3rd Chord
I suggest, you should play the music that I inserted while reading the performance part;)
Chapter 3
"O-okay po, sige." While I'm on my phone-call, Krish's lecturing me by geasturing that we are going to have a 'research project'.
"Uhm...tatapusin pa po namin yung research project namin." I lied...again. Nakahinga ng maluwag si Krish nang sinunod ko ang gusto niyang sabihin ko.
At least my voice didn't tremble.
I was very careful while saying every word. Buti na lang at naniwala si Mommy.
Isasama niya dapat ako sa meeting nila. Like what she always do kapag wala akong gagawin. E gumagawa kami ng booth namin ngayon kaya hindi pwede. Lalo na't bukas na ang fair. Pero mas hindi pwedeng malaman ni Mama ang tungkol sa music booth namin. So when I was talking to Mom, hindi ko talaga alam ang sasabihin ko, buti nakaramdam si Krish that I need help for an excuse. So again, I lied for the same reason. Music. Syempre hindi nila magugustuhan kung tungkol lang pala sa music ang pagkakaabalahan ko at hindi naman pala pag-aaral.
Nagsalita naman ulit si Mommy na siyang nagpakaba ulit sa akin. "Okay po, Opo. Sige po Mommy, bye." Ibinaba ko na ang cellphone ko at napahawak sa dibdib ko. Ganito ata talaga kapag nagsisinungaling, parang may kung anong bumabagabag sayo, hindi ka mapakali, hindi ka makakilos at makapagsalita maayos. I wonder why some other people are really good at lying.
"Oh sige na, gumawa na ulit tayo~" Krish clapped 3 times habang pakanta niyang sinabi iyon. Siya namang ikinagaan ng loob ko, I did survived, kahit na lagi na akong nagsisinungaling kila Mommy, sa tuwing ginagawa ko 'yun, it always feels like the first time.
Anyways, I'm really excited for this booth. Dahil dati naghehesitate ako sumali sa mga booths at sa mga contest, kaya naisipan ni Krish at ni Ken na gumawa kami ng sarili naming booth. Which is the Music booth na magjajam lang, na may per session tapos may mga historical great musicians sa paligid. I really love it! Although simple lang siya.
Kahit na di pa man din namin tapos, may ilang nagsign up na rin sa reservation para makagamit ng booth.
Ofcourse nandon ang pangalan ni Krish,Ken et.al. Did I mentioned that both of them have this amazing voice? Yes, kaya bagay talaga sila e.
Nandon rin ako syempre. And sabi nga ni Krish this is my time to shine. Kasi bukod sa maririnig ng mga ibang nasa booth ang pagtugtog ko, maririnig rin sa buong campus kasi connected ang mga instruments sa campus' speaker.
Nakita ko rin na nagsign up rin ang iba naming kaklase. And this girl na hindi ko kilala, Jane Quivel Montes. Bigla ko tuloy naalala 'yong Jarvis na 'yon! Pumasok kaya 'yun? And what the hell I care kung hindi siya pumasok? It's his loss after all.
"Mic test. Check. Mic test." Napalingon ako sa lalaking nagmamic-test sa harap ng daan daang tao na nakaharap sakanya mula sa stage.
Noticing that everyone's attention is nasakanya na halos. Bakit ngayon ko lang siya napapansin? Ganon na ba ako ka unsociable?
"Friend si Jarvis oh!" Ramdam ko na lumapit saakin si Krish. But I'm still looking at Jarvis right there sitting in the stage with his guitar. I want to hear him play.
I heard the crowd having chit-chats about him.
"Gosh! Excited na ko! Matagal tagal rin siyang hindi nagperform!"
"Ang gwapo niya talaga!"
"Go Jarvis!" I looked at the girl at the side of the stage shouting those words.
Sobrang kamukha niya si Jarvis, photo copy na photo copy!
Lumingon ako kay Krish, "Kilala mo 'yun?" Tinuro ko si girl version ni Jarvis.
"Ah oo, Jane ata name niya? Twin sis ni Jarvis. Cute right?" Krish wiggled her eye brows at bumalik na sa pag-ayos ng booth.
I could hear the soft crowd grow wilder nang magsimulang tumugtog si Jarvis.
Gosh. He's nice. Take note intro palang ah.
What if
What if we run away
What if
What if we left today
What if
We said goodbye to safe and sound
Gosh talaga! Ang ganda pa ng boses niya! Yung tipong cool lang pakinggan tas parang nilalaro lang niya yung gitara niya. I admire his music taste too!
I can see that the crowd was just watching him and some were singing with him. I can't help but just to listen to his amazing music.
My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth
My youth is yours
Run away now and forevermore
My youth
My youth is yours
The truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours
His voice was melody to my ears. Now wonder kung bakit siya kinuha ng S&J records. Gods! Bakit ba ngayon ko lang siya narinig tumugtog?
As his music goes on, we were like floating in the middle of the quiet sea, it's like a soft music to our ears, I could see that the crowd like what they were hearing like I do.
My youth is yours
The truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours
Oh, oh, oh
My youth is yours
Oh, oh, oh
My youth is yours
As he finished his music, nakita kong tumingin siya kay Jane at nagthumbs-up sakanya si Jane. Then Jane's eyes goes on me. Nagulat ako when I saw that she was looking at me. Kaya lumihis ako ng tingin. I just go back working on our booth.
"Galing niya noh?" Ken said.
Tumingin ako sakanya at nakita kong busy lang siya sa pagayos ng mga instruments.
"Yeah, he's nice." I simply said.
But sheez! I want to say how great he was! Not just nice! Seryoso, ang galling niya, daig pa niya si Troye Sivan. Pwede na siya maging youtube sensation! But he doesn't need it, because S&J records already have him, he's in good hands.
I'm really hands up at his talent. No more words to say.
Lumapit naman saakin si Krish, "Oh ano nainlove ka na noh?" She whispered.
Lumayo naman ako sakanya agad at sinabing "No!"
I just admired his musical talent. But not him.
"Nako Lauren! Nakita kita kanina kung paano mo siya panuorin. Iniwan mo nga kami dito oh!" She gestured what they where doing.
Well oo na starstruck ako sakanya, first time eh.
"Eh syempre gusto ko makita kung paano siya tumugtog!" Then I just picked up a flyer and itinupi ito.
"Aru! Aru! Ang sabihin mo nainlove ka na sakanya kaya di ka na nakagalaw sa kinatatayuan mo kanina!" Inirapan ko na lang si Krish at narinig ko namang nagtawanan sila Ken sa usapan naming.
What the hell was funny?
I could hear the emcee saying that the next performance will be the ace dancers.
So hindi na ko nanuod dahil wala naman akong interes sa mga dancers. Music. That's all.
I just continued working on our flyers nang magpaalam si Krish at Ken na bibili lang daw sila ng materials para sa entrance ng booth namin.
"Lauren kami rin ha merienda lang kami." Paalam nila Ryan at George.
Tumango na lang ako sakanila. Kanina pa naman sila gumagawa dito kaya okay lang. Babantayan ko na lang muna to.
"May gusto ka ba?" Tanong ni George. Umiling ako kaya umalis na sila.
Umupo muna ako sa bench sa gilid ng booth at kinuha ang gitara sa racks.
I was currently tuning my guitar when I felt that someone is infont of me. I looked up, "Yes?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at inayos ang gitara ko.
"Oh. Naggi-gitara ka rin pala." Then he sat beside me.
Anlakas naman ng loob niyang kausapin at umupo sa tabi ko. Close tayo?
Hinayaan ko na lang siya at tumugtog. Parang naco-conscious tuloy ako kasi may nasa tabi ko. Sanay kasi akong tumutugtog lang mag-isa. Sila Krish at Ken pati na rin ang kabarkada ni Ken palang ang nakakarinig saakin tumgtog. I'm not yet comfortable when other people are watching me play instruments then sing.
"Why did you stop? Alam ko yung tinutugtog mo ah." He asked tapos itinabi ko muna yung gitara.
I didn't answer him. Instead nag-ayos na lang ulit ako ng flyers.
"You're amazing, you got the chords accordingly from just watching me perform." Napatigil ako sa ginagawa ko.
Gosh! How did he noticed?!
Hindi naman siya tumingin sa direksyon ko, nor nalingat. Medyo malayo rin ako sa stage, malabong nakita niya ako.
I looked at him like questioning him. Then he got what I want to say. He smirked a bit then stood up.
Oh tas aalis nanaman siya nang di ako sinasagot?
"You should be observant more often." Then he pointed a finger on my nose and left me strucked.
What was that?
I touched my nose and felt that it's wet.
I hate when my nose gets wet and someone will touch it! Sino siya para gawin 'yun?! And why does he always leave with his words! Di man lang ako hinahayang magsalita!
Ugh!
