Note: Natatawa ako sa sarili ko as I copy-paste it from my samsung notes to wattpad. Hindi ko lang knows why. BEUAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Btw, hindi ko alam kung prologue bang matatawag to kasi hindi naman ako magaling sa mga writing kinemberlut. So enjoy niyo nalang ang aking alaws kwents na story.
Prologue
"Palm trees, square dancing under the moon
Sunsets, they ain't got nothing on you
And the purple in the sky ain't as pretty as your eyes
Tell me what I gotta' do
When you're with me, it's better than Malibu 🎶"
I realized that I stopped from what I am doing at natulala after I heard a song in his album that is still my favorite. It's been a year since I have heard that song of him.
"Are you okay Serene?" Hinawakan ni Mesh ang kamay kong hindi ko pansin na nanginginig na pala.
I manage to speak eventhough my throat went dry. " I-I'm fine Mesh. I just...remembered something."
"Sure ka? Baka pagod ka na ha. Pwede naman natin ituloy to bukas. Everyone's pagod na din naman." Sumang-ayon sila kay Mesh.
"Oo nga, may work ka pa din pala tomorrow. You need to rest." Segunda ni Keisha.
"Paano tong project? Wala ako bukas?" I asked, worried.
"No need to worry about it. We can handle it, Serene. Ang importante ngayon ay makapagpahinga ka." A baritone voice filled my ears as he walked past me to arrange my things and get it for me. He is Yordan, our only bestfriend who is a man. A gentleman indeed.
We already graduated from College, and the project that we are working on is an event sa orphanage wherein we feed kids and give something what makes them happy.
One of our dreams is that when we have a successful career, we should not forget helping those who are in need and give them kung ano ang nakayanan namin.
Nagligpit lang kami saglit ng mga cutted papers and stuffs na ginamit pandesign sa room.
Maybe they are right. Pagod lang ako. Hindi naman ako affected just by listening to his song diba?
What a hypocrite Serene. Tsk tsk.
"Serene, mauna na kami ha? You have your car naman." Sabi ni Yara. Everyone hugged me before we part our ways.
As I am driving towards home, nasulyapan ko pa ang malaking billboard na nakapaskil sa isa sa mga malls. His picture and with his bandmates. A drowsy eyes na parang tinatamad pang dumilat, his hair that are naturally magulo and it suits him very well, his nose that are in wedge-shape, and his glossy thin lips na parang nilagyan ng lip balm.
How I miss him so much. He is now a successful singer. I'm very proud of him.
Remembering him being so passionate about his dreams of wanting to be a successful music figure in a music industry with his bandmates, while in the process of us, sailing our love for each other. Planning things in the future. Achieving dreams together.
Well, what's most important is that he achieved his dreams naman diba? Only without me.
Uncertain things happened that lead us to where we are right now. Away from each other.
Well, he never listened to any of my explanations. He just dump me in the pits of hell. Mas pinaniwalaan niya ang mga sabi-sabi, kaysa sa girlfriend niya.
What ifs came across my mind.
What if he listened to me that time? Masaya pa rin kaya kami na magkasama? Married? Having kids?
Bumalatay sa aking puso ang kutsilyong paunti-unting tumatarak sa kaibuturan ko. Napakasakit pa din hanggang ngayon. Mahal ko pa din siya hanggang ngayon.
Hindi ko mahanap-hanap sa puso ko ang galit ko sakanya. Hindi ko kayang magalit sakanya. Sa pang iiwan niya sa akin sa ere. Bagkus, sobrang masaya pa din ako para sakanya.
I hope kung magtagpo man ang landas namin, napatawad niya na ako sa kasalanang hindi ko naman ginawa.
