Karen's POV

I'm going to see Jerome tonight after a couple of weeks of not seeing him around. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

Binuksan ko ang pinto ng kotse at umupo sa driver's seat. Pwede naman kaming magkita sa bubble tea shop pero bakit sa MS Theatre pa?

Hindi naman kalayuan ang MS Theatre sa condo kaya 20 minutes pa lang nakarating na ako dun. Wala akong naririnig na ingay sa loob at wala rin taong pumapasok sign na wala naman event dito. So why here?

Tinext ko si Jerome pagkapasok ko sa theatre. Walang ilaw sa loob, walang ibang tao sa paligid.

To Jerome:

I'm here. Where are you?

Hindi ko binitawan ang phone ko hangga't hindi siya nag-rereply.

3 minutes later...

From Jerome:

Umupo ka sa front row.

Sinunod ko yung sinabi niya at bumaba sa pinakaunang row ng mga seats. Biglang bumukas yung ilaw sa row na 'yun, tanging dun lang sa first row at sa inuupuan ko.

I tried to look everywhere to find him pero wala akong maaninag because it's too dark nga. Ano bang trip ni Jerome?

Suddenly, I heard someone tapping the microphone on the stage. Another spotlight appeared sa gitna ng stage and then there he is, I finally saw him. He is wearing a suit, parang kagagaling lang niya sa isang meeting or formal party?

He smiled at me and started singing.

[Sing For You By: Exo (English Version)]

With my old guitar
I'll take all the confessions I couldn't say

All the things I swallowed inside
And tell you right now as if I made it into a song
Just listen, I'll sing for you

Nakaupo siya habang may hawak na gitara. Ang lakas ng dating.

I love you so much but I don't tell you that I love you
It's awkward, my pride won't allow me

I'll take courage and tell you today
But just listen without much thought, I'll sing for you

My eyes are just glued to him. Dinadamdam ang bawat words na lumalabas sa bibig niya at alam kong galing lahat 'yun... sa puso niya.

The way you cry, the way you smile
Do you know how much you mean to me?

Words I wanna say, words I lost
I'll confess to you but just listen
I'll sing for you, sing for you
Just listen and smile

Why is he doing this all of sudden?

It's kind of funny, I only have you
But sometimes, I'm worse than a stranger to you

When in truth, I just wanna put my head in your arms
And be held by you

The way you cry, the way you smile
Do you know how much you mean to me?

This song, reminds me of our relationship.

Words I regretted as I turned around
I'll apologize but just listen
I'll sing for you, sing for you
Just pretend that nothing's happening

Tumayo si Jerome at nilapag yung guitar sa high chair. Kinuha niya yung microphone at nagsimula nang magsalita.

"Karen." He called out my name.
