Truth

Naging mahaba ang gabi. Hindi nawala sa tabi ko si Jigger kahit na alam kong naging abala rin ang mga mata niya sa paninitig sa ibang babae. Madalas ay nakikita ko siyang nakatingin sa gawi ni Ethan kaya pilit kong binabasa kung anong nasa isip niya. Is he looking to Ethan? O kay Mia?

"For tonight, we will be witnessing a performance from our college band group way back eight years ago."

Naghiyawan ang lahat sa sinabi ng emcee. Natigil rin ang pag-iisip ko at nakisama sa mga tao. Maya't maya pa ay pumunta sa gitna ang isang bandang nabuo noon dahil sa isang school based contest. Napaupo ako ng tuwid nang maalalang sina Ethan iyon.

"Kaso kulang sila, hindi nakapunta si Ian." dagdag ng emcee. Ian and Ethan are the vocalists of the band. Salitan silang dalawa na depende sa genre ng kanta. Bata pa lang kami ay naging mahilig na kami ni Ian sa pagkanta. Kaya nga sobra kong iniingatan ang gitarang nasa kwarto ko dahil iyon ang unang regalong natanggap ko mula kay Ian.

"Good evening, everyone." bati ni Ethan sa lahat. He looks so damn good with his black suit.

Nagsimulang tumugtog ang mga instrumento. Sumunod ang malakas na hiyawan at natahimik lamang ang lahat nang simulan niyang bigkasin bawat liriko ng kanta.

I can't count the times
I almost said what's on my mind
But I didn't
Just the other day
I wrote down all the things I'd say
But I couldn't
I just couldn't
Baby I know that you've been wondering
Mmm, so here goes nothing

In case you didn't know
Baby I'm crazy 'bout you
And I would be lying if I said
That I could live this life without you
Even though I don't tell you all the time
You had my heart a long, long time ago
In case you didn't know

Naramdaman kong may sumiko sa akin. Nakakalokong tingin ang ibinigay sa akin ni Jigger. Alam kong sinasabi niyang ako ang ibig sabihin at pinatatamaan ng kanta. Gusto ko ring isipin, pero paano kung alam kong nandito rin si Mia na nakangiti habang nakikinig sa kanya?

The way you look tonight
That second glass of wine
That did it, mmm
There was something 'bout that's kiss
Girl it did me in
Got me thinking
I'm thinking
One of the things that I've been feeling
Mmm it's time you hear 'em

In case you didn't know
Baby I'm crazy 'bout you
And I would be lying if I said
That I could live this life without you
Even though I don't tell you all the time
You had my heart a long, long time ago
In case you didn't know

You've got all of me
I belong to you
Yeah you're my everything

In case you didn't know
I'm crazy 'bout you
I would be lying if I said
That I could live this life without you
Even though I don't tell you all the time
You had my heart a long, long time ago
Yeah you had my heart a long, long time ago
Mmm, in case you didn't know
No, no in case you didn't know

Yes Ethan, you've got all of me. I belong to you but you don't belong to me. You were my everything while I was your nothing.

Ang lakas ng hiyawan, ng palakpakan samantalang ako, ni minsan ay hindi ako nagtangkang tingnan siya habang kumakanta dahil ayokong makitang kay Mia niya inaaalay ang kanta.
