Chapter 23

(Song for this chapter ->)

 

“Ang aggressive mo mahal na prinsesa.” Sabi ni Julian sabay akbay sakin. I didnt mind though. Masyadong focus yung utak ko sa sakit na nararamdaman ko sa dibdib ko.

Damn heart. Bakit ka kasi nainlove sa taong may mahal na iba?

Bakit sakanya pa?

Nang magsawa sila sa shot and dare ay nagpasya silang magvideoke. Pumunta kami sa isang parte ng rest house nila. It was a nipa hut. Sa labas to ng bahay, malapit sa swimming pool. Kumuha agad ako ng panibagong beer ng ilapag nila yung case sa gilid ng lamesa.

I sat down and drank my beer. Drank my sorrow. God damn it! Napakadrama ko! Kailan pa ko natuto magdrama? Bullsh-t na love yan!

Masayang kumanta si Aliah at si Kuya Kevin. Duet pa sila. Nagsasayawan at naghihiyawan naman sila Azi, Safrina at Meg. Habang tahimik na naghaharutan sa gilid sila Angel at Montefalco. Ininstraight ko yung bote ng beer na hawak ko.

“Trying to get drunk cous?” Natatawang sabi ni Meg.

I shrugged and rolled my eyes heavenwards.

Kinuha ni Montefalco ang mic at nagpasok siya ng kanta. She stood infront of Angel and I can see the sparks in his eyes. Kakantahan niya si Angel?

 

“You’re a falling star, you’re the get away car.

You’re the line in the sand when I go too far.

You’re the swimming pool, on an August day.

And you’re the perfect thing to say.”

 

He started singing. Itinayo niya pa si Angel at hinawakan ang kamay neto.

 

Suddenly, everything seems so blurry. Nararamdaman ko yung mga luhang nagbabadyang lumabas. Nararamdaman ko yung malakas na pagkabasag ng puso ko. It was like a virus na biglang kumalat sa buong sistema ko. The pain, it was all over my system.

“And you play it coy, but it’s kinda cute.

Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.

Baby dont pretend, that you dont know its true.

Cause you can see it when I look at you.”

 

I stood up. Kasabay ng pagtalikod ko ay ang pagbagsak ng luha galing sa mata ko. Buti nalang medyo madilim kaya walang nakahalata. I wiped it away and grabbed another beer. Mabilis ko yong ininom.

“And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times

Its you, its you, you make me sing

You’re every line, you’re every word

You’re everything.”
