Once There Was LOVE

15. Grand Ball

THIRD PERSON

Gaya ng inaasahan ni Kazumi, ay dinaanan muna nila si Stella. Napaka ganda din ng gabing 'yun si Stella, suot ang kanyang black evening gown.

Nakarating na sila sa school, ang dami nang mga estudyante. Agad napukaw ang atensyon ng lahat ng bumaba ng kotse sila Kazumi.

"Grabe ang ganda ni Kazumi!"

"Im pretty sure, siya na naman ang mananalong Prom queen."

"Wait! kasama niya kuya niya!"

"Kkkkyyyyaaaaahhhh! Ang gwapo ni Gaijin!"

"Bongga ng gown ha,"

"Hmmmp! Nadaan lang 'yan sa pag aayos noh!"

Yan ang mga maririnig mula sa mga estudyante, ngunit hndi na lang nila pinansin iyon.

Paupo pa lang si Kazumi, ay may mga kalalakihan nang gustong makipagsayaw sakanya. Agad naman niya itong pinaunlakan.

Kasalukuyang kasayaw niya ngayon ang Vice President ng Student Council nang lapitan sila ni Leigh.

"Excuse me, pwede bang ako na ang magpatuloy ng sayaw niyo?" nakangiting sabi ng binata.

Bagaman ayaw ng kasayaw ni Kazumi ay wala na itong nagawa, dahil sa takot ito kay Leigh, kaya't pinaubaya na niya ang dalaga.

KAZUMI

Huuuwwwaaaatttt?!

o_____O

What.Is.He.Doing.here?

Leigh is here!

Oh well, tataka pa ba ako eh part sila ng program mamaya.

"Excuse me, pwede bang ako na ang magpatuloy ng sayaw niyo? nakangiti niyang sabi sa partner ko.

Gosh! He suddenly hold my waist. I gasped. I can feel his scent. *sniff* *sniff* Ambango!

We're the king and queen of hearts..

Hold me when the music starts..

All my dreams come true..

When i dance with you..

"Para kang bulaklak na pinagkakaguluhan ng mga bubuyog, baby." bulong niya habang pumapa ibabaw ang tugtog na King and Queen of hearts. "You never missed a single piece."

Promise me, your mine tonight..

I won't wait in line tonight..

While the lights are low..

I'll never let you go..

"Why you're here?" I calmly asked. Ang kuya ko kasi malamang nandun na iyun sa likod ng halamanan kasama si Stella. "I thought mag peperform lang kayo mamaya?" Magkahiwalay kasi ang building nila sa builing ng mga highschool. Although isang malaking school ito, iba ang kanila, kung sa highschool ang name ng school namin ay, D.H.A, which means Dalton High Academy. Ang sa College naman ay D.H.U, o ang Dalton High University.

Did i dream that we danced forever..

In a wish that we made together..

On a night that i prayed would never end..

"Im surprised, you asked me that, dont you remember pagmamay-ari ng pamilya ko ang school na 'to? I can do anything."

Yeah right! So stupid of me.

>____>

No it's not my imagination..

Or a part of the orchestration..

Love was here at the coronation..

Wala na kasi akong maisip na tanong. Ang awkward ng feeling.

I'm the king and you the queen of hearts..

"You look good baby, As if your celebrating your debut." tinignan ko ang mga mata niya. Nagningning ang mga ito. Lalo tuloy ako nakadama ng hiya.

Weg ke nge Leigh! Kenekeleg eke. Enebeyen!

Time will pass and tears will fall..

But someday we'll both recall..

Moments made of these..

Golden memories..

Naramdaman niya siguro ang pananahimik ko. "Still mad at me? dahil ba ito doon sa nangyari?"

God! He's referring to that kiss-incident!

Did i dream that we danced forever..

In a wish that we made together..

On a night that i prayed would never end..

"No, why should I? As I have said it was just a game." I said in a cold tone. Isa pa nga Leigh!

No it's not my imagination..

Or a part of the orchestration..

Love was here at the coronation..

I saw an amusement in his gray eyes. "Stop being sophisticated on me baby, maaaring mukha ka ng dalaga diyan sa ayos mo, but for me, your still MY baby. Dont use that cold tone on me."

I'm the king and your the queen..

In a once and future dream..

Where the dancers never seem to stop..

"Maybe, I just dont know how to respond on what you are saying to me. And may I asked, why your using that possesive pronominal adjective like you own me?"

Did i dream that we danced forever..

In a wish that we made together..

On a night that i prayed would never end..

Tumawa siya ng malakas, dahilan para mapatingin samin ang ibang mga nagsasayaw.

"Speaking like a Valedictorian, MY lang ang ginamit ko, kung ano anong term na pinagsasabi mo diyan."

No it's not my imagination..

Or a part of the orchestration..

I'm the king and your the queen of hearts..

Sipain ko kaya siya? Lakas maka tawa.
