Live, Love, Longer

CHAPTER 16

Rainbow

I woke up in having a headache. Si Ash ay mahimbing pa rin ang tulog sa tabi ko. I woke them up last night para makatulog sila sa mga kwarto nila. I'm just not sure if nakabalik sila ng maayos.

Tumayo ako saka naligo pagkatapos ay nagparoom service ako para maka-kain na. Nang dumating ito ay ginising ko na si Ash para kumain, I ordered pancake and coffee. Nang matapos ay nagpahinga kami saglit saka ko hinintay matapos maligo si Ash, itatry kasi namin ngayon ang mga activities ng resort.

"Do you think gising na sila?" Ash asked, Naglalakad kami ngayon papunta sa isang kubo.

"I don't know but I texted Alex" sabi ko saka na-upo. A few hours later Alex and his friends arrived.

"Wow dumating pa kayo" Sabi ko habang nakatingin sakanila, mapungay pa rin ang mga mata nila na para bang inaatok pa.

"Tara na" aya ko saka nauna ng naglakad, sumabay sa'kin si Alex habang nakasunod samin sina Ash. We ride a jet ski. Si Ash at Eric ay magkasama. Habang sina Luke, Lance, Roderic ay may kanya-kanyang sinasakyan. Wala si Steven dahil kasama niya ngayon si Ava, ayaw daw kasi siyang makasama nina Luke kaya si Steven lang ang sumama dito dahil siya naman ang nag-imbita sakaniya.

"Oh?! Tara na!" Aya ko kay Alex na parang wala pang balak.

"Tara"

"Anong tara?"

"Sakay kana, Ako magpapaandar" maglalakad na sana siya papunta sa jet ski ngunit hinawakan ko ang palapulduhan niya para tumigil siya.

"Anong ikaw ang magpapaandar? Kuha ka ng sayo, ako don" Nakakunot noong sabi ko habang siya ay nakatingin lang siya sa'kin.

"Alam mo kailangan mo'ko kase pwede kang kainin ng pating don"

"Walang pating dito"

"Pwede kang mahulog sa dagat at malunod"

"Marunong akong magpa andar ng jet ski at marunong din akong lumangoy"

"Pwede kang-" napahinto siya saka napahawak sa baba na para bang nag-iisip.

"Wala! Wala ka ng maisip! Bye!" Sabi ko saka na naglakad papunta sa jet ski saka ito kaagad na pinaandar. Tumagal kami sa dagat ng tatlo or apat na oras, nagkukulitan at nagbabangayan ang mga ito. Ako naman ay puro kuha ng litrato, tawang-tawa ako dahil dun sa isang shot ay tinulak ni Alex si Lance kaya ito nahulog sa dagat.

Nang mag gabi ay nag-aya silang pumunta sa mini bar dito. Mayroong mga performers na kumakanta, pwede ring mag request ng kanta o di kaya ay ikaw mismo ang kumanta.

Si Luke, Lance at Alex ay kumanta sa harapan dahil sila lang naman ang makapal ang mukha sa min. Sila lang din ang marunong kumanta dahil nagkaroon ang mga ito ng sarili nilang banda noong highschool sila. Alex was the one singing Lance and Luke was the one who's playing the instruments.

"Is there a lifetime waiting for us? All this time a had been yours." All the audience clapped after the song, pangatlo na nilang kanta 'yon dahil ang dalawang naunang kanta ay ni request ng ibang guest. They where enjoying the songs, dahil na din sa ganda ng boses ni Alex.

"Sing" napatingin ako kay Ash ng bigla itong bumulong.

"What? No! Nakakahiya!" I said, nagkibit balikat lang siya saka umayos ng upo.

"Ok! Thank you, The songs where beautiful and also the voice of the singer and of course because of the your handsome faces!" sabi nung babaeng nasa tabi nina Alex kaya naman ito natawa. Malandi! Taksil! Chos hehe. Bumalik na sa table namin sina Alex kaya naman nagtanong ulit ang babae kung sino ang gustong mag volunteer na kumanta.

Nagulat naman ako ng biglang may nagtaas ng kamay ko, gulat akong napatingin kay Alex na nakahawak pa rin sa kamay ko habang nakataas ito.

"Hoy!" Gulat na sabi ko saka kaagad na ibinaba ang kamay ko.

"Ma'am! Dito po" napatingin ako sa babaeng nasa stage na malawak ang ngiting tumatawag sa'kin. Iling ako ng iling para sabihing ayoko pagkatapos ay tinignan si Alex.

"Go!" Nakangiting sabi niya.

"Ayoko!"

"Tara" tumayo siya saka ako hinila. Magpupumilit pa sana akong ngunit nakakahiya baka makaladkad ako ng tuluyan. Binigay sa'kin ang mic bago bumaba ang babae sa mini stage. Tinignan ko si Alex na nasa likod ko habang hawak ang gitara, ngumiti siya sa'kin saka nag thumbs up.

"Ano kakantahin mo?" Tanong niya noong nakatingin ako sa kaniya. Ngumiti ulit siya saka bahagyang natawa. Sobrang kinakabahan ako dahil hindi naman ako ganoon kagaling kumanta.

"Rainbow" I said, He nodded and then started playing the guitar.

"Fallin' out, fallin' in, nothing's sure in this world no, no. Breakin' out, breakin' in, never knowin' what lies ahead. We can really never tell it all no, no, no...." I looked at the crowds, most of them are couples.

"Say goodbye, say hello to a lover or friend. Sometimes we never could understand why some things begin then just end. We can really never tell it all no, no, no. But oh, can't you see, that no matter what happens life goes on and on. So Oh baby, please smile coz I'm always around you and i'll make you see how beautiful Life is for you and me...." I looked at Alex, he was busy playing the guitar. He looked up then smiled when he saw me looking at Him. I smiled sweetly.

"Take a little time baby, see the butterflies color's. Listen to the birds that were sent to sing for me and you. Can you feel me this is such a wonderful place to be. Even if there is pain now, everything would be all right for as long as the world still turns there will be night and day. Can you hear me, there's a rainbow always after the rain... Ohh, whoa..." I looked at our table. Luke gave me a thumbs up when he saw me looking at them, Lance smiled, Roderic was busy talking with a girl kaya napangiti ako. Eric and Ash where both smiling at me, Ash even clapped.

"Hittin' high, hittin' low, win or lose you should go, yeah yeah... Getting warm, getting cold, weather could be so good or bad but Baby this is life now don't get mad no, no, no... Coz oh, cant you see that no matter what happens life goes on and on. So Oh Baby, please smile (Just Smile) coz im always around you and i'll make you see how beautiful life is for you and me. Take a little time Baby, see the butterflies' colors. Listen to the birds that were sent to sing for me and you. Can you feel me this is such a wonderful place to be even if there is pain now, everything would be all right for as long as the world still turns there will be night and day. Can you hear me, there's a rainbow always after the rain..."

"Life's full of challenges, not all the time we get what we want. But don't despair my dear coz I know now, you'll take each trial and you'll make it through the storm coz you're strong my faith in you is clear, so i'll say once again this worlds wonderful and let us celebrate life that's so beautiful, so beautiful.. Ohhhh... Take a little time Baby, sse the butterflies' colors. Listen to the birds that were sent to sing for me and you. Can you feel me this is such a wonderful place to be. Even if there is pain now, everything would be all right for as long as the world still turns there will be night and day. Can you hear me there's a rainbow always after the rain"

After that all the crowds clapped there hands, I smiled then bowed a little. Tumatawa akong humarap kay Alex, he smiled at me then clapped his hands a little.

He approached me then touched me on the waist, He approached my ear then whispered.

"You have a great voice, love"
