The Twihard Meets The Potterhead

Chapter 36: Birthday?

Aliyah’s POV

“So sorry Ali but I miss you so much. Namiss ko ang pagtugtog mo.” Sabi ni Anika saakin sabay hila saakin patungo sa stage.

Umupo ako sa harapan ng  grand piano na may white at purple keys. Damn it! Ang ganda neto. Namiss ko rin magplay para sa public kaya naman I did not hesitate at nagsimula akong tumutog. I chose Claire de lune by Claude Debussy. Since I love twilight isa na din ito sa mga naging favourite piece ko na tugtugin.

Habang tumutugtog ako ay na iimagine ko sila Bella at Edward na sumasayaw. Gosh! My twilight feels na naman. Nagpatuloy lang ako sa pagtutog hanggang sa inangat ko ang tingin ko para tingnan ang mga tao na nakikinig saakin. Pinaikot ko ang tingin ko sa crowd hanggang sa nagtama ang tingin namin ni Liam. Damn it! Agad ko naman iniwas ang tingin ko sa kanya. Kakainis kasi ang pagmumukha niya.

I continued playing the piece until sa natapos na ito. Tumayo naman ako para mag bow but before pa ako nakababa sa stage ay pinigilan ako si Evan. Tiningnan ko naman siya at nakangiti lang siya saakin ng nakakaloko. I can’t help but smile too.

“Kanta tayo.” Sabi niya sabay hila saakin patungo sa stage. What did he just say? Are we going to sing?

“Wait what?” I let go of his hands and I glared at him.

“Come on Ali.. Just this once.” Ngumiti siya saakin and he waited for my answer.

“Okay then. What are we going to sing?” I asked Evan.

“It depends kung ano ang request ng mga tao.” He winked at me then kumuha siya ng guitar. Ako naman ay napaupo sa may gitna ng stage kung saan mayroong dalawang chair na nakalagay at mayroon ding mic.

Evan sat right next to me then nagsalita siya.

“Good evening Ladies and gentlemen. Me and this beautiful girl right next to me, my girlfriend Aliyah will be your singers for tonight. So if you have a request please come here up on stage and tell us.” Sabi ni Evan through the mic. The first one to come up on stage is Macy.

“Hi Bruha. You are so pretty.” She said sarcastically noong inabot niya saakin ang paper. Tiningnan ko naman siya ng masama.

“Bitter ka talaga impakta.” Ngumiti ako sa kanya.

“Ikaw talaga Mace, bumaba ka na nga baka matunaw kana sa katitig ni Drake sayo.” Sabi ni Evan sabay tingin kay Drake na kanina pa tingin ng tingin kay Macy. Sus! Ang pinsan kong Casanova may gusto sa best friend kong bitter.

“Are you sure you are going to sing?” I asked Evan. He nodded.

“Okay then. Let’s get this started.” Ngumiti si Evan saakin and he started strumming the guitar.

“So, Good evening everyone. I hope you are having a good time. This song is dedicated to my best friend Macy. Our fave Ed Sheeran song.”

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

Nagsimulang kumanta si Evan. OMG! How can his voice be this good? Tiningnan ko siya but he’s just strumming the guitar, ngumiti siya saakin at nagpatuloy lang sa pag strum ng guitar. I arched an eyebrow. Nakangiti pa rin siya saakin. Who the hell is singing??

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen still

Kumanta na din ako but my eyes were on the crowd, searching for the one na kumanta ng first verse.

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home
