Stop The Endless Chase

Goodbye

Pagkatapos nilang kumanta ay agad akong umakyat sa entablado para makapagsimula nang kumanta. Nakatanggap ako ng magarbong palakpakan na hinihiling kong sana ay hindi na lamang nila ibinigay dahil ayokong mas lalong magalit sa akin si DJ.

Naalala ko ang kauna-unahang kantang inawit ko dito sa Double Deuce. Kung saan maayos pa kami ni DJ at parang walang problema.

I pressed some keys and stared at DJ the whole time while singing All I ask by Adele.

I will leave my heart at the door
I won't say a word
They've all been said before you know
So why don't we just play pretend
Like we're not scared of what's coming next
Or scared of having nothing left

I'll leave you now DJ, just like what you wanted me to do. I'll leave you but it doesn't mean that I don't love you anymore, but because it's for the betterment of everything. Marahil ay tama ka na naging komplikado ang buhay mo nang bumalik ako, kaya ngayon ay aalis na ulit ako.

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?

Pero p'wede bang makiusap sa kanya na hawakan ako sa huling pagkakataon na parang mahal niya pa rin ako? P'wede ba na halikan niya ako at yakapin na parang walang nagbago? I know that it'll be too much to ask, but that's what I want for the very last time.

I'm staring at DJ the whole time. I wonder if he can read or understand the message that I want to tell him. Maybe it's better if not. Ayoko na rin kasing mas maging kumplikado pa ang lahat.

Agad kong isinunod ang pangalawang kanta ko which is Someday ni Nina. My songs for tonight  are all dedicated to DJ.

Someday you're gonna realize
One day you'll see this through my eyes
By then I won't even be there
I'll be happy somewhere
Even if I can't

I know you don't really see my worth
You think you're the last guy on earth
Well I've got news for you
I know that I'm not that strong
But it won't take long, won't take long

'Cause, someday someone's gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday someone's gonna take your place
One day I'll forget about you
You'll see I won't even miss you
Someday, someday

Right now I know you can't tell
I'm down and I'm not doing well
But one day these tears, they will all run dry
I won't have to cry sweet goodbye

Hanggang natapos ko ang kanta ay nakatitig lang ako kay DJ. Nakatitig din siya sa akin at nakakunot ang kanyang noo. Ngumiti ako pagkatapos nito at agad na bumaba ng entablado at lumapit sa pwesto nila.

"I need to meet a friend, mauna na ako sa inyo ha?" nakangiti kong saad. Lumapit ako kay Rain at niyakap siya, maging si Ivan at Brent. Huli ay si Lara.

"H-Hatid na kita?" mahinang saad ni Lara. Bakas sa kanyang mukha ang kalungkutan pero agad akong umiling at ngumiti. Tumingin ako sa mga kaibigan ko, bakas din sa mukha nila ang pagtataka at mataman silang nakamasid sa akin.

"Wala ka namang sasakyan. Atsaka gamit ko ang sasakyan ni Papa 'di ba?" marahan siyang tumango at ngumiti ng pilit tapos ay umalis na.
