Heartbeat Tune

Prologue

Nagmamadali ako sa pag-uwi galing law school para makahabol sa concert nila. May test pa ako bukas pero nakapag-advance study naman na ako. Halos takbuhin ko na ang daan galing sa paaralan ko papunta sa apartment. Buti na lang at halos sampung minuto lamang ang layo nito.

Agad kong ibinagsak ang aking bag sa sofa at tsaka naghalughog ng kahit anong dress. Ang pangit naman kasi kung nakapag coat and tie ako habang nanonood ng concert nila.

Today is our anniversary. Three years na kami ngayon, and I couldn't missed the chance to not watch him.

Sabi nila, may sumpa daw ang tatlong taon. There are different couples who failed to passed it. Well, I don't believe it. I believe that it depends on the relationship.

Do you want to work it out? Do you want it to last? Can you see your partner in your future?

"Taxi!" Agad akong pumara ng taxi para makasakay agad. "Sa may araneta po." I said as I put some powder and tint on my face.

Hindi ko pinangarap maging non-showbiz girlfriend. Heck, relationships are my worst nightmare. I had two failed relationships, and the last one drained me a lot.

My last relationship taught me to not give it all. It was so draining, to the point that I no longer have the strength to entertain guys. It was so draining, that I found myself not eating nor sleeping for days, right after the break up. It was so draining to beg, and seek for answers, as to why we broke up.

Nakakapagod din palang maging tanga. After that relationship, I found myself working extra hard for myself.

Sabi nila, there are three types of love: the puppy love, the greatest love, and the true love.

Pakiramdam ko, ang true love ko ay mahahanap ko sa sarili ko. Not until he came.

"Excuse me!"

Nakipagsiksikan ako sa dagsa ng mga tao. This is a PPOP concert. Hindi na nakapagtataka ang dagsa ng tao dahil sama-sama lang namang magpeperform ang PPOP groups.

"VIP po", I smiled at the bouncer before he let me enter the backstage. Gustuhin ko man pumasok sa room niya ay hindi ko na ginawa dahil paniguradong inaayusan siya ngayon.

I scanned the whole arena, only to see it full of people. Hinanap ko na ang aking upuan na nasa VVIP seat. My boyfriend gave me the ticket. Buti na lang, dahil mas gugustuhin kong idagdag 'to sa pambayad ko sa tuition fee kaysa ipanood dito.

I mean, I really want to, yet I have my own priorities. Hindi biro ang expenses sa law school.

Napapikit ako ng marinig ang napakalakas na sigawan ng mga tao. I can even see some who are crying on their seats.

Napahiyaw na rin ako ng makita ko ang aking boyfriend. We decided to have a private relationship because of his career.  Masyado rin akong pribadong tao kaya ayos lamang sa akin iyon.

We'd rather have our relationship as private, but is not a secret. Hindi naman namin kailangang ipaalam sa lahat kung anong meron kami. We do not want to give other people an access on what we have. Sometimes, giving them an access means allowing them to destroy what we have, and what we could have.

Napangiti ako as I heard his fans screaming his name. He worked really hard for this, and it feels so nice to witness his hardworks, now paying off.

I felt so proud as I watched him appear on the stage. Hindi ko alam kung nakikita niya ba ako, dahil napakarami talagang tao ngayon, at abala din siya sa pagpeperform.

Buong concert ay sa kanya lamang ako nakatutok. Don't get me wrong, I'm also a big fan of SB19 and BINI. Sadyang ngayon ay siya lamang ang dinayo ko rito.
