Chapter 30 - chapter 28

Kampay! at sabay nilang itinumba ang kanilang beer na hawak. San mig apple kay Via at Pale pilsen naman kay Lander. Tumutungga sila habang pinapanood nila sa youtube ang mga sample na video presentation ng mga Miss Universe Philippines candidate noong nakaraang taon at paminsan-minsan ay ginagaya rin ito ni Via. Sa hindi malamang kadahilanan ay kung bakit ito napaka komportable sa harapan ni Lander na rumampa siya. Haist, kahit magdamagan kami tutal Sabado naman bukas, ang naibulalas ni Via sa kanyang sarili.

Wala pang alas diyes ng gabi nang biglang bumuhos ang malakas na ulan, at maya't maya pa ay kumulog na at kumidlat. Nang binuksan nila ang telebisyon ay saktong naibalita na ngayong gabi na pala darating ang isang malakas na bagyo. Oops may bagyo nga palang paparating, nawala sa isip ko kasi nga sa paghahanda ko ng pertinent papers ko for the SGOD chief position, ang salaysay ni Lander. Ako nga rin, nakalimutan ko rin kasi nga, sa pagsubmit ko ng application ko sa Binibining Pilipinas at sa pag aayos din ng requirements for attorney lll position pero atleast okay lang naman tutal nakapag grocery na tayo kanina.. At naalala na naman niya ang mga binili niyang supply na aabot sa more or less 15-18 days. Pinuntahan na muna ni Via ang kanyang storage room at kinuha doon ang kanyang generator at saktong napaandar na niya ito ng biglang nawala na ang kuryente. Ni lock na nila lahat ang pinto at itinuloy na lang nila ang kanilang pag inum sa kanyang kuwarto. Baka kasi kukulangin tayo ng gas sa generator kaya magtitipid na lang tayo ng ilaw at electric fan, tutal malamig naman na ang panahon, sabi ni Via sa kanya.. Okay, mas maganda na nga at kung okay lang sayo na makitabi na lang ako sayo sa pagtulog...ang sagot naman ni Lander sa kanya. Walang magagalit sir kaya okay na okay..ang sagot ni Via naman kay Lander.

Nang maalala ni Via na may karaoke pala siya kaya kinuha niya ito para sila'y mag sing along din. Music lover pala ako kaya pagbigyan mo na ako Doc Lander ha, ang masuyong sabi ni Via kay Lander na ngiting gwapo lang ang tugon naman nitong huli. At nagsimula na ngang itong si Via na kumanta:

Hey

You don't mean nothin' at all to me

Hey, hey

In the day, in the night

Say it right, say it all

You either got it, or you don't

You either stand, or you fall

When your will is broken

When it slips from your hand

When there's no, time for joking

There's a hole in the plan

Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me (Hey, hey)

No, you don't mean nothing at all to me (Hey, hey)

But you got what it takes to set me free (Hey, hey)

Oh, you could mean everything to me (Hey, hey)

I can't say (Say), that I'm not (Not), lost (Lost), and at fault (Fault)

I can't say (Say), that I don't (Don't), love the light (Love), and the dark

I can't say that I don't (Don't), know that I am alive

And all of what I feel (Feel) I could show (Show)

You tonight, you tonight

Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me (Hey, hey)

No, you don't mean nothing at all to me (Hey, hey)

But you got what it takes to set me free (Hey, hey)

Oh, you could mean everything to me (Hey, hey)

From my hands, I could give you, something that I made

From my mouth, I could sing you, another brick that I laid

From my body (From my body), I could show you (I could show you)

A place (A place), God knows (That only God knows)

You should know the space is holy

Do you really wanna go?

Hey, hey, hey

You don't mean nothin' at all to me

Hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

You don't mean nothin' at all to me

Hey, hey

At talaga namang namangha at wala sa loob na hinalikan nito ang kamay ni Via.. ang galing mo attorney ,meron na tayong pambato sa singing contest...ang natutuwang sabi ni Lander sa kanya. Salamat Sir pero siyempre, ikaw na rin ang kakanta para sa akin, at iniabot na nito ang mikropono kay Lander at naglagay na rin siya ng kanyang piyesa:

Hold on, to me as we go

As we roll down this unfamiliar road

And although this wave is stringing us along

Just know you're not alone

'Cause I'm going to make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear

Don't pay no mind to the demons

They fill you with fear

The trouble it might drag you down

If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you're not alone

'Cause I'm going to make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear

Don't pay no mind to the demons

They fill you with fear

The trouble it might drag you down

If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you're not alone

'Cause I'm going to make this place your home...

At itong si Via rin ang kumantyaw kay Lander...hay naku ikaw din pala sir, super galing mo rin naman palang kumanta, at hindi na siya nakapagpigil na yakapin itong si Lander at agad naman nitong tinugon ang huli... tig isang bote pa sila ng alak bago nila napagdesisyonang matulog na. Kitakits tayo sa dreamland Doc Lander...good night! bago siya humarap sa kabilang direksyon para maitago kahit papano kay Lander ang ngiting tagumpay at kilig to the bones nitong si Via...
