Music and Guitar

Prologue

"Mahal..." I called my boyfriend who is lying in my lap.

"Hmm.."he answered

"Can you sing again for me?" I ask him without hesitations

"But..., mahal alam mo naman diba na ayaw ko?" he said while looking at my eyes. I know why he don't want to sing again but, I want to hear his voice singing.

"Please mahal just this one po". Pinahaba ko ang aking bibig na parang nalulungkot.

"I'm scared mahal...".He said while her eyes are still looking at me.

"I'm here mahal?. I'm always here, I don't let anyone to do the truma you got from our past again my love".I said then i kiss his forehead.

"But-". I cut him

"No more buts mahal, I play the guitar and you sing okay?". I said and kiss his lips.

"Fine!, para sayo, love you mahal".

"I love you too mahal, let's start?, he nodded slowly and I get the guitar from my back.

"Hmm..., let's do the song"You be safe here" maha?.

"Hmm.."

I placed the guitar on my lap and  he already get up in fron of me.

I start playing the guitar and he also start singing.

"Nobody knows just why we're here"

"Could it be fate or circumstance?"

"At the right place, and the right time"

"Two roads intertwine"

Naka titig lamang ako sakanya habang gumagalaw ang aking mga kamay sa gitara.
Ang boses nya, sa subrang daming taon ang lumipas, ngayun ko nalang ulit narinig ang maganda nyang boses.

"And if the universe conspired"

"To meld our lives, to make us, fuel and fire"

"Then know wherever you will be"

"So too, shall I'll be"

He continue while his eyes are still looking at mine. Napaka daming emosyon ang nakikita ko sakanyang kulay abong mga mata. Malungkot, takot, masaya?

"Close your eyes, dry your tears"

"'Cause when nothing seems clear"

"You'll be safe here"

"From the sheer weight"

"Of your doubts and fears, weary heart"

"You'll be safe here"

Habang kinakanta ng aking mahal ang linyang ito ang kanyang mga luha ay nag-umpisa nang magsilaglagan.

I'm just looking at him crying without doing anything, I don't know why. I don't want to see him cry but this time I want to let him cry everything, lahat nag mabibigat nyang dinadala sa loob ng kanyang dibdib.

He stopped and I also stopped and I went closer to him and gave  him a big tight hug.

"Mahal please always remember that, I'm always here by your side okay? Let's heal your trauma together okay? I love you so much". I said while hugging him and kissing his messy hair.

He just hugged me tightly and buried his head on my shoulder.

I love this man.

He is strong.

He is Independent.

He is Gentle.

He's not okay he's just pretending that he's okay but he's not.
