Hingal na hingal si Alyssa ng makapasok sila ni Alexander sa loob ng tambayan ng mga Hunks. Pinaupo siya sa single couch upang makapagpahinga.
"Drink this" inabutan ng isang basong tubig ni Alexander si Alyssa na agad naman nito'ng kinuha at ininom.
"Thank you!" Binalik niya ang baso kay Alexander.
Mahabang katahimikan ang namayani sa pagitan nilang dalawa. Nabasag lamang ito ng magsalita si Alexander.
"You can rest here for a while until the class is over"
Since Alexander cut the silence between them. Alyssa start to ask him.
"Why did you help me?" Mahinahong tanong ni Alyssa
"Don't asume. I did'nt help you. This school still own by my family. I don't want you to ruin the image of this school. That's why I need to keep you away from those press" seryosong at walang emosyon na ani ni Alexander.
"Ok!" Kibit balikat ni Alyssa. Na may naiisip na ibang rason sa sagot ng kausap. "why did you brought me here? You said the last time we met here that I'am not allowed here. Only the Hunks can enter here?"
"I didn't said that your not allowed. The exact word I said was, you don't have a permission to enter on this room. Now, I gave you permission to stay, so stay!" There's an authority on Alexander's voice.
"Why are you doing this?" Serious and confuse tone of Alyssa.
"Just stay. You can do whatever you want here. I'll need a rest. I sleep in the couch. you can leave when the the class is over just monitor the time" humiga ng nakataob sa mahabang sofa si Alexander.
Nang hindi maramdaman ni Alyssa na gumagalaw ang lalaki ilang minuto na ang nakakaraan. Nilibot niya ang paningin sa loob ng kwarto mas matagal niyang natitigan ang bawat sulok nito.
Hindi nakatiis sa pag-upo lang. Naisipan nito'ng tumayo. Nilapitan niyang muli ang piano at nais niyang tumugtog ng maalalang may natutulog.
Napapitlag siya ng may maramdamang presensiya sa kaniyang likuran na ikinalingon niya.
"Can you play a song for me" Alexander request, habang nakadampi ang mga daliri sa keyboard ng piano.
Biglang kinabahan si Alyssa. Ngunit ang kabang ito ay hindi niya maipaliwanag. Ipinilig niya ang ulo para mawala ang kabang nararamdaman at kung anu man ang nasa isip niya.
"What song do you want me to play?" Pumayag siya bilang pasasalamat sa ginawa nito sa kaniya at para hindi na rin sila magtalo pa.
"Do you know how to play Don't Know What To Do, Don't Know What To Say?"
"How did you know the song? That song is from my country" Alyssa's eyes glitter in amusement when Alexander met her eyes. Alexander stan for a second, then regain his senses and turn his sight to the keyboard.
"I heard it many times because my nanny is a Filipina. She is a fun of that singer and I heard that the singer is a Half american. I started to love that song when I met a woman" Alexander explain with his soft voice.
"Oh I see!" Nawala ang galak sa boses ni Alyssa. Bakit ka na dismaya? Sabi ng kaniyang konsensya. "I know how to play it. Let's start" may pag-aalinlangan man nag-umpisang tumug-tog si Alyssa.
Intro~
Magsisimula na sana ibuka ni Alyssa ang bibig upang kumanta ng marinig ang boses ni Alexander na kumanta.
I have loved you only in my mind
But I know that there will come a time
You'll feel this feeling I have inside
As on cue Alyssa sang the second verse.
