Just a reminder before reading this chapter, I don't really have any idea about how entertainment industry work. I am just following my instinct. This is a fiction anyway so it means a different world.
Pwedeng yung nilalagay ko sa story ko wala naman pala sa reality. Please, be open if possible and don't judge on how I will write everything on this story. Thank you.
Chapter 26
Past
All this time I know I am moving forward. Umuusad na ako at alam kong mararating ko na ang dulo ng lahat ng paghihirap ko pero nandito na naman ako.
But why do I need to meet him on the situation like this?
"Wow, the mention of the word 'song' didn't make you frown anymore, dearest brother." Juli said kaya napatingin ako sa kanya at inalis na ang tingin kay Marco.
Sa loob ng recording studio na 'to alam ko na kaming dalawa ang nakakaramdam ng awkwardness dahil sa nangyayari. I didn't expect him to be that song writer. I am fully aware that he is good in everything that he is doing mostly if all about music.
I may be good but Marco is also good in everything he is doingmostly if it's music we are talking about. In everything he will do you can see the passion that he have. That is why I become inspired and wanted to be like him. It pushes me to do better even though everyone say that I am already the best.
"Kuya? We need a song, please." Juli said halatang inaasar ang kapatid niya kaya napangiti ako.
Naalala ko kasi si Xavi, ganyan din kasi siya kung mang-asar kay Marco noon. My brother is really comfortable with Marco to the point na hindi niya nga ata nasusungitan si Marco dahil alam niyang mas masungit na sa kanya.
"By the way, I am sure you know her... She is Zemira Ember and we will have a collaboration song together. I want you to write the lyrics for us, please." Marco look at his sister that is already holding the hem of his t-shirt.
He look at me kaya napaiwas na lang ako ng tingin at nagpanggap na iniikot ang paningin sa buong recording studio. Mukhang siya nga lang ang gumagamit ng studio na 'to. Yung iba kasi na pinuntahan namin nagagamit ng lahat kahit mga artist nila pero dito mukhang para sa kanya lang talaga.
Nawala lang yung pagpapanggap ko na tumitingin sa paligid ng bigla akong hilahin ni Juli kaya magkaharap na kami ngayon ni Marco at nasa tabi ko ang kapatid niya. I tried looking at his eyes.
Akala ko makikita ko yung emosyon na nakita ko sa kanya noong nagkita kami ulit dati pero hindi ko yun mahanap ngayon. There is no coldness but there is a soft expression on his face. Maybe, because his sister is here.
Hindi naman na ako aasa sa lahat ng pinapakita sa'kin ni Marco. Alam ko naman kung ano ang totoo. I am not part of his life anymore for him to give me that soft expression. I don't even know if I will receive a laugh or even a smile from him.
"You are Arc? Hi, nice to meet you." I said after building up every confidence I have.
I think meeting him again was actually good. Habang kaharap ko siya ngayon I realize that I can face him again like this. Yung pagkikita na hindi ako umaasa sa kahit ano mula sa kanya. Nagulat lang siguro ako na magkikita kami.
Kung yung Zemira na nakausap niya noon ay iiyak sa harap niya at ipipilit ang sarili sa kanya at nakahawak pa sa kaunting pag-asa na meron siya ngayon wala na yung Zemira na yun. I am not expecting anything from him anymore.
"Zemira, can I ask you a question?" Hindi na nakapagsalita pa si Marco dahil sa biglang pagsingit ni Juli.
"Ano yun?"
