"Alex!" gulat na sabi ko. Did he just hear me sing my heart out just right now?
My goodness! If only the floor could open up and swallow me whole.
"Ang galing mo palang kumanta. No wonder..." he whispered.
"Uh, that wasn't me..." Inangat ko ang hawak-hawak kong cellphone. "The sound was on my phone!" I tried to make up an excuse but he just chuckled.
"Don't worry... Was that a secret?" Lumapit siya sa akin at umupo sa banda kung saan ako umuupo kanina.
"It's not... 'Di na ako kumakanta, so it doesn't really matter." Tinignan ko lang siya.
"Sit beside me, come on. Tell me why..." Pinagpag niya ang espasyo sa tabi niya. Nagdalawang isip pa ako kung tatabi ako sa kanya, and I chose to do so.
"It's nothing, really. I just stopped. Wala naman akong mapapala, besides I don't think it's a loss really," I said in a sense wherein it felt like I didn't really care about singing. I shrugged as I looked away from him.
"Hmm... but it seems like you love music."
"I do, Alex. I just don't like singing anymore."
A lie. Of course, I love singing the most, but it also gave me great pain. So I stopped. I chose to stop.
"Really? Okay..." Natahimik kaming pareho.
"Hoy! Mamaya na kayo mag solo riyan! Uwi na tayo!" Napalingon kaming dalawa kay Anton no'ng bigla siyang sumigaw sa likod namin.
Tumayo kaming dalawa ni Alex at nagkatinginan. Napansin kong namumula ang tenga niya at hindi nmakatingin sa akin. Kinilig pa siya sa sinabi ni Anton?
"Shut up, bro!" natatawang sabi ni Alex at umiling pa.
"Tara na! Ano'ng oras na," dagdag ni Anton at hindi pinansin si Alex.
Napatingin naman ako sa cellphone ko para tignan kung ano'ng oras na. It's past six in the afternoon! Time really flies so fast.
Nagsimula na kaming maglakad ni Alex. Nasa likod lang kami ni Anton.
When we reached the backstage, Khael was the only one there. Where is Cole?
"Nasa kotse na si Cole. Tara na," sabi ni Anton. Their equipment are not here anymore. Maybe they already put it inside the car.
Tahimik lang kaming naglalakad papunta sa kotse. I don't know why, but the atmosphere felt weird. Hindi sila umiimik, something seems off. Or maybe I'm just overthinking.
Binuksan ko na ang pinto ng kotse at nagulat akong si Cole ang nasa driver's seat. Lumingon siya sa akin pero agad din naman tumingin sa harapan. His eyes were kind of longing for something. Pero ang cold pa rin ng aura niya.
Pumasok na lang ako sa kotse ng hindi nagsasalita.
Tahimik ang byahe pauwi. Anton and Khael were talking, but they aren't that loud. Siguro ay dahil na rin sa pagod.
The days went by and now, it's our physical education class.
Ang bilis nga naman ng oras. Nasa locker ako ngayon para kunin ang uniform kong pang P. E.
I was almost dragging myself. I dislike this subject! Tamad na tamad ako habang nagbihis. We are only allowed to wear our P.E. uniforms when it's our physical education class. Ang hasslenga at kailangan pa naming magpalit ng magpalit.
Pagkalabas ko ng C. R. may tumulak sa akin kaya natamaan ko ang ulo ko sa tabi ng pintuan.
"Oops, I didn't see you there!" Pinikit ko ang mga mata ko. Even if I can't see her, I recognize her annoying voice.
