Sad Beautiful Tragic

==============================

I brace my elbow on the table and lean my chin on my palm.

It's 7:21 already at wala pa rin si Kej. She said we'll meet here in Concha's tonight and she's late.

Nakailang baso na ako ng tubig ngunit hindi pa rin siya dumarating.

Lumapit rin kanina si Thea sakin pagdating ko at nagkwentuhan kami saglit bago niya ako pinakawalan para asikasuhin ang kanyang mga customers.

Mabuti na lang at nandito ulit yung bandang tumutugtog noong nandito ako nung huli. They were again playing a beautiful sad song. Hindi ko mapigilan ang maantig ang puso ko dahil sa lungkot ng kanta at ang lamig ng boses ng vocalist ng banda.

I don't know but I have a feeling that this vocalist's been going through a rough time.

Long handwritten note deep in your pocket

Words, how little they mean when you're a little too late

I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket

Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait

We had a beautiful magic love there

What a sad beautiful tragic love affair

In dreams I meet you in warm conversation

We both wake in lonely beds in different cities

And time is taking its sweet time erasing you

And you've got your demons, and, darling, they all look like me

'Cause we had a beautiful magic love there

What a sad beautiful tragic love affair

Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting

Silence, this train runs off its tracks

Kiss me, try to fix it, could you just try to listen?

Hang up, give up, for the life of us we can't get back

Nang matapos ang kanta ay nakisali ako sa mga customers na pumapalakpak. The song was like, again, written because of what I felt.The singer's really good it made my heart ache. I should ask Mrs. Novejas to have a talent scout lurk here and listen to them.

Nagpasalamat sila at saka nagsimula ng panibagong kanta.

I stole a glance in my watch and sighed heavily. Naiinis na ako sa pagiging late ng kapatid ko. It's almost 7:30.

I decided to just call her at tanungin kung nasaan na siya.

Abala ako sa paghalungkat sa bag ko ay may naupo sa harap ko. Handang handa na akong bulyawan siya ngunit napatda ako.

"I'm really sorry, I'm late." Aniya saka inayos ang pagkakaupo.

Dumagundong ang kabog ng dibdib ko. At may unti unting nabubuong konklusyon sa utak ko ngunit ipanagsawalang bahala ko yun. He might be mistaken.

"I'm sorry but I think you're mistaken. I was waiting for Kej." I said, unsure.

"No, I'm not." Iling ni Kurt.

"Sorry?" I inquired. Nagbabakasakaling mali ako ng pagkakaintindi sa lahat ng ito. Nagsisimula na rin akong manginig. Ewan, sa galit, kaba, sakit o disbelief.

"It was me who really asked you out." Marahang sabi niya. Nalaglag ang panga ko.

I laugh in disbelief at pinag igting ang panga. That traitor fucking bitch! And on cue ay may natanggap akong message mula kay Kej.
