Amor Fati Series #1: Chasing Thy Fate

"So okay, the I'd lie by Taylor was one of my favorite songs! This was soooo underrated and I'm gatekeeping it, I found out about this song when I was on my 6th grade." I said.

"6th grade? That long?" He asked.

"Not that long though. I even wondered to myself on why I find out about it late. This song was suggested by a friend and i couldn't stop listening about it ever since. I even told myself that I'd cry if this won't be included into Taylor's vault track under debut album."

"Hmm, tell me more about it. What do you think about the song?"

"It's great! It's like crushing over someone you don't want everybody to know. Like knowing your favorite person even the simplest details without telling everyone, admiring someone who don't have any idea someone has fellen in love with them already. And if ever asked despite their massive chemistry, I'd lie." I explained.

"What about you? Were you paying attention earlier?" I asked. I opened the window by my side- when I opened it, he did the same thing. I smiled as the breeze touched my face. 

How comforting.

"Hmm, for me. It's like two people that has undeniable chemistry but one isn't completely aware. More like crushing over someone who have no plans on falling in love. One-sided but not the kind of love that's painful. It's the kind of love you'd find comfort over someone, just plainly loving them unconditionally." mahabangsalaysay niya. 

"Wow, you really are paying attention."

He scoffed. "Of course, you've sang the chorus loudly." He laughed. 

"Your voice is beautiful though, nothing to worry about." He added. 

I turned to him. "What's your favorite song though?" 

"Hmm, I honestly don't know. I can't tell." 

"Naka depende ba sa mood mo?" I asked. 

"Sort of." He laughed.

"Madalas mong pakinggan nalang." I shifted my question. 

"A Thousand Years and Passenger Seat, familliar with those?" he asked. 

"Tinatanong pa ba 'yan? of course! I often listen to Passenger Seat and A thousand years when I was  a bit younger."

"Would you mind singing it for me then?" He asked.

"Ayoko nga, tatawa ka na naman. Wala nga tayong background music." 

He laughed. "That's the point. Your voice alone is already unbeatable. I wanna hear your version." 

I bit my lower lip as I was thinking about it. "Deal, IF. You'd sing together with me."

"Hmm. Deal. Passenger Seat it is, I'll go first." He volunteered. 

Wow malakas naman pala loob nito, dami pang pamimilit. 

"Wait a bit. Where's your phone?" I asked. 

"In the dashboard, you can get it." I obliged and looked for his phone.
