《Line without a hook || Darlentina》Chapter 11
Advertisement
Naka-upo lang si Narda sa sofa nang magvibrate ang phone nya. Nakita nyang nagtext si Brian sa kanya at sinabing, "Narda, busy ka ba?"
Sinagot naman nya ito. "Hindi naman, bakit?"
Brian : Magkita tayo sa SM, may sasabihin ako sayo dun.
Narda : What time?
Brian : Ngayon na, magbihis ka na hihintayin kita. Andito na ako.
Narda : Sige, otw.
Nagbihis muna si Narda at pumunta na sa SM. Nakita nya si Brian sa entrance ng mall at agad syang kumaway dito.
"Uy namiss kita pre!" Masayang sabi ni Brian at niyakap ito.
Yumakap naman pabalik si Narda at sinabing, "Namiss rin kita pre."
Pumasok muna sila sa loob at naghanap ng mauupuan, at doon na naisipang sabihin ni Brian ang about sa..
"Balak ko nang tigilan ang panliligaw kay Regina."
Napakunot naman ang noo ni Narda. "At bakit naman?"
"Gusto ko na syang maging girlfriend."
And those words made Narda stopped. Hindi nya alam ang sasabihin nya at ang gagawin nya, dahil hindi alam ni Brian ang tungkol sa nararamdaman nya para kay Regina, tanging sya lamang at si Leslie.
"A-ah Narda okay kalang?" Tanong ni Brian.
Napabalik naman sya sa reality at pilit na ngumiti. "U-uhm oo, ayos lang ako."
"So yun na nga, balak konang tanungin si Regina mamaya kaso may favor ako."
"Ano naman yun?" Tanong ni Narda.
"Baka pwede akong magpatulong." Nahihiyang sabi ni Brian.
"Sure sure, ano bang kailangang gawin?"
"Sasamahan mo lang naman akong mamili ng bulaklak, at mamili ng kwintas. Ibibigay ko ang mga iyon sa kanya. Wag kang mag-alala sa mga design design, dun sa pina-reserve ko na restaurant sila na daw ang mag-aayos." Paliwanag ni Brian.
"Sure ka bang ayun lang?"
"Kung pwede lang sana na ikaw ang kumanta doon mamaya."
"May gitara ba dun?" Tanong ni Narda.
"Oo meron."
Ngumiti naman si Narda pero hindi ito abot sa kanyang mga mata. "Ayun naman pala eh, sige deal."
"Talaga?" Masayang tanong ni Brian.
"Oo, Brian."
Napayakap naman ulit si Brian kay Narda.
"Oh tama na, kailangan na nating mamili baka abutin tayo ng isang taon." Pagbibiro ni Narda.
Una nilang pinuntahan ay ang bilihan ng kwintas. Lahat ito ay maganda, pero may isang kwintas ang nakakuha ng kanyang attensyon.
"Brian, mukhang ayos na ang kwintas."
"Talaga? Kuhanin na natin, eto pambayad oh." Kukuha na sana ng pera si Brian pero pinigilan ito ni Narda.
"Sagot ko na ito, alam ko marami ka nang nagastos kaya ako na bahala."
"Uy, hindi, kailangan mo yang pera nayan. Ako na ang magbabayad." Sabi naman ni Brian.
"Nako, magtatalo pa tayo dito, lalong magtatagal." Sabi ni Narda at agad na binayaran ang Kwintas.

"Oh ayan na, bulaklak na lang." Binigay na ni Narda ang kwintas kay Brian at napangiti naman si Brian dito.
"Salamat Narda ah?"
"Nako wala yun, tara na baka dumating sya sa condo at magtaka bakit wala ako."
Tumango nalang si Brian nang may ngiti sa kanyang mga labi at agad na pumunta sa tindahan ng mga bulaklak.
"Ate isang bouquet ng roses." Sabi ni Brian sa babaeng nagtitinda.
"Sige sir." Pagkasabi ng babae ay kinuha na nya ang isang bouquet ng roses. "Eto na sir."
"Salamat." Masayang kinuha ni Brian ang bulaklak at inilagay na ito sa backseat.
"Brian." Tawag ni Narda dito.
"Narda?"
"Ingatan mo si Regina ah? Araw araw mong iparamdam sa kanya na mahal mo sya. Wag mo syang saktan, Brian. May trauma na sya sa ex nya, wag mo sanang gawin yun ulit." Seryosong sabi ni Narda.
"Wag kang mag-alala, hindi ako katulad ng ex nya. Kilala mo naman ako, hindi ako ganun. Pasasayahin ko sya araw araw, hindi ko sya sasaktan, araw araw ko ipaparamdam sa kanya na mahal ko sya."
Narda gave him a small smile. "Sana tupadin mo yan, dahil ayokong may uuwi sa condo na naiyak."
Tumango si Brian at ngumiti. Hinatid nya si Narda sa condo nya at pag-akyat nya ay huminga sya ng malalim.
"Hindi pwede dito." Bulong nya. Malapit na malapit nang tumulo ang kanyang luha.
Pagpasok nya ay dumeretso sya sa cr at doon binuhos ang lahat.
Umiiyak sya kase sya ay masaya, masaya para kay Regina, dahil meron nang magmamahal sa kanya habang buhay. At umiiyak din sya dahil wala na syang pag-asa na mapa-sakanya pa si Regina.
Hindi sya nagsisi na hindi sya umamin, dahil ang gusto talaga nya ay sumaya si Regina sa taong minamahal nya, at hindi nya nakikita ang sarili nya sa taong yon.
Dumating ang hapon at kinailangan nang pumunta ni Narda sa restaurant na pinareserve ni Brian.
Nagsuot sya ng shades at nagmask. Kung mask ang patatanggalin, okay pa, pero kapag shades na ay baka mahalata ang medyo singkit nyang mata.
"Narda!" Tawag ni Brian at kumaway kaway.
"Uy! Goodluck pre." Sabi ni Narda at tinapik-tapik ang balikat ni Brian.
Pumunta sya sa stage at tinry patugtugin ang gitara kung nagana ba at kung nasa tono.
"Ayos, ang ganda neto." Sabi nya at ginamit na ang gitara habang hinihintay si Brian at Regina.
"Ma'am andyan na po sila." Sabi ng isang waitress.
Tumango nalang si Narda at umupo sa medyo mataas na upuan.
Nang makita nya si Brian na binibigay ang bulaklak kay Regina, nagsimula na syang kumanta, para makadagdag romantic ang date nila.
Unti-unti nang lumalapit si Brian kay Regina.
But I can't help falling in love with you
Nagyakapan sila Brian at Regina, at ibinigay na ni Brian ang bulaklak na agad naman kinuha ni Regina.

Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
Pinipilit na lang na pigilan ni Narda ang pag-iyak dahil magca-crack ang boses nya.
If I can't help falling in love with you?
Magkawak ang kamay nila Brian at Regina habang pumupunta sila sa table kung saan sila kakain.
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Inusog ni Brian ang upuan para naman makaupo si Regina.
Kitang kita ni Narda kung paano ngumiti si Regina. It's breaking her heart, but still, tuloy tuloy parin sya sa pagkanta.
Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Masaya na ngayong nag-uusap si Brian at Regina. Bigla namang hinawakan ni Brian ang kamay ni Regina at sila ay nagngingitian sa isa't isa.
Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
With the last strum, Narda breathes heavily and picked another song.
"Ang ganda naman dito, Brian." Regina said.
"Parang ikaw." Nakangiting sabi ni Brian.
"Salamat. Ikaw nga, ang gwapo gwapo mo, lalo na pag nakasuit."
"Pinaghandaan ko talaga to. Gusto mo bang kumain na?" Tanong ni Brian.
"Osige."
Tinawag na ni Brian ang waitress at umorder na sila.
"Ang peaceful talaga dito." Sabi ni Regina at tumingin sa paligid.
"Kaya nga ito ang napili ko."
"At ang galing din ng kumakanta ah? She's singing with full of emotions." Manghang sabi ni Regina, pero hindi nya alam na si Narda pala yun.
"Eto po yung drinks." Bigay ng isang waitress.
Nagkuwentuhan lang sila habang hinihintay ang order nila. Saglit lang naman din sila naghintay at dumating na agad ang order nila.
Narda sings again with all of her heart, while looking at the person that she loves with someone else.
Have I ever called you
When you are all alone
And if I ever forget
To tell you how I feel
Listen to me now, babe
I want you to the bone
I want you to the bone, oh
I want you to the bone, oh
Humiwa ng meat si Brian at pinakain ito kay Regina.
Oh, maybe if you can see
What I feel through my bones
And every corner in me, oh
That's your presence that grown
Maybe I nurture it more
By saying how I feel
But I did mean it before
I want you to the bone
I want you to
Ipinikit ni Narda ang kanyang mga mata at pilit na dinadama ang tugtog. Hindi nya kayang makita ang nasa harapan nya.
Take me home, I'm fallin'
Love me long, I'm rollin'
Losing control, body and soul
Mind too for sure, I'm already yours
Walk you down, I'm all in
Hold you tight, you call
I'll take control, your body and soul
Mind too for sure, I'm already yours
Kanina pa nga tinatanong ni Narda ang kanyang sarili kung bakit sya pumayag na gawin ang favor ni Brian, pero naisip nya na kahit anong mangyari ay kaibigan nya parin ito.
Would that be alright? Yeah
Hey, would that be alright?
I want you to the bone, yeah
So bad I can't breathe, no
I want you to the bone
Of all the ones that begged to stay
I'm still longing for you
Of all the ones that cried their way
I'm still waiting on you
Maybe we seek for something that
We couldn't ever have
Maybe we choose the only love
We know we won't accept
Or maybe we're taking all the risks
Natapos nang kumain sila Brian at Regina, ngayon ay kailangan nilang lumapit ng kaunti sa stage dahil magtatanong na si Brian dito.
For something that is real
'Cause maybe the greatest love of all
Is who the eyes can't see, yeah
"Regina Vanguardia, the prettiest girl that I ever met. When I first met you, there's something that I'm feeling. Kakaiba sya and hindi ko maexplain, after our meeting ay hindi kana mawala sa isip ko habang nasa station ako. Ang akala nga nila may nakain akong expired o hindi masarap."
Take me home, I'm fallin'
Love me long, I'm rollin'
"And I am so glad that I saved you when you're in trouble. Pinasalamatan mo ako, at nagcomplement ka pa, sa lahat ng nagcomplement sakin sayo lang ako kinilig na parang may kakaiba kang sinabi."
Losing control, body and soul
Mind too for sure, I'm already yours
"And there, dun nagsimula ang lahat, naging close tayo. At natatandaan mo pa? Nung nasa park tayo? That's my first kiss with you, and that time, pinayagan mo akong manligaw ako sayo."
Walk you down, I'm all in
And hold you tight, you callin'
"You are sweet, caring and loving. I can't lose you, sayo ko lang naramdaman lahat ng ito, Regina."
I'll take control, your body and soul
Mind too for sure, I'm already yours, no, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah
"Kaya naman, I want to ask you, with no pressure. I can accept what will be your answer. Regina, will you be my girlfriend?"
Hey, I want you to the bone, oh
Ngayon ay tumutulo na ang mga luha ni Regina sa saya dahil sa sinabi ni Brian.
I want you to the bone, oh, bone, ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mm
"Yes." Sagot niya. Nagyakapan silang dalawa at isinuot na ni Brian kay Regina ang kwintas na binili nila kanina.
I want you to the bone, bone, bone, bone
I want you to the moon and back, hey
Lumapit sila kay Narda at nagulat si Regina.
"Narda?" Tawag ni Regina at yumakap sa kanya.
"Congrats sa inyo." Narda said and smiled, but it didn't reached her eyes.
"Salamat." Sagot ng dalawa.
"Oh sya, magdate muna kayo." Sabi ni Narda at umalis na.
Nagiwan nalang sya ng text kay Brian at dumeretso sa apartment ni Ding.
"Ate!" Nag-aalalang tawag ni Ding at niyakap ang ate nya.
Narda kept wearing her poker face while her tears are streaming down to her face. "She's now happy with someone else."
