It Started with a McFLOAT

CHAPTER 25

CEE

"Wait lang, ha?" tumalikod ako saglit para kunin 'yong ukelele pati lakas ng loob.

Oo, pati lakas ng loob na sana ay gumana. Pagharap ko sa kanya ay parang may question mark sa noo ni Mojow.

"Ano 'yan?" tanong niya sa akin.

"Ukelele, Ssshh... makinig ka muna," nag-strum ako sa instrumento at tinugtog ang ringtone niya na, "I just want you" ni Aj Rafael dahil malamang ay paborito niyang kanta 'yon at isa pa sakto kasi sa nararamdaman ko sa ngayon.

STEP 4: SING HER FAVORITE SONG.

There's something I gotta say to youBut I'm so afraid of what you'll doOoh ooh ooh oohI'll just admit this to you nowThat I'm stuck on you like glue somehowOoh ooh ooh oohDon't want to feel so cold insideI want to feel the warmth that I feel with you, all the timeSurrounding me just like the windCause you're the one who makes me sing... Help me find myself, like how I found youOoh ooh ooh oohI need you so we can live happily tooOoh ooh ooh oohI just want youuu I want to go out with you tonight, A picnic with candlelightI might just hold you tightTell me you wanna be my queenIf not, it's ok, a princess seems just my typeI promise I'll be there tonightI wanna keep you warm in winter's whiteAnd in the summer, walks on a beach sound niceI need you nowTo talk with on the phone for hours at a timeBaby, I just want you to be mine, all mineHelp me find myself, like how I found youOoh ooh ooh oohI need you so we can live happily tooOoh ooh ooh oohI just want you...

Help me find myself, like how I found youOoh ooh ooh oohI need you so we can live happily, tooOoh ooh ooh oohI Just Want You

Nakangiti lang siya habang kumakanta at tumutugtog ako ng ukelele. 

Pinagmamasdan niya lang ako. Grabe, napakaganda niya! Para ngang tinutunaw ang puso ko sa bawat tingin niya sa akin.

"Favorite ko 'yan, teka, bakit mo ako kinantahan?" wala pa rin talaga siyang ideya sa nangyayari ngayon.

"May gusto kasi akong malaman, Mojow," naku! Grabe ang tibok ng puso ko! Ngayon lang ako kinabahan ng ganito dahil sa babae, grabe!

"Ano ba 'yon?" nakatitig kami ngayon sa isa't isa, 'yong mga mata niya halatang naghihintay sa sagot ko.

"Ayon oh," turo ko sa papalapit na yate na may nakasabit na banner at may nakasulat na...

"MOJOW, PUWEDE BA KITANG LIGAWAN?" Naalala ko tuloy ang usapan namin kanina ni Meg at Rie.

"Girls, alam kong hindi pa tayo masyadong close pero puwede bang humingi ng favor?" tanong ko.

"Ah, close na tayo, niligtas mo kaya kami," ngumiti pa si Meg pagkasabi noon.

"Ano ba 'yon? Anything," sabi naman ni Rie.

"Magpo-propose na kasi ako sa sistar n'yo mamaya, kung puwede na akong manligaw," nakita ko agad sa mukha nila ang excitement.

"What? Really? Wow," sabi ni Meg.

"Oo, sana nga maging successful," kailangan ko kasi talaga ang tulong nila.

"What can we do to help you?" tanong ni Rie.

"Ah, may yate ba kayo Rie?" may maganda kasi akong plano.

"Meron, why?" napapaisip siya malamang kung bakit ko nga ba tinatanong.
