Will Love Be Enough?

Chapter 12: Forgotten Broken Hearts

KIA'S POV

Ang weird. LOL. Nung pagpasok ko kasi sa bahay nina Enzo, it felt familiar. Parang I was here before. Hmmm. Baka nakapagnakaw kami dito nun. Charot. Di ako membro ng akyat bahay. Hahaha. Pero basta. Baka nag-astral projection ako. Alam niyo yun? Thats when your spirit travels while you sleep. Baka ganun. Charot ulit. Basta.

Another weird thing is itong si Enzo. Kanina pa to nakatingin sakin eh. With an unexplainable expression. Blema nito? Nakapormang circle kami ngayon dito sa parang lounge area ng band room. Sabi kasi ng kumag na si Kale, getting to know each other daw muna. So that they will know me a bit as I know them a bit as well, since from now on until we graduate, magkakasama na kami palagi. We all agreed naman. Minsan may sense din naman pala tong si Kale. Sina Reid staka Miles, nakaupo lang din sa parang sofa. Naka-upo kasi kami sa sahig. Isa pang weird tong si Reid eh. Akala ko excited sa mga boys, tas ngayon eto, di maipinta mukha. Ba't ang weird ng mga taong to today?

So bali as I said we are in a circle. From me, going to the right is Liam, then Drei, then in front of me is Enzo, on his right is Ken and then lastly on my left is Kale. Liam started it.

"Okay. Before anything else, gusto ko lang malaman." he stopped and then looked at me. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. "Why Stupor?" he continued. Nagchorus naman sa pag-agree sina Kale at Drei habang si Ken at Enzo tahimik lang pero their eyes were all on me. 

"Wala bang dictionary sa inyo or kahit google man lang?" - Ako. They all just shrugged. Mga tamad talaga. Pwede naman i-look up online eh. "Mga tamad. Anyways, Stupor means Oblivion. Same words." I said to them. Liam just looked at me with questioning eyes like telling me to go on. "Fine. Well diba Enzo said, Oblivion should be separate from the school band, that the two bands should have different characters, life, a different vibe. Which I thought was right. So I chose Stupor. Cause even though Oblivion Band is separate from Stupor Band, the two are still the same in a way. They still have you guys to play and sing. So it's kinda like these two words, oblivion, and stupor. They mean the same. Just used differently in a way." As I finished that, they were all silent. I saw Enzo smirk and Ken shaking his head. 

"Woaah. That's deep." Said Liam. "I know right?" said Kale

So we all introduced ourselves to each other. Age, courses and hobbies, all that stuff. Pagkatapos, nag-usap kami kung anong genre ang itugtog ng Stupor. Ang genre ng Oblivion is Alternative/Pop/Punk Rock. They asked me if I was cool with that. I was okay naman. May mga kanta naman sa ganong genre na bagay din sa babae. So it's cool. I told them to also throw in some up to date songs din. So we can connect more to the crowd. And they agreed.

After the mini meeting, break daw muna saglit tas tugtog kami. Umorder ng pizza si Liam para saming lahat. While waiting, kanya-kanya muna ng tambay. Katabi ko sa sofa sina Miles staka Reid. Si Miles kausap si Drei. Ewan anong topic. Ako naman nakasandal sa shoulders ni Reid. Nadrain ako sa maikling meeting na yun. Lol

"You okay girl?" Reid said. I just nodded my head as a response. He didn't say anything else fo a while. Then, "Sizt, gwapo ng mga kabanda mo nuh? Sherep" I smiled to that. Wala na ata toyo sa utak si bakla. Back to being his old malanding self eh. Umalis ako sa pagkakasandal sa kanya at hinampas siya sa hita niya pero di sinasadyang nadali ko yung ano niya. Napatayo siya sa sakit. Oppps. Sorry.

"F*ck. What the hell Kia?" We were all shocked sa reaction niya. He sounded unlike him. He sounded like.... a genuine guy. WTH? He must've realized that it went silent so he looked at us, all eyes on him. Especially me and Miles. He immediately changed his expression. "Guuuurrrrrl." he was using his usual gayish tone. "Bastos ka." then he nervously laughed. I am the type of person that will immediately know that something is up. And I'm also the type that won't stop until I figure it out. He sat next to me again. Everyone just came back to what they were doing but I looked at Miles and she just shrugged. So I just let it pass and stood up to go the restroom.

"Enzo, where's the restroom?" tawag ko kay Enzo na busy sa pagtutune ng gitara niya. He looked up at me. "Samahan na kita." He said as he stood up and placed his guitar on the wall. "Hmm. Okay." I said and walked behind him outside the band room.

No joke, this house really feels odd. I just can't pin what is odd about this place. We walked thru the living room. I noticed ni wala silang family pictures dito. Hindi sila siguro mahilig sa mga ganun. We went upstairs and went to a room at the end of a hallway. We went inside and this room. This room feels I don't know. I can't explain it. I stood in place just staring at the bed. This is weird. Akala ko sila lang weird ngayon, pati pala ako. 

"Saskia? You okay?" Nagulat ako sa boses ni Enzo. Nagspace out na pala ako. 

"Yes. Sorry." -Ako

"It's okay." Enzo just smiled. "The restroom is the door on your left. Sa labas lang ako." He then went out and closed the door behind him. Pumunta na din ako sa restroom.

When I went out, naghihintay parin si Enzo sakin sa labas. Parang ang lalim ng iniisip. 

"Hey." Sabi ko. 

"Hey. Tapos kana pala." Sabi niya then he started walking. Naglakad naman ako sa tabi niya. Tahimik lang kami habang pumapanaog sa hagdan.

"Enzo, room mo yun?" di ko natiis na itanong. Curious kasi talaga ako sa room na yon or kahit sa buong bahay na to.

He looked at me and shook his head. "Sa kapatid ko yun." He said. I just nodded. Impossible naman kasing kakilala ko kapatid niya or pamilya nila. I have never seen Enzo in my life. Inalis ko nalang sa isip ko ang kung ano-ano.

Pagbalik namin sa band room, kumakain na sila. Kaya nakisali nalang kami at kumain na din.
