Note: Slight (or actually full) warning for this and the next chapter. Few months later Kumusta naman yung laging third wheel sa dates? Yung laging ngumingiti kahit deep inside nasasaktan? Ito naghahanda na para mag concert sa school. Btw March na ngayon at ip-perform na namin yung sinulat kong kanta. It was released in February pero ngayon yung first time na ip-perform siya nang live. Graduation Ball namin ngayon at ito na rin yung last time na madalas kaming magkikita. I'll miss all of them so much. Lalo na siya. "Tamago!" Napangiti naman ako sa boses na 'yon. "Oh asan yung ball date mo?" "Nag-CR muna siya saglit. By the way galingan niyo sa stage ah! See yah!" Sabay takbo niya nang pang-naruto. Some things don't change at all. "Oh Sela tara na malapit na tayo." Tawag naman sakin ni Ecka kaya naghanda na ako. Time Skip "Good Evening to everyone! I'm Jamie your emcee for the night! Let's all give it up for 48G!" At lumabas na kami and we received a round of applause. First song: Talulot ng Sakura by MNL48 We first performed this wholeheartedly kasi nakaka relate siya sa event namin ngayon. Time Skip Now playing: Sweet Memory by MACO Okay ito na. Napapikit muna ako ng mata at nagbuntong-hininga bago magsimula. Hey How long Have you been making me feel like this We understand each other It burns so much that it is unbearable Sa bawat salitang binibigkas ko (with Sheki) wala akong ibang nakikita kung hindi siya. Naaalala ko yung lahat ng pinagsamahan namin simula grade 7. Kung paano kami nagkakilala. -Flashback- "Uyyy ang galing namang maggitara!" Napatingin ako sa nagsalita nun. Seeing her ID lace, mukhang ka-batch ko rin siya. Ang cute niya, ang ganda pa. Siya yung tipong dyosa na nakasalamin. "Uyyy ate ituloy mo lang! Nood lang ako rito hehe." Ang playful niya grabe. Gusto ko siya maging ka-close. Paano kaya? "Marunong ka po kumanta?" Tanong ko sa kanya. "Errmm... medyo. Mga disney songs ganun." Uyy nays. "Sige tara rito. I See The Light." Nakita ko naman kung paano siya natuwa. Umupo rin siya sa table at nag-jamming na kami. -Back to Present- More about you You You You I want to know more about you Always Always Always My heart is in pain Hindi ko parin maalis tingin ko sa kanya. Ay hala baka mapaghalataan na ako nito. Your figure when you talk happily I stare at you quietly A love story that cannot come true Nakita ko naman si Yohan na luampit sa'yo. Hinawakan niya kamay mo at ningitian ka. Binalik mo rin naman. Dahil doon inalis ko muna paningin ko. Although, I love you so much that it feels like I am breaking From now on the two of us, we will be just friends Somehow, I wish we had not met I cannot say.... I like you, my baby A sweet memory filled with tears Oo, hanggang magkaibigan na lang talaga tayo. Mahal kita, kaya kahit nasasaktan na ako basta masaya ka susuportahan kita. Siguro itatago ko nalang 'tong nararamdaman ko sa'yo. Ah! Rather than the time to be alone I'd rather be with you Even if it's hard and painful Because I feel lonely now... A dream story that it is not allowed Kayo na ni Yohan noon. Ayaw ko sanang sumama sa mga dates niyo, pero wala mas nananaig parin kamartyran ko sa'yo. Mas gusto kong nakakasama kita. Although I love you so much that I want to cry From now on the two of us, we will be just friends I wish that we could just laugh together No way! I love you, my baby A sweet memory that disappeared into the night sky Maybe someday my wish will be fulfilled in a dream More than a friend to a lover Because I can not accept it.... Ah, I love you Although, I love you so much that it feels like I am breaking From now on the two of us, we will be just friends Somehow, I wish we had not met I cannot say.... I like you, my baby A sweet memory filled with tears Natapos na kaming magperform. Sinalubong naman kami ng mga palakpak at hiyawan. Nagsi-iyakan pa nga iba eh. Nakakarelate siguro sila. "WOW! That was a really spectacular performance! Wala ba kayong mga kamay diyan!" Ika ni Jamie habang naluluha rin. Ganun ba talaga nakakaiyak 'tong song na 'to? Pagdating namin sa backstage nag-group hug kami nila Ate Alice. "Uyyyy that was great! Ang galing niyo Sela!" Bati nila Gabb sa amin. "Ano ba kayo, magaling tayong lahat. Kung hindi tayo kumpleto wala tayong mabubuo." Sabi ko at nag group hug ulit kami. "Okay magpalit na tayo into out gowns or suits dahil rarampa tayo doon." Sabi ni Sheki na ikinatuwa namin. ———————————- Get ready for the next chapter.....
