Nagkakasiyahan ang lahat ng nandito, at nakisali na rin sina Zen at Tres.
Limang minuto ang lumipas at bumalik na si Cleo dala ang isang case.
A guitar? No. It's too small. It's ukulele.
Is she going to play that?
Might as well listen.
Cleo
Well, dadahan dahanin ko muna. I wwnt inside to grab my ukulele and a portfolio, anong nasa portfolio?
Newspapers.
Umupo ako sa gilid ni Theo, at nakita kong napatingin sila sa akin.
I smiled at them and placed my fingers on the the fret making a G chord.

Huminga muna ako ng malalim.
Total Concentration Breathing Technique.
Breath of Sound: Fifth Form.
Symphony of Shrill Strings!
Nako, nasisiraan na naman ako ng ulo. Kagagohan mo talaga Cleo.
I started strumming the string, I'll play 'Leaving on a Jet plane.' because I'll leave them someday.
"All my bags are packed.. I'm ready to go.. I'm standin' here.. outside your door..I hate to wake.. you up to say goodbye.."
I won't be packin my bag, cause I won't need them there, but I am definitely ready to go.
I put their lives in danger, and it is my obligation to protect them. I love my family, but I'll protect innocent people at all cost. Even if it means taking my own brother's life.
"But the dawn is breakin'.. It's early morn.. The taxi's waitin'.. He's blowin' his horn.. Already.. I'm so lonesome.. I could die.."
Napamahal na rin sakin ang aking mga studyante, hindi ko naman balak mag sinungaling sa kanila, ngunit kailangan. Ngunit di naman ako nagsinungaling diba? Hindi naman sila nagtanong.
"So kiss.. me and smile for me.. Tell me that you'll wait for me.. Hold me like you'll never let me go.. 'Cause I'm leavin'.. on a jet plane.. Don't know when I'll be back again.. Oh babe, I hate to go.."
Kailangan ko na ring kumilos, hindi habambuhay ay kailangan takbuhan ang nakaraan. Maybe it's time to face it. I need to move.
By switching to G, C and D chords, I finished the song with a sine strum from G chord. It's time.
Theo
The way she sings, I could feel that she's sad, what's got in to her? Masaya naman kami kanina ah.
Tinapos na niya ang kanta at tiningnan kami isa't isa sa mga mata. That took 3 minutes. Anong nangyari sa kanya?
Napabuntong hininga naman siya at kinuha ang Portfolio sa gilid niya. Anong laman niyan?
"I need to tell you something." She said in a serious tone, it sent shivers down my spine. Oh God, she's scary.
"People aren't perfect, we all commit sins." She started. "People who have the biggest sins are those who are engage in illegal activities." Is this one of her lessons again? Why does she sound so sad and serious?
"People who commit crimes are unforgivable. What do you say?" Tiningnan niya kami sa mga mata namin tila ba naghahanap ng sagot. Walang sumagot sa amin at yumuko na lamang si Cleo.
"Matatanggap niyo ba ang isang tao kahit na isa siyang kriminal?" Tanong niya sa amin.
This time Max speak up.
"Depende sa nagawa niya. Bakit ba natin ito pinag-uusapan?" Naiiritang saad niya.
Napangiti naman si Cleo.
"Isang kriminal na kumikitil ng buhay? Matatanggap niyo ba?" Tanong niya. Ilang katanungan pa ba ang aming sasagutin?
"Murder is an unforgivable sin." Xavier answered, nakita kong nasaktan si Cleo sa narinig niya.
Teka, tama ba ang sinabi ko? Why would she get hurt?
She smiled at Xavier and said the words we didn't expect her to say.
"I'm an Assassin."
••••• Hindi naman ako magaling tumugtog kaya't pasensya na HAHA. Don't mind my nails, it's hard to clip a string if you have long nails. Don't forget to comment and vote! Thank you ❤️
