I Already Found Him | On-Going

Chapter 9

"Drixx?"

Napabangon ako sa aking kama. Totoo kaya yon? Gosh, hindi puwedeng malaman ni Drixx. Not now dahil alam kong nakakahiya iyon. Eh bakit ba ako nahihiya?

Eh baka naman kasi isipin niya na gusto ko pa rin siya. Eh diba nakakahiya yon?

Napanaginipan ko kasi si Drixx. Nalaman niya daw yong pina-delete ko kay Althea a week ago. Then nang malaman niya ang nga iyon ay nakipag-balikan siya sa'kin. At pagkatapos no'n at nagising na lang ako bigla.

What does that mean?

Does that mean... Iniisip niya na naman ako?

Wag kang assumera Sophia.

Eh bakit naman niya ako iisipin?

What am I to him?

It's already 9:00 PM pero hindi pa din ako nakakapag-palit ng uniform. Pagdating ko kasi kaninang 6:00 PM ay kumain at pumunta agad ako sa kuwarto at sa nakatulog na ako at ayon nga napanaginipan ko si Drixx.

Here's to the ones that we got

Cheers to the wish you we're here but you're not

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

Of everything we've been through

Toast to the the ones here today

Toast to the ones that we lost on the way

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

And the drinks bring back

Memories bring back you

Napatingin ako sa kanan ko. Inaasar ba ako ni kuya? Sa lahat ba naman ng kanta, bakit ayan pa?

That song has a thousand meaning for me.

I don't know but I suddenly think of Drixx. I don't know why. The way he smiled at me. The way he stare at me. I don't know why but I suddenly miss him when I heard that song.

'Mali 'to Sophia... Sobrang mali.'

There's a time that I remember when I did not know no pain

When I believed in forever

And everything would stay the same

Now my heart feel like December

When somebody say your name

'Cause I can't reach out to call you

But I know I will one day

Darating din ang panahon na kaya ko nang kausapin si Drixx.

Everybody hurt sometimes, everybody hurts someday

Everything will be alright, go on raise a glass and say

Yeah... Everything will be alright. Not now but soon.

Pero bakit pa rin ako affected sa kantang iyan? I moved on. So, there's no reason pa para maging affected ako.

Nagtaklob na lamang ako ng kumot. I don't wanna hear that song.

Sino ba gumawa ng kantang iyan?

Tsh... Ka-badtrip.

* * *

Kakababa ko lang sa tricycle at naglakad na ako. Siyempre gusto ko na umuwi eh. Kakagaling ko lang sa school. Buti na lang walang traffic.

Pero bago pa man ako maka-hakbang ay narinig ko na naman iyon.

Here's to the ones that we got

Cheers to the wish you were here but you're not

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

Of everything we've been through

Toast to the ones here today

Toast to the ones that we lost on the way

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

And the memories bring back

Memories bring back you

Tiningnan ko kung kanino nanggagaling ang music na iyon at katapat ko pa ah.

Hindi pa man ako nakakaalis sa puwesto ko. Kaya unti-unti na akong naglakad.

Mukha na siguro akong baliw dito kung may tao mang nakakakita sa akin ngayon.

There's a time that I remember when I never felt so lost

When I felt that all the hatred was too powerful to stop

Now my heart feel like an ember

And it's lightning up the dark

I'll carry these torches for ya

That you know I'll never stop

Pero ilang lakad ko na at kahit anong layo ko ay lalong nilalakasan ang music. Nang-aasar ba sila? Sunugin ko bahay nila eh.

Diba nga sabi ko kagabi ayoko nang marinig ang kantang yan? Tch...

Bahay... Lumapit ka naman sa akin.

Here's to the ones that we got

Cheers to the wish you were here but you're not

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

Of everything we've been through

Toast to the ones here today

Toast to the ones that we lost on the way

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

And the memories bring back

Memories bring back you

After so many years, nakarating na ako sa bahay. Pero about ba naman dito ang music.

Ahh.. Dumiretso na agad ako sa kuwarto at nagtaklob ng kumot.

Beacuse that remind me of one person...

... Drixx...
