Illicit Love

Kabanata 19

"Spent 24 hours, I need more hours with you
You spent the weekend getting even, ooh
We spent the late nights making things right between us"

I was comfortably sitting while my hands playing expertly on every keys of this piece, the first song I was playing is Girls like you by. Maroon 5. I have to sing 2 songs for the whole duration on this ramp.

"But now it's all good, babe
Roll that back wood, babe
And play me close"

My eyes are still close while feeling every rhytms that I make, It feels europhic. I can't deny that I miss playing and singing, I can't even recognize what I'm feeling right now. I can feel the happiness inside me, but why does it feel so hurt? I wish he can see me right now, I wish he can witness how her daughter plays like a pro musician infront of many people.

"'Cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me
'Til sun down when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Girls like you love fun and, yeah, me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah"

I feel like tearing up but I stay calmed, I don't want to erase my make up.

"Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you"

As soon as I opened my eyes, my eyes landed on the first lady that walking gloriously on the stage while flexing her red lava gown. I tried my best to stay focused on what I'm doing, I can hear different shouts and cheers in the crowd.

"I spent last night on the last flight to you (ey ya)
Took a whole day up trying to get way up, ooh
We spent the daylight trying to make things right between us"

My body swayed in each rythms, this feeling is never fade whenever I'm playing. My smiles grew when the beats of bridge part came.

"Maybe it's 6:45
Maybe I'm barely alive
Maybe you've taken my shit for the last time, yeah
Maybe I know that I'm drunk
Maybe I know you're the one
Maybe you thinking it's better if you drive

Oh, 'cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me
'Til sun down when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah"

Like what she said earlier, I tried to gazed on the crowd. Trying to find her even there are many students in the crowd, I know she's there.

Where are you, Solanna?

"Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you"

Until the last part ended, I can't still find her. I'm starting to feel anxious knowing I can't spot her, my plan is to sing the whole song while staring at her eyes only because this songs is for her. When the second song played, I tried my best to find her. I may be look like a fool here right now because of my moves, I don't care. As long as I can find her.

And there she goes, my woman is gloriously standing there on the corner. Her eyes fix on mine, she's staring at me proudly and I can feel my heart again. Godness, how can she be this majestic as ever? It's dark now, but she's glowing there. She's not smiling, but her eyes shouts so much emotions.

I put my best smile and tried to give her look, saying that 'Just watch me, this song is for you'. I thought she'll ignore it but then she smiled at me and mouted, 'Go on show me!' The excitement is building up inside me, damn this lady for making me do those things that I thought I can't do anymore.
