11: 54 p.m.
Halos napatalon ako nung biglang mag-ring yung cellphone ko. Ineexpect ko kasi sila Reian, sila lang naman yung tumatawag sakin pero iba. Hindi sila.
Whaaaat the?! Tumatawag sya. OMYGHAD! First time nya tumawag sakin. Sasagutin ko ba?
Sa tagal kong pinag-isipan kung sasagutin ko ba o hindi, bigla nalang naghinto ng kaka-ring yung cellphone ko. Baka namali lang ng pindot. Pero pamaya maya.
Rex Garcia calling . . . .
'Ate Zy, kakantahan ka namin.' Sabi nung nasa kabilang linya. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nung narinig kong babae yung nagsasalita, si Lyz.
'Sige kayo bahala.' Sagot ko naman habang nililigpit ko yung ibang gamit ko sa kwarto.
'Ano gusto mong kantahin namin?' Pagtatanong nya.
'Wala akong maisip. Kayo na bahala.'
'The man who can't be moved nalang? Oo, yun nalang. O ikaw mag-umpisa. Ayoko, ikaw na. Ikaw nakaisip nyan e. Tsk.' Rinig kong paghihilian nila ni Rex sa kabilang linya.
'Okay. 1 - 2 - 3. Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am
Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you.'
Panimula ni Lyz sa kanta. Ngayon ko lang narinig yung boses nya, nahiya naman yung boses ko. Hindi naman kasi sila tumatawag dati ngayon lang kaya ngayon ko lang din napansin. Ang ganda ng boses nya. Pabulong kong sabi sa sarili.
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving... I'm not moving.'
Kanta naman ni Rex sa second stanza. Shems! Ba't ang ganda ng boses nya?
'Policeman says son you can't stay here
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.'
Kanta ulit ni Lyz sa kabilang linya.
'Ma...Po?...Wait lang po...' Rinig ko yung pagtawag nung Mama nya mula sa kabilang linya.
'Ate Zy tawag ako e. Bye muna. Si Kuya Rex muna kakanta para sayo.' Pagpapaalam nya sakin.
'Kuya, ayusin mo yan ah?' Bilin pa nya kay Rex.
'Pano ba yan? Haha. Pagtyagaan mo na boses ko, umalis si Lyz e. Loko talaga yun.' Sambit nya.
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving I'm not moving I'm not moving I'm not moving.' Pagpapatuloy nya ng kanta.
Hindi ako nagsasalita habang kumakanta sya, hindi ko alam kung paano ko magre-react. Ayokong masira yung moment, ang perfect kasi.
'People talk about the guy
Who's waiting on a girl, oh whoa
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world
Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner 'Cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved I'm the man who can't be moved.'
