Masaya kaming kumakain ni Steward ng biglang may nagkaroon ng tugtog sa loob ng restaurant. Lahat ng tao ay napatingin sa gitna at nag-aabang sa kakantahin nila. Nagkatinginan kami ni Steward ng makilala namin ang lead vocalist nila and it's Flith Montenegro!

He's here! Kailan pa siya bumalik dito sa Pilipinas? At bakit hindi man lang niya ipinaalam sa'min? Ang daya. He started singing at lahat ng tao ay nakikisabay sa tugtog kahit na hindi nila alam ang lyrics. That asshole! Hindi parin kumukupas ang boses niya.

I'll turn off the lights and let you sleep
Just close your eyes, relax and breathe
In slowly, no don't feel lonely
'cause I'll be right here by your side
If you should awake into night
Keep dreamin' 'cause I'll be keepin' your heart in mine.
(Don't you know I'll always be near)
Even in my hardest times
(Don't you know I'm always right here)
When you're feelin' lost
Don't give up because it's alright
When you close your eyes I'm by your side

Nang mapunta sa lugar namin ang mata niya ay parang nagulat pa ito ng makita ako. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin at ngumite lang ito sa'kin while singing. Napailing nalang ako at saka ipinagpatuloy ang pagkain ko.

"He sang very well huh," Steward complimented. Yes, he's a singer pero kapag nasa mood lang pero kapag hindi naman, hindi mo mapapakanta ang Montenergro na iyan. Ang chossy kaya niyan.

Remember the days when we would drive
Into the night we watched the skies of summer so full of color and
Remember the days when waves would roll
Up on the beach to touch our toes
On soft sand my hand in yours
And your heart in mine
(Don't you know I'll always be near)
Even in my hardest times
(Don't you know I'm always right here)
When you're feelin' lost
Don't give up because it's alright
When you close your eyes I'm by your side

"Montenegro e. What do you expect?" I said to him.

"Yeah. Montenegro like your lovey dubs?" he said and he chuckled. I rolled my eyes to him.

"Shut up! Tsk. Don't curse here," sabi ko at sumubo ulit. Mamaya ko na pupuntahan ang Flith na iyon. Mukhang busy pa kasi siya sa pagkanta.

"I'm not cursing," kaila nito.

"You did. You mentioned his name."

He laughed in disbelief. Napapailing pa ito habang nakatingin sa'kin. Inungusan ko siya. Bakit ba niya sinali ang pangalan na iyon? Nagiging bitter lang ako.

"You're so unbelievable. Ginawa mo pang curse ang pangalan niya. Why so, so, so bitter Sy?"

"Hindi ako bitter okay? At saka bakit ba natin siya pinag-uusapan? Change the topic please..." I said as I rolled my eyes again to him. He chuckled again because of my reaction and for being a bitter person. Well, whatever.

Turn off the lights and let you sleep
Just close your eyes, relax and dream...

And keep your heart in mine
Even in my hardest times...
When you're feelin' lost
Don't give up because it's alright, it's alright.
