Land and Sea (GxG) 💍

LAS 22

Ilang minuto ng makaalis na sila Sea ay lumabas narin ako ng garden. And up until now ay naguguluhan parin ako sa biglaan paghihiwalay nina si Sea at
Faerie, tsaka sa kaarawan ko pa talaga.

Pero ang hindi talaga maalis sa isip ko ay ang kung sino ang taong minamahal ngayon ni Sea- ang taong dahilan kung bakit sila nagkahiwalay ni Faerie.

Sea's really a mysterious one. Hindi mo talaga malalaman kung ano ang tumatakbo sa isip niya.

"Oh? andito ka lang pala." Nagulat naman ako ng biglang tinapik ni Bernadeth ang aking balikat. "Sorry, nagulat ba kita?" Hingi naman agad nito ng tawad ng makita ang reaksyon ko.

Umiling ako tsaka ngumiti, "No, it's fine." Sigurado ko dito. "Are you looking for me?" I asked and then she nodded.

"Well, you're gonna sing a song to us tonight, since it's your birthday." Maligalig nitong bigkas at kinindatan pa ako.

Ako naman ay nakanganga'ng nakatingin sa kanya at hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi nito.

Hindi ako kumakanta sa harap ng maraming tao. And my voice is not that good to hear.

Nagtataka naman akong napatitig kay Bernadeth ng tumawa ito at tinapik-tapik pa ang balikat ko. "We know damn well cous' that you have a good voice." She winked. "Hmm.. Not so good like Andrea, but tolerable naman."

Napairap naman ako ng wala sa oras sa sinabi nito. Napaka supportive talaga.

"Hey, we've been looking for you." I heard Ate Scarlette's voice naman this time.

Napatingin agad kami ni Bernadeth sa kanya.

"Found her first." Bernadeth grinned at Ate Scarlet and winked that made Ate Scarlette's rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Whatever." Asar naman na bigkas ni Ate.

You see, Bernadeth and Ate are not really that closed sinced Bernadeth stole Ate's first kissed before.

Tsaka si Bernadeth lang ata nakakapikon kay Ate Scar, eh. And oh, Ate Melly, too.

Napatawa naman si Bernadeth dahil nahahalata na nitong napipikon na si Ate, "Kung hindi ka lang talaga kasal, baka ni-rape na kita." Straight forward na sabi ni Bernadeth bago binigyan ng isang kindat si Ate.

Napailing naman ako at pinipigilan ang ngumiti.

"Kung hindi lang kita pinsan matagal na kitang pinatay." Sagot naman agad ni Ate Scar na may kasamang sarkastikong ngiti.

Napahalakhak naman si Bernadeth at mas lalo pang lumapit kay Ate Scar. Todo naman din ang pag-atras ni Ate Scar kay Bernadeth dahil sobrang lapit na nito sa kanya.

"You love me." Bernadeth said grinning. "And i love you too, cous'." She added and give Ate Scar a quick kiss in the lips before running away from us.

"BERNADETH!!!!" Inis na tawag ni Ate sa pangalan nito habang pumapadyak-padyak pa. "I swear, I'm gonna kill you!" Dagdag pa nito.

Ako naman ay hindi na napigilan ang sariling tumawa habang hawak-hawak ang aking tiyan.

Natigil lang ako sa pagtawa ng bigla akong inakbayan ni Ate Scar, "I'm your sister, why are you laughing." She pouted.

I gave her a quick kiss on the cheeks, "I just love how Bernadeth, tease you." I said and grinned, "Your face is priceless." I added and then laughed.

Napasimangot naman si Ate Scar, "Pasalamat ka't kapatid kita at mahal kita kundi lagot ka talaga sa akin." Sabi nito bago ako hinalikan sa pisngi.

"You love me." Gaya ko sa sinabi ni Bernadeth kanina, "And I love you too, Ate Scar." Dagdag ko pa bago umalis sa pagkaka-akbay niya.

"Arrrghh! Lagot talaga sa akin ang Bernadeth na 'yan." Sigaw nito habang hinahabol ako.

Huminto ako sa pagtakbo at binelatan si Ate Scar. Mabuti nalang naka-flat shoes na ako ngayon.

"And now, let's all heard the voice of our birthday celebrant, Landielle Violet Vokisch!"

Tatakbo na sana ulit ako ng bigla nalang tinawag ng emcee ang pangalan ko. Pumalakpak naman ang lahat at may narinig pa akong sumipol-sipol.

Wala akong nagawa kundi ang maglakad papunta sa stage. Todo cheer naman ng mga kaibigan ko sa akin.

And then I saw Sea, smiling sweetly at me while clapping her hands. And somehow it made me calm.

Nang makaakyat na ako sa stage ay binigay na sa akin ng emcee ang mice at sinabi ko dito ang kantang, kakantahin ko. No'ng una nagtaka pa siya pero wala akong pakealam kung malungkot man ang kanta na aking kakantahin ngayon.

I hope that she'll realize my love for her after she heard this song.

"This is for you, Sea." I mumble to myself.

She looks at me,
I fake a smile so she won't see...
What I want, what I need,
And everything that we should be,
I'll bet she's beautiful,
That girl she talks about,
And she's got everything that I've had to live without,

I began to sing while intently looking at the nothingness. Trying to stop myself from breaking down.

She talks to me,
And I laugh 'cause it's just so funny,
That I can't even see
Anyone when she's with me,
She says she's so in love,
She's finally got it right,
I wonder if she knows she's all I think about at night,

And, then, I found myself already looking at Sea, who's also looking at me intently. Her face mood changes and I can see pain in her eyes.

She's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star,
She's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

I continue singing while still looking at Sea.

"Is she crying?" I said to myself.

She walks by me,
Can she tell that I can't breathe?
And there she goes so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be,
She better hold her tight,
Give her all her love,
Look in those beautiful eyes,
And know she's lucky 'cause,

But, Faerie's let go of Sea.

She's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star,
She's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Sea, I hope your next girlfriend will never let you go.

So I'll drive home alone,
As I turn out the light,
I'll put her picture down,
And maybe get some sleep tonight,

She's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart,
She's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

I glanced away from Sea and look up at the sky. I can already feel my tears.

She's the time taken up,
But there's never enough,
And she's all the I need to fall into,

She looks at me,
I fake a smile so she won't see..

I fake a smile to everyone and bow my head, so, that they won't notice my tears.

Pumalakpak naman ang lahat at naglakad na papunta sa direksyon ko ang emcee. Kaagad ko naman binigay ang mice sa kanya at agad din umalis.

I need to stop these tears, baka masira pa ang party at ayaw ko 'yun mangyari.

Pababa na ako ng stage ng makita ko si Faerie na nakangiting naghihintay sa akin sa baba. Nang makababa na ako ay kaagad niya akong binigyan ng mahigpit na yakap.

"Don't worry, she loves you too." Nahihimigan ko ang lungkot at kasiyahan sa boses nito.

Nagtataka man ay niyakap ko nalang rin siya pabalik.
