The Songs Of Us

Chapter 3: Maybe

She's hurt. Very much... Bawat bigkas niya sa liriko ng kanta ay alam niyang sa iisang tao lang niya inaalay.

But he's not her and never will be. She's just the bestfriend and forever will be... Nang matapos niya amg ikalawang kanta at marinig ang masigabong palakpakan mula sa mga manonood at mga kaibigan, all the tears na kanina pa siya pinipigil ay sunod sunod na naglandas sa kanyang mga pisngi.

The audience thought that she's just overwhelmed. Only she and Conner knows what was really happening. She looked at him and he gave her a reassuring smile. At sinuklian niya iyon ng isang malungkot na ngiti bago tumingin sa mga kaibigan, her female friends are also crying. So happy for her at ang mga lalaki naman ay bibigyan siya mg thumbs-up.

Only, the person that she wanted to see at that moment was somewhere out there with the person he loves the most. Right at that moment she made a decision.

Pinahid niya ang mga luhang naglalandas sa mga pisngi bago tumikhim.

"My last song is dedicated to all the people out there who's been longing to be loved by the person they love, that " Maybe" someday, their heart was yours. " may lungkot sa tinig na sabi niya kasabay ng isang matipid na ngiti.

She saw her friend Ellyze na muling nagpahid ng luha. Alam nito ang nararamdaman niya and she knew that she's hurting for her. She gave her a nod and she smiled back to her. A smile which says everything.

She's ready to move on and forget about her feelings for her bestfriend. She started to strum her guitar once again and started to hum...

There I was
Waiting for a chance
Hoping that you'll understand
The things I wanna say

As my love went stronger than before
I wanna see you more and more
But you closed your door
Why don't you try
To open up your heart
I won't take so much of your time

Maybe, it's wrong to say please love me too
'Coz I know you'll never do
Somebody else is waiting there inside for you
Maybe it's wrong to love you more each day
'Coz I know you' re there to stay
And I know to whom you should belong...

Iwan niya kung napansin ng mga nakikinig na may ilang salita siya sa kantang iniba na angkop sa kasalukuyamg nararamdaman niya.

"Maybe" was not the last song she originally planned to sing, but she wants to sing her goodbye song to her feelings tonight, na may mga taong makakaramay siya kahit na nga sa pamamagitan ng awit niya.

I believed what they said to me
That I should set my feelings free
That's how, things should be...
But my love went stronger than before

I wanna see you more and more
But you closed your door
Why don't you try to open up your heart
I won't take so much of your time
Maybe, it's wrong to say please love me too

'Coz I know you'll never do
Somebody else is waiting there inside for you
Maybe it's wrong to love you more each day
'Coz I know you' re there to stay

But my love is strong
I don't know if this is wrong
But I know to whom you should belong

And I know to whom you belong....

Natapos niya ang kanta at halos lahat ng mga estudyante at guro sa paaralan nila ay naging emosyonal sa madamdamin niyang pagkanta. She stood up from her chair and walked to Conner na naghihintay sa kanya sa ibaba ng stage.

Pero bago pa siya makarating sa binata ay natigilan siya ng mapansin si Edward na matiim na nakatitig sa kanya sa bandang gilid ng stage. Nakapamulsa ito at seryoson ang mukhang hindi inaalis ang tingin sa kanya. Nagtaka pa siyang hindi nito kasama si Heaven.
