Prologue
"Your album is pure love songs. It's kinda fishy since you're a rock band, would you mind to share if one of you.. you know, dating someone now?"
"Hmmm."
"Whoa! The fans are squealing! Guys, do you want to know the state of their relationship status right now?"
"Yeeeeeeees!"
"Hahaha, the fans are excited, eh? Hmm, let's start with you Marco."
"Me? U-hm..."
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
"There's someone."
"Oh my gee! So you're dating someone?"
"No, hahaha. It's... it's a bit complicated."
"What happened?"
"She left before I could tell her my feelings."
"Oooh, that's sad. So what are your plans now, would you wait for her?"
"It's been sa long from the last time we saw each other. I... I don't know, maybe I'll just trust that destiny thing."
"Ooooh. For a moment, let Midnight Chemicals serenades you with their new song, Without You."
And they start to play. That familiar melody...
Every strum on his guitar... it feels haven, like it was my home.
The camera focused on him and then the butterflies inside my stomach start to dance as I saw his familiar deep gaze. I come closer towards the television and caress his face as if the're no screen blocking him away from me.
Finally...
"Is that daddy?" I turn to Sage and saw his clueless face.
Ngumiti ako at lumapit sa kanya para kargahin siya. "No, that's not daddy."
"But I want daddy! I miss daddy!"
Tumawa ako ng mahina. "Okay, okay. Daddy is on his work baby. He'll come back soon, let's just wait for him okay?" And then he nod but still still has this frown on his face. Ang cute naman talaga ng batang to. Ang sarap ilagay sa bulsa!
"Haaaay," I sighed. Ibinalik ko ang tingin sa tv only to see the commercial. Tapos na ba yung show? Hindi ko man lang natapos pakinggan yung kanta nila.
Muli akong bumuntong hininga. Posible kayang ako yung tinutukoy niya?
"Sage!"
"Hahaha!"
Sumimangot na lang ako habang sinusuklay ang ilang hibla ng buhok ko na binuhol niya. Ang batang to nga naman oh.
Habang tuwang tuwa si Sage sa kalokohan niya, hindi ko naman mapigilang mapatitig sa maliit na mukha niya.
Marco Tan... pwede pa ba?
