Romance Anthologies

Track #1: Babalik Sa'yo

I welcome you to RA's new subsidiary: The Track Series! 🥰

I realized that I have been too laid off in writing, not that I prioritize it over school works, pero I feel like I'm missing it more often than I ever did. Napansin ko ring ako lang ang nag-iistress sa sarili ko in making 'lengthy' proses to the point na medyo na-ddrain out na ako and I'm giving you the bare minimum of it already which hindi niyo naman siguro deserve eme. So, I thought of making these little bits of specials for you guys.

Track Series is composed of shorts and on the more random side, based on one track that comes on to my mind. I usually make music as a side tab while studying and my silly imagination always formulates scenarios over those tracks I've been listening to, so I have really lots of references and somethings. I don't want you to expect too much since maybe you'll think of it as 'hindi sulit' kasi same lang din schedule, kung kailan lang din talaga libre. But I swear, sometimes, you'll need daily doses of these.

Ps. It's open for TRACK REQUESTS! I (think) I have a narrow music taste kaya I'd like to hear your storyline suggestions too. Though...medyo matatagalan talaga hehe.

Anyhow, for our first track, let's ride on to Moira Dela Torre's Babalik Sa'yo. Enjoy!

"I swear, dude. Stop throwing me off to her," Bongbong clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Martin hardly placed his hand over his shoulder, "Jusko naman, pare. It's January 2019!"

"It's not the VP chair I'm talking about here," his brows furrowed.

"Then what's holding you back from socializing with her?" his cousin crossed his arms, still glued onto the beautifully-looking woman standing near the front stage.

"Manahimik ka na lang, pwede?" the former senator rolled his eyes.

Naramdaman na ni Martin ang kaunting inis ng dating senador kung kaya't tinigil na lang nito ang pagsasalita sa pamamagitan ng pag-inom ng natirang champagne na nasa baso nito. He excused himself in order to purchase them another drinks. They are going to start drinking as much as they can tonight when they have completed the preliminary rounds, and they are going to stop to think who might be concerned about it.

"Mr. Marcos."

Halos tumalon ang puso ni Bongbong nang marinig ang pamilyar na boses na iyon. Even though he was turning his head away, the woman nevertheless managed to catch his attention despite the fact that he was keeping a low profile at that gathering. The real question that needed to be asked was: why the hell would she say hello to him?

"VP," pamukaw-tawag nito pabalik at hinay-hinay na nilingon ang ulo saka pinagtagpo ang mga tingin ng dalawa.

Since when did she become so damn beautiful in my eyes?

Ah. Yes. Three years ago.

"I'm sorry to disturb your...daydreaming," she muttered.

Agad namang binawi ni Bongbong ang kanyang paniniwala, "No, it's fine."

"Ako siguro ang kahuli-hulihang taong gusto mong makita sa salo-salong ito, yet here I am, shamelessly..." Leni shook her head while chuckling nervously and scratched her fingertips against the wine glass.

"It was long forgotten, it's okay, really," he comforted her through.

"Anyway," she tried mustering up the remaining confidence she still got in her. "Andito ako dahil pinapatawag ka ng Presidente sa opisina niya."
