Pierres Noires (Black Stones) √

Chapter 35: Say What You Want

A/N: Habang ginagawa ko ang chapter na ito ay paulit-ulit na tumutugtog sa playlist ko ang "Boy In Luv" ng BTS (both Korean and Japanese version) at 'Say what you want' lang ang una kong naintindihan na English words sa kantang 'yan hahaha kaya may clue na kayo kung bakit 'yan ang chapter title. Enjoy reading!

KHAKI'S:

Pagkatapos naming kumain ni Alex at magpatunaw ng kalahating oras ay niyaya ko siyang tumambay sa may balcony.

Four years ago ay dito ko siya tinuturuan sumayaw at si Laexavier ang #1 fan namin. May idea na siguro kayo kung sino si Alexandrea 'di ba? Oo siya ang younger sister ni Alexavier Dela Merced -- my first love.

"Ate Krista natatandaan mo pa nung time na tinuturuan mo akong magsayaw? Tapos si kuya tuwang-tuwa kapag napeperfect ko 'yung steps na tinuturo mo sa'kin," sabi ni Alex habang nakatingin sa langit. Naisip nya siguro si Alexavier.

"Yup, 4 years ago pa 'yun at hindi ko alam kung nag-improve ka na ba," natatawang sabi ko sa kanya habang nakatingin sa langit. Nakikita ko na naman ang aking constellation.

Kinuha naman nya ang kanyang cellphone sa front pocket at nag-search ng kanta.

"Here. Boy In Luv by BTS," excited pang sabi nito.

"K-pop lover ka pala hahaha ako kasi more on j-pop or j-rock."

Inilapag nya sa long bench ang cellphone nya bago i-press ang play.

"Watch me ate," *winks*

A/N: English translation ng Boy In Luv ang inilagay ko para mas maintindihan nyo okie dokie?

I want to be your oppa

I'm so hungry for your love

I want to be your oppa

I'll have you, just watch

Why are you shaking up my heart? (3x)

(Dad) Just how exactly did dad ask mom out?

Should I write you a letter?

What is this? I become like dust

in front of you

You make me so angry and mad for no reason

I'm serious but you make me into a loser, who picks fights with

you

Why do I care so much about you?

You're making a big boy act like a little kid

But I'll turn things around

From just knowing each other to

becoming lovers

I'm impressed. Pang-professional na ang galaw nya at malinis ang execute ng lockings and steps. Thumbs up! Patuloy pa din ako sa panunuod sa kanya habang sumasayaw.

If it's with you, I think I can go to a good college

ABCDEFGH Hakuna Matata

Your profile picture is the same but why do I keep checking it?

But don't misunderstand, I'm not an easy guy

I'm getting nervous, I'm getting nervous

Who are you? Are you that great?

Why do you keep teasing me?

Just stop now, hold up, hold up

Hold me tight before I kiss you

Before my heart lets you go

Say what you want

Say what you want

What is it that you really want?

Twice inulit ang chorus 'ata 'yun at dahil may photographic mind ako ay nasaulo ko na agad ang steps 'dun.

Now it's my turn to dance dahil sinenyasan ako ni Alex na lumapit sa tabi at pwesto nya.

A bad bad girl on the outside

An even more bad bad girl on the side

If you lose a guy like me, you'll regret it

You checked my text message but you're not pressing send

The "1″ disappears, making me so anxious

Maybe I'll buy a GPS navigation

(Quickly quickly quickly) I keep

trying to appeal to you (trying trying trying)

Genuine feelings? (I got em)

Endurance? (I got em)

The only thing I don't have is your beauty beauty beauty

Pagdating sa chorus ay nagulat si Alex dahil 'yung steps nya ang ginamit ko. Napangiti na lang siya at nag-thumbs up.

Nagsalitan kami ng sayaw kada verse so ang nangyari ay nag-showdown kami at parehas na kami magaling magsayaw. Bukod nga pala sa pagkanta ay marunong din akong sumayaw.

Hold me tight before I kiss you

Before my heart lets you go

Say what you want

Say what you want

What is it that you really want? (2x)

* * * * *

"Wala ka pa ding kupas ate ang galing mo pa din sumayaw!" namamanghang sabi ni Alexandrea habang pumapalakpak.

"Ikaw naman ay malaki na ang improvement. I'm impressed Alex, ipagpatuloy mo 'yan."

"Yes ate ikaw 'ata ang inspirasyon ko. May dance crew ako sa States at ilang beses na kami naging champion!"

"Really? Well, congratulations!"

"Salamat sa pagtuturo mo ate kasi malaki talaga ang naitulong nun para ma-improve ko ang pagsasayaw ko."

"That's my girl!" proud kong sabi sa kanya at inakbayan ko pa siya.

* clap, clap, clap*

Napatigil lang kami sa pag-uusap ni Alex at napalingon sa kabilang bahay. So nakita nya pala ang dance showdown namin kanina?
