A Rose's Thorn

Part 6

Song: I'll Get Over You by Loving Caliber ft. Mia Niles.

-----------

Nasa kwarto kami ni Ish at umiinom. Ish is really good at making soju cocktails kaya ilang bote na rin ang naubos namin. Bigla siyang tumayo sa pagkakaupo sa tabi ko at kinuha gitara niya. Ish sat on her bed and started to strum her guitar. She sang:

I look in the mirror

Who's looking back at me?

I don't know what happened

Guess we weren't meant to be

I know we had problems

I thought we could fix them

But we got tired

There's nothing left to do

She looked at me with a sad smile.

Baby you and me, we're so messed up together

Even if we tried we'd be stuck here forever

I don't understand right now how to make it through

I smiled back bitterly. I was a little drunk.

Back when I met you

We were like fireworks

Thought nothing could break us

But, oh, how we got burned

Di ko na napigilan ang pagtulo ng luha ko. I started to cry and put my hand on my chest. Parang binibiyak ang puso ko kasabay ng pagtulo ng luha ko.

"You did great in holding it in. It's okay now. Just let it out." pag alo sakin ni Anthony. I cried like a baby.

Even though it hurts right now

I'll get over you

Ooh

I'll get over you

Ooh

Inilapag ni Ish ang kanyang gitara at lumapit sa amin. We huddled together as I let my tears out.

"Put this on your face. Baka mapagalitan ako ni tita pag makitang namamaga mukha mo." inabot sakin ni Ish ang cold towel.

"Pfft. You look like a puffer fish." natatawang dagdag ni Anthony.

I laughed. It feels really great to have them with me.

"You know, you didn't tell us everything. It's been two months already. Di naman sa pinipilit ka namin but you've been keeping it to yourself and you've been suffering because of that. Ish and I are always here for you." nagtatanong ang mga mata ni Anthony.
