Chapter Twenty Seven

unique's point of view.

i look at myself in the mirror, i wore a  Beatles band shirt and a pair of stonewashed jeans since it's 1978 and that's what's trendy.

I'm seeing Magdalena today on a rainy, saturday morning.

I pick my umbrella and open it as i open my door, i tried so hard to avoid paparazzi and fans.

Me and Magdalena are meeting at a coffee shop sa Timog Avenue.

The rain started to pour down rapidly, the cool air touching my skin.

I see Magdalena in a shed, wearing a  floral dress that shows a little bit of skin paired with a baby blue cardigan. It was girly but it suits her really well. The dress was just above her knees. It was a mix of teal and mint green that complements her skin a lot.

She wasn't wearing any make up and that fits her really well too. Her chocolate colored hair matched well with her hazel eyes.

She's beautiful.

Kinawayan ko siya at tinawag ang pangalan niya, "Magdalena!" Sigaw ko at ngumiti.

Habang walang sasakyan, tumakbo si Magdalena papunta sa kabilang sidewalk at sumilong sa payong ko. "Sorry if my umbrella's pretty small." I say, smiling afterwards.

"Uy okay lang naman, di mo naman ako kailangan english-in, pinoy tayo. Maging mapagmahal sa sariling wika."

"Nasanay kasi akong english ang salita ko, haha. Sorry."

"Okay lang! Halika na! Baka maabutan pa tayo ng sobrang lakas na ulan, ang hangin na kasi eh."

"Alam mo, ang gwapo mo." Sabi niya out of nowhere, "Saan naman nanggaling yun?" Tanong ko ng pabiro.

"Wala lang, napansin ko lang."

"Maganda ka rin naman eh."

"Thank you." Sabi niya ng pa-humble, i have also noticed that she enjoys my company and likes to throw some jokes that are half unfunny and half funny.

Nang makarating kami sa coffee shop, the sweet aroma of coffee made me energetic, i smiled. "Hanap ka na ng chair while i go and order some coffee." Sabi ni Magdalena.

"I'll just go for some cafe latte." Sabi ko at humanap ng upuan. There were like four people in this coffee shop and that's great.

I sat on the table by the window. I wait for Magdalena and just mesmerize the view outside.

The view wasn't so admirable since it was just some buildings and some trees.

Magdalena comes back with one Americano and a Cafe Latte. "Here they are!" Sabi niya at umupo.

"So, since ngayon lang tayo nagkakilala, hi! I am Magdalena Milagrosa and you are?"

"Unique Salonga." At nagshake hands kami.

Nagtawanan kami ng saglit, "Do you like horror movies?" Tanong niya. "Kinda." "Well, do you like coffee?"

"I prefer beer."

"Oh."

zild's point of view.

"Let's welcome IV OF SPADES!" Sabi nung host. Everyone was disappointed nung hindi nila nakita si Unique, "Unique will not be able to perform today, we're sorry. He'll be back soon."

The real reason why Unique can't perform is because he was apparently "sick" but for all i know is that he is with Magdalena. They are going on a date? I don't know.

Blaster will be the temporary guitarist for now cause he was pushed by his dad to audition for a temporary guitarist.

"The first song we will be playing is Mundo."

Everyone starts screaming, this was a pretty small place but it's really crowded here and that's pretty cool.

The song finishes and we head to the next song until we finish our gig.

Everyone was clapping and we exited the stage and went backstage.

"Guys! Nice show!" Sigaw ko at uminom ng tubig. Tinignan ko si Blaster na nakatitig lang sa kawalan.

"Huy, Ter, tinitignan mo?" Sabi ko at kinawayan siya, "a-ah, wala lang. Wala kasi si Unique eh, uh."

"Ah. Okay."

"Bakit wala si Unique?" Tanong niya, "May kasama siya, uh. Oo. Yung isang interviewer?"

"Ah, okay."

"Tayo nalang muna lumabas, Jollibee? Tara? Jacket nalang tayo para di tayo mahalata? Badj, sama ka?"

"Wag na, may lakad pa kami ni Aimee eh, kayo nalang!" At ngumiti si Badj.

Nagpalit muna kami ni Blaster ng damit dahil parehas kaming pawis at nagjacket na may hood.

"Bye Badj!" Sabay naming sabi ni Blaster at dumiretso sa malapit na Jollibee.
