I'm with Professor Mckinley right now, having our dinner in a Restaurant where we used to eat ni Miss Natalia. Yung Restaurant na gold ang mga pagkain.
"Do you like the food?" Nakangiting tanong sa akin ni Dacey. Well, she told me to call her by her name when we're outside the University.
"Yes." Maikling sagot ko and smiled back at her.
Nagku-kwentuhan kami ng malandas ang mga mata nito sa labi ko. She's looking at me seductively at tumayo. Nilandas ang mahabang kamay nito sa gilid ng labi ko at may pinunasan na kung ano gamit ang kamay nito.
"There's something sa gilid ng lips mo." She said sabay dila ng daliring pinunas sa gilid ng labi ko. She seductively licked it for pete's sake. Is she trying to seduce me?!
Napangiwi naman ako sa ginawa nito pero hindi iyon ipinakita sa kaniya.
She was about to speak when someone spoke from the stage. Nagpi-prepare sila and I guess may pa-live band again just like the last time we came here.
"Good evening, folks!" Masiglang bati ng vocalist nila at malawak na nakangiti. Napunta naman ang atensyon ng lahat sa kanila. "We would like to ask for a volunteer to sing here on stage." Dagdag pa nito.
Lumingalinga naman ako kung may nagtaas ba ng kamay or tumayo pero wala. Kaya laking gulat ko ng marinig ang babaeng-babae na boses nitong kasama ko and even raised her hand para makuha ang atensyon ng vocalist.
Nagningning naman ang mata ng vocalist ng ginawa iyon ni Dacey. Gosh! Kakanta ba siya? Hmm, let's see.
Nilapitan ito ng vocalist na malawak ang ngiti at inilahad ang kaniyang kamay upang patayuin sana ang kasama ko pero gayun na lamang ang gulat ko ng magsalita ulit ito.
"I actually don't sing, but this girl I am with can." Nanlaki naman agad ang mata ko sa narinig. What the fck?!
I mouthed her 'seriously' pero sassy na tumawa lang ito and even cheered for me. Oh, ghad. Ano ba itong mga pinanggagawa ko.
Wala akong nagawa at tumayo na lang at kinuha ang mic na nasa kamay nung vocalist at natutuwang iginaya ako sa harap.
Nag-usap naman kami ng banda niya kung anong kakantahin ko. Nag-isip muna ako ng gusto kong kantahin at napangiti ng maalala ang isang kantang labis na nagpapasaya sa puso ko. It's my parent's wedding song.
They started the beat and I took the opportunity to speak a small message, hehe.
"I actually wanna sing a sad song but who am I to ruin the beautiful night you have guys." Panimula ko habang nagbe-beat pa rin sila. "This song is for everyone. Stay in love, gals!"
Before I started singing, Dacey shouted something na ikinakaba ng dibdib ko for no reason.
"Go, babe! Make me proud and you'll have your price later!" She shouted na ikinagulo ng mga tao sa loob. Puro tili ang naririnig ko mula sa tao at may iba pang nanunukso. I smiled awkwardly.
Shuta! Nakakahiya! Ano iyon?!
Before I give an attitude ay pilit na ngumiti na lamang ako and started singing.
I fixed myself and roam my eyes on everyone who's here. But got stuck on someone who's sexily sitting and coldly staring at where I am. Our eyes were locked at each other. It's kinda weird but she's the only person I can see right now.
"I get lost in your eyes,
and I feel my spirits rise..."
Panimula ko and looked at her eyes that reminds me of my home---my everything.
"And soar like the wind.
Is it love that I am in?"
I continued as I stare at her beautiful eyes. Not knowing what I am doing right now. Not even shocked seeing her here right now.
"I get weak in a glance,
isn't this what's called romance?"
I felt my toes getting jelly of the way she look at me. Her eyes were conveying something I can't understand.
"And now I know,
'cause when I'm lost I can let go."
I remember the first time we met. I mentally laughed. Our first meeting wasn't good that she even cussed at me and called me pervert kahit na nagmagandang loob lang naman ako.
"I don't mind not knowing,
what I'm heading for,
you can take me to the skies,
it's like being lost in heaven..."
This is the exact words to tell to myself before. That day I realize I am slowly falling for her not minding how will I end up. Taking the opportunity to be with her even just as her FUBU. I was that desperate before.
"When I'm lost in your eyes."
I continued as I hold my emotions right now. It's kinda weird for feeling this way. I should not be feeling this way. I should not be reminiscing the past. It's over. I already had Tine and she already moved on.
"I just fell, don't know why,
something's there we can't deny.
And when I first knew,
was when I first looked at you."
Here I go again. Reminiscing the past when my eyes landed on her. On how the cold drink landed on my skin, and the crazy butterflies I felt that time. The way her eyes met mine felt so magical. But then interrupted my thoughts when she cussed at me. Isang napakalutong na mura ang nakapagpagising sa akin mula sa napakalalim na pag-iisip. I mentally laughed again of that memory of hers in my mind. I don't even know what I am saying right now.
"And if I can't find my way,
if salvation is worlds away,
Of, I'll be found,
when I am lost in your eyes."
Yes, I was once lost. But found in someone's eyes---Tine's.
"Oh...I don't mind not knowing,
what I'm heading for.
You can take me to the skies,
it's like being lost in heaven.
When I'm lost in your eyes."
Not minding others. My eyes focuses on yours just like you do.
"I get weak in a glance,
isn't this what's called romance?
Oh, I'll be found in your eyes.
Oh, oh."
I felt a tingling sensation when I caught her smiled but vanished right away and just simply clapped normally.
Wearing her poker face, sexily sitting on her seat, clapping her hands, sternly looking at me. As I felt my heart beating loudly for I don't know why.
This feeling is kinda weird. So weird.
Nang matapos akong kumanta ay siyang malalakas na palakpakan ang aking natanggap mula sa mga manonood. They thanked and so I did at bumaba na sa stage at dumiretso sa kinauupuan namin.
Agad na lumapit sa akin si Miss Mckinley and looked me in the eye seductively while biting her long finger.
"I didn't know you can sing that well, baby." She seductively utter.
Inilayo ko naman ang mukha ko sa papalapit nitong mukha bago pa may mangyaring hindi maganda. Yeah, I know. Dacey is beautiful, but it's still Tine. It will always be Tine. No one can replace her in my heart.
