Rhythm of Love [w2e]

chapter 6

The whole balcony is filled with the dulcet sound of guitar and his soothing voice. I was about to leave him there but...

"The game is over?" nang bigla siyang magsalita.

Does he know I'm here?

"U-uh... obviously." tugon ko,

Huminto siya sa pagtipa ng kaniyang gitara at saka'y lumingon sa gawi ko.

"Did you guys win? Congrats." malamyang sabi niya.

Ngumuwi ako.

"Why are you here alone instead of joining them to get along. Kaya nga tayo nandito to enjoy, right?" tanong ko.

Loner ba siya? Then, ba't siya sumama?

He sighed. "Yeah, looks like you really enjoy it, huh?" he mumble.

Ano daw?

He started to pluck his guitar again. It is unfamiliar to me, ngayon ko lang ito narinig. I'm wondering kung kasama ba ito sa ire-release nilang album.

"I can't be your love..."

"Look it's too trivial for you now..."

He started to sing the song that I have not heard before.

"Oh, my life's fallin' apart... Maybe no one will know if I disappear."

There's something to the song, na parang familiar sa'kin, though I haven't heard this yet, as in ngayon lang.

"But I'll... pray for you... all the time..."

"If I could be.... by your side... I'll give you all my life my seasons..." and he stopped

Matinding katahimikan ang nangibabaw sa atmosphere naming dalawa, hindi ako nakaalis sa kinatatayuan ko, I was about to speak but then..

"This song was written when I was in America.." nang magsalita siya. "Hate this song you know that?" nang bumaling siya sa'kin.

"Why?" I asked.

"Beacuse it reminds me of you." he simply replied.

I was speechless that night, I don't know what I'm going to react to, but even so what he said last night makes me really confused now.

"Tara na miss Ki! Swimming na tayo!" aya ni Lj wearing her kimono sheer cover up and two piece swimsuit.

Nagdadalawang isip ako kung ano ang susuotin ko ang dami ko kasing dalang swimwear so I asked Lj to have an idea.

That's why I bring alot of things here, good thing Lj is here.

"Itong two piece na color black ma'am, bagay to sa'yo, ang classy niya." tinignan ko yung hawak niyang swimsuit.

"Is that so?"

"Yes miss, then partneran mo nalang ng cover up"

I changed my outfit, sinuot ko yung sinuggest ni Lj. It looks good. I clamped my hair using the black hair clamp and wear my sunglasses. Lumabas ako ng restroom when I'm done.

"Wow miss, ang sexy mo! Tara iflex natin yan" napailing  naman ako sakaniya at sumunod.

Such a lovely sunny day. Pumunta kami sa mga kasamahan natin they were looking at us. I feel conscious tuloy sa suot ko.

"Hi Kiya" nanglumapit sa'kin si Erickson naghiyawan ang iba. "I just wanna to say thank you again about last night," parang nahihiya niyang sabi.

"Ah, yeah, that's nothing. You deserve it naman." I said politely.

"Not gonna lie but you look great, by the way, have you eaten?" wika niya.

While I'm talking to Erick, my eyes already found where Daniel is. He looks so serious like he has a gloomy day.

"Not yet, Erick." I answered.

"Then c'mon let's eat with them!" aya niya.

Wala akong nagawa, kun'di ang sumunod. Today, I feel like someone is watching me.

When we're done eating, nagpaalam ako na pupunta ako ng restroom. While I'm walking, nakasalubong ko si Daniel sa hallway. Wearing a plain black t-shirt and loose pants. I was about to walk away but he's blocking my way.

"What?" I asked annoyingly.

Tumingin siya sa buong kabuoan ko, and that look makes me more conscious, his eyebrows frowned tila hindi nagugustuhan ang nakikita.

"What are you looking at? Tabi, dadaan ako." I said.

Bakit ba siya ganiyan.

He sighed.

"I... I don't like it." mahina niyang sabi.

What?

I am so confused since last night sa mga ikinikilos niya, hindi lang last night kun'di these past few days. He really gives me mixed signals, and that makes me feel uncomfortable.

"You don't like, what?" I asked aggressively.

He let out a deep breath, "Nothing... nevermind." he replied while shaking his head then walked passed me by.
