Sabrina's POV
Pauwi na ako ng bahay. Maaga ang dismissal ngayon. Meeting daw kasi ng teachers for Christmas party.
Gusto ko mang gumala, ay tina-tamad ako.
Ewan ko ba...
Hanggang ngayon ay pala-isipan pa din sa akin kung sino ang boses na iyon.
Isang linggo na mula no'ng may tumawag sa akin at sa pag-aakala kong si David at hindi pala iyon.
After kong makausap si Nicole ay dali-dali kong di-nial ang phone number ni James. Alam kong siya lang ang makakatulong sa akin ngayon. Pero ring lang ito ng ring. Siguro busy siya ngayon, kaya itinigil ko na.
I never told this to anyone. I'll keep this as a secret.
We're all bored, we're all so tired of everything
We wait for trains that just aren't coming
We show off our different scarlet letters
Trust me, mind is better.
Napahinto ako nang marinig ko ang mga lyrics ni'yon.
"Hi ate." napatingin ako sa kanan ko at nakita ko si Nicole. She wave at me and so I did. Tapos lumapot siya sa akin.
"Ate puwedeng favor?"
"Sure, ano yon?"
"Puwede bang panoorin mo kaming sumayaw? Para lang sa Christmas party namin?"
"Sure..." at ngumiti siya animo'y waging-wagi. Hinila nila ako sa puwesto nila at pinaupo sa harap. At maya-maya ay nagsimula na si lang sumayaw.
So, dito sila sasayaw? Sa likod ng restaurant nila David? Pero kabog... Yong dating karinderia, restaurant na ngayon. Business nga naman.
December 1 na kasi ngayon at December 13 ay Christmas party nila. Haays. Ilang days na lang pasko na. Ilang days na lang din ay bagong taon na.
And here we are... Stock at the wrong time. We're everything is ruined. I don't even know how to answer all of that.
Where does Edwin ang Pogs hide by now? What's the reason of Edwin's gone like a blur? Who snatched David's phone? And who is the caller of David's cellphone that called me?
I don't know how to answer all of that.
Only Edwin has the answer of all my questions.
And I know, Edwin has a secret on me.
We're so young, but we're on the road to ruin
We played dumb but we know exactly what we're doing
We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom
Honey, life is just a classroom.
Napabaling sa kanila ang atensyon ko. Oo nga pala, suma-sayaw sila. Pero sa lahat ba naman ng kanta? Ayan pa?
Tss. I want to forget everything I did. We did in Pangasinan.
Cause baby, I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day is like a battle
But every night iwith us is like a dream
Baby we're the new romantics
Come on, come along with me
Heatbreak is the national anthem
We sing it proudly
We are too busy dancing
Baby, we're the new romantics
The best people in life are free
Pigilan ko mang hindi alalahanin ay hindi ko magawa.
"Kamusta?", tanong niya sa akin.
"Okay naman. Ito kain nang kain pero hindi pa din tuma-taba." at natawa kaming dalawa.
We're all here, the lights and noises are blinding
We hang back, it's all in the timing
It's poker, he can't see it in my face
But I'm about to play my ace
We need love, but we all want is danger
We team up then switch sides like a record changer
The humours are terrible and cruel
But, honey, most of them are true
Napangiti ako sa kanila dahil ang ga-galing ni lang sumayaw. Lahat energetic, lahat sabay-sabay.
So come on, come along with me
The best people in life are free
"Don't worry, hindi ako lasing. I know what I'm doing."
"Para ka kasing lasing."
"Ayaw mo? Edi kay Mike ko na lang gagawin 'to."
"No! Sa'kin mo lang dapat gawin to."
Fuck? Ano bang kailangan kong gawin para kalimutan na ang lahat iyon?
Maya-maya ay by partner na silang suma-sayaw. Parang slow dance, pero ganoon pa din ang kanta.
I admit, I miss those times. And I miss this song.
And I suddenly smiled. I heard the lyrics when I kissed David.
Please take my hand and
Please take me dancing and
Please leave me stranded
It's so romantic
My smile slowly fading. Because I saw David walking towards to our direction.
Maybe, because Nicole is here.
Okay... Stop na maging assumera Sabrina!
Maya-maya ay umupo siya sa tabi ko pero ilang inches naman ang layo. Walang nagsasalita sa amin dalawa.
The best people in life are free...
Natapos ang sayaw nila kaya tumayo na din ako.
"Okay naman ang sayaw. Una na ako ah. I want to sleep." pagdadahilan ko.
"Thank you ate ah." sagot naman ni Nicole kaya ngumiti na lang ako.
Nang makalagpas ako kay David ay may humigit sa kamay ko. Tiningnan ko naman kung sino iyon at si... David.
I look at him with a blank space.
"Ayyie!", rinig kong sigawan nilang lahat.
"Can we talk?", he asked me.
Tiningnan ko lang ang kamay naming magka-hawak.
Noon, ang lakas ng tibok ng puso ko kapag hinahawakan niya ang kamay ko. Pero ngayon... Wala na...
"I don't want to." sabi ko at unti-unti niyang binitawan ang kamay ko. Kaya tumalikod na ako at naglakad paalis.
Hindi na tayo tulad ng dati, David. Everything has changed.
