“I’M PREGNANT, HUNTER. . .”

Bakas sa kaharap ang pag-kabigla sa kanyang sinabi. Nakagat niya ang ibabang labi, mahigpit siyang napa-hawak sa strap ng kanyang bag habang pinipigilan ang mga luha. Nanatili siyang naka-yuko, at pilit na pinapa-kalma ang kalooban.

“Heaven. . .”

“What are we going to do, baby?” Sambit niyang muli, saka dahan-dahan nag-angat ng tingin dito. Sinalubong niya ang mga mata ng binata, at doon niya naramdaman ang sakit. Halata sa mga mata nito ang takot at. . .pag-sisisi?

“Baby, I need to go abroad. I need to pursue my dreams. I need to be there… Kulang ang H2B kapag wala ako. This is my only chance to show the world my talent, baby. This is my perfect time...” Humugot ito ng malalim na hininga.

“I-i need to leave...” Dugtong pa nito. 

“I never asked you to stay...” She said softly. 

"I-i am just letting you know since you are the father…." Sabi pa ni Heaven saka humugot ng malalim na hininga. Pinipilit patatagin ang boses dahil ayaw nitong makita ni Hunter na naiiyak na siya. 

"I am sorry baby. I'm really sorry." Lumapit si Hunter kay Heaven at mahigpit itong niyakap. Doon na sunod-sunod na lumandas ang mga luha ni Heaven. 

She can feel the pain. She is hurting. She's scared for her and for the baby. She's scared for their future. She's still young and naive. How can she handle everything on her own?

Hunter did not think twice before he answered her. He chose his dreams over her and the baby. 

"I promise I'll make it up to you, baby."

Napatango nalang siya at pina-kalma ang sarili. 

She can't just ask Hunter to stay. She promised that she will be a supportive girlfriend to him. She just did not see the baby coming. She just did not expect that she'll be pregnant at a very young age.

"I'll hold on to that, baby." Sabi niya pa saka niyakap ng mahigpit ang nobyo. 

FEW YEARS LATER. . .

Sa paghampas ni Ivo ng stick sa drums ay siyang pagdagundong ng sigaw sa buong arena. Malakas ang hiyawan na nang-gagaling sa napakaraming tao na nasa loob at dumagdag pa ang tunog ng nag-lalakihang speaker sa bawat sulok. 

"Are you ready, heartbreakers?!" Malakas na sigaw ni Hunter, ang bokalista ng banda na may hawak na mikropono at may nakasabit na gitara sa katawan. Pawisan na siya at medyo hinihingal na dahil pang-limang kanta na nila ito, ngunit hindi niya iniinda ang pagod at tumalon-talon pa sa ibabaw ng stage habang tinutugtog ang panimulang musika ng kanta.

Buong lakas na naghiyawan ang mga tao, kasabay ng pagkalabit nina Jake at RJ ng gitara at ang pagpisil ng virtual piano ni Vin. 

Everybody's got their demons

Even wide awake or dreaming

I'm the one who ends up leaving

Make it okay
