always be near
I loved you for so long, sometimes it's hard to bear
But after all this time, I hope you wait and see"

"Love you every minute, every second
Love you everywhere and any moment
Always and forever I know I can't quit you
'Cause baby you're the one, I don't know how"

Napangiti na lang ako ng sinabayan din nila ako sa chorus.

"Love you 'til the last of snow disappears
Love you 'til a rainy day becomes clear
Never knew a love like this, now I can't let go
I'm in love with you, and now you know

I like the way you try so hard when you play ball with your friends
I like the way you hit the notes, in every song you're shining
I love the little things, like when you're unaware
I catch you steal a glance and smile so perfectly

Though sometimes when life brings me down
You're the cure my love
In a bad rainy day
You take all the worries away"

I almost bite my lips when I hear them singing with me. Mahina lang pero naririnig ko silang sinasabayan ako.

"Love you every minute, every second
Love you everywhere and any moment
Always and forever I know I can't quit you
'Cause baby you're the one, I don't know how"

Sinabayan ulit nila ako sa pagkanta pero medyo lumakas na ang boses nila.

"In a world devoid of life, you bring color
In your eyes I see the light, my future
Always and forever I know I can't let you go
I'm in love with you, and now you know
I'm in love with you, and now you know"
aaghiyawan at nagpalakpakan sila pagkatapos kong, namin palang kumanta. Mahina akong natawa dahil hanggang huli ay sinabayan talaga nila ako. Humugot ako ng hininga at hinintay na tumahik ang paligid bago ulit ako tumipa.

"I like your eyes, you looked away when you pretended to care
I like the dimples on the corners of the smile that you wear
You wore them more with her, I knew and I was scared
I let myself fall deeper but I was prepared

I liked your shirt, the one I gave you can't forget how you smell
But now on different shoulders hang the jacket I used to wear
I loved you for so long, sometimes it's hard to bear
But after all this time I wish you well from here"

I felt a bit pain in my heart. Nandito pa rin yung sakit.

"I loved you every minute, every second
Loved you everywhere and any moment
Always and forever was just for a moment 
'cause I was not the one, I don't know how
I loved you 'til the last of snow disappeared
Missed you on the rainy days of the year
Never knew of pain like this but I've got to know
Thought I loved you so
Why did you go?"

Napatingin ako sa kanila at nakitang marahan nilang iwinagayway ang mga kamay nila. I smile a bit.

"I hate the way you let us go like it was all just nothing
I hate the way you hit the notes, but not the words I'm saying
I hate the little things like when I'm unaware
I still remember how we broke so perfectly

Though sometimes when life brings me down
Time can heal my heart
Through the bad rainy days
I know that I will be okay"

Napakagat na lang ako ng labi dahil meron pa akong nakitang may cellphone na nakabukas ang flashlight at winagayway nang marahan.

"I loved you every minute, every second
Loved you even if it was for a moment
Always and forever can wait for the time because
You were not the one, I know that now
In a world still full of life I see color
In a bit of time 'cause we deserve better
Always and forever when the right one comes because"

Pasimple akong huminga ng malalim dahil medyo kumirot na naman ang dibdib ko.

"Part of loving you is letting go
Part of loving you was letting go"

Nagpalakpakan sila kaya napangiti ako ng kaunti. Bigla na lamang nagtama ang mga tama namin ni Reo na nakatingin pala sa akin kaya nag-iwas ako ng tingin.

Bumibilis pa rin talaga ang pintig ng puso ko kapag nakikita ko s'ya. I told him that I'm letting him go but why my heart doesn't want to? Kakainin ko pa ba ang mga salitang sinabi ko? O siguro nasasabi ko lang 'to ngayon kasi hindi ko pa talaga s'ya tuluyang na le-let go.

Hindi naman kasi talaga madaling bumitaw agad e. Wala namang switch ang feelings ko na kung kailan ko gustong i-off ay io-off ko na lang basta. This is a process that I should experience para may matutunan ako. May part sa akin na gusto nang maalis ang nararamdaman ko sa kan'ya pero may parte sa akin na ayoko.

Siguro panahon na lang ang magsasabi kung naka-move on na ba ko o hindi.
