Damond's PoV
Yuki sure outscored his opponent. Hiroi did just fine, he managed to survive his performance, kahit na halatang hindi n'ya forte ang backing track na napunta sakanya. His girl opponent has the skills, pero hindi gano'n kalinis 'yung pagtugtog n'ya. Maybe, fifty-fifty kami sa electric guitar category, pero sa acoustic guitar, sigurado akong si Yuki ang mananalo. Pagdating naman sa piano category, I can't really tell. Pareho silang magaling, but has very contrasting style. Eirin played gentle piece, while Touma played an aggressive one.
Nagta-tally pa ng scores, kaya wala kaming ginagawa ngayon kun'di ang maghintay sa results.
"Kanino ka boto sa piano category?" tanong ko kay Drei. That match between Eirin and Touma really bothers me, at dahil wala pa naman ang announcement, I might as well, ask other for their oppinion about it.
"Piano? Nahh, kahit kanino. Hindi ako masyadong fan ng gano'ng klaseng music, so I can only care less," sagot ni Drei. "Oh, pero I want the cons to win..." dagdag n'ya bigla.
"What? Sinasabi mo bang gusto mong umalis si Sir Iwata sa Gassho High?" Medyo tumaas ang boses ko ng bahagya nang dahil sa gulat.
Ang buong akala ko kampi kaming lahat sa mga pro. 'Eto pala ang isang tiwalag.
He nodded. "But I want him out for good. Noong narinig ko kase sa speech n'ya no'ng nakaraan na ginagawa n'ya lang 'to, para kay Ms. Rika, tingin ko, pinahihirapan n'ya lang ang sarili n'ya," Drei justified. I looked at him with confused look, hoping for clarifications about his reason. "I just think that,... he should not burden himself... Tingin ko kase, ginagawa n'ya 'to, not just because he promised to, but also to fulfill his personal desire to remember Ms. Rika," Hindi ako nagsalita at hinintay lang kung may idadagdag pa si Drei. "They are long time friends, and Sir Iwata is blind. If he would miss someone, what will he do? Walang silbi ang pictures, para maging remembrance, so he must be clinging to the things where he could at least, feel Ms. Rika's presence or stay at a place where people won't miss a day without mentioning Ms. Rika's name," I nodded in understanding. "... Wala naman akong masasabi sa pagtuturo n'ya. Actually, he's good. Mas magaling pa nga s'ya sa ibang teachers dito eh, pero he should get over the grieve, at tingin ko mangyayari lang 'yun kung isasantabi n'ya muna 'yung mga bagay na merong traces ni Ms. Rika"
"Saan naman nanggaling 'yang teorya mong 'yan?" tanong ko sakanya. Para kaseng ang dami n'yang inalam para lang mag-come up na maging con.
"Ah, haha, kase, araw-araw ko s'yang nakikitang pumupunta sa puntod ni Ms. Rika. Binibisita ko din kase 'yung puntod ng lola ko doon araw-araw, dahil malapit lang naman ang bahay namin doon, tapos isang araw, nakita ko s'ya kasama 'yung isa sa judge, hanggang sa nagtuloy tuloy na"
Tumango ako. "Abaa, punk rock ang tugtugan mo, pero singlambot ka rin pala ng ballad" panga-asar ko sakanya.
First time ko lang kase s'yang nakitang nagsalita ng ganito. At isa pa, gusto ko sanang pagaangin ang atmosphere.
All the talks about Ms. Rika is sad. Lalo na no'ng nagkwento na s'ya kung anong tingin n'ya sa sitwasyon.
