Jairus' POV of the scene. Enjoy!

Chapter 13

"Nakita kong umiiyak si Hannah, anong nangyari?" pagkalabas ni Hannah ay pumasok naman si Mark at tinanong siya nito

"I ended it" simpleng sagot niya dito at tumango naman ito

"Jackpot na sana si Hannah, sayang" anito

"I needed to end it. And i know you know why"

"All of us know. T*ngina pre! Lakas ng puso mo... hindi ba yan napapagod? Alam mo nang masakit pero sige pa din" tanong nito at bahagya siyang napatawa

"Napapagod naman, pero it's up to us naman kung ano ang pipiliin natin di ba? to hold on or to let go. And i want to hold on" sagot niya dito. Napailing lang naman ulit ito.

"To hold on? May kinakapitan ka pa ba? May pinanghahawakan ka pa ba? Jairus bestfriend ka lang"

"T*ngina pare sakit mong magsalita ah" sabi niya dito. Pero tama naman kasi ito... pilit siyang kumakapit sa isang bagay na di naman niya dapat kapitan.

"G*go! Naalala mo ba nangyari sa akin? Binigay ko lahat lahat, nagmakaawa ako, kahit ang sakit sakit na sige pa din ako... kasi mahal ko. At anong nangyari sa akin? Naiwan akong basag na basag. Ayokong mangyari sa'yo yun" seryosong sabi nito sa kanya

"Para kay Sharlene kaya kong mabasag" sagot niya dito at nagkibit balikat ito at bahagya siyang tinapik.

"Mamaya pag gusto mong kumanta sabihin mo lang"

---

I remember the time you sat and told me
About your Jesus, and how not to look back
Even if no one believes us
When it hurts so bad, sometimes
Not having you here

'Tonight' ang opening song nila ngayon. And he can still feel Mark's pain everytime he hears him sing the song. Magiging ganoon din kaya siya pag nagkataon? Ilang taon na din nung iniwan ito ni Christine pero hindi pa din ito nakakapag move on. Paano pag nalaman ni Sharlene ang nararamdaman niya dito at iwan din siya? Anong mangyayari sa kanya?

I sing
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands
To come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

Habang nagii-strum ng gitara ay napatingin siya paligid at laking gulat niya ng makita si Sharlene. Nasa malayo man ito ay alak niyang si Shar iyon, hindi siya pwedeng magkamali, kilalang kilala niya ito.

He looked straight into her eyes and he can feel how sad she is at the moment. Nang tumulo ang luha nito ay napatigil siya sa pag gigitara. She needs him right now, kailangan niyang puntahan ito, he can't stand seeing her like this..

Aalisin na sana niya ang gitara para puntahan ito pero umiling ito, Sharlene even mouthed 'No' and 'Please' kaya napabuntong hininga na lang siya. Gusto na niyang puntahan ito pero di naman niya pwedeng iwanan ang banda in the middle of the performance kaya nag strum ulit siya pero di na umalis ang mga mata niya sa mga mata ni Sharlene

I sing
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands
To come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

At natapos na ang kanta. Imbes na lapitan ito ay naisipan niyang kumanta muna para dito. He wants to dedicate a song to her.

"Mark i want to sing. Like we used to" bulong niya sa kaibigan. Tiningnan siya nito na tila nagtataka pero um-oo naman at binigay ang gitara dito.

"Nandito si Sharlene, umiiyak" narinig niyang sabi ni Justin. They saw her too.

"Tama lang na kumakapit ka pa. She's here. May kinakapitan ka pa din" bulong ni Mark at nag strum ng gitara. Tiningnan niya ulit si Sharlene, pinipigilan na nito ang pag-iyak

Para sa'yo Sharlene.

I can feel her breath
As she's sleeping next to me
Sharing pillows and cold feet
She can feel my heart
Fell asleep to its beat
Under blankets and warm sheets
If only I could be in that bed again
If only it were me instead of him

Ramdam na ramdam niya ang kanta. First time niyang narinig ito ay last week at sumakit ang puso niya. Now she's singing this song for her at nasasaktan pa din siya. Ang hirap naman kasi ng sitwasyon niya. Bakit sa dami daming tao sa bestfriend pa niya siya na inlove?

Does he watch your favorite movies?
Does he hold you when you cry?
Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts
When you've seen it a million times?
Does he sing to all your music
While you dance to Purple Rain?
Does he do all these things
Like I used to?

Wala siyang ibang ginawa habang kumakanta kundi ang tingnan ito. He wants to know bakit malungkot ito. Kung ano ba ang mga pagkukulang ni Francis dito.

Fourteen months and seven days ago
Oh, I know you know
How we felt about that night
Just your skin against the window
Oh we took it slow
And we both know
It should have been me inside that car
It should have been me instead of him in the dark

Does he watch your favorite movies?
Does he hold you when you cry?
Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts
When you've seen it a million times?
Does he sing to all your music
While you dance to Purple Rain?
Does he do all these things
Like I used to?

I know love
(I'm a sucker for that feeling)
Happens all the time, love
(I always end up feeling cheated)
You're on my mind, love
(Oh darling, I know I'm not needed)
It happens all the time, love, yeah

Will he love you like I loved you?

At nagsimulang tumulo ang mga luha niya. He's confessing to Sharlene now. Mahal niya ito at di na niya kayang itago pa iyon

Will he tell you every day?
Will he make you feel like you're invincible
With every word he'll say?

Umiling ito na tila sagot sa kanta niya. Kaya nagsisisi na siya, he should have given them a chance. Sana pala lumaban siya. Sharlene should have been happier with him. Tama ang kuya nito.

Can you promise me if this was right,
Don't throw it all away?
Can you do all these things?
Will you do all these things
Like we used to?

Oh, like we used to

Pagkatapos nang kanta ay bumaba siya ng stage para lapitan ito. Wala na siyang pakialam kung lahat ng tao sa bar ay nakatingin sa pagbaba niya sa stage. She needs him now, at di rin naman niya maipagkakaila na miss na miss na niya ito. Pagkaharap na pagkaharap dito ay ngumiti siya dito.

"Wag ka nang umiyak. Nandito na ako" sabi niya dito at niyakap naman siya nito at humagulhol

"I missed you... I missed you it hurts" anito

I missed you too...
