31. Daniella

What? Ano kami mag-asawa?

"Ang weird naman nun, Bryan!"

Naglalakad na kami nun from the parking lot papunta sa classroom. Bigla ba namang bumulong malapit sa tenga ko! Naramdaman ko yung hininga niya., nakiliti ako.

"If you want this fake relationship to work, we need to do our best to act like couples. Let's start with this, okay, wifey?"

Pagkadiin-diin pa niya yung wifey. "Oo na...hubby."

"Good." Ngumiti siya at kinuha yung kamay ko. "Do we still need to hold hands?"

"Of course. Remember, we're lovers. And lovers show intimacy to each other. Nasa contract yan, di ba?"

"Oo na, hubby."

Inemphasize ko yung hubby para di na niya ako lektyuran. Ngumiti naman siya na parang nanalo sa lotto. Napatulala naman ako. Di pa rin ako sanay, ano ba yan.

Pagdating sa classroom, nothing unusual happened naman. Andie is still pissed off with me, well, ganun din naman ako sa kanya. PDA pa rin sina Erick and Allison pero wala na akong pakialam. Hindi na rin naman ako bina-badtrip ni Allison. Siguro napagod na rin siya sa pang-aaway sa akin. Ano pa ba naman kasi ang gusto niya, no? Hinayaan ko na nga lang si Erick sa kanya.

Ang pinaka-importante sa ngayon, sa tingin ko, naka-move on na ako.

"Daniella, ang ganda ng article mo about Bryan!" "Oo nga! Siguro sa interview kayo nagka-developan." Hindi ko na lang uli pinansin yung classmates naming

nang-aasar. Pagkarating ng teacher namin sa Math, nagpa-surprise quiz. Ayun, naka-3/10 ako. Allergic talaga ako sa numbers, e. Samantalang si Bryan, naka-perfect score.

"Galing ko, no, wifey?" Ngumiti siya pagkatapos at naghintay ng isasagot ko.

Geez, di ako magaling umakting gaya niya! Nagkunwari akong kinikilig. "Oo nga, hubby! I'm so proud of you!"

"Thanks, wifey. Don't worry, itu-tutor na lang kita," sabi niya sabay kindat.

Siyempre narinig yun ng classmate namin kaya tinukso na naman kami. Pero yun naman talaga ang gustong mangyari ni Bryan. Para maniwala na ang lahat na kami na talaga.

After ng Math class, Music na. Ngayon nga pala yung performance namin.

"Good morning! I'm expecting that all of you prepared something for today. I'll be picking the first three pairs. I wish all of you good luck!"

Unfortunately, kasama kami ni Bryan sa first three pairs. Lagot! Di kami ready! Humarap ako sa kanya para kausapin siya.

"Hubby..."

"Yes, wifey?" Nag-lean forward siya palapit sa akin. "Anong kakantahin natin? Wala tayong na-practice." Kabado ako, baka bumagsak kami sa activity na 'to. Tapos naalala ko na si Bryan "The Total Performer"

Lim nga pala ang partner. Medyo nakahinga ako nang maluwag.

"Let's just sing one of my songs."

"Hindi mo ako fan. I don't know any of your songs." Parang na-hurt siya sa sinabi ko kasi hindi siya

nakapagsalita agad. Tapos bigla na lang siyang lumayo. Totoo naman yun, a! Masama bang magsabi ng

totoo?

"Bryan?"

Di siya tumitingin sa akin.

"Bryan naman, e. Pansinin mo naman ako." Wala pa rin.

"Uy..."

Wala yatang balak si Bryan na pansinin ako kahit anong gawin ko. Yung ibang classmates ko natatawa na. Yung isa nagtaas pa ng notebook na may nakasulat na "LQ?" Ganun ba talaga ka-hurtful yung sinabi ko?

"Bryan, pansinin mo naman ako, o. Sige na, kakanta na tayo ng song mo."

Parang alam ko na kung anong gusto niyang marinig. Okay, breathe in, breathe out. Kaya ko 'to.

"Hubby...sorry na, hindi na mauulit. Kausapin mo

na ako, please..."

Bigla siyang lumingon sa'kin at hinawakan yung kamay ko saka niya kiniss.

"Okay lang yun, wifey."

React naman nang sobra yung classmates namin. Yung isa napasigaw pa sa kilig!

Sabi na gusto lang nitong mang-asar, e!

"Kainis ka, alam mo yun?" bulong ko sa kanya. Tumawa lang siya nang mahina.

"Kantahin na lang natin yung alam natin pareho. Ano masa-suggest mo?"

"Alam mo ba yung song na 'I'll Be'?" "Favorite ko yun."

"Favorite ko rin yun!"

Pareho kami ng favorite song?

"Yun na lang kantahin natin."

"Sige! Okay ako dyan! Maggi-gitara ka?"

"Yup. Teka, akala ko ba hindi kita fan? Bakit alam mong naggigitara ako?"

"Di ba nga nagpunta ako sa mall show mo?"

"Sus, kunwari ka pa. If I know, you're stalking me pretty much like those girls who are obsessed with me."

Hindi na ako sumagot, inirapan ko na lang siya. Hindi na kami nag-practice kasi alam naman naming pareho yung song. First pair sina Stephen and Ashley. Kinanta nila yung "Awake" ng Secondhand Serenade.

Kahit laging nag-aasaran yung dalawa may chemistry sila. Nagpalakpakan lahat pagkatapos nilang mag-perform.

"Second pair will be Daniella and Bryan." Sabay kaming tumayo at pumunta sa harapan. "We'll be singing 'I'll Be' by Edwin McCain."

Hindi pa kami kumakanta pero nagpalakpakan na sila. Lalo tuloy akong na-pressure. Buti pa 'tong si Bryan sanay na. Tumingin siya sa'kin at nagsimulang mag-strum.

"The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful Stop me and steal my breath

And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky

Never revealing their depth..."

Ba't ba siya tingin nang tingin sa akin? Nako-conscious ako!

"And tell me that we belong together Dress it up with the trappings of love I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above..."

Ngumiti naman siya.

Ang hirap kumanta juskopo!

"And I'll be your cryin' shoulder I'll be love suicide

And I'll be better when I'm older I'll be the greatest fan of your life..."

Medyo yumuko ako. Naiilang ako sa pagsulyap-sulyap niya sa akin.

"And rain falls angry on the tin roof As we lie awake in my bed

And you're my survival, you're my living proof My love is alive, and not dead.

And tell me that we belong together Dress it up with the trappings of love I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder

I'll be love suicide

And I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life..."

Iniharap niya ako sa kanya and held my head up to meet his eyes.

And I dropped out, I burned up

I fought my way back from the dead

I tuned in, I turned on

Remembered the things that you said.

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder

I'll be love suicide

And I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life..."

May standing ovation pagkatapos ng performance namin! Na-proud naman ako bigla. Pati si Ms. Linares nakita kong pumalakpak.

"You did great. I didn't know you can sing that well." Nag-blush naman ako sa sinabi niya. I just smiled at him. "Last pair to perform today will be Erick and Allison." Napansin agad ni Bryan na nag-iba yung mood ko. "Hey, wag mo na lang silang pansinin."

I'm trying my best naman. Pero di pa rin maiiwasan to feel bad, disappointed, betrayed.

"We'll sing Miserable At Best by Mayday Parade." Pinapatamaan ba ako nito? Hay. Hindi na ako nasasaktan

gaya ng dati pero nakakaramdam pa rin ng panghihinayang. Pero tanggap ko nang wala na kami at hindi na yun maibabalik.

Mahirap mag-let go pero kailangang kayanin. And I know, I'm getting there.
