Rhythmic Laws (Law School Series 2)

26

We were in the half of the film when the crowd started cheering. It's the premier night of Only You, and any moment now, my song is finally releasing to the big screen.

Nasa likuran ako kasama ng mga supporting casts at ng iba pang crew, katabi ko rin sila Charmaine at Jared na pinilit kong imbitahin. Samantalang sila Direk Gwen ay nasa harapan namin kasama sila Theo, Lianna, at ang iba pang main cast.

Ahh... ahh–mm...
Ahh... mm–ohh...

Ahh... ahh–mm...
Ahh... mm–ohh...

[This is all that's left, Jia, ito na lang! At sa kakaganyan mo napupuno na ako! Hanggang sa—]

[Saan? Hanggang sa huli? Tangina, pinangako mo sa akin— magkaibigan lang kayo ng babaeng 'yon, pero— tangina, Gio! Naniwala ako sayo, naniwala ako na kahit ilang beses bumulong yung instinct ko, tiniis kong hindi magpakabaliw sa'yo! Pati ba naman ngayon, gagawin mo pa rin akong tanga?]

The crowds were silent this time. Until my voice finally fades into the sound.

Kailan hahangaring magbago ang tao?
Kailan kakailanganin muli ang yakap ko?
Sinulat sa papel, mensahero ko'y apoy
Sa kwento kong laging ikaw ang simula
Huli na para ito pa'y mabura...

[Nung– nung oras na kailangan kita... nasaan ka noon? Noong nasa hospital yung kapatid mo at walang dumating— naghintay ako sa'yo pero... Gio magkasama ba kayo?]

[I'm sorry,]

[I don't think sorrys are enough for me this time, I don't think all the time I've wasted for you won't fit to your sorrys again...]

And then the chorus comes in.

Lilingon ka pa kaya?
O sasaluhin 'king luha?
Ahh... ahh...
Sasandal sa dulo
Sa bigat nito'y guguho
Ohh... ohh...
Sa ating wakas
Sisimulang burahin... ang 'yong bakas...

The crowd began to cheer again, and that wasn't just because the timing of my music, but more importantly how good the delivery of the scene sequence happened.

After the film, nagkaroon kami ng quick break bago isalang sa PRESS.

I got the message notification from him, kaya nagpaalam muna ako kanila Charmaine at Jared para pumunta sa parking.

Medyo natagalan akong hanapin ang kotse pero nang makita ko ito ay pumasok agad ako.

"Congrats Theo!" I greeted him but before I could say anything, he aggressively pulls me.

His hand brushes behind the back of my head and from that, he pulls me closer so he could kiss me deeper.

"Did you see the crowd—" I tried to speak but he doesn't let me and he just continue kissing me, "Theo, this movie will be a hit, sobrang nagustuhan nila—"
