CHAPTER V

-

The stage blazed over the spotlight focused on me. My eyes wandered around the stadium hoping did my performance perfectly, at least, nearest. I made my way carefully in the front stage. As expected, the crowd of more than sixty thousand applaud, and I was startled when I saw the Steinway Alma Tadema headed to it in my Tailed white skirt in net-like long sleeve white croptop in Valentino Garavani white high heeled ankle boots.

The people stood from their seats to chant my name.

All of the cameras of BRD Television owned by Eschuvernes gathered to prepare for focusing it to the stage where I was. And the spotlight pointed to me.

With my arms relaxed, sliding my fingers like Freddy Mercury on his Live Aid's introduction performance in 1985. I began to setting up the microphone, testing it.

I smiled at the crowd before starting to touch the piano keys once again.

"You ready guys?" I asked. The people screamed in excitement. Hearing the smooth bouncing of the sound of piano keys as I touched it made my heart throbbed like heaven.

I'm jealous of the rain
That falls upon your skin
It's closer than my hands have been
I'm jealous of the rain
I'm jealous of the wind
That ripples through your clothes
It's closer than your shadow
Oh, I'm jealous of the wind, cause...

I slowly shut my eyes. It felt as if I was the piano. Two weeks have passed but it felt yesterday.

'Ni hindi pa nga ako nakaka-move on kay daddy, sumunod ka kaagad. If I only knew that this would happened, I should have gone home more often.

I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me

Oh, memories memories. Bumabalik sa akin lahat. My heart started to crushed like a frozen glass heated on fire. Bumibigat na para bang ako'y may pasan na krus sa aking balikat. Tears began to fell.

"Mag-iingat ka doon ha?"

"Yes, Mommy. Don't think too much. I'll be fine."

I'm jealous of the nights
That I don't spend with you
I'm wondering who you lay next to
Oh, I'm jealous of the nights
I'm jealous of the love
Love that was in here
Gone for someone else to share
Oh, I'm jealous of the love, cause

"You sure? Tatawag ka ha?"

"Yes. Mama ko, may video call na. Makikita mo pagmumukha ko."

"Nag-aalala lang kasi ako na baka-"

"Baka mapabayaan ang pag-aaral at health? Of course not, ma. Ako pa ba?"

I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
