Endless Tears in Every Heartache [Completed:2016 ]

Chapter Thirty- One

Pinagpapawisan ang palad ko habang nakaupo kami ni Ivan sa isang convertible vintage car for our opening production.

They start counting  from 60 seconds same time that I could actually hear They're cheering and  they're shouting our names. "Don't be nervous. It's not like it's actually our first time." Ivan held my hand and the platform where the convertible vintage car is place goes up on the stage. "Happy Birthday" and that made me smile.

People started screaming louder. Hindi magkamaway ang mga tao when the band, the background music and the back up dancers started their roles for the concert.  Inayos ko ng kaunti ang earphones sa tainga ko bago kantahin ang first line ng kanta.

"You're on the phone with your girlfriend
She's upset, she's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do." Tumingin ako kay Ivan habang medyo sumasayaw ng kaunti kasabay ng background music.

"I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night.
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like.
And she'll never know your story like I do." Timingin ako sa audience bago ako umalis sa vintage car na iyon. Itinutok ko ang microphone sa kanila at tsaka nila sinabayan ang kanta.

"But she wears short skirts
I wear T-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time." Sinayaw ko ang step para sa part na ito kasama ang back up dancers. Naramdaman kong umalis na rin sa vintage car si Ivan. At sinimulan nang kantahin ang next lines ng kanta.

"If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you.
Been here all along.
So, why can't you see
You belong with me,
You belong with me."

Mas lalong lumakas ang hiyawan ng mga tao. Namatay lahat ng ilaw and they started waving their light Sticks, habang ang spotlight ay nakatutok na sa aming dalawa ni Ivan.

"Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be.
Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself,
"Hey, isn't this easy?" Naglakad ako palayo sa kanya at muli siyang nilingon habang umiiling ako.

"And you've got a smile
That could light up this whole town.
I haven't seen it in a while
Since she brought you down." He smiled at me and at the audience.

"Oh my God Ivan!!!!"

"CliVan! CliVan! CliVan!"

"We Love you Cline and Ivan!"

"You say you're fine I know you better than that.
Hey, what you doing with a girl like that?" I pointed out those girls behind him and he made a sad face.

"She wears high heels,
I wear sneakers.
She's cheer captain,
And I'm on the bleachers.
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time." We danced the step for this part and he immediately came near me.

"If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you,
Been here all along.
So, why can't you see
You belong with me." He dramatically sang this part while reaching for my face. He then held my hand and we walk towards the audience.

"Standing by and waiting at your backdoor.
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me,
You belong with me." Sabay na kaming kumanta at tsaka kami nagtitigang dalawa habang kumakanta

Instrumentals played accordingly. Naghiwalay kaming dalawa at naglakad sa magkabilang side ng stage.

"Oh, I remember you driving to my house
In the middle of the night.
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're 'bout to cry.
I know your favorite songs,
And you tell me about your dreams.
Think I know where you belong,
Think I know it's with me." He sang this part and when I heard the last line I looked at him and walk towards him.
