And they meet again ❤

Chapter 44

Catastrophe's Pov

"He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar..." Kanta ko habang sinasabayan ng gitara.

Nandito ako ngayon sa Music room. Inagahan ko talaga para masolo ko ang kwarto. Bukas na magp-present kaya binigay saamin ang buong araw na 'to para magpractice. Pero sa club namin ay wala pang rep.

"Who's he?"

Napapitlag ako ng may nagsalita. Inangat ko ang ulo ko at nakita ko si Kenji na nakasandal ang balikat sa pader at nakaharap sakin.

Umiwas ako ng tingin.

"You don't need to know." Sabi ko at nagstrum.

Narinig ko ang tunog ng sapatos niya hudyat na naglalakad siya palapit.

"I'm just curious." Sabi niya at umupo sa harap ko. "Play again that song. I like that."

"Inuutusan mo ba ko?" Tanong ko sakaniya.

Tinaas niya ang dalawa niyang kamay sign of surrendering, "Woah, easy easy. I just wanted to hear you play again."

Hindi na ako kumibo. Gusto ko din namang tumugtog ngayon. Simula nung napanaginipan ko ang huling araw na kasama namin si Shaz ay bumabagabag na saakin iyon. Lagi ko na silang naaalala. Especially Mawie.

Nagsimula akong magstrum.

"Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about,
And she's got everything that I have to live without."

Ramdam ko ang titig niya habang ako ay kumakanta. Hindi ako tumitingin sakaniya. Imbes, sa gitara lang at dinadama ko ang kanta.

"Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's just so funny 
Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's so damn funny 
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do..." I stopped when memories flashed on my mind again.

Yeah, Mawie is the reason for the teardrops on my guitar. So is Bryce.

"Why did you stop?" Tanong niya sakin.

I looked away when I felt tears on my eyes. Pinunasan ko agad iyon. "Ayoko ng ituloy."

Nakita ko ang pagkunot ng noo niya.

"You... you remembered him?" Tanong niya at tinignan ako ng maigi.

Those chinky eyes...

Nanliit ang mata ko.

"I miss them so damn much." Sabi ko at ginilid ang gitara.

"I bet they are too,"

"Who would miss someone that is the reason why one of the most important people in their life died?" Umiling ako at napangiti ng hilaw.

Hindi siya kumibo pero kinuha niya ang gitara at nagstrum.

Napatingin lang ako sakaniya. Yumuko siya ng saglit at tinignan ako bago ngumiti pagtapos ay tinignan muli ang gitara.

I simply gasped as I heard him sing.

"Tell me that you turned down the man
Who asked for your hand
'Cause you're waiting for me
And I know, you're gonna be away a while
But I've got no plans at all to leave

And would you take away my hopes and dreams and just stay with me?

All my senses come to life
While I'm stumbling home as drunk as I
Have ever been and I'll never leave again
'Cause you are the only one
And all my friends have gone to find
Another place to let their hearts collide
Just promise me, you'll never leave again
Just promise me, you'll always be a friend
'Cause you are the only one..."
