CHAPTER 6: THE MUSICIANS HEART BREAK

CHAPTER 6

Mag-dadalawang linggo na niyang di nakikita si Seze. Hindi rin nito sinasagot ang mga tawag niya. inaabangan niya ito sa gate ng sobrang aga, tapos hinihintay niya ito palabas hanggang magdidilim na, kaso hindi niya ito inaabutan. He even tried na pumunta sa bar na tinutugtugan ng banda nito, kaso hindi niya ito nakita duon.

“Mateo, I need to talk to you.”

“If it’s about Seze, I don’t know where she is, and if I know, I won’t even tell you.” May pang-uuyaw sa boses nito.

“Anong ibig mong sabihin?”

“Bribing her, Theo?!” may naririnig siyang pang-uyaw sa mga salita nito. “You’re the lowest. I can’t believe you’re this despicable. Haiysh!” napakamot pa ito sa ulo bago siya iniwan.

He admits that he is wrong, but seeing other guys holding her like that, he grew scared of being left out by the person he really liked. Parang may pumipiga ng puso niya, like he is slowly dying.

He sighed. He surrender, just this once he will surrender. Hindi niya kayang tumagal pa na hindi niya nakikita si Seze. Buong gabi niyang pinag-iisipan kung anong gagawin niya para lang makita ulit ito. He got his phone and tried calling her, pero hindi nito sinasagot iyon. He called his twin instead.

“What do you need, Theo?” may inis sa boses nito.

“Sabihin mo kay Seze na hindi ko na ipipilit na umalis siya sa grupo. I just wanna see her and talked to her.”

“OK, I’ll tell her.” Nagbago ang tono ng boses nito. “Buy her flowers, the most beautiful one, and the most expensive.”

“I will, Mateo.”

“OK, hurry up at nasa bar siya ngayon, nag prapractice siya sa pagkanta.”

Tumayo siya sa pagkakaupo sa sofa at dali-daling lumabas ng bahay. He bought her flowers. Three white long stem tulips at nakabalot ito sa glass quartz container. Excited na siyang makita nito. Dumeretso na siya sa may bar at nakita niya si Seze at mga kaibigan nito na nagkakasayahan. She is smiling, and how he missed her smiles and laughter. He miss her voice, in short he miss her presence.

“Theo” tawag ng kanyang kakambal buhat sa likod, bago pa siya makapasok sa pinto ng bar.

Nilingon niya ito at pinakita ang binili niyang bulaklak. Ngumiti ito at nag-thumbs up pa. When he turned to face Seze and her friends, something pressed his heart hard. She is embracing the same guy. And the next thing the guy did was unexpected. He kissed her in the forehead and he embraced her again.

“Theo?” may pag-aalala sa boses ni Mateo. “Calm…”

Hindi na nito natapos ang sinasabi ng bigla niyang ihagis sa sahig ang bulaklak at gumawa ang pagkabasag ng napakalakas na ingay sa loob ng bar. Nilingon siya ni Seze at mga kaibigan nito. Nakita niyang kinabahan si Seze dahil alam niyang anger is painted all over his face. Magsasalita na dapat ito kaso tumalikod na siya at iniwan ang mga ito.

She is really in a big trouble, and Mateo really confirmed it. Theo is really pissed off. He misunderstood everything he saw. The reason why Bugoy did that is because they got the center stage on the next gig. They will be the next featured band of the month at malaki ang makukuha nilang pera kung sakaling maraming bumili ng ticket. For a band like them, the audience is their life.

The next thing that happened is unexpected.

Nabili na niya ang pananghalian niya. one cup of rice, mainit na sabaw, a fruit juice and ulam niyang kalderetang baka. Uupo na lang siya ng may bumunggo sa kanyang dalawang babae, the juice was spilled in her uniform, maski ang ulam niya at kanin ay tumapon, the hot soup was poured all over her skirt.
