HEARTACHES TO HEARTBEATS

Chapter 22

KAIAMMARA'S P.O.V.

"Pangalan?"

"Kaiammara po."

"Ang ang sosyal ng pangalan!"

"Gaga panget lang talaga pangalan mo, Tambusto."

"Boba Tambu lang kase! Baklang toh"

Nagtawanan naman ang mga nanonood. Chinika pa ako ng mga MC bago ako binulungan.

"Siz gusto mo ng music? Or instrument? Gitara lang kasi meron kami ngayon."

"Okay na po ang gitara." ngiting sabi ko.

"Ayaaannn! Sige sige."

Naupo na ako sa upuan sa may gitna ng stage at tinesting ang gitara. Natahimik naman ang mga nanonood ng marinig ang gitara.

Ngumiti ako sa mga tao na tutok na tutok sa akin.

"This is Heaven by Bryan Adams. I hope you guys like it."

Nagsimula na akong mag gitara.

"Oh, thinkin' about our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more..."

Napatingin naman ako sa table namin at nakitang ngiting ngiti sila at chini cheer ako.

Dumapo ang mata ko kay Arthur na titig na titig sa akin. I smiled at him and stared at him while singing.

"Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in Heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in Heaven....."

Nakita kong inaasar-asar na siya nina Ate Pia, Kuya Pat, Paolo, Lea, Jam at Chan pero hindi niya inalis ang tingin sa akin.

Nakaramdam ako ng hiya kaya umiwas na ako at tumingin na sa mga tao.

"Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Yeah, nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh, there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way....

And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in Heaven
Yeah, love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in Heaven, yeah..."

I saw how the people enjoyed my singing, and it made my heart happy. May iba pa akong nakitang couple na nagslo slow dance na pala sa gilid. Not minding the other people.
