Lego House - Ed Sheeran

J

He was being insufferable.

Meaning, di niya ko kinakausap. Nakakainis ah. I mean, is this because of what happened kanina?

Yung duet namin sa contract signing. Tapos biglang ang cold cold niya. Para bang nagyelong bigla ang puso niya? Or nawalan, yun tama. Nawala bigla yung puso niya. Kinain ng black hole.

Sa buong time na magkasama kami noon, at sa mga kwento ng mga taong lagi niyang kasama, never nagsungit tong si Marlo.

Ngayon lang.

Well sorry if you wanted to sing that solo. But I had to get my message across.

Right now he is driving me home, and blatantly not talking to me. Para bang hindi niya nirerecognize yung existence ko. Wala siyang katabi, ganun.

Ugh. Bwiset.

I hastily mumbled a thank you then I got out of his car as fast as I could. Kung ayaw mo kong kausap, edi wag.

"Hello po mam. Madami po kayong padala ngayon." Bati ni kuyang guard.

"Kanino galing? Wow ang dami."

"Fans niyo daw po eh."

Choosing this condo was one of the wisest decisions I have ever made. Hindi kase sila nagpapasok kahit sa lobby, even sa parking, unless pumayag yung mga resident.

And I would never agree to those.

I asked the gifts to be brought to my unit. Umakyat na rin ako. Jeez. Napakalma ko dun ah.

A bottle of wine was placed on my table. The tag read 'Congratulations Janella! Cheers!' Hm. Who could this be from?

Ah heck. I need something to drink.

-

"Alam mo kahit inis na inis na ko sayo kanina, nakoooooo. Ikaaaww."

Janella continued poking her laptop screen. It showed a close up shot of his, captured from the signing earlier.

"Makatitig ka sakin oy! Bakit ka ganyaaaan. Hindi kita maintindihaaaan."

Unknown to many, Janella has low tolerance to any alcoholic beverage. Tapos ngayon iinom ng wine diba? Wala pa siya sa kalahati pero ayan, medyo lasing na.

She doesn't know this as well but she's an honest drunk. Hindi naman kase siya drinker, hindi partier and she usually stays at home rather than go out with friends.

A pop up advertisement window for Soundcloud appeared from the website his picture was from.

"Ha. Soundcloud. Alam mo wala ka dito. Wala ka. Wala ka sa soundcloud ko kase ikaw yun. Ikaw na yung kasama ko sa kantahan sa set dati. Di ko na kailangan iparinig sa mundo. Basta marinig mo, okay na. Basta jamming tayo, masaya na.

Noon palang pala, mahal na kita."

Without thinking she logged in to her old, abandoned account and started recording.

.

"I'm gonna pick up the pieces
And build a lego house
If things go wrong we can knock it down"

.

Paulit ulit lang to. Pero di ko na hahayaang mawala ka sakin ulit. Hindi na Marlo.

.

"My three words have two meanings
but there's one thing on my mind
It's all for you"

.

I love you kahit galit ka.
I love you parin kahit nakakainis na.
Aba, mahal nga talaga kita ah.

.

"And it's dark in a cold December
But I got you to keep me warm"

.

Remember December Marlo. Remember December. There's a reason why I spend my Christmas-es only with my family.

That reason is YOU.

.

"If you're broken I will mend you
And keep you sheltered from the
storm that's raging on now

I'm out of touch
I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done

I think I love you better now"

.

Tears were flowing freely from her face, and yet she continued on.

.

"I'm out of sight
I'm out of mind
I'd do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now"

.

She cut the song short. Closing her eyes, she muttered the final lines for the song.

"And out of all these things I've done, I will love you better now"
