Chapter 1 - Prologue

Liah's POV

🎶Love

I've been on the road for hours all alone

Just to get to you

Love

Oh I could do this everyday

So come my way

"Intro pa lang, alam mo nang para sa'yo," saad ni Julia. I looked at her in disbelief. Masyado siyang nilamon ng mga kung ano anong storya na naririnig sa paligid.

Say a prayer

Say a prayer before I turn off the lights

Get undressed

Get undressed, there ain't no reason to hide

'Coz not everybody's obsessed with a body

I'm up for the beauty and light from within

You have me already, this ain't ordinary

My hands get unsteady everytime you let me in. 🎶

While singing, I noticed that he seemed to be searching for someone in the crowd, and it stopped when his gaze landed on me. His eyes pierced straight to my soul as he continues singing.

🎶I've been attached with the feeling

Of love reciprocating and waking up with you by my side

Stuck in the same page for ages

But baby you're ageless

And fate is in our hands somehow

I'm happy with you

I'm happy with you (happy with you)

I'm happy with you (happy with you)

I'm happy with you (happy)

I'm happy with you🎶

Napansin kong nakatitig nang nakakainis si Julia sa'kin. She's starting to tease me.

Inirapan ko nalang siya at diretsahang nilagok ang iniinom kong tequila tapos lumabas na.

Happy with you mukha niya. Ayaw nga niya akong ligawan, gaganyan ganyan pa siya sa'kin. Hmmp.

Pumasok ako sa kotse ko at doon na nag retouch. Nakita ko ring nakasunod sa akin si Julia na kalalabas lang din sa restobar na tinambayan namin pero nakasimangot. She picked up her phone and did whatever, not until my phone buzzed.

From: Ju

Hindi mo man lang pinatapos 'yung kanta. Kinikilig na sana ako. Huhu.

I saw her do slight tantrums (oa lang talaga) bago pumasok na rin sa kaniyang sasakyan.

After half an hour sa pag d-drive, nakarating na rin ako sa apartment kung saan ako nag s-stay. Few days from now, I'll be leaving this place. Including memories I made here from 1st year college hanggang sa grumaduate ako.

Ju texted me that she also arrived at her place and now's ready to sleep, ayaw mapariwara.

I took a deep breath before taking off my clothes to clean up and do my evening routine. Kung evening routine pa ba dahil it's already 2 in the morning. Pero keri lang.

Pagkatapos kong mag half bath, kinuha ko sa coffee table ang aking cellphone na napansin kong umiilaw.

Zip Calling...

Ito na naman siya. Mauuto na naman ako.

I answered, syempre, gusto ko eh.

"Yes? Matutulog na ako."

"You've been avoiding me, Car. I thought... You like me?" I rolled my eyes. Minsan talaga napapaisip ako kung bakit ko siya nagustohan. Nakakaimbyerna siya, sa totoo lang.

"Puwede ba, Zip? Zip your mouth na lang. Bye na, inaantok na ako!" I hang up the phone and put on my nighties.

How to unlike someone?

Napangiti naman ako. He called me...

Bilang lang sa daliri ko kung ilang beses niya pa akong tinawagan. Weird, right? Magkaklase kami noong Elementary hanggang highschool. But we parted ways noong mag college kami. I took Office Administration, while he took Civil. Pero hindi iyon naging dahilan upang hindi kami nagkikita.

Left and right na family gatherings ang nagiging dahilan kung bakit laging nagtatagpo ang aming mga landas. Pero it's not like I like him that much. LOL.

Pero he's handsome. Tall, slight dark, matangos na ilong, labing masarap halikan, at mga matang nangungusap... Ang guwapo! Matalino rin siya.

Oh? Sa'n pa kayo? Sa gilid lang, ako nauna eh. HAHAHAjk.

Pero after years of telling him how I like him, tinamad na ako bigla. I like him lang naman, hindi pa naman "love". Ayoko rin sa ganiyan muna.

While on my deep thoughts, darkness slowly crept in, and I drifted off to sleep.
