Chapter 43: Eight letters
~~~~~
Tahimik na kumakain silang lahat pagkatapos nilang magpakilala sa isa't isa. Nabasag lang ang katahimikan ng magsalita si Maui.
"Wala bang tutugtog ngayon?" said by Maui. Nakatingin ito sa mini stage.
"Wala, bihira lang may tumugtog dito. But it's free to anyone naman na tumugtog." Nixie answered as a daughter of the owner.
"That's cool!" Maui commented.
"Exactly." Sabi pa ni Hyugo na sinang-ayunan ang kapatid.
Tumingin naman si Kode sa stage at lumipat ang tingin niya kay Echo nang may ngiti sa mga labi. Ilang saglit pa ay tumayo si Kode kaya napatingin lahat sila dito. She just smiled at them bago tumalikod at maglakad palayo. She wants to sing a song for her Echo.
Nakatingin lang sila dito na pumunta sa mini stage. Kinuha ni Kode ang isang gitara at lumapit sa isang mic tsaka ito chineck. Nang tumunog ang mic ay doon niya nakuha ang lahat ng atensyon sa loob.
"She's Night, right?"
"Omg! Siya nga!"
"Omo! Is she going to sing?"
Napangiti si Kode at tumingin sa crowd.
"Good evening hehe. I just want to sing a song for someone...." Kode said at doon nagtama ang mata nila ni Echo na nanonood sa kanya ngayon.
She smiled. "I dedicated this song to my special someone....." Kode said and start to play the guitar.
"La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la"
"Hope you like it, 'cause I want you to know that...." Sabi pa ni Kode bago niya kantahin ang unang verse.
"I like your smile, I like your vibe,
I like your style Blbut that's not why I love you. And I, I like the way, you're such a star but that's not why I love you"
Napatulala naman si Echo dahil sa unang lyrics nito. Habang masayang nanonood naman ang iba. May nagv-video na rin.
"Hey, do you feel, do you feel me?
Do you feel what I feel, too? Do you need, do you need me? Do you need me?"
Biglang namatay ang ilang ilaw at nasa stage ngayon ang spotlight.
"You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you
Is you being you, just you
Yeah, the reason I love you
Is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you"
Kinuha naman ng mga manonood ang kanilang mga cellphone at binuksan ang kani-kanilang flashlight.
"La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la" Sinabayan naman ng pagkanta ni Maui si Kode ng mahina.
"I like the way you misbehave when we get wasted. But that's not why I love you. And how you keep your cool when I am complicated but that's not why I love you"
Inilibot ni Kode ang paningin niya sa paligid. Nage-enjoy ang mga manonood sa pagkanta niya. Nakita niya rin ang ilang mag jowa na magka-holding hands na nanonood sa kanya.
"Hey, do you feel, do you feel me? Do you feel what I feel, too? Do you need, do you need me? Do you need me?"
Iniikot ulit niya ang kanyang paningin sa crowd at tumigil ito kay Echo. Ngumiti ito bago kantahin ang sunod na liriko habang magka-eye contact sila.
"You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
And I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you
Is you being you, just you
Yeah, the reason I love you
Is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you"
