Kasalukuyan akong nasa cafeteria at hinihintay si DJ. Umalis na ang ibang miyembro ng Amber, kasama si Lara at sinabihan kami na sumunod na lang para sa practice nila.
DJ is on the locker room trying to find his drumstick. Brent told him that there are drumsticks on their music room but DJ didn't agree. I wonder what sentimental value his drumsticks have.
"Hey," Lumingon ako nang marinig ang boses niya.
"Have you seen it?" I asked, he sighed and shook his head.
"I think I left it at home. Ayos lang ba kung uuwi muna ako para kunin?"
"Sure, let's go."
Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at sabay naming tinahak ang daan patungo sa parking lot.
He opened the door for me and I hubbled in, I watched him go to the other side and hopped inside his car too. Agad naman niyang binuhay ang makina at nilisan ang lugar.
"Hindi ka ba makakatugtog kung hindi ang drumstick na iyon ang gamit mo?" I asked trying to open up a conversation. DJ glanced at me and smiled.
"I can. But Lolo gave those drumsticks and he was the one who pushed me to play drums since he know exactly how fond of it I am," He replied, "That's the reason why I wanted to use those drumticks every time so I can dedicate every music to him." He added with a smile.
"You really love your Lolo, eh?" he nodded and smiled.
Hindi naman nagtagal ay nakarating na kami sa bahay niya, "Do you want to come inside, or you'll just wait here?" he asked as he parked his car in front of his house but didn't turn off the engine.
"I'll just wait here."
Agad naman siyang bumaba at patakbong pumasok sa loob ng bahay. Iginala ko ang mata ko sa loob ng kotse at wala namang nakita na p'wedeng pagka-abalahan habang hinihintay ko siya. He didn't take too long. Minutes have passed and he's already back holding his drumsticks.
I flashed him a smile as I watched him hopped inside his car holding those black and white drumsticks. But my brow suddenly furrowed as he handed me small thing. Kinuha ko naman. It's a key.
"What's this?" I asked in confusion.
"Key for my house, I mean our house," he replied emphasizing the word 'our', "para kahit na anong oras mo gustong pumunta rito, p'wede." Napangiti ako at tumango.
"Thank you." I replied as I keep the key on my pocket. Ilang sandali lang ang nakalipas ay nakarating na kami sa bahay nina Brent.
Hinintay ko na pagbuksan ako ng pinto ni DJ dahil alam ko na iyon ang gusto niya. Pagkatapos ay magkahawak kamay naming tinahak ang daan patungo sa music room.
"Good afternoon sir DJ." bati ng mga katulong na nginingitian lang niya.
Pagkapasok namin ng music room ay bumungad sa amin ang Amber, si Lara at ang grupo ni Charmaine na tila naiinip na.
"God. Where the hell have you been, masyado ba kayong natagalan sa kung ano man ang ginawa niyo?" Lara asked trying to tease us. I don't know if it's just me or there's really something behind those words. Namula ako at marahan namang humalakhak si DJ.
"Yup. Nakakapagod nga eh." DJ replied trying to ride on Lara's joke. And I guess, I turned crimson red even more. Naghiyawan naman ang mga nanunuod kaya itinago ko ang mukha kong namumula sa braso ni DJ.
