Every Seconds With You

Secret: Sixteen

Bumalik ako sa pagkakaupo sa lamesa namin. hindi ako masyadong nag stay sa lamesa nila mommy at daddy. Guests are looking for me, kaya tinawag ako sa mismong lamesa naming magpipinsan.

"Why are you pouting?" kuya Aaren asked while he is putting his coat on my shoulder.

Paano ba naman kasi, bago ako tuluyang makaupo sinabihan kami na hindi makakanta yung nakuha nilang singer para sa gabing 'to, dahil biglang sumakit ang lalamunan nito.

Should I sing here? for my grandparents anniversary naman diba? What? If I can sing for other people, why not sing to your family diba?

"I'll sing." Sagot ko kay kuya Aaren.

Pumunta ako sa emcee at sinabi sa kanyang ako na lang ang kakanta. He, I mean She? basta ayon, siya, tinanong ako kung sure ba ako lalo na't apo pa man din daw ako.

"Yes of course. It's such a pleasure to sing for my grandparents. Just tell them to dance in the center, and after a song, please tell those partners here in the party that they can dance also na ha?" The emcee nod at what I said. Kaya naman dumeretso ako kung saan nakalista ang mga kakantahin.

It was a nice song for a lovers who are loving each other for a decades now. Nice song for the oldies.

After all these years

It was a good song for lovers. They grow their love as the day goes by.

Sana ako rin makahanap ng pagmamahal na katulad ng sa kanila.

After the first song, kumanta pa ako at doon na nagsipuntahan sa gitna ang iba't ibang pares. I can see the love in their eyes. Gosh, they are so inlove!

Now the song that I'm singing is Kasama kang tumanda. Just one look at my grandparents' eyes. I can say that no one can ever break their love.

I look at the table of Martin, Isaac and Sunny na lang ang natira. Tito Ronan and Tita Louise, Isaac's parents are already in the dance floor, so is my mommy Camille and daddy Nicolo, and my Ate and Kuya.

I can see that they are happy. So I'm happy too.

I saw kuya Cloud dancing with a girl in white gown. Halata sa pagkanta ko ang pagngiti ko. Para bang, 'yong pagngiti ko ay may boses din na sumasama sa bawat bigkas ko ng lyrics.

The girl in white night dress was stunning, I can say that she is way more than me. Alam kong maganda ako, pero once you saw this girl, masasabi mo na lang na "Ay sobra ng isang buhos sa pagligo ito kaysa kay Amara."

I think, that is his Fiance. Yes, may fiance na ang isa sa mga pinsan ko, at siya yon. Funny part is may pamangkin na pala ako.

His name is Cloud. Just Cloud, like his father. He is too cute like kanina pumunta siya sa amin to greet me.

"Hi po! It is nice meeting you po Tita Collette. My father was always talking about you. He said that one day I will have a ninang po from his cousins!" I pinched his cute cheeks. Bawat pagsalita niya kasi ay may lumalabas na dimple rito. Ang pagpisil ko rito ay ang dahilan ng pagtawag sa akin ni kuya Cloud pero binalewala ko siya.

"You're so pretty po, Tita Collette!" Grabe ang honest ng batang 'to. Bibigyan ko 'to ng maraming toys sa susunod.

As I look around, I saw my twin brother with my husband, of course it is Isaac sino pa nga ba.

He signaled me that he will sing too. Sakto namang tapos ko na ang kakantahin ko kaya binigay ko sa kanya.

I smiled at him after giving the mic. Kaya tumalikod na ako, and there I saw, Isaac with his three piece suit. "May I have this dance?" He was asking for a hand. I saw his hand waiting for mine, my heart is beating so fast. Why?
