Until You Say I Do

Simula: Foam and Glow

"FOAM AND GLOW"

I laugh and looked up at the sky where I could see the beautiful stars. Nanatili akong nakaapak sa mga binti ng dalawang lalaki. They didn't care about my weight, so I used that opportunity to see the students who were gone wild because of the loud music and being wet at the same time.

The light dimmed and was replaced by different light colors. Mas bumagay ang kulay ng ilaw sa event kasama ang banda na hanggang ngayon ay tumutugtog ng isang bagong RNB.

Ang ibang estudyante ay gumilid na para hindi mabasa ng foam. Ang karamihan ay nanatili sa gitna para sabayan ang panibagong kanta ng Zetes na nagpaingay sa tahimik na gabi.

"Are you ready for another song tonight?" Paul asked and everyone shouted.

"Yes!" Umalingawngaw ang sigaw ng mga audience, ganun din ako.

"Hindi pa ba kayo pagod?"

"Hindi!"

"Do you want us to sing another song for tonight?!"

"Oo!" Sigaw ko at humalakhak habang tinuturo sa ere ang isang kamay.

"Let me hear you!"

"Whooh!" Sabay sabay na sigawan naming lahat.

"Alright! I want everyone to sing along with us!" Aniya sabay turo sa katabi niyang si Healer na ngayon ay nagsimula ng tumugtog para sa isang rock song.

Ever since I was in grade seven ay inidolo ko na sila. Nagsimula ang banda nila nuong nagkaroon ng battle of the band sa school namin at sila ang lumaban sa year level namin. Magka batch lang kami pero hindi kami magkaklase nuon and until now na grade 10 na kami ay hindi pa din kami magkaklase.

I was hoping we'd be in the same class, but that didn't happen. I'm not sure how they divide the pupils into sections. Is it about grades or who was the first and last to enroll?

I'm not that into academics. Kung hanggang saan lang ang kaya ko ay duon lang ako. Hindi ako nagsusunog ng kilay kagaya ng ibang mga estudyante. Basta ba makapasa at hindi umabot ng line of 7 ay okay na ako, basta wag lang bumagsak dahil paniguradong grounded ako ni mommy sa mga lakad ko kapag may kinalaman sa event ng Zetes.

"Zetes! Zetes! Zetes!" Sabay sabay na sigaw ng mga kagrupo ko dahilan para gumaya din ang ibang estudyante na nanunood ng live band nila.

I was never an obedient, good-natured student who only paid attention to his or her schoolwork. Normally, I do whatever I want. I'm the type who does things that I know will make me happy. Freedom is something I crave constantly. I think I'm happiest when I have the freedom to do what I want.

Sometimes we find our happiness from our riches, from the people around us, and sometimes it's the beauty of nature that made us fall in love. Though, this band, gave me life.

My sense of enjoyment is overwhelming. I felt like, I'm very much alive... I felt like, it's already inside of me, like a heartbeat, and just couldn't easily die.

I never thought it was possible to fall for their band. Because right now, I think I'm in love. I'm madly in love with this band called... Zetes.

"I love you, Paul Costa!" Sigaw ko sa kalagitnaan ng hiyawan ng mga estudyante.

Ang kaninang mga nasa tabi ay pumunta na sa gitna para makipag sabayan sa sigawan. Humawak ako sa balikat ng dalawang lalaking bumuhat sa akin at ambang bababa. Inalalayan naman nila ako para makababa.

"Thank you." Aniya ko.

"Anytime." One of the man answered and smiled sweetly at me.

Ngumiti ako at naramdaman sila na lumayo na at bumalik sa kanya kanyang pwesto.
