Dinig na dinig ang dagundong at sigaw ng mga tao sa stadium. May umiiyak, tumatawa, at nagkakantahan. Isa ako sa kanila, I am a fan, a big fan of him.
He is a matinee idol, magaling kumanta, sumayaw, gwapo at parang lahat na yata nasa kaniya.
"Hi everyone, thank you for letting me make all of you happy this night, but let me give my time to this beautiful lady who's always making me smile. I am Slate and this is my last song." He's in love, what can I expect? Sino ba namang hindi mahuhulog sa kanya?
I just smiled with a pain in my eyes as he starts to strum the guitar at ang mga tao ay halos magwala na dahil sa sinabi niya.
Yes, I am in love with him, maybe our memories before will just stay like that, only a memory na ako lang ang hindi makalimot-limot.
"Promise me you'll comeback after you graduated high school okay?"
"Of course I will, diba magiging asawa pa kita."
"Ano ba 'yang pinagsasabi mo, we're still young, I wanna reach my dream first. Malay mo may makilala ka pang iba diyan."
"I can wait for you, but please also wait for me."
"Hey girl, you've caught my eyes
From the first time we met
Hey girl, with those precious smiles
My heart beats only for you."
How I wished I am that girl.
"How you make my world go round
Only the two of us
You make me feel flying up above the ground
Love, I want us."
Mas lalo pang lumakas ang sigawan ng mga tao ng bumaba siya sa stage and people gave way para makadaan siya.
"I love you, you make me feel so high.
I'll love you till the sunrise.
I'll love you till the sun die.
I'll love you till my hearts die."
Papalit siya sa akin, tinititigan ako ngunit hindi ko siya matignan ng diretso sa mata. Baka nasa likod ko ang ang pupuntahan niya so I also gave way, pero sa akin pa rin siya nakatitig. Is this really happening? Ako ba talaga yung tintignan niya?
Suddenly the music stops playing. Ang mga tao ay titig na titig at tahimik rin, inaabangan ang mga susunod na mangyayari.
"Alam kong baka nalimutan mo na ako because it's been really a long time. I left you and it's my fault. I still remember those fun times with you, sabay tayong naglalaro, umuuwi, ikaw ang unang nakakita ng madapa ako sa putikan, nakipagsuntukan, ikaw ang kasama ko ng mga araw na iyon." Panimula niya pero, naalala niya ako? I'm crying right now dahil di ako makapaniwala. Am I dreaming? Because if I am I would never want to wake up from this dream.
"I miss those fun times with you, Aurora and tonight there's no stoping me back I want you to be mine so please accept me in your life again." I saw how sincere he is. Pagkatapos ay lumuhod siya at naglabas ng isang maliit na box na naglalaman ng isang bagay na lalong nagpaiyak sa akin. It was a ring.
"Hindi ka pa nga nanliligaw at hindi pa nagiging tayo inaalok mo na ako ng kasal. Gaano ka kasigurado na bibigay ko ang sagot na nais mo, paano kung may iba na pala ako?" Biro ko pero hindi tumakas sa aking mga mata ang lungkot at takot sa kanya, ngunit kaagad rin itong nawala.
"Then I'm willing to do everything you want and I'm so sure you don't have anyone. I'm sorry kung masyadong mabilis marami na kasing taong nasayang and I want to fulfill my remaining years full of happy memories with you. You are my life and I don't want to lose you again."
"Yes, I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with you." Sagot ko pagkatapos ay sinuot niya ang singsing sa akin at hinalikan ako sa noo.
After that night happened we planned our wedding and months after, the most magical day in our life happened. He already quitted showbiz maraming malungkot at nagbigla pero tinaggap nila ito.
Now, here we are, watching the sun set. He's holding the guitar while his head is on my shoulder and carefully strumming it kahit nahihirapan siya.
He was singing while I was crying. I don't want to let him see that I am crying and helpless because I want to let him know that I am strong but these tears won't stop racing down my face.
Days after our wedding I discovered about his illness and that's the reason why he left me before. My parents knew about that. Akala namin nawala na ito ng tuluyan pero for some reasons bumalik ito and we tried for medications pero ayaw ng tanggapin ng katawan niya.
We are already three years married at bawat araw pinaparamadaman niya sa akin na ako ang pinakamagandang babae at pinakamamahal niya. Araw-araw hindi mawala sa isip ko na baka paggising ko'y wala na siya, araw-araw tinatanggap ko ang bawat sakit. Kamatayan lang suguro talaga ang makakapaghiwalay sa amin.
"I love you, you make me feel so high.
I'll love you till the sunrise.
I'll love you till the sun die.
I'll love you till my hearts die."
That was his last words before he left me and close his eyes...permanently.
I love you and I'll never get tired to tell our son stories, about how brave his father is. You'll always be my first and last last song that I'll never get tired of listening.
