I fell asleep earlier while thinking about deep thoughts. By those deep thoughts- i meant all those events that caused me so much pain.

Nagising na lamang ako ng dilim na at gaya nga ni sinabi ni Manang Selia, nagluto sya ng pabirito ko. Fried chicken wings and lollipop chicken.

Pagkatapos kong kumain ng hapunan ay inilagay ko ang aking pinagkainan sa lababo, huhugasan ko na sana kaso sabi ni Manang Selia sya na lang daw ang mag huhugas.

"Salamat po" ilang beses naman ako lumingon lingon sa paligid, pati salas ay chineck ko na din.

Wait a minute, why am i looking for him?

I just shaked my head and went to the bathroom with my stuffs. I just took a half bath at pagkatapos ay hinayaan ang mahaba kong buhok na nakalugay.

I wore a simple above the knee length pastel pink dress and wear the necklace my mom gaved to me when on my 16th birthday.

Pagkalabas ko ng banyo ay saktong nakasalubong ko si Manang Selia.

"Nasa hardin na sila Rain at Yssa kasama ang ate Crimson mo at si Mang Nestor."

"Ah sige po, salamat po"

"Rose!"

"Ate" saad ko naman.

Pinaupo naman ako ni Ate Crimson sa tabi nila ni Yssa and so i did.

But what made me uneasy is the way Rain stared at me. Tanging lamesa na lamang ang pagitan naming dalawa.

Can't he stop staring at me? kanina pa tuloy ako inaasar ni Ate at Mang Nestor. Yssa doesn't seem bothered at all sa katunayan ay sya pa ang unang nang-aasar sa akin.

"He's looking at you" bulong sakin ni Ate Crimson

"Maybe he's just hungry. Don't mind him" Saad ko naman saka kumuha ng isang bote ng beer mula sa lamesa.

Nagdala kasi ng Isang case ng beer si Mang Nestor, galing daw kasi sila sa bayan kanina.

"Yeah, Maybe he's hungry for you" dagdag naman ni Yssa. Halos mabuga ko na ang beer ko dahil sa sinabi nito.

Ack- why did i even used that word?! Now I'm regretting it.

Maya-maya'y dumating naman si Aling Selia dala ang lalagyan kung saan nakalagay ay inihaw na barbeque at sauce nito.

Hindi ko naman mapigilang hindi sumulyap kay Rain at sa tuwing tinitignan ko sya ay nakatingin din sya sa akin.

ack- damn those hazel eyes.

"Do you mind if i borrow your guitar?" simula talaga ng makilala ko si Rain, unti unti ko ng nakalimutan ang heartbreak ko dahil kay Henry at tuluyan na din akong naka move on.

"Sure" iniabot naman ni Yssa ang gitara nya kay Rain.

"Can you sing?" pabiro ko pang sabi

"Konti lang pero susubukan ko" saad nya saka kumindat sakin. Tinignan naman ako ni Ate Crimson at Yssa ng ayiieee-sana ol-look kaya napatawa na lamang ako.

Yes i admit, Rain and his hazel eyes are too handsome but again, We're just friends.

"Alright, this song is dedicated to the girl who captured my heart" saad nya naman habang nakangiti.

Napaiwas naman ako ng tingin ng magsigawan sila Mang Nestor.

"Kupow, ay may iniibig na pala ikaw, napakapalad na babae" pabirong sabi ni Mang Nestor.

"Si Rose ba yan? yieeeee HAHAHAHAHAHA" saad naman ni Yssa habang natatawa

Again, ayan na naman sila sa tingin nila sa akin. Talaga shini-ship kaming dalawa eh.

"Maybe" ngumisi naman sya habang nakatingin sa direksyon namin.

He's freaking enjoying this-

Walang tigil sa pang aasar si Ate Crimson at Yssa napatigil na lamang sila ng magsimula ng mag strum ng gitara si Rain.

Fallin' out, fallin' in
Nothing's sure in this world no, no
Breakin' out, breakin' in
Never knowin' what lies ahead
We can really never tell it all no, no, no

I had goosebumps when i heard his voice. Damn he's good at singing.

I want to look away but his voice, it's like a magnet pulling my attention to look at him. So i did.

Say goodbye, say hello
To a lover or friend
Sometimes we
Never could understand
Why some things begin then just end
We can really never tell it all no, no, no

Even the elders are enjoying listening to his song. They're humming along with the music. Same goes for Yssa and Ate Crimson.

But oh, can't you see
That no matter what happens
Life goes on and on
So Oh baby, please smile
Coz I'm always around you
And i'll make you see how beautiful
Life is for you and me

Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko parang sasabog na Ito. I felt like i had butterflies in my stomach when he reached the chorus of the song.

He has a very relaxing and soothing voice that can melt your tiredness and worries away.

Take a little time baby
See the butterflies color's
Listen to the birds that were sent
To sing for me and you
Can you feel me
This is such a wonderful place to be
Even if there is pain now
Everything would be all right
For as long as the world still turns
There will be night and day
Can you hear me
There's a rainbow always after the rain

His lovely voice, as well as his hazel eyes made the whole place so unrealistic. Parang tumigil ang mundo, sya lang yung nakikita ko.

I don't know what to feel. It's hard to accept that-

That he's making me confused and making my heart beats faster everytime he's around.

He ended the song with them clapping for him. I couldn't do the same because his voice made me weak...

"What can you say about his voice Rose?" tanong ni Yssa habang lahat sila ay nakatingin sa akin at kinikilig.

I scratched my nape unconsciously then looked the other direction.

"..He has a good voice" I said. Muli namang silang naghiyawan habang inaasar kami ni Rain.

"Ayieeeeeeeee" pang aasar nila Mang Nestor sakin habang nakangisi naman si Rain.

Gosh- that damn smirk!

"Ayieeeeee sana ol!!!" Sigaw pa ni Yssa habang niyuyugyog ang balikat ko.

"Let's have a toast" saad ni Ate Crimson.

"For Rose's successful journey of moving on from a heartbreak and for a new start!"

"Cheers!" pinagbangga namin ang aming mga bote saka uminom.

"You look beautiful" saad nya.

"Baliw" saad ko saka uminom

"Baliw sayo" saad naman nya. Halos maibuga ko ang beer na ininom ko at pakiramdam ko'y namumula ang pisngi ko.

I thought i can make him shut up but i failed. Wrong move Rose, very wrong move.

"you're blushing" He said

"Shut up" Saad ko saka sya nilingon.

He bent down a little so our eyes could met.

"You're bad at lying, Rose" He said then winks at me.

ack- yung puso koooooooo

Leche ka talaga Rain!!!!
