Warm Changes (Seasons of Love Series #4)

CHAPTER 22

"Ayoko nga Daddyow! Naman e!"

Kanina pa kami nagbabangayan ni Lolo, para nanaman siyang bata! Namimilit na tumugtog daw ako, kami kami lang naman daw katwiran niya pa. Alam naman ni Sir Milandro na ako ang kumanta sa kasal ng pamangkin niya pero nakakahiya pa rin!

"Sige na, bibilhan kita ticket papuntang Korea para makita mo 'yang trese mong lalaki," he bribed me.

"A-yo-ko. May savings ako Daddyow, kung gusto ko pumunta sa Korea, pupunta ako," humalikipkip ako sa harap niya. I'm not spoiled but I bet I'm acting like one, right now.

"Na miss ko lang naman na tumugtog ka e," pagpapa awa niya pa.

"Pwede naman bukas, kung kailan walang bisita. Huwag ka mamilit Lolo!" Pagmamaktol ko, sinadya kong tawagin siyang 'Lolo' para lng tumigil siya.

Napayuko ito saka bagsak ang balikat na bumalik sa hapag kainan, napabuntong hininga nalang ako. Halos mapasabunot nalang ako sa hangin, dinadaan nanaman ako sa pagtatampo niya! Alam na alam niyang hindi ako nakaka tiis kapag ganiyan sila.

Napipilitan akong lumapit sa piano ko, tahimik na nakahiga lang sina Choco, Mallows at Chumi sa carpet dito sa sala.

I started with just random key — as always. It's like I'm building a momentum, I don't usually play a music straight to it. Sometimes it takes about fifteen minutes for me to be able to decide what to play. Then I remember the song from Casper the friendly ghost.

I love that movie so much, particularly when Casper turned into a human and be able to dance with Kat. 

Every now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend that I've found

A small smile stretched my lips, remembering my friends. I somehow dedicate this song to then.

I know you can't stay
A part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay

Sadly this is true, people come and go. Even pets, nothing is permanent in this world. Even our minds change, same with feelings.

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

Minsan napapaisip ako, kung mawawala kaya ako anong maaalala kaya nila sa 'kin? Or maaalala ba nila ako?

I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go
And I know that you'll be there
Forever more a part of me, you're everywhere
I'll always care

But it's fine, if they won't remember me then I will. Kung saan man ako mapunta, sa taas ba o sa baba babaunin ko 'yung mga memories ko kasama sila.

And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by your side and all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe

Nawala ako bigla, namali ako ng key na napindot. Kung ano ano kasi naiisip ko e, ang advance mo nanaman Sabrina Skylar, kamatayan agad iniisip? Baka marami pang ibato sa 'king problema na kailangan ko pa harapin, nakakahiya naman mamaalam agad.

"Your Mom knows how to make a person fall huh?"

Mabilis akong tumingin sa likod ko, naroon si Carl nakaupo sa tabi nina Mallows na nagpapa belly rub sakaniya. They don't usually behave like that, maharot 'yang tatlong 'yan ah? Lalo na kapag nandito sina Liam. Bakit ngayon ang behave nila? Pusta pa ako kung nandito 'yung mga mokong sasabihin no'n may favoritism 'tong tatlo.
