Touch of Daylight: A Special Chapter

Author's Note:

Hello! It's been a while! I hope everyone is doing well out there. First of all, I want to apologize for this very late update of the special chapter. I wanted to post this when the book version of the story arrived, to also be fair, but unfortunately a little problem came along the way, causing the release of the books to be delayed.

August of this year, the books arrived. But it took me some time to prepare its distribution due to my hectic schedule. As of today, the copies were delivered to their new homes already. So it's also time to release this special chapter that has been in the draft for quite long.

As explained in the previous announcement found in the "Soon" part, a special chapter about G&V's past will be posted here for those who couldn't avail the physical book. However, to make up with the long queue, I included scenes of their future. So it's a mixture of their past and future now.

I'm sorry again and I hope you will enjoy this Special Chapter.

All my love.

"The secret of drumming is to strengthen your sense of rhythm, and practice coordination with the beats and your rolls. It's that easy..." I told Vienna.

She's sitting in front of my drum set, looking so determined to learn how to play them. I stood behind her, coaching her.

This girl is a good singer, master guitarist, and pianist but since she started a relationship with me, she's been interested about learning how to play drums now. Gusto niya raw makasabay sa akin sa tuwing nagda-drumming ako.

"Easy? It's not easy! Hindi ko pa rin makuha!" she hopelessly said and looked up to me with her frustrated gaze.

I chuckled and quickly left a soft kiss on top of her head before taking one of the sticks from her hands. She stood up, giving me more space on the chair and that gave me the freedom to pull her closer so she could sit on one of my leg while I reiterate the steps to her.

"You take the hi-hat and I'll do the bass pedals and snare. We'll do it together. Remember the timing..." I said.

Sinimulan niya ulit ang paghampas at sinabayan ko naman sa timing. Saka ko lang nakita ang ngiti niya nang marinig ang maayos na tugtog ko .

"I think alam ko na ang kanta..." aniya pagkatapos sigurong mapansin kung sa anong kanta ang mga notang tinuturo ko.

She stood out from my leg and handed me the other stick. Ako ang pinagpatuloy niya sa pagdadrum habang sinusubukan niyang habulin kung saang parte na ako ng kanta.

I continued drumming. Nakaakbay ang isang braso niya sa balikat ko habang nakatayo lang siya sa likuran ko at kumakanta. Pagdating sa kalaunang parte ay sinabayan ko na rin siya.

"Use me as you will... Pull my strings just for a thrill... And I know I'll be okay... Though my skies are turning gray...gray..."

I noticed her looking at me while singing the lines of the song. I smiled at her and continued drumming. It always felt good singing with her. It's like breathing fresh air.
