Kaya ang maisip na mayroong kakaiba kina Comet at Sahri ay talagang... nakakatakot. And what will happen to their band if there's something really going on with them?
Lalo akong kinabahan. If they're cheating on Casimir, there's a possibility that their band will fall apart. At kapag nangyari iyon...
Nanlamig ako sa naisip. What will happen to Cohen? To his future? I gripped the paper tightly as I thought about it. I can't just let them ruin Cohen's dream and future like that.
Those fools...
No. I shouldn't think of them like this. I'm probably just overthinking things. And Casimir isn't stupid. If something is up, for sure matutunugan niya iyon. Right!
Pilit kong kinalimutan ang masasamang naisip. Kaya naman masaya ako nang makatungtong sa bar kasama si Grecia.
Maingay. Makapal ang usok at matataas ang energy ng mga tao. I can't help but get hyped up! This is what I wanted! A loud and feral crowd!
"We're with the Spheroid Chambers. I heard Cohen reserved a table for us," bungad ko sa isa sa mga staff.
"Oh! This way, Ma'am." Aniya at iginiya kami sa pang maramihang lamesa.
Kanina pa nagsimula sina Cohen. I have no choice but to wait for Grecia since ang dami niyang inasikaso. But I'm glad we made it.
The whole crowd was wild while banging their heads. Grecia ordered drinks while I was watching the band on stage.
I seized a shot of tequila and looked back at the stage. Ngumisi ako nang mamataan si Casimir na seryosong nakatayo habang nakasabit sa kaniya ang kulay itim na gitara. Magulo ang kaniyang buhok at malamig na nakatingin sa mga taong nanonood sa kanila.
If he continues to be like that, I don't think he'll gain fans. He must be approachable if he's going to enter this kind of industry. His cold and arrogant facade will just pull him down, if ever.
"Casimir looks so fine," lumabas iyon sa bibig ko.
"You like him?"
Nilingon ko si Grecia. She's looking at me with a grin on her lips. I smirked and drank my shot as I turned back to Casimir. I licked the excess tequila from my lips.
"No. I like his looks; that's it."
Kinagat ko ang aking labi nang marinig ko ang tunog ng electric guitar. The bass guitar added a profound sound. Muli akong lumagok at pinanatili ang titig kay Casimir na seryosong pinipitik ang kaniyang daliri habang malalim na nakatitig sa mga tao sa harapan niya.
Watching him pluck his guitar, its electric sounds, and the wild screams of people brought me nostalgia. Kumurap ako at natulala sa kaniya. His fluid movements and the sounds he makes remind me of someone.
My eyes probably tricked me. Kinurap ko ulit ang mga iyon nang biglang sumulpot ang pigura ni Fadia sa aking harapan, hawak ang kaniyang gitara.
Pawis na sila, siguro dahil kanina pa sila tumutugtog. The crowd is feral, mukhang may tama na rin ang karamihan. Muli akong uminom ng magkasunod na shots. Cohen started thrashing his sticks ferociously against the drums. His bass drum complemented the electronic and bass-heavy tones of the electric and bass guitars.
"Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine. . . "
