Falling

29th

"Paano ang arrangement ng kanta?"

Kailangan ng areglo para mas madali irecord. The producer is the one who usually do the work. Maliban na lang kung nakipagcommunicate si Falcon sa producer.

"I made it right after we finished the lyrics." He said proudly.

He's really into music. He can write and arrange the songs. He can rap and  sing too. What a package.

Ang huli naming appointment magkasama was a week ago. Nakakabilib, siya mismo ang nagproduce ng kakantahin namin.

Pinagmamasdan ko siyang pinagmamasdan ako habang kumakain ng apple. Kukuha ako ng isang piraso ng...

"Matapos mong iwan tapos kakainin mo ngayon?" he dissed.

Ang damot niya.

"Damot mo." I said with arms crossed now.

"Oh, bite." Aro niya ulit ng isang piraso sa harap ng bibig ko.

Hindi ko pinansin iyon at tinignan lang siya sa malamig na ekspresyon.

"Hindi dapat nagsasayang ng pagkain. Hindi dapat iniiwan basta-basta. Don't worry, padadalhan kita pauwi ng apple. Just don't waste it, okay?"

I nodded without looking at him. May palecture pa!

"Can we start na?" I asked.

"Kainin mo na itong apple mo. We'll start after mo maubos."

Lumaki bahagya ang aking mata. Sa wakas makakakain ako ng pinaka aasam kong apple. Bukod sa noong kinagat ko ang kamay niya, hindi na ako ulit nakakain ng apple. I just got excited when he announced the recording of the song.

I smiled at him as he handed me the small plate. Masaya kong kinain ang laman noon. Falcon is staring while I bite and chew happily.

There's a water dispenser in the room. Kumuha siya ng isang basong tubig at inabot sa akin. Tinanggap ko iyon. Ngunit binalik agad sa kanya dahil masyadong malamig.

"Ang lamig nito. It will strain my voice."

Tinignan niya lang ako at tumango.

"Let's start?" anyaya ko.

He nodded curtly.

"Haaa... hoooo!"

"Pft-" pigil tawa si Falcon sa akin.

Hindi ba uso sa kanya ang vocalization?

"What's funny?" taas-kilay kong tanong.

Humalakhak na siya ngayon.

"You're so adorable." He said with brows dancing.

"Adorable your ass! C'mon, let's start. Baka sunduin na ako ni Manager."

Bumaling siya sa printed document ng aming lyrics. Lumapit din ako roon para makita iyon.

"Magrerecord ka rin ngayon?" nguso ko sa may mic.

"I'm good already. Ikaw na lang kulang."

"What?"

Ang sipag niya naman. He's really into this. Akala ko pa ang tamad-tamad nito kasi wala siyang nagawa noong unang appoinment tapos nakarecord na siya agad. Grabe, A for the effort.

"I'm done with my part."

Hinawakan niya ang kaliwang siko ko at magaang iginiya sa may recording mic.

"Can I listen to your recorded part first? I wanna hear it." I pleaded.

"Nope." Iling niya.

"Hmp, ang damot!"

Tinawanan niya lang ako.

"Come on, record muna natin ang part mo. We'll listen to it 'pag natapos na." He encouraged.

Wala man lang 'do your best' or 'hit the high notes'.

"You have a great voice and I know you know how to use it... I doubt you still need any good luck message."

He pinched my right cheek gently. Suddenly, my hands were filled with cold sweat. Lumayo siya at pumunta sa table. He thumbs up to me, a sign that I can start to sing.

"Hee-eh-lloo!"

The fuck! Pumiyok ako! Unang linya pa lang, gusto ko maglaho sa hiya. Parang tumigil ang oras.

"Ahem! You can start again." He said with a laughter being not able to express.

"Feel free to laugh." I permitted with both of my hands covering my face.

Hee-eh-llo

My voice played on the speaker. His laughter erupted loudly. Talagang p-in-lay niya pa!
