Twinkling Melancholy (Rebel Rhapsody #1)

Kabanata 7

Big Deal

I shook my head and smiled. As I read the comments from the casual viewers and fans after the video with Kairo went viral last night while we were singing a duet.

"AAAAAHH ANG GANDA NG BLENDING"

"Gago ang ganda ng boses! We need the full version!"

"BAKIT GANUN YUNG MGA MATA NILA"

"GAGO KINIKILIG AKO MAY CHEMISTRY!"

"MABUHAY TAYONG MGA BADING! GO FLORIAN!!!"

I scoffed, really? Are they making such a big deal out of that video? It's just a video of us, okay? We were just singing. I mentally cursed ng maalala na naman ang nangyari kagabi.

I was left in awe after that performance, may naramdaman akong kakaiba pagkatapos nun. Tapos si Kairo ay parang wala lang sa kanya, he seems use to it. Muli kong pinanood yung video.

Tang ina? Kita kita ko yung pagtitig ko kay Kairo. I was literally staring at him the whole time. Well, I was shocked okay? Hindi ko inaasahan na sasabay siya sa outro and that damn voice?

"You will bring this band on my wedding,"
I was surprised by my brother's sudden appearance in my room.

I rolled my eyes. With the number of views on that darn video, I wouldn't be surprised if my family saw it too

"Tsaka yung Kairo, tapos mag du-Aray ko, gago!"

I threw my pillow at him. Bwesit! Alam ko na agad ang bungad niya e.

"Hindi ko yun close!" I hissed and glared at him. Tumawa naman siya.

"Ganung mga lalaki dapat ang pinapatulan mo."

Binato ko ulit siya, hihirit pa e.

"Get out! I'm studying, pang gulo ka!" Natawa siya lalo at ginulo ang buhok ko bago siya tumayo.

"Rian, mag reready na ako. I know you'll-"

"Fuck you!" I didn't let him finish and slammed the door shut.

Napaupo muli ako sa kama ko, bwesit talaga yun. Napaka lakas ng trip. At anong mag reready? Para saan? Kanina si Mama ang nang-aasar sa akin tapos ngayon si Kuya. Bwesit na pamilya 'to.

Nasa Batangas ako ngayon, kagabi din ako umuwi. I don't know how to I manage to travel here in Batangas. Hindi naman ako lasing, hinatid ako nina Maddy sa condo ko tapos nagpalipas lang ng oras tsaka ako umalis. Napagalitan pa nga ako ni Mama, saying that was reckless kasi I was under the influence of alcohol.

I glanced at my phone when it rang. It was a message from Maddy.

Maddy:

Kamusta? Have you seen the videos and comments? Riaaaan! Shiniship kayong dalawa.

Maddy:

Anong reaction nina tita? Can I call?

Maddy:

Told you! Bagay kayo ni Kairo!

Hindi pa dun natapos, I recieved a couple of text from our GC. Kung ano-ano, puro pang aasar. They were pointing how awe I am, kung paano ko titigan si Kairo dun sa video. Kung paano ako tumingin. Tang ina? Tama lang pala na nag private ako ng account ko.

I turned off my phone. Such distractions. I'm here to focus on studying. Uuwi din naman ako bukas ng hapon.

I focus myself on reading and studying. Talagang seryoso ako when it comes sa pag-aaral. Lumalandi ako pero study came first. Gusto ko don imaintain ang pagiging DL. Isang taon na lang naman, malay mo maging running pa for laude.
