"Shut up! I will sing whenever I want to. "
Nasa malayo pa lang ako ng pintuan ng Music Room 2 pero dinig ko na ang sigaw ni Niña.
"Then what are you doing here? We are here to practice! If you don't really want to sing, then go out! Ngayon na!" asik ni Phillip
Here we go again.
World War 3 na naman ba ito?
Ewan ko sa dalawang 'yan!
They hate each other but can't live without the presence of one another.
"Don't you dare tell me what to do! I am not and will never be yours!" dinig kong sumbat ni Niña kay Phillip
What the hell happened here?
Gulat akong napatingin sa bratilyang mabilis na nagmamartsa palabas sa MR.
Ano daw? Pa'no ba 'to?
Pinapunta ba nila ako dito para may audience sa LQ nila?
Hanep ah!
"Hoy! Anong drama 'yan?" pigil ko sa kanyang madramang walkout
Nakakarindi na 'tong dalawang 'to!
"Kausapin mo 'yong bugok mong pinsan!"
Singhal niya sa mukha ko at di pa nakuntento dinuro pa ako!
Galit na galit?
Isang konting pitik nalang sasabog na 'to!
"Rooftop muna ako."
At tuluyan nang nagwalk out.
I'm immune to these scenes. Mag-aaway, magwawalkout, magbangayan, magsakitan both physically and mentally.
What now?
Mabilis kong tinahak ang MR at napahinto ako nang narinig ko ang mura at ingay ng suntok sa pader.
Ano ba talagang nangyari?
Pesteng katorpehan yan! Subukan mo kayang sundan baka mailabas mo pa 'yang nag-uumapaw mong pag-ibig, pinsan.
I hurridly get inside and saw how he harshly wiped his damn tears away.
Oh wait, did he just cry?
Nilapitan ko siya at niyakap. I hugged him as tight as I could and he doesn't move. All I heared was his sobs in a small voice.
I don't want to throw him a question at this very moment not only because I already know the answer but also the fact of realization of his own flaws.
Hesitations of all things.
I sighed at his back.
Should I stop this thing?
All my life I've been a cupid to everyone. I've been a bridge, a matchmaker and a fate. I've been a writer of their love effin story. All the manipulation was done.
If I want them to be together, then no one can stop me. If not, believe me fate takes a move.
I thought I can be so happy with these stupid things but beyond my expectation, I was more than happy. I was overwhelmed to see how happy they can and will be.
Bumitaw siya sa yakap ko.
"I'm sorry." he then said without looking at me
For what?
I tapped his back and told him a lie.
"It's okay."
It's really not okay. You should not be sorry! You should go after her! You're being so coward!
Gusto kong isigaw sa mismong mukha niya't lahat lahat. But I can't and I don't know why.
"Okay, on three. Let's do it again. One two three."
Nagitla ako sa basag na hampas ng drums.
"Isaiah, downward stroke.
On three."
Phillip commanded as he clapped his hands. Parang wala lang nangyari.
Tss.
"Kean, dude face up!"
Binawi niya ang tingin niya sa kanyang gitara at tumingin sa salamin as what Phillip wanted him to do.
Hindi ba siya nag-iisip? How can his bandmate perform well at this point? Eh siya nga parang wala sa sarili.
Really? Napahinto ako nang nagsink in lahat. His bandmates are here? What the. Did they saw everything? Oh great, hindi lang pala ako ang audience. These two really love the spotlight.
Isa isa ko silang nginitian.
The Echo Band is really here. Tengene para akong tanga dito.
I don't want to go out of this room gusto ko silang panoorin kaya umupo ako sa pinakadulo ng silid at umupo. Napapikit ako sa lamig ng boses ng pinsan ko. Ever since he chose to sing I am already his number one supporter. Everytime he sings he let his heart out. He is genuinely singing. Just like now.
Now playing: Not Just You by Cody Simpson
Darling,
I know your heart's seen better times.
I know our songs had better rhymes.
Before today, no...
Darling,
I guess I made the wrong mistakes.
I understand if you need your space.
Please take your time.
Before you go away, so far away,
You need to realize.
Baby, it's not just you.
You know it hurts me too.
Watching you leave,
With tears on your sleeve
Don't you notice that mine aren't exactly dry?
Baby, it's not just you.
That's hurting,
It's me too.
I'm sorry,
I wasn't there to catch the fall.
I didn't hear you when you've called,
All of those nights.
Please don't forget the good days with me.
I can make back the heart aching beat
When it gets dark and it's hard to see,
I'll turn on the li-
Napatingin ako sa kanila nang tumigil sa pagtugtog si Isaiah pati narin si Kean. My eyes widened when I looked the door. Fvck the brat is back!
I saw Phillip in my peripheral view he is still gripping the microphone while looking at Niña Feberly Pescante intensely.
I stood upright in my place, sisigaw na ba ako? Let the battle begin! Ganon?
"Tuloy niyo lang, I'll just get my bag. Bukas na ako magpapractice."
She said those words without looking at us. Dinampot niya ang kanyang bag at nagmartsa palabas.
Boplaks! Habulin mo!
And with that, binagsak niya ang mic at hinabol ang kanyang damsel in distress.
Hindi ko mapigilang hindi lumundag sa tuwa. Their love story goes on my will.
Tumalon-talon ako at pumalakpak na parang retarted snail. I am just happy to the point that I can't even stop what I am doing!
Tumatalon ako na nakabungisngis at walang tunog na pumapalakpak sa harap ng pintuan nang biglang bumukas ang pinto.
"Kean, lolo wa----
Hindi niya tinapos ang sasabihin at sinara ang pinto.
Nagulat ko ba?
Why on earth that guy is here?
Hiningal na ako kakalundag pero hindi pa rin tumigil ang mga paa ko.
Letse! Sira na ba 'tong ulo ko?
Hihinto na sana ako nang bumukas ulit ang pinto at bumungad sa akin ang mukha ni Clifford.
"Can you stop that? It's too obvious."
Asik niya sa mukha ko.
Ano daw?
"What?"
Sa wakas may letseng dahilan na ako para tumigil kakalundag at kakapalakpak.
"Hindi ka ba marunong magtago ng kilig? Naman o, harap harapang lumundag ka na may palakpak pa."
Hindi ko madigest lahat ng sinabi niya. Ewan ko kung sa kahabaan o sa kabantutan.
Ano nga ulit?
Ako kinilig sa kanya? Talaga?
"Wow. Just wow."
I can't compose killer phrase right now! Yun lang ang nasabi ko sa mahangin na nilalang na yon at tinalikuran pagkatapos.
Really?
I can't believe this day!
What a full of surprises!
