The Rebel Slam 3: KYLE

CHAPTER TWENTY

CHAPTER TWENTY

"LOSING him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him is like trying to know somebody you've never met

But loving him was red

Loving him was red..."

In short, loving him is infinite. Wagas na walang-hanggan para sa irog niyang si Kyle. She doesn't want to lose Kyle. And she doesn't want to miss him. Or forget him. Gusto niyang palagi lang niya itong nakakasama o di kaya ay natatanaw.

Tila may kumikiliti sa puso niya habang kumakanta at nakatingin kay Kyle he's also staring at her! Hindi lang ra gitara nito!

Napaka-cool talaga nito habang naggigitara. At take note, siya ang ginigitarahan nito ngayon.

"Touching him is like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you

Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song

Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer

Regretting him was like wishing you never found out love could be that strong..."

Kahit nga kaharap niya lang si Kyle o tinitingnan sa malayo, feeling niya ay ito na talaga amg hinahanap niya. She could not ask for anything except him. Makamtan niya lang ito ay kumpleto na siya.

Sumenyas si Grendle na lapitan niya si Kyle. May naglalarong pilyong ngiti sa mga labi nito. And she's willing to obligue.

It was the adlib kaya tutok si Kyle sa gitara nito. Hindi nito napansin ang paglapit niya. Tinapik niya ang buhok nitong tumatakip sa mukha nito. Gulat itong napatingin sa kanya. Kinindatan niya ito.

"Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes

Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go

But moving on from him is impossible

When I still see it all in my head

Burning red!

Darling it was red!"

Ito na talaga ang pagkakataon niya para 'maakit' ito. Ipinatong niya ang isang kamay sa balikat nito. She stares directly at his eyes.

"Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him is like trying to know somebody you've never met

But loving him was red

Yeah, yeah red

Burning red!"

'Loving you was red, Kyle my loves. Hindi ka basta-basta mabubura sa isip ko,' nakangiting saisip niya habang pinagmamasdan ang gwapong mukha nito.

INIHINTO ni Kyle ang motorbike sa tapat ng gate ng bahay nila. Dahil grills iyon, tanaw agad ni Jazmine ang daddy niya na nag-aabang sa main door.

"Patay! Ang aga niya ngayon?" hindi mapigilang bulalas niya. Ang sabi nito ay late na ito makakauwi ngayon kaya may lakas ng loob siyang magtagal sa labas. Iyon pala ay...

"Jazmine!"

Napangiwi siya nang mamataan sila nito. Dali-dali siyang bumaba sa motorbike. Baka pati si Kyle ay malintikan. Hindi pa siya ready na ipakilala ito sa daddy niya. Ang gusto niya sana ay kapag may gusto na rin sa kanya ang lalaki. Kinakabahan din siya sa magiging reaksyon nito sa dad niya. She knew how snob he is. Ayaw niyang magkaroon agad ng conflict sa dalawa.
