Chapter 11

Chapter Eleven

"P-play some more." Maya-maya ay saad nito. "It's relaxing." He look at her through his drunk state.

She nodded softly as she started playing the piano again. She want to prolong her time with him. So as long as Chord wants to be with her she'll seize the moment.

She let her fingers have a life of their own and softly pressed the keys.

After a while, she started singing the lyrics of the song.

"And I can't see the end of this,

Just wanna feel your kiss against my lips."

She continued playing as she hum the lyrics.

Pakiramdam niya ay siya lang ang tao ngayon sa silid. She poured all her emotions by playing and singing when she wanted to utter the lyrics loudly.

"I hate you, I love you

I hate that I love you

Don't want to but I can't put nobody else above you."

This is why she like this song, she kinda relates to it.

"I hate you, I love you,

I hate that I want you."

She look at Chord, he is looking intently at her like she is some kind of puzzle.

"You want her, you need her

And I'll never be her."

She softly sang as she look into his empty eyes.

It's like she's not just singing the lyrics anymore. This are the words she wanted to say to him. Thanks to alcohol because she has the courage to do so.

Pero hindi niya matagalan ang titig nito at ang malamig nitong mga mata. She look away and watch her hands as it softly touch the keys. Nagfocus na lang siya sa pagtugtog.

"All alone I watch you watch her

Like she's the only girl you've ever seen."

She sang the lyrics of this part. Feel na feel kasi niya eh. Though she only watch him watch Megan's grave.

"You don't care you never did

You don't give a damn about me."

Damn. That hit her like a fucking bullet. Sapul na sapul siya doon.

"Yeah all alone I watch you watch her

She is the only thing you ever see."

Which is true. When will he see me?

"How is it you never notice

That you are slowly killing me."

Mariin siyang pumikit. Salamat talaga sa Jack Daniels at malakas ang loob niya ngayon. She opened her eyes and look at Chord intently as she sing the last lines of the song.

"I hate you, I love you

I hate that I love you

Don't want to but

I can't put nobody else above you."

Kung posible lang, itinigil na niya ang kahibangan na ito. But as the song say, don't want to but I can't put nobody else above you.
