CAY'S POV

I just came home from The Arena after watching Jeric's game with LA and other Archers. Today is the first game of the Championship series of PBA, ROS vs San Mig coffee, with the first game going home with the Extra rice team! Of course I can never miss this day for my bestfriend. Kahit hindi naman kami okay, I still watch his games live pero sa lowerbox lang. I actually look like a loser dahil mag- isa lang ako.. But its okay. At least kahit from afar, I can still make him feel that I care.. I do care a lot..

From: Jeric Teng

Thank you. ☺️

To: Jeric Teng

Huh?

From: Jeric Teng

Saw you kanina sa crowd. But you didn't came to say Hi. Its been a while since I last saw you watch eh. Thanks again! Sige. I'll rest. :)

Haaaaay. Lagi kaya ako nanunuod, dummy! If you only knew......

To: Jeric Teng

The Archers had extra tix kasi kaya I get to tag along. Congrats!!! :) Gdnight.

I opted to just send a short message kahit deep inside gusto ko pa siya ka- text. I miss my bestfriend so much, ilang weeks na kasi kaming ganito, civil pero you can easily feel na may wall separating us. Frustrating... Hay.

To: Baby❤️

Hi! Nakarating ka na bahay niyo? Thank you again for accompanying me. :) Text me when you get home. Drive safe! 😍

From: Baby❤️

Hi baby! Hindi na ako naka- alis ng Taft! Si Luigi kasi, he wanted to 'bond' with Archers daw.. Lol. Gay! Hahaha. I'll be sleeping sa Archers dorm nalang. :) We'll just eat and play 2k. I'll be fine!

To: Baby❤️

Hahahaha, sira lang kasi controllers niyo kaya gusto niya sa Archers dorm nalang! 😂 Enjoy your night out baaaaby. I'll rest na. Maaga pa ako tomorrow for my duty. I love you. Goodnight! 😘

After I washed up, I sit by my keyboards and played with the keys, trying to play music. I used to hate playing instruments, nung bata pa kasi ako, I had thousands, and I'm not joking on that, extracurricular activities. I had guitar and piano lessons, on top of the that meron pang ballet and karate to name a few. Only child problems. 😜 My love for music only started ng highschool, it was Jeric and I's past time kasi kapag nasa bahay siya. He plays guitar too, dagdag charm daw niya to girls. He didn't even knew na dagdag charm rin niya un sa akim. He was the one who patiently taught me how to read chords and re- learn my guitar skills.. Then eventually, I tried playing keyboards too.

Yes, music express what the words couldn't convey.

There you were in a crowded room

With someone at least I assume

How did i know I would fall in love

With you.... So soon.

Just one look in your eyes and I see the truth

And I try hard to hide that I'm made for you

But I know deep inside things we could do

Just as long as were together....

I can't believe that I feel this way

There is so much that I want to say

I want to

Touch you, hold you
