Dance the Rhythm

LOUDER

Zarins looked out the dark clouds outside their classroom.. at kasabay ang pag-announce na cancelled na ang mga klase dahil signal number 3 na sila. 

She smiled sadly at kinuha ang bag...

"Zarins, uuwi ka na? Sabay sabay na tayo nina Karlo.."Elaine said hooking her arms around hers..

"Hindi na.. may dadaanan pa ako eh.."

"Sige..sabay na kami sayo..boring eh.. wala kami mapuntahan.."

Her eyes widened at that.. "Naku..hindi nyo matitripan ang pupuntahan ko.. dadaanan ko sina ate sa squatters."

"That's fine.. tara."

"Elaine..please..wag muna ngayon.. may importante lang talaga akong lakad."

Elaine smiled at her.. understanding everything she cannot say.. "Ok.Next time samahan mo naman kami ah."

She just nodded and headed out their classroom.. pero bago pa sya makalabas ng university.. naharang na sya ng ilang babae na hindi pa din makagetover na pumapasok sa kanilang university ang tulad nya.

"Wow.. look whose here.. tamang-tama.. ipatangay na natin ito sa bagyo.."

She's about to ignore them when Jericho and his classmates block her view from them.. "Eh kung kayo kaya ang ipatangay namin sa bagyo? Dalang-dala kayo sa kapayatan nyo na yan."

She smiled at them.. "Jericho."

"Ate.. pasensya ka na ha..alam namin nahihirapan ka sa kanila. Wag ka mag-alala tutulungan ka namin."

"Salamat ha."

"Basta nandito lang kami."

Zarins smiled.. she didn't realized she has touched their life that much..much to the point they are willing to ruin their own name just to help her.

"Thank you."

She then proceed to her own battle.

The wind is starting to whistle.. the roofs are almost torned away... and the rain has started to ram her body..

"Oh..look who's here!! Andito na ang prinsesa!!"

Her eyes automatically searched for Gino.. and there she saw him leaning on the wall.. his eyes blank and unreadable..so very different from his formar self.. nasa tabi nito si Vince na nakangiti ng malungkot sa kanya..

Unti-unti na syang binabalot ng pagkapahiya sa pagtingin sa kanya ng lahat,.pero hindi na sya pwedeng umurong..

The storm is already here.. and she's about to dance with it..

A sexy beautiful girl approached Gino.. and wrapped her arms around him.. she smiled bitterly.. kasi bagay sila.. kasi hindi na nya makita ang sariling kapareha pa ito..

Angelo then get her attention..

"I changed my game plan, princess.. hindi na kaming lahat ang lalaban sayo..only Gino and Mira will dance.. para patas ang laban.. but then depende pa din sa lahat kung gusto nilang sumayaw..this is a no rule dance.. ang tanging paraan para manalo ay makatagal sa bagyong ito.."

"Deal."

She's already feeling the cold lalo na habang nakikita ang paghapit ni Gino sa katawan ni Mira.. still his expression is unreadable. She kept her mind focused on her goal at hindi pwedeng matinag sya sa nakikita..though her heart is already breaking into pieces. Ito ang gusto nilang mangyari..ang manghina sya sa pamamagitan ni Gino..

And so the dancing with the storm began..

Louder, louder, louder, louder

I'm staring out of my window
And the rain is pouring down
When you left I was so low
But I'm not gonna drown
