My Sweet Melody (completed)

Chapter 6

"We climb and climb and at the top we fly

Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time

And I don't know really what it means

All I know is that you love me, in my dreams

I keep hopin' one day I'll awaken

And somehow he'll be lying by my side

And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin'

He touches me and suddenly I'm alive

We climb and climb and at the top we fly

Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time

And I don't know really what it means

All I know is that you love me, in my dreams....."

As Crystel ended her song, hindi niya namalayan na napaluha na pala siya. Mabuti na lamang nakasarado ang kanyang mga mata. May ilang sandali siyang nakapikit. Naramdaman niya ang lamig ng pang-gabing hangin na humahaplos sa kanyang mga pisngi. It is like comforting her.

"Penny for your thoughts?" muntik na mapatalon ang dalaga ng marinig ang tinig na yun out of nowhere. Mabilis niyang inangat ang paningin. It's Dave!

"K-k-uya! Good evening!" eto na naman ang kaba ng puso niya. Sumisirko na naman. Di na naman mapakali. Sa mga pagkakataong ito, gusto niyang pagalitan ang sarili. She shouldn't feel this way anymore. Kinalimutan na niya ang feelings na ito 2 years ago.

"Evening! Di ka din makatulog?" tumabi ito ng upo sa kanya. Kung sa ibang pagkakataon lang, siguro ay kikiligin si Crystel sa atmosphere na yun. Dave, her, the gentle breeze, the stars and the moonlight. Everything is perfect, all are made up for a perfect, romantic scenes. Kaso alam naman niyang maaring siya lang ang nakakaramdam ng pakiramdam na yun.

"Siguro namamahay lang, K-kuya! I-ikaw? Di ka maka

tulog?" sagot niya pagkatapos ng ilang saglit. She should shake off any romantic hopes na meron siya. Alam niyang for Dave, she is just like a little sister.

"Di nga din e! Magtitimpla sana ako ng milk, but then I heard you singing. Ang galing mo talaga!" nakangiti nitong papuri sa kanya. Pakiramdam ng dalaga ang nag-blush siya, buti na lamang at gabi.

"T-thank you!" tipid niya tugon sa papuri nito.

DAVE:

An awkward silence after niya marinig ang pasasalamat nito. He knew he has to say something. He knew he needs to break the awkward silence.

"REO Speedwagon is a pretty old band. How come you know that song?" trying to make a conversation, he just hopes na okay na yun to keep the conversation going, cause honestly, ayaw niya pang matapos ang gabing yun. He likes her company. Napakagaan ng pakiramdam when she is around. There is something about Crystel na parang may calming force.
