Zoella
I parked my car at the vacant lot nearby. Nang makalabas ako sa sasakyan ay rinig na rinig ko na ang hiyawan ng mga tao. I guess the concert is about to start. This is going to be wild. I close my eyes as I tilt my head upward to breathe before proceeding to the quadrangle. When I open my eyes the moon greeted me with extreme luster. I smiled as I felt illuminated, para tuloy akong sinaniban ng kasaganahan. I've read it somewhere that tonight's moon is magical, the Wolf Moon, Paige must be merry now. It's the first full moon of the year Lucas is really great in choosing dates for their concert.
I wend my way to the quadrangle, diving in a whole bunch of crowd. Paige told me nasa front sila, I guess I'll be taking a dip of different stinks of redolence to high heaven this time. I held my breath as long as I could lalo na ng madaanan ko ang mga taong sa wari koy hindi na maganda ang amoy dahil naligo na sa sariling pawis. Ang init naman kase.
"Zoella!" I heard my name, at saktong paglingon ko ay mukha ni Paige ang bumungad sa akin habang sumasayaw sa saliw ng musika kasama ang boyfriend niyang si Zion, kasama rin niya ang iba pa naming kaibigan na as usual, may boyfriend ring kasama. What's new? Ako lang naman walang jowa dito.
"I'm sorry medyo natagalan, may inasikaso pa kase ako sa office." Paliwanag ko, 7:30pm kase yung usapan namin at 8:05pm na ngayon and the concert starts at exactly 8pm, pero well dahil pinoy tayo instances like this are likely to happen.
"The concert's just about to start, that's okay." Paige's smiled. Binaling ko ang tingin sa stage, I saw Lucas walking towards the on-stage microphone, nakapwesto na rin ang mga kabanda niya sa kanya-kanyang instruments na gagamitin nila.
"Imperial University, are you ready?" Sigaw niya na siya namang nagpalakas sa sigawan ng mga tao. I bet my ears are good to die after this pero sanay na naman ako we've been to a lot of concerts, parties, and crowds already, perks of having merrymaker friends.
I remained calm not until I heard a familiar song.
And I'd give up forever to touch you...
I had goosebumps when I heard his voice.
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
That's not Lucas' voice.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
I tried to catch a sight of the stage to see whose singing but I failed. The lights are blinding me, ang sakit sa mata. Hindi ko pa naman suot ang eyeglasses ko. Ugh kainis naman.
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Hindi ko maintindihan bakit ganito. Bakit bawat pag awit niya ng kanta ay tila ba kay bigat. Lumingon ako sa mga kaibigan ko at nakita kong tinatamasa nila ang kanilang naririnig.
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
His voice sounded like an angel. I know you don't really call a guy's voice beautiful, but his was. His voice was tough but it sounded enough, enough for me to feel every emotion he let loose to be felt.
When everything's meant to be broken
Naramdaman ko ang pagpatak ng luha sa mata ko. Ano ba naman yan. Kainis.
I just want you to know who I am
I wiped my tears as he's about to finish the song. Grabe, mapanakit.
