HARMONY
"Guys! ate pangs! namiss din kita, after 2 years!" as she hug me and I hug her back.
Shanea Louisse Constantine. My cousin. The one and only daughter of her parents. And a brat of course. Well, I usually give code names to my special someone like her " ate pangs", though she's simple and pretty.
"Two years? baliw ka talaga. HAHAHA two months lang kaya?" at ginaya niya akong umupo sa sofa ng mga kaibigan niya. Epal naman di ko tulay naupuan si Catastrophe Baymax at Olaffy Frosty ko :( Mas namiss ko pa naman sila kesa kay ate pangs! HAHAHAHA
" Parang ganun na din yun! Lasagna ang cupcakes you want? Guys?" sabay abot ko kay ate pangs at sa iba na rin.
" My favorites!"
"Lahat naman favorite mo. Kita mo ang taba mo na." hahahaha beast mode na siya. Biro lang yun eh. Nairapan tuloy ako.
"Che! sexy kaya ako. Maganda pa." as she said childishly and eat.
" Sabi mo eh."
"Oh ayan na pala si Cliff."
" Guys katahimikan mag-gigitara si Clifford!"
"Woohh "
Clifford Ramirez. My cousin also. Handsome, smart and snob. Girls court him, not him who court girls. I don't get the logic why girls like him even he snobs them. I wonder how many ladies cry because of him. Eventually, he's really smart, running candidate for Summa Cum Laude as his last year in college. I get it, his serious face is very attracting and appealing, why girls can't get enough of him. And his famous smirk.
"Kuya Dude. How's life? I mean college life? May girlfriend ka na noh?" as I ask him teasingly.
" Tss." The famous 'tss.' Halla na tss-zoned ako. Saklap.
" Ouch. Na tss-zoned ako. Eh para san'yang gitara? Wait marunong ka?" as I put my hands on my chest and act as if it aches. HAHA But realization came up that Kuya Cliff knows how to play guitar? Kailan pa?
" No. But you are." and glared me.
Gulped. Paano niya nalaman?
" Wait-- What? Spill. " as she said unbelievably and firm.
Double gupled. O-oh.
" Ha eh- di ah, di ko marunong niyan." sabay tayo papunta sa sofa ko. Pero--
" No. Sit. There's no point in lying. Na-hack account mo sa Fb diba? I watched you're video playing the guitar and you play and sing one of the song of E-heads, Harm" as Kuya Dude said firmly. I'm a dead meat. Taena nung nag hack- talaga nung Fb account ko. Pahamak.
Ako pala yung marunong hindi si Kuya Dude. Psh.
" Tss. Fine. Last Summer. Sa church namin nag-offer sila ng guitar lesson. So I grab it. Tutal wala naman akong pwedeng pagbakasyunan. So I decided na mag-guitar class with my bestfriend. Yung video naman na napanuod mo, hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling yun pero sa Music class namin. Show you talents daw. And it's for my grades sake as a Performance Task. The End." as I said honestly, kasi nga "There's no point in lying." Kuya Cliff.
" Oh my gosh! Pinsan, why so talented? I mean you're good at baking, and knows how to play a guitar. Baka may tinatago ka pa?" Ate Shanea said, unbelievably.
"Nah. Wala na. Amin na nga yung gitara, pagbigyan."
I get the guitar, started humming then strum the strings
It was With a Smile by E-heads
Lift your head, baby, don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
I closed my eyes, singing while smiling
You can't win at everything but you can try
Baby, you don't have to worry
'Coz there ain't no need to hurry
No one ever said that there's an easy way
I open my eyes but smiling.
When their closing all their doors
And they don't want you anymore
This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway
Girl, I'll stay through the bad times
Even if I have to fetch you everyday
I'll get by if you smile
Then I smiled to them sweetly.
"Hanggang doon lang, mahal TF ko." while smiling sheepishly.
"As if. No joke you're good at it. Why not joined in a band. I mean, for fun. Its Christmas Vacation." Kuya Casimir asked.
" I can't lots of stuff to do. I'm committed to church, this week."
" Yeah,perks of being the active member." as Ate Shanea rolled hey eyes heavenward.
" Mind telling you, you really are a music lover." Shanea
"Music always puts me in a better mood, that's why."

Okay, it's late in the evening when I arrived at the house. Lahat tulog na as expected. May duplicate naman ako ng susi ng bahay. Kaantok.
I need to take a shower so I did.
I got my comfy night clothes, usual loose tee and pj's.
December. Cool breeze.
I forgot.
