Ilang subo ko ng kanin ay napahinto ako at napatingin kay Ezekiel na ngayon ay may hawak na gitara. Nakatitig siya sa kanyang daliri sa gitara at gumalaw ito.
"Lift your head
Baby don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by
With a smile.
You can't win at everything
But you can try.
Baby you don't have to worry
'Coz there ain't no need to hurry
No one ever said that there's an easy way.
When they're closing all their doors and they don't want you anymore, This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway."
Nag angat siya ng tingin saakin at nagtama ang aming mata.
"Girl I'll stay,
Thru the bad times.
Even if I have to fetch you everyday.
We'll get by,
With a smile
You can never be too happy in this life.
In a world where everybody hates a happy ending story
It's a wonder love
Can make the world go round
But don't let it bring you down
And turn your face into a frown.
You'll get along
With a little prayer and a song."
Huminto siya at ngumit saakin.
"Ngumiti kana Kezay.. please.."
Napangiti akong nakatitig sa kanya.
Nagsimula ulit siyang mag strum.
"Lift your head
Baby don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by
With a smile
Now it's time to kiss away
Those tears goodbye..
To doo doo.. too doo doo doo doo"
Huminto siya at tumabi saakin. Nakangiting sinundan siya ng aking mga mata.
"Ang ganda ng boses mo Ezekiel!" Totoo yun. Maganda ang boses niya.
Hinawakan niya ang palad ko at seryosong nakatingin sa mga mata ko.
"Magpakasal tayo Kezay.. ako ang tatayong ama sa anak mo.. lalayo tayo dito, dadalhin kita sa new york at doon tayo manirahan na tayong dalawa lang.. ipinapangako ko sayo na gagawin ko ang lahat para sayo.."
Ngumiti ako at tumango. Hindi pa huli ang lahat! Siguro matutunan ko din na mahalin si Ezekiel. Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit. This time, sisiguraduhin kona na tama ang desisyon ko at ang taong mamahalin ko.
