May isa pang kuwento akong ginagawa…
I didn’t really go for the excessive chatter on the FM band that moment, so I popped in one of my CDs, not knowing what songs were in it. After a few seconds, I heard an eerily familiar intro, and finally realized what I had just put in the player—my collection of love songs.
“Oh, shit!” I uttered quite loudly, “Not this one!”
“Wait, wait…” Melissa said, and then paused to listen intently.
“Today, I heard our favorite song on the radio/I closed my eyes and saw our first hello/And then, I saw the time we fell in love in each other’s arms/I opened my eyes and you were gone…”
“Uhh, yeah…alam mo…I don’t…know…how my sister’s CD….found its way….here!” I stammered, while fumbling for the “eject” button on the car radio and, at the same time, attempting an excuse for having that CD in my car.
“No, ‘wag mong tanggalin!” she interrupted. “I like this song.”
“You do?!” I asked, with a slight tone of disbelief. She just nodded.
“Wow…’di ko alam…mahilig ka rin pala sa…medyo…” I stammered further.
“Luma?” she volunteered, trying to finish my sentence.
“Err, parang gano’n na nga!” I quipped.
This is part of a love story I’ve been working on for the past two years.
Yes, two years. That would be, practically, since we moved here. I just hope I could get a lot more inspiration to finish this (at last). I don’t think I’m even in the middle of it yet. :(
Well, good luck to me. :D
