Marthae's Pov

"You know how to play that?" Kaagad kong tinignan ang tinuro nito at napatango ako.

"Hmm, why?" Tanong ko dito.

"Just asking. I only heard you sang, just once." Natawa naman ako sa sinabi nito.

Andito kami ulit ngayon sa paborito kong lugar. Pumunta lang kami saglit sa university at nagdesisyon na bumalik dito.

I am leaning my head in her shoulder, we're seated at the couch here.

Wala naman kaming masyadong ganap dito kahapon nung pagkatapos niyang kumain. Nag-usap lang kami ng masinsinan at mga walang kwentang bagay, na sobra kong inenjoy.

Spending time with her like this, where I can freely do and say what I wanted to tell her, is an awesome feeling that I can't explain. The overwhelming feeling that makes me feel like I'm floating. Corny, but you'll get me when you're in my situation.

I stood up and grab my guitar that is placed at the corner side of this four walled room.

Yes, I do play guitar but I haven't played again for months.

Kinuha ko ito at bumalik din kaagad sa couch. Pumwesto ako nang komportable at kasalukuyan kaming nakaharap sa isa't-isa.

Tahimik lang din siyang nakamasid sa ginagawa ko.

I tuned the guitar first before looking up to my woman, I smiled at her before talking.

"Any song you want me to play?" I asked. Nag-isip naman siya saglit bago sumagot.

"You decide. Ikaw naman kakanta." Napatawa nalang ako bago sinimulang i-strum ang guitar.

I started humming while strumming the guitar and let my hands dance together with the string.

Nagbabadya ang hangin na nakapalibot sa'kin
Tila merong pahiwatig ako'y nananabik
Di naman napilitan kusa na lang naramdaman
Ang 'di inaasahang pag-ugnay ng kalawakan

I am a fan of Opm songs and I just recently discovered the song I am singing right now.

When I first heard this song, it really caught my attention because the moment I heard it, Zen was the one I remembered.

May nakita din akong cover ng guitar nito and I got interested because the song is really good, that's why sometimes, when I'm alone at my condo, I watched some guitar covers of this song.

I saw how Zen got surprised by my voice. I smiled at her.

Ibon sa paligid umaawit-awit
Natutulala sa nakakaakit-akit mong tinatangi
Napapangiti mo ang aking puso

I told myself that I will never admit that I like her and it was all just a simple crush, but damn, hulog na hulog na'ko.

Giliw 'di mapigil ang bugso ng damdamin ko
Mukhang mapapa-amin mo amin mo
Giliw nagpapahiwatig na sa'yo
Ang damdamin kong napagtanto na gusto kita

Sobra pa sa gusto. I wanted to be selfish and keep her in my arms, but I know I can't, yet..

Nakatitig lang kami sa isa't-isa at pinapadama ko sa kan'ya ang gusto kong ipahiwatig. Na sa bawat bigkas ko ng kanta, siya ang iniisip ko, at para sa kan'ya ang mensahe ng kantang 'to.

Walang iba, kun'di siya lang.. Siya lang palagi..

Hindi ko alam kung saan ko sisimulan
Binibigyang kulay ang larawan na para bang
Ikaw ang nag-iisang bituin
Nagsisilbing buwan na kapiling mo
Sa likod ng mga ulap
Ang tayo lamang ang tanging magaganap
