Naagaw ng tumutugtog na banda ang atensyon ko. The melody of the playing song was very nice. Calming. Napatingin naman ako sa katabi ko nang mapansing doon din ang atensyon niya..
(PLAYING: Heartbeat by BTS)
It leaves me feeling seasick, baby
Seems like I am locked deep in the dreamlike reality
It spins me 'round and drives me crazy
It seems that I’m like the moon that rose at noon
Si Timothy iyong kumakanta, Vocalist ng The Boyz. This band is now famous nationally pero dito pa rin sila tumutugtog sa restaurant ni Aire.
Napatingin ako kay Devon nang bigla niya akong akayin patayo, nagtataka naman ako sumunod sa kanya. He dragged me towards the center of the restaurant. Inilagay niya ang dalawang kamay niya sa may waist ko tsaka ako hinapit hanggang ilang dangkal nalang ang layo ng mga katawan namin..
Baliw.
"Hindi naman ata pang sayaw ng sweet ang kantang 'to, demon." Natatawang sabi ko tsaka isinukbit sa leeg niya ang mga braso ko pulling him closer..
If I was only by myself
If I didn’t know you
Maybe I’d have given up
Lost at sea
"Mahal kita, Val." Napatitig ako sa mga mata niya dahil sa sinabi niyabg iyon. A smile creeped through my lips as I gave him a peck in the lips. Ang swerte ko kasi mahal mo ako, Devon.
But my heart’s still on fire
With a burning desire
Gonna get you back like it’s destined
Napangiti ako dahil sa lyrics ng kanta. My heart is on fire indeed. Dahil sa lalaking nasa harap ko ngayon, iyon.
"Look at Zander." Nabaling naman kay Zander ang atensyon ko. Kasayaw niya ngayon si Guia na natatawa lang dahil sa kalokohan ng asawa niya. Geez, ang landi pa rin talaga ni Zander. May binubulong pa ang baliw habang isinasayaw ang asawa niya. Nakatalikod kasi si Guia mula sa kanya habang nakayakap ang mga braso niya dito.
"Yeah.. mukhang malandi pa rin." I stated making him chuckle.
I wish that you would love (love) me (me)
Just like yesterday, don’t let go of this hand ever again
And every time my heart (heart) beats (beats)
Match your steps so you don’t wander around ever again
Napatitig ako kay Devon nang sabayan niya ang kanta. Devon' not the singing type of person but he can sing, hindi namang siya mago-gong kung sasali sya sa tawag ng tanghalan.
"You know this song?" I asked him.
I feel destiny in you you you you you
I feel destiny in me me me me me
"I heard it several times.. my heart knows it." Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. Ang drama niya talaga.
"Why are you being so sweet?"
When you hear my heartbeat, baby
You give me a new life, you give me a new birth
I feel your heart beat away
I been losing my mind
I been cravin’ my shine
I know me before you was a ready-made me
But you designate me and you resumed me
I been calling your name in this universe
(Now I need no space)
I got youniverse, done
"Do I need a reason? Hindi pa ba sapat yung, mahal kita?" My heart skipped a beat because of what he said. How can he easily make my heart beat abnormally? Ang lakas ng alindog ng demonyong 'to.
Coming across you is like a TV drama created by the universe
So many wanderings, being lost endlessly
It was you who led me through the labyrinth
You’re my light and salvation
The rain is coming close to an end and I won’t let go of your hand
"Mahal din kita. Mahal na mahal kita." Isinandal ko ang ulo ko sa dibdib niya. Napangiti ako nang marinig ko ang mabilis na pagtibok ng puso niya. Good. Mabuti nang fair kaming dalawa.
I wish that you would love (love) me (me)
Just like yesterday, don’t let go of this hand ever again
And every time my heart (heart) beats (beats)
Match your steps so you don’t wander around ever again
"I still can't help but wonder what would have happened if I didn't tolerate Guia's action." Bahagya akong dumistansya kay Devon dahil sa sinabi niya. His eyes were sad as he look at me..
Ako rin naman eh...
Ano kaya ang nangyari sa amin kung hindi sila umalis? Magiging masaya kaya kami? Magla-last?
I feel the destiny in you you you you you
Feel destiny in me me me me me
I feel the destiny in you you you you you
Feel destiny in me me me me me
"I bet you're already my wife now." Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. Ang kapal ah.
"Confident much?" Natatawang sabi ko na ikinanguso niya pa. Hahaha.
"Hey, mahal kaya kita. I worship the ground you walk in. Kaya nga pinagbutihan ko na matapos sa law school ng may magandang reputation at grades eh, para hindi ako mapahiya sayo." He worship the what? Bakit ba siya nagkakaganito? Hahaha, this man is so cute.
My heart’s on fire for your love
Oh, my heart’s on fire for your love
"Paano nasama dun na magiging asawa mo ako?" Natatawang sabi ko sa kanya.
"Kasi nga sinasamba kita. Mahal kita at hindi kita papakawalan kaya siguro, ganun nga ang nangyari." Napaisip rin naman ako sa sinabi niya. Siguro nga.
I wish that you would love (love) me (me)
Just like yesterday, don’t let go of this hand ever again
And every time my heart (heart) beats (beats)
Match your steps so you don’t wander around ever again
"Val.." napatingala ako kay Devon nang tawagin niya ang pangalan ko.
"Hmmm?"
"Thank you.."
"Thank you? Why are you thanking me?" Takang tanong ko pa sa kanya.
"For accepting me again.. for letting me in your life again.." napangiti ako dahil sa sinabi niya..
Ever since I discovered that I have HCM, hindi ko na pinangarap pa ang ganito. Tinanggal sa isip ko ang ideya ng pagmamahal dahil alam kong sa huli ay ako rin naman ang masasaktan.. ang mahihirapan but now.. with Devon.. hindi ko na alam.. masyado ko siyang mahal para hindi tanggapin ulit...
"Dev?" Ako naman ang tumawag sa pangalan niya...
"Yes?"
"Mahal kita."
I feel the destiny in you you you you you
Feel destiny in me me me me me
I feel the destiny in you you you you you
Feel destiny in me me me me me
We stopped moving.. nakatayo lang kaming dalawa habang nakatitig sa mga mata ng isa't isa. His hands still on my waist, mine still wrapped around his neck.. it felt like we are the only ones existing. Tanging ako at siya at ang himig ng kantang nagdudugtong sa mga damdamin naming dalawa.
Siguro nga, Devon is my destiny... I feel the destiny in him... it feels like my heart’s on fire.. with a burning desire.. and I have to do everything.. I gotta get him back like it’s destined..
"Mas mahal kita..."
It only felt like a heartbeat when I felt his lips on mine...
And we ruled the night.. the two of us.. with only the four corners of his room as witnesses of our love ignite...
We danced to the rythm of love..
10 - Heartbeat~
