Hiding place
Chapter 14
"CJ, I don't know how to play piano," sabi ko sa kanya kasi talagang nakiusap siya na lumapit ako sa inuupuan niya at gusto niyang makita kong marunong ba ako o hindi.
Ngayon ako naman 'yong pinagti-tripan niya. But still, hindi parin ako maka move on sa naramdaman ko kanina habang kumakanta siya.
My heart raced like shit. I like guys who're musically inclined because I am also one. Pero noon 'yon at hindi na ngayon.
Marami nang nagbago. Hindi na ako gaya ng dati.
"I don't believe you, you have long fingers," he's guessing again like he always does.
He's really good at guessing. But my skill was nothing compared to him. He's a pro and I just passed the beginner. I stopped playing piano 3 years ago because of some fucking personal reasons.
"Okay, but I'm not as good as you. I will just be embarrassing myself," I reasoned out but he's still not convinced with it.
Bakit ba kaso gusto niya na tumutug ako? anong trip niya?
"Please, just this once," he looks like a kid asking his mom to make a sandwich for him in the sweetest way.
He's blinking his eyes drawing a big smile on his lips trying to convince me.
I look around if someone was there at buti nalang walang tao dito at kami lang dalawa kasi 'yong mga staff nasa malayo lang kaya sige na nga. Minsan lang rin naman. Isa pa, wala rin namang masama sa request niya.
It's been a while since I played the piano. That feeling that I have three years ago was slowly coming back to me at this moment.
I sighed before stretching my fingers para hindi mahirap igalaw 'yon kapag tutugtug na ako kasi nga matagal na rin na hindi ako nakatugtug ng piano. My fingers start to play the keys of the piano while he's just watching me instead of my hands in the keys.
"I wrote this song when I was 17 years old. I was just playing this chord progression and then I created this melody and used it to my song" I said while my hands were playing the keys.
"Wow, can I hear it?" he asked.
He will be the first person that will hear it even though this song was not made for him in the first place.
"You only you will hear it," I said to him and I started singing along with the rhythm in the piano.
You're all I have,
Don't wanna lose you
In this quiet room, and you say
That I missed you and I
Just wanna be with you
I just wanna tell you
I love you
Bring me to
Our hiding place
I was just singing closing my eyes while playing the piano keys. I just reminiscing about my old self who loves to compose music on my piano with my piano and guitar and all the musical instruments you know.
I love making music because I feel so complete making music. It's part of me. Pero dati 'yon. Hindi na ngayon.
We can go back
There's no reason for us
To be apart
Bring me to
Our hiding place
