Chapter Twenty Nine*

[ANDREI's POV]
*At the Love Cafe Bar

Nandito kami ngayon para mag-unwind. Nakaka-ilang baso na din kami ng alak.

"Hi guys!" Bati ni Xander sa mga manunuod. Wala kasi si Precie na siyang kakanta sana ngayong gabi kaya ang asawa na lang nito ang humalili dito.

"And now for the last song that I will sing tonight is from.." kinuha nito ang isang papel. "It was from.. Oh! A guy!" he exclaimed. "Hindi niya sinulat ang pangalan niya so probably it's one of you. Maybe he was just too shy to say his name. By the way, may sinulat kasi siya for this special girl."

Lahat naman kami interesadong makinig nang makita ko mula sa sulok ng mga mata ko si Tiffany.. Yes. She's here with..

With Isaac!

Parang nagdidilim ang paningin ko habang nakikita ko silang nagtatawanan at nagbubulungan! The heck!

"Hi my special girl." binaling ko na lang ang atensyon ko kay Xander na ngayon ay binabasa ang nakasulat sa papel. "I've known you since we were kids. I have love you since then. I know we're too different and you don't like me that's why I force my feelings onto you."

Ako ba 'yun? Nah! Hindi naman ako ang nagsulat niyan ah. Wala akong sinusulat e. But it was sounded as if I am the one wrote it.

"Remember the time that I ask you to be my girlfriend? Ah. Binasted mo ako." lahat ng tao mukhang na-curious na din kaya tahimik ang mga ito habang nakikinig kay Xander. "It was the most painful experience that I've gone through. Knowing that I can't even show you that I love you because you hated me for the fact that I love you."

"Kawawa naman 'yung guy." sabi ng katabi naming lalaki sa malapit.

"Hindi mo naman kasi matuturuan ang pusong magmahal e. Kusang tumitibok 'yun." sabi naman ng katabi nitong babae.

"Time flies, I'm still pursuing my love for you. Then a miracle happened. You said the magic words to me. You love me too. Hindi mo alam kung gaano ako kasaya ng araw na 'yun na ang pakiramdam ko, mas mayaman pa ako kay bill gates."

Nagsingitian naman ang iba.

"I showed you my love. I gave you everything I have just for you to be happy. But.." huminto si Xander, umungol naman ang mga tao dahil nabitin ang mga ito. Tumawa lang si Xander at ipinagpatuloy ang pagbabasa. "That night came into our life and everything has changed completely."

"I got into an accident. I was blind for almost six months. And when I finally can see, you're not there with me. Just a couple of days gone by and you talked to me, you said that you love somebody else and that you're getting married."

Halos lahat napa-oh at oh my god sa narinig.

"Miserable." sabi naman ni Ej na siyang katabi ko.

"Kawawa naman 'yung lalaki." sabi naman ni Jm.

"Kung ako 'yun! Aba! Maghahanap na lang ako ng iba!" si Keith.

"I was too shock that I can't even said object. And when you said goodbye.. I thought.. I wanted to die. Or maybe I am just dreaming? This is not true. You still love me."

"Grabe. Naging radio drama ang gabing ito." Pabulong na sabi ni Keith.

"I want you to be happy. But your happiness is my sorrow. But I still want you to be happy even if it was not me at your side. I want to see your smile even if it's not me you're looking at. Still, I want you to be happy because I love you."

Medyo nagiging sentimental na din ang mga nandoon. Ang iba pa nga'y sinisisi ang babae at ang iba'y naaawa sa lalaki.

"I just want to know one thing.. When did you stop loving me?" tumigil si Xander pagkatapos ay hinawakan na nito ang gitara. "To that special lady, I.. simply don't know what to say. But this is for you." he started strumming his guitar.
