MARA's POV
"Are you sure na okay lang tong suot ko, Yan?" I asked Yana again.
"Mars, it's a gig. Other usually wear revealing clothes but you are Mara! You wear these clothes. Babagay yan dun. After all, you look wonderful with everything!" Yana tried cheering me up. I wore a simple blue dress na hanggang tuhod. I personally like this dress pero baka di bumagay dun sa lugar.
"okay. Okay.. sige. Punta na ako sa baba. Bye, Yan." Paalam ko sa kanya tsaka lumabas para puntahan si Tim na kanina pa naghihintay sa akin. It's just 4:20. Pero the earlier the better para makakuha ako ng magandang spot before the gig.
"You look extra beautiful, Agatha." Tim commented kaya napangiti ako. I'm glad to hear that.
"Thanks?" I smiled at him.
Nagsimula na siyang mag-drive. It's not really that far. It seems like a high-end resto-bar. Wow, he plays in this kind of place, must be earning some money.
"Yo! Yo! Yo! Mara on the house!" pabirong bati sakin ni Calvin ng makita niya akong papasok.
"Hi guys!" Masayang bati ko sa kanila ni Warren.
"Buti pumunta ka, Mara. Makikita mo na kung gaano ako kagaling mag-drums!" Cal said with confidence. I'm excited!
"maririnig mo na rin ang magndang boses ko!" natatawang sabi ni Tim. Tim does have a good voice quality, I've heard him sang and I liked it. Though, I can't seem to love it. It's just, his voice is better for me? How unfair, Mara.
5 pm na and Tim, Warren and Cal are on the stage already. Playing. They already played one song and this is the second. They're playing "Save myself" By Ed Sheeran as it was requested by one of the costumers. There are a lot of people! May iilan pa akong nakikitang mga studyante ng EU kaya siguro sikat sila sa university dahil sa tumutugtog sila dito.
"Good evening everyone. I would like to invite this certain someone to sing with us here on stage." people starting cheering.
Wow! May duet na magaganap! Ang swerte ko naman!
"Agatha? Will you?" Nakatingin sa akin si tim habang tinatanong yun.
T-Teka..
Ako ba ang tinutukoy niya?
"A-Ako?" I asked nervously.
"Yup! Lika!" He smiled but that didn't took away the nervousness I feel.
I.. I haven't sing in front of anyone, well, aside from Andrei who often record my songs. But this crowd?! I couldn't!
"H-Huh? I-I can't." Bulong ko.
I'm scared. Baka pagtawanan nila ako.
"Trust me. You'll love it." Sabi niya at iginiya ako sa stage.
And the next thing I new, I'm standing in front of these strangers with Tim by my side.
He started strumming his guitar and a familiar tune played.
Napatingin ako sa kanya..
Terrified...
You by the light
Is the greatest find
In the world full of wrong
You're the thing that's right
Tim started singing and it's making me hapy but why doesn't it makey heart beat like an athlete? His voice is good and the song suits him well.. But what about me?
Finally made it
Through the lonely
To the other side
Tim continued singing with his heart. The crowd became silent, ninanamnam ang ganda ng boses ng binata at ang mensahe ng musikang tumutugtog. I love this song. I just love this song.
