Chapter Twenty Eight

unique's point of view.

"Bye!" pagkaway ni Magda habang naglakad ako papalayo sa bahay niya, sinundo ko siya pauwi sa bahay niya.

"Babay!" sabi ko at naglakad papauwi.

Masayang kasama si Magda, maganda siya, mabait at mukhang desenteng babae si Magda. Hindi siya mukhang malandi at mukha siyang matino.

Ako lang talaga tong walang moralidad dito.

I have noticed that she likes playing with her hair a lot.

I think i like her.

Magda is really bubbly and she's not shy, she likes smiling. Why does Magdalena smile? Magdalena smiles like Magdalena does.

Magdalena smiles.

She's an angel.

She's sweet.

As i returned home, i opened my front door with my key. I heard Blaster performed for a gig we have today. I hope he did well, he instantly became a fan favorite however cause it seems like everyone is talking about Blaster.

I closed my umbrella and went upstairs to lie down on my bed, i smiled. Her smile is contagious.

She makes me smile.

Magdalena's smile make me smile.

I close my eyes, trying to sleep.

Magdalena keeps me alive.

But how about Blaster?

I'm sure he did well but, uhm, i thinl he's a better replacement.

I think leaving is a better choice.

Should i leave the band?

Or perhaps i should pretend to be sick and call it over?

No one's pressuring me to go solo; no one's pressuring me to leave either.

Kakalas na ako sa sumasakal sakin.

I can't handle the fame.

This is final.

I'm leaving.

blaster's point of view.

Me and Zild went out for some Jollibee for a mini celebration for my first gig with them.

Makes me remember when i came over to his house and Mom and Dad got mad at me.

Ashanti was basically just listening to some bands on her radio when that was happening.

"Kamusta?" Tanong sa akin ni Zild at tinulak ang pinto ng Jollibee.

"Okay lang naman."

"So, are you comfortable earlier? Like are you okay with your first performance with us?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry." I said, reassuring Zild.

"Ah, okay. Sige, hanap ka na ng table." Sabi ni Zild, bago pa ako makahanap ng table, hinawakan niya yung kamay ko na tila bang pinipigilan niya ako.

"Uhm, order mo?"

"Yum Burger nalang tsaka drinks." Sabi ko at ngumiti. "Sige, uh hanap ka na." At kinalas niya yung kamay niya sa kamay ko.

Awkward.

I enjoy Zild's company, he's fun to talk to and he's down to earth.

Mabait si Zild.

How is Crystal doing?

Is she doing well?

Ahh.

I sit down at the chair by the window, i see cars passing by and people walking at the side walk.

I did not notice that time flies cause i see Zild coming back with a table number and a Yum Burger with drinks.

"What did you order?" I ask, "uhm i ordered one spaghetti and your order, the waiter is gonna give the spaghetti when it's ready."

Ngumiti ako at kinuha ang burger at binuksan ito, nasagi ko ang tubig kaya nabasa ito.

"Wow." Sabi ni Zild at umiwas ng tingin. "I guess that's.. a.. Burger na basa." Sabi ko, trying to make him laugh.

"Wag mo itapon, baka masarap." Sabi ni Zild na may halong biro pero kumagat pa rin ako. "What in tarnation--"

"Masarap pa rin. Medyo matubig nga lang." Sabi ko at kumagat pa ng isa, not going to lie but this tastes pretty good.

"Lasang Blaster siguro yan." Sabi ni Zild out of nowhere. I gave him a 'what-the-fuck' face and he shook his head.

"Anong sabi mo?"

"Wala."

"Sabi mo Lasang Blaster eh."

"Uh.."

"Gusto mo ba 'ko matikman?"

"Oo, bakit?"

"Ano?"

The atmosphere was filled with awkward silence and people talking. Why did i say that? Why did he say that? Umiwas kami ng tingin sa isa't isa.

"Awkward." Sabi ni Zild.

"Nevermind what we said, kalimutan mo na yun haha." Sabi ko't kumagat ng burger na basa.

"Okay."

May pumuntang waiter samin at nagbigay ng spaghetti with drinks. Nag-thank you kami at nginitian siya.

"Let's just eat and let's get to know each other more. Game?" Sabi ko ng nakangiti, trying to look optimistic.

"Game."
