Doomed
The pageant smoothly started at kahit may kalamigan ang pakikitungo ni gago sa akin ay nakakayanan ko pa naman but not this time.
"Let's talk," utos ko sa kaniya nang matapos kami sa aming ginawa. Next is talent portion, and we will never be success with this one kung ganito siya makitungo. I was being civil to him and now, damn! What's his problem?
"What are we going to talk about?" he asked coldly, palagi naman. I raised my brow at him.
"Really? Tinatanong mo pa 'yan? What's your problem now, huh?" pikon kong tanong sa kaniya pabalik.
"Nothing." He sighed, akmang tatalikod ito sa akin ng hilahin ko siya pabalik. I almost lost my balance if only he didn't get a hold of my waist.
"Nothing?" Tinampal ko ang kamay niyang nakaagapay sa akin lalo na nang maramdaman ko ang pagbilis nang tibok ng puso ko. Inis ko siyang pinukol ng matalim na tingin.
"And you're being distant and cold and yet you called it nothing?! What's your problem? Sa pagkakaalala ko, ako ang galit sa 'yo. Now what happen? Bakit tila ako pa itong etchapwera, huh?" Napabuntong hininga siya.
"Can we talk about it later? Please, I won't be distant now. I'll be a good boy but please be a good girl too, can you?" Kumunot ang noo ko, I shoot him a confused look.
"And that's me being?" I asked.
"Being distant to Charlie. Pwede bang 'wag kang lumapit-lapit sa kaniya? Can you please do that, Rude?" Napakurap kurap ako. I want to be with Charlie, he's really funny to be with unlike this gago. Pero gusto ko ring manalo sa contest na 'to. Hindi na dahil lamang para sa sarili ko but now, I really needed the money to pay the dresses and gowns which are ruined now. I will never let anyone pay it for me, its my fault anyway.
"Fine!" Buntong hininga ko 'tsaka siya tinalikuran para magbihis na.
And just like what he wanted, I keep my distanced away form Charlie. Nagtataka na rin akong tinignan ni R dahil sa mga kilos ko but I just gave her a smile.
Isang simpleng dress lamang ang isinuot ko para sa talent portion namin.
"Next is, woah! Its contestant number 6. Miss Rudeoz Green Capaldi with her partner, Mister Auriel Geopardy Vasquez!" Isang napakalalim na buntong hininga ang pinakawalan ko. I tightened my hold in his shoulders.
"Are you nervous?" he asked, he held my small back gently as we walk in the stage gracefully.
"Well, yes. This is my first time," pag-amin ko. Napailing ito.
"Hindi ka naman nahihiya kapag nasa harap ka ng maraming tao at namamahiya," napanguso ako sa sinabi niya.
"Magka-iba 'yon," angal ko.
"Whatever you say Rude. Isipin mo na lang na tulad pa rin ito nang practice natin. Isipin mong tayong dalawa lang ang kumakanta." He smiled at me. I nodded my head as an agreement.
Sa stage ay may isang bench, flowers, and tress at the other side bilang props at may swing din doon, good for two people. Hindi ko alam kung saan niya nakuha lahat ng ito but there's nothing imposible when it comes to him. Lahat imposible lalo na at mayaman siya, money works anyway.
"Let's all give a round of applause to our contestant number 6!"
Now playing: Time To Time by LROA_26 (Instrumental)
I gathered all my strength to smile. Inayos ko ang nakasabit na microphone sa aking tenga.
"I don't really wanna be rude, but seeing your face keeps me going..." I started singing while looking at him. Tulad nang sabi niya ay inisip kong kaming dalawa lang ang nandito. That's not needed anyway because even though we are surrounded by many people, I always see him. And the funny part is, it's only him, nothing more.
"Rolling my eyes to keep me sane.. from time to time my hearts beating." Isang singhap ang lumabas sa bibig ko ng makulong ako sa mga bisig niya and just like what we had in our practice, swabe lamang akong kumawala sa yakap niya at naglakad palayo kahit sa totoo lan g ay kanina pa gustong kumawala ng puso ko sa lakas ng tibok nito.
"She's always been something. Glaring as always when she look at me..." It's his turn to sing now. Kung hindi pa ako nakapagpigil ay matutulala na naman sana ako tulad nang nangyari noong una naming practice. My cheeks heated at that thought. Napahiya ko na naman kasi ang sarili ko sa harap niya.
"Don't you know my mind's raging, with thoughts of you and me..." His voice is really cold and soothing. Wala sa sariling naupo ako sa bench na nasa stage.
"Once in a while I hide... running away like a coward. I always can't ride that moody guys mind..." Our gazes meet as I look up. Isang ngiti ang iginawad namin sa isa't isa.
"But our heart just needs loving... treating each other's right is the best thing." Inalalayan ako nito sa pagtayo as we both sang that part.
"Sour face in the plate. She's something I can't read..." I close my eyes as he caress my cheek gently. We are really losing ourselves. Hindi kasali ang paghaplos sa pisngi sa practice namin dahil nga naiilang ako pero ngayon ay tila kailangang kailangan naming gawin ito.
"Her rudeness is spreading, but here I am chasing. From time to time my hearts beating..."
I heard everyone gasped, at may mga napatili pa. Tila natauhan ako roon, I shook my head as I turned my back at him para gawin ang dapat gawin.
"Day and night you're the guy I want. Chosen by my own heart. Ohhh... from time to time." I am looking at him from afar now. Nasa bench lamang siya at nakaupo habang ako ay nagtatago dito sa props na puno. Gaya ng nasa practice namin ay mapupungay ang mga matang nakatingin lamang ako sa kaniya.
"You turned around and I'll be pulling you by hand. Girl, why so nervous? Can't you see that I want you this time?" I don't know how it happen pero nakita ko na lamang ang sarili ko sa harap niya. Isang kabog sa dibdib ang aking naramdaman ng hawakan nito ang kamay ko.
I turned my back at him, again. Akmang lalakad na papalayo sa kaniya.
"Once in a while I hide. Running away like a coward. I always can't ride that moody guys mind..." Napalunok ako ng kabigin nito ang bewang ko paharap sa kaniya. He placed both of his hand at my sides after he slowly encircled my hand in his neck.
"From time to time you make me smile. Can't help the laughter so please don't hide. Be the brave girl that I knew. Let's face the world that is new..." I felt cold, literally cold. Nanlalamig ako sa sobrang kaba. Sa emosyon na nararamdaman ko ngayon.
"'Cause sometimes you loves hiding, but our heart just needs loving. Keep our hands intertwined. I will not let you go this time."
'Oh my ghad! What am I feeling? This is all wrong!'
"This time. Ohh... I'll never let you go this time..." I don't know anymore. The way I stared at him reflecting his emotion, I don't know if its all an act, or I am really feeling this.
'I'm doomed!'
