My First Crossfaith Story

MFCS 22: His So-Called Queen

HIROKI IKEGAWA

Dalawang araw na ang nakalipas mula no'ng first Philippine concert ng ONE OK ROCK. Nasaksihan ko kung paano mag-fangirl si CL sa kaibigan kong si Toru. I grinned upon remembering our birthday surprise for Lyric. The best ang effort ni tukayong Hiroki sa pagkanta ng Filipino song para kay birthday girl.

Nasabi ko na rin sa ONE OK ROCK na extended ang bakasyon ko sa Pilipinas. Naisip ko na rin na baka sundan na rin ako ng bandmates ko kapag nagtagal ako rito.

I decided to call Lyric. Kukumustahin ko lang si birthday girl (two days ago). I tapped my finger on the table while waiting for her to answer my call. I'm here at Zandrei's pad, as usual.

I smiled when she picked up the phone. [Hello, Hiroki!]

"Hey there, Lyric. How are you?"

[Pretty fine. We're just planning Hiro's birthday. You're still here in the Philippines? I thought you already left with OOR.]

Naglakad-lakad ako sa loob ng pad ni Zandrei habang kausap si Lyric. Napatigil ako sa tapat ng malaking Crossfaith poster na nakasabit sa wall. "I decided to extend my stay here. Where's the celebration? Can I come?"

[Sure! It will be held at CL's resto bar, E.R.R.O.R. The celebration will start later up to the 25th.]

CL's resto bar? May chance na makikita ko ulit si CL. "Thanks, but don't tell them that I will come, okay?"

[Okie dokie. Thanks, Hiroki.]

"See you guys, later. Bye, Lyric."

[Bye!]

See you later, My Queen.

Pumunta agad ako kina Courtney Love after receiving her text message na may plano pala silang 5-day birthday celebration for Hirobabes. Ang shock ko lang talaga nang malaman na siya at si Hiroki Moriuchi ay iisa. Well, carbon copy naman kasi sila at okay na rin na ipinagtapat na nya ang totoo.

The good news here is, they can perform as MY FIRST STORY at E.R.R.O.R. later! I told them that they can stay at our ancestral house near Courtney Love's.

The bad news is, kung bad news nga, hindi ko pa nasasabi kay Courtney Love na nakasama ko mag-breakfast si Ikegawa. Tinawag-tawag ko pa siyang girly ink guy with matching taas-kilay nang sabihin ng best friend ko na sana ay nandito pa sa Pilipinas ang bassist ng Crossfaith.

Sorry na kung na-okray kita, Ikegawa!

Hindi rin nakaligtas sa'kin si Jana dahil na-kwento nya sa'min na napanaginipan daw nya na hinalikan siya ni Toru. I told her that dream is the opposite of reality and I am the only legal and gorgeous future wife of ONE OK ROCK'S guitarist and leader. Nagpaalam na rin ako sa kanila na babalik na ako ng E.R.R.O.R. para mag-prepare. Nagmagandang-loob pa si Teruki na ihatid ako hanggang gate.

"Thanks, Teruki. I'll see you guys later at E.R.R.O.R!" I waved at him and hopped in my car. He gave me a salute in return.

While on my way to E.R.R.O.R, my phone vibrated. Si Levin ang nag-text.

From: Levin

Hey Love-Love! Are you free next week? Let's go on a date. Bring that Hiroki with you. Double date. 😋

Napailing na lang ako. Hindi ko nga alam kung nandito pa rin si Ikegawa sa Pinas dahil after ng breakfast at E.R.R.O.R. namin kahapon ay hindi ko na siya nakausap. Walang text message. Wala ring phone call. Hindi kaya bumalik na siya ng Japan?
