It was 4:30 p.m. when I arrived at CGC, 2 hours before the show. There was already a lot of hot air balloon floating. The air was warm and brushed my hair, but the sun was still out.
Arden was standing next to the inflatable arc wearing a blue-Puhon-shirt and denim tied with his Puma shoes. I expected him to be late because he always does, but now, I can tell it was different. He started to fix his posture and waved his hand when he saw me coming near him.
"Sabi ko na nga ba isusuot mo yan!" He said pointing at my pink-Puhon-shirt.
"We look weird and corny," I met Arden's eyes, dark and deep. I noticed his eyes were a bit puffy and looked like he had just cried.
He shook his head and held my right hand to snap it lightly. "No, we're not. We're actually perfect." He stretched out his right shoulder while his left hand was still intertwined with mine. "Ang sakit ng likod ko."
"Kaka computer mo yan, okaya UTI."
"Bakit mo ginaganyan yung crush mo? Hindi ba pwedeng araw-araw lang akong nahuhulog sa'yo?" He raised his eyebrow and looked at me intently.
"Tanga!" Not realizing that, I stopped faking my smile and started to laugh. How can I even let go of the person who makes me smile well?
"I can endure any pain they threw at me as long as I see your indescribable smile." The edges of his eyes crinkled, and his lips formed a smile. I saw his pain through his smile.
"Corny mo. since birth, tara na nga!" I pulled him to the entrance like we were both okay. There were tons of people in the VIP section already, so our place was far away from the stage.
None of us didn't talk for a while, so the awkwardness was eating us slowly, although we were covered with the loud noise coming from the giant speakers until he tapped me and pointed out the sun, starting to set. We watched at the horizon while draining colors.
"I read these from Atticus, and finally, I can relate to it. Jo, I need you and some sunsets." He leaned close to my ear for me to truly hear him, his cheek full of comfort on mine.
I was about to say I loved you when the emcee started to greet us lively. Arden pulled away from me just as the emcee shouted "The Juans, " and they came out.
Carl Guevarra passionately greeted us, and the crowd started to cheer and shout. Arden put his hands in his pocket and seriously stared at them. For he knew that I had a crush on the bassist of the Juans named Chael.
The lights went out, and the only thing that lighted the surroundings was the big screen showing their videos. Chael and Rj intensely strummed their acoustic guitar and bass guitar, and Japs began to sing the first verse of Ang Babae sa MRT, followed by Carl.
The drums were synchronously played by Joshua, making the crowd more excited. I sang the words to Arden, not minding my out-of-tune voice, smiling while his warm hand was in mine. I started to join the crowd, put my hand in the air, and waved it. I was deeply attached to the moment, not minding what our real problems were. All I know is I'm living with the feeling of being in love and loved.
