CHAPTER 20
RICK'S P.O.V
Hindi ko alam kung paano ko maipapaliwanag ang galak at kasiyahan na nadarama ko sa oras na ito.
Malaya na ako sa kasinungalingan na minsan ay naging kulungan ko.Malaya na akong nailalahad ang nararamdaman ko.
Malaya na akong hawakan ang kamay ng taong mahal ko.
Matapos kong yakapin si Tekki,muli akong nagsalita.
"Thank you Tekki."
"Para saan Rick?"
"Dahil okay na tayo."
Nang masabi ko iyon,napansin kong umaliwalas ang mukha niya na parang bang isang alitaptap sa gabing madilim.
"Tekki tara!"
"Huh,saan?"
"Basta sumama ka na."
Tila ba nag aalinlangan siyang sumama kaya naman bago pa siya tumanggi ay agad ko nang hinawakan ang kamay niya at dali daling hinila patungo sa kotse.
"Rick may pasok ako."
"Bukas na please."
Nang makasakay kami sa kotse.Habang nagdidirive ako ay hinawakan ko ang kanyang kamay.Kasabay nito,pinapatugtog ko ang kantang pareho naming paborito noong hayskul pa kami.
Tonight by Fm Static
I remember the times we spent together on those drives
We had a million questions all about our lives And when we got to New York, everything felt right
I wish you were here with me tonight
I remember the days we spent together were not enough
And it used to feel like dreamin' except we always woke up
Never thought not having you here now, would hurt so much
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you I can just look up and know the stars are Holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight
I remember the time you told me about when you were eight
And all those things you said that night that just couldn't wait
I remember the car you were last seen in
And the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees and stayed out way too late
I remember the time you sat and told me about your Jesus
And how not to look back even if no one believes us
When it hurt so bad sometimes not having you here I sing
Mayamaya lang sa kalagitnaan ng pakikinig namin sa kanta,biglang nagsalita si Tekki at napatingin sa akin.
"Naalala mo pa iyan?"
"Oo naman siyempre,paborito natin iyan diba?"
"Oo nga."
"Naalala mo pa iyong sa may tabing ilog noong retreat natin noon?"
"Oo naman,bakit?"
Inihinto ko muna ang kotse at sinimulan kong pagmasdan ang kanyang mga mata na tila ba puno ng pagtataka.At dahan dahan,sinimulan kong magsalita.
