Chapter 06
Thief

I was annoyed when I already arrived at the University. Kung kailan nandoon na ako sa loob, atsaka naman na traffic dahil sa dami ng tao at sasakyan! And worst, naubusan pa ako ng pagpa-park-an!

I glanced at my wrist watch. Muntik na akong maiyak nang makita na 5:12 PM na! At exactly five pa naman usually nagsisimula iyon.

After a few more minutes, finally naka pagpark na rin ako. Iyon nga lang ay sobrang layo niyon. Swear, hindi na ako magpapa late sa mga next gigs nila...

The crowd were already hyped when I arrived. Maraming tao at maingay na dahil kanina pa nagsimula. My sour mood immediately lightened up when I saw Chandler singing one of their composed song entitled 'Happy.'

"Bakit ngayon ka lang bruha?!" Bungad nila Lexi sa akin.

Napangiwi ako. "Wala akong ma pag park-an."

"Ang bias mo kanta nang kanta, wala naman sa mood!" singhal ni Charm.

I raised my brow, shifting my eyes to Chandler at the stage. Seconds passed, his eyes found mine. I don't know if it's just me, or I really noticed that his face brightened up after he saw me?

Feelingera!

"Ginanahan bigla." Ericka murmured beside me, her eyes are just watching the whole band in front.

I bit the inside of my cheeks, trying to hide my smile. So, hindi ako delulu? Kasi napansin din ng mga kaibigan ko? O baka naman inaasar lang ako?

My eyes found Chandler. Pumikit siya, may maliit na ngiti sa labi habang dinadama ang kanta.

Just by seeing you,
You already lift up my mood,
You're like a sunshine,
Always coming through,

Oh girl, you made me so happy,
Damn happy, with you
I wouldn't get tired seeing you,
Everyday, every inch of you...

Chandler sang the last stanza while staring intently at me. My breathing hitched as I felt my heart pounding so loud and fast at my chest.

I can't take it anymore.

I took a deep breath, before screaming loudly. Wala naman akong pakialam kung pagtinginan ako dahil hindi lang naman ako ang ganoon sa pag cheer.

"Go Chandler!"

Napatingin sa akin ang ibang nasa paligid at natatawa. Ganoon rin ang mga kaibigan ko. Bahagya akong napangiwi, ngunit hindi naman pinagsisihan ang ginawa. May mas malala pa nga doon na ibang fans!

"Umaasenso may pa sigaw na. Dati palakpak lang tayo girl ah?" asar ni Charm.

Hindi ko siya pinansin at pinanood na lang si Chandler. I noticed how his smile widened as soon as he heard my voice. Malapit kami sa unahan ng stage, kaya naman madali na lang na mapansin. I giggled.

They're in the middle of their second to the last song when Ericka poked my arm.

"What?" I mouthed.

"Food, baka gusto mo? Bibili kami ni Lexi."

Tumango ako at nagsimulang kapain ang bulsa. I frowned when I realized that I left my purse inside my car. Ang layo pa naman no'n!

I faced them. "Naiwan ko 'yung pera ko sa sasakyan. Saan ba kayo? Susunod na lang ako."

"Abonohan ko na muna!" Charm insist.

I shook my head. "Huwag na, mabilis lang. Saan ba kayo?"

"Milk shake lang muna. Baka hindi ako rito mag dinner," Alexis answered.
