“I swear Miguel, nagulat ako sa kuwintas!” Miguel sat down on his bed, the cordless phone in his hand. He was working on his composition when the phone rang. It was Laarni, consulting him about Adrian’s proposal.
“O ano nangyari?” Miguel asked. He let out a quiet sigh.
“Tinanong niya ako kung gusto ko siyang maging boyfriend?” A dagger pierced his heart.
“Ano sabi mo?”
“Pag-iisipan ko.” Laarni replied. “Ano sa tingin mo?” there was silence at the other end of the line. “Miguel”
Miguel gathered his thoughts, he was close to tears, yet fought them back. He took a deep breath, “Ikaw, bahala ka? Ikaw naman ang makikisama sa kanya.”
Laarni thought about it for a while. “O sige, mukhang pagod ka na. Pagod na din ako. Kita na lang tayo.”
“Ok. Bye!” Miguel switched off the cordless phone and threw it on the bed. He laid there for a while. A barrage of emotions overwhelmed him: sadness, anger, depair. His eyes scanned across his room, finally fixating on the keyboard propped on his desk. He stood up and walked to the keyboard. He sat down in front of it.
His hands struck the chords and like magic, the song he had been waiting for finally came.
