The Song's Memory (Engineering Student #2)

Chapter Thirty

Chapter 30

"What the heart has once known, it shall never forget."

Isn't it amazing that the heart never forgets and it never gives up despite the memory fades? The heart will always find its way to love again. The heart will always beat for the one it truly loves.

"What are you thinking?"

I looked at Kai who is already here at the second floor of our house specifically in the piano area. I am sitting in front of the piano while he's leaning on it.

"Am I good at playing piano?" I asked. Though they always say that I am but I need to hear it from him.

"Yes." he smirked.

"Talaga? Nainlove ka ba sa pagtugtog ko?" I said playfully.

He nodded seriously then licked his lips eventually. My stomach flutters.

"But I already forgot how to play this," I frowned. "I went back to zero. Nag-aral na lang ulit ako nito. Nagbabakasakali na..." I paused.

"It's okay. You don't have to force yourself."

"I know that. It's just that..." I bit my lower lip.

"You missed it?"

"Oo? Whenever I see this I am always eager to learn how to play this again. Kaya siguro, miss ko na... miss na ng puso ko..."

"Hmmm..." he mumbled.

"Pero alam mo ba? Parang may nami-miss pa akong isa eh," sambit ko.

"Uh-huh. What is it?"

I pursed my lips.

"I think it's a person."

"Then who is it?" now, he became very attentive. I traced the piano's keys then I looked at him.

"Ikaw," nahihiya kong sabi.

My face heated after that. Damn. I think it's true though. One thing I am aware of is that I am desperate to remember everything in the past because of him. Simula nang makita ko siya alam ko na may kakaiba na. Hindi ko man siya maalala pero iba na ang pintig ng puso ko una pa lang.

I hurt him. I almost give up. Una pa lang parang wala na talagang pag-asa na makaalala pa... but when I saw him fighting for me—that gave me strength and will to continue. It's just that I need a little more time—but I guess, it still not enough.

But whatever... that doesn't matter to me anymore. Nandito naman na siya, handang tanggapin pa rin ako. Damn, I don't know what I did before to have a man like him.
