Andito ako sa HQ ng 4 shadows. We only have 3 days to practice. Dahil eto pala ang opening act for Achilles festival.
Nasabi ko na rin sa 3 kong roommates na sumali ako dito. At first, they dont believe but when 4 shadows themselves personally excused me on the class, the believe it.
Johan handed us the piece that we're going to sing.
"Terrified" sabay naming basa ni Ian.
Kung tatanungin nyo si Andrada, eto, nilulusaw sa titig ang papel na hawak nya.
"Dude, kelan ka pa nagkaroon ng sweet and corny side?" mapang asar na tanong ni Ian kay Johan.
"Shut up. Better follow this piece dude." angil naman ni Johan.
Ian just rolled his eyes. And I mentally facepalmed here cause they are like girls ranting about useless things.
"You guys can make a perfect couple" and the two glared at me.
"Kelan ba tayo magsisimula?" inip na tanong ni Ravi na nakapwesto na sa keyboard.
Umayos na rin kami. Im holding an acoustic guitar.
"Dude, get your ass off" pabirong sabi ni Johan kay Andrada na hanggang ngayon ay tinutunaw pa rin sa titig ang papel.
And surprisingly, pumwesto na rin sya which is malapit sa akin since kami ang kakanta.
Based on my observation, Music is as important as Mafia for them. I dont know but they are gangsters who love music that much.
He get his bass guitar. Seryoso naman syang tumingin sa akin.
"Do I really need to sing with this stupid?" tanong nya.
"Do I really need to sing with this jerk?" ganti kong tanong. Nagbigayan naman kami ng death glares sa isa't isa.
Literal namang napasabunot si Johan. Dahil hindi nya kayang pag taasan ng boses ang kanilang lider.
"Napag usapan na natin ito. Ahh. Sakit ng ulo ko!" reklamo ni Johan.
"I hate her" casual na sabi naman ni Andrada
"The feeling is mutual jerk" Geez. I have never been encountered such an annoying creature like this jerk.
I sighed. Arguing with this jerk is simply useless.
And as if on cue, Johan started playing his bass and everybody follows.
I started strumming mine. I inhaled deeply.
You, by the light
Is the greatest find
In a world full of wrong
You're the thing that's right
Andrada started strumming too.
Finally made it through the lonely
To the other side
You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life
And this could be good
It's already better than that
And nothing's worse
Than knowing you're holding back
I could be all that you need
If you let me try
You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only
We both paused.
I only said it 'cause I mean it
I only mean 'cause it's true
So don't you doubt what I've been
dreaming
'Cause it fills me up and holds me close whenever I'm without you
You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life
And the last note played. I sighed.
"It's great, but no emotions at all" Johan commented.
"Sorry, but I dont know the relevance of this song" confused kong sabi.
Tumawa naman si Johan and Ian.
"I guess you're never been inlove" nakangising komento ni Ian. I just rolled my eyes.
"Then find another singer" asar kong sabi. Ibinaba ko naman ang guitar na hawak ko. At akmang lalabas na ng HQ.
"Woah. woah. Wait lang. We're just kidding." habol ni Johan.
"Gaya nga ng sabi ko, ikaw lang ang naglakas loob na sumali so dont ever think na papakawalan ka pa namin." I looked at them annoyingly.
"One more word and Im out" I said.
"How bout you dude?" baling nila kay Andrada and he just shrugged. As if namang may magtatangkang magmahal dyan sa jerk na yan. Uh yes. Arya I guessed?
Unexpectedly, Ravi started dragging me out of the HQ. The remaining three are left dumbfounded.
Dinala nya ako sa may puno na madalas kong tambayan.
"So it's true." he started.
"Huh?"
"You're never been inlove" it's more like he is talking to himself than to me. Di ako sumagot.
"You're a singer yet you dont know the importance of emotions in music."
"Uhh. Sorry but singing aint my specialty. And I dont care if emotions are needed" like yeah. especially love.
"But you need that certain emotion for that certain song and... everybody knows that" giit nya.
"So Im the stupid one here" sagot ko. Umiling naman sya.
"Sorry but Im not like a music maniac who needs to be a perfectionist when it comes to music. And I aint like Cast clan who" oh oh. Napatingin naman sya sa akin. Shit. Ray!
"Cast clan what?" seryoso nyang tanong.
"Like duhh. You're clan is known in music industry so yeah" palusot ko. I hope that he'll buy that stupid reason.
Tumango tango naman sya.
"I know Johan, he wouldn't change the song choice just because you cant relate. You are the one who needs to adjust. And I'll help you" I blinked many times.
"Wait. What?" confused kong tanong. He just smiled at me.
Wait. What? Did Ravi Cast just smiled on me.
