Play it Again

Clear sky, good weather and a quiet place. In a whole wide space of the cemetery, a figure of a person can be seen kneeling in front of a tomb. A burial ceremony had been held a few hours ago, people had left and no one had noticed that someone had stayed.The person caressed the name on the tombstone. "Are you in peace?" He asked in a hoarse and tired voice. "Bakit ka nawala? Bakit ka kinuha sakin kung kelan wala ako sa tabi mo?" Ang mga matang akala niya na wala ng iluluha ay nagsimulang mamasa at sunod sunod na umagos ang luha sa kanyang mga pisngi.Lungkot at pagsisisi ang nararamdaman niya habang tinitignan ang pangalan sa lapida. "Why does it have to end this way?" Then he remembered something, he smiled sadly. "I'm sorry but can you not be in peace? Can you come back to me? Please? We talked right? We had an agreement, you said when I come back we will talk about our feelings. You said you'll be waiting." His voice cracked at his last word.He had wished

Having the same piece in their minds, they didn't waste any time and settled themselves. "Okay let's start, I'll play accompaniment." Naya said and they started playing together.    From time to time Naya was looking at Keena. As she was saying, Keena is hands down good in playing violin, the violin just sounds so beautiful in her hands. Her graceful movement just show how she was into the piece.    Gone was the childish Kenna, ang taong nasa harap niya ngayon ay parang ibang tao. Ang ganda lang ng tunog na lumalabas sa violin nito, masarap sa tenga at nakakarelax ng puso at isip. This is why claire de lune is one of her favorite piece, para itong mahinang ulan na pumapatak sa kalmadong gabi. Dreamy, peaceful, at ease, relaxed, soft and sweet in the ears, are just some adjectives perfectly describes the piece.   Before they knew it, they were down to the last notes of the piece. As their instruments stopped, th

"You like him? You know him?" Ang dalawang tanong na agad na bumungad kay Naya pagkalabas niya ng silid. Napatawa siya at tinuro ang pintuan ng silid at sinabing 'later'. Parang batang sumimangot si Kenna at pumasok sa loob. Napailing iling nalang si Naya sa inaakto nitong parang walang interview na haharapin.   Habang hinihintay ni Naya na matapos si Kenna ay may isa pang lalaking aplikante ang pumasok na alam niyang huling aplikante sa araw na yun. Umupo ito dalawang silya sa pagitan nila. Nakita ni Naya sa gilid ng mga mata niya ang dalawang beses na pagsulyap sa kanya ng lalaki. Pagkatapos ay lumipat ito ng upuan at naging isa nalang na upuan ang nasa gitna nilang dalawa.   "Naya?" Panimula nito at tinignan ni Naya ang lalaki. "It's really you! Nayasha Lopez right?"    "Hmm yeah? How'd you know me?" Naya asked.   "Colburn community school right?" His voice had a hint of excitement. &

Days passed like a blur. Another school year is about to start. Two days before the school starts, Naya and Kenna need to move to the dormitory to organize their things in their new place.    Sumama si Nathan at Emily sa paglipat ni Kenna at Naya sa school dormitory. Sa entrance palang ng dormitory ay may nakaabang na sa kanila para bumati. Napaka welcoming talaga ng Duveen sa mga bagong estudyanteng mag-aaral. Nagcheck in sila sa front desk at pagkatapos ay binigay na sa kanila ang isang room card at sarili nilang student card.    Malaking building ang dormitory. May dalawampung palapag at may labing dalawang kwarto sa bawat palapag. Nasa 18th floor ang kwarto nila Naya. Pagpasok nila sa loob ng dorm ay nakita kung gaano kalaki sa loob.    "Shut the front door! This ain't a dorm, this is an apartment." Kenna exclaimed.    Emily, Nathan and Naya laughed. They did a little tour aro

Napaubo sina Seth at Gian sa sinabi ni Kenna.   "Just kidding!" Kenna said and smiled widely. "Seth Lawrence said MacKenzie is crazy for requesting a piece like third movement of moonlight sonata to play in here. You did amazing though." Kenna replied to Naya.   "Yeah, your fingers moved insanely fast." Gian added, saving his friend's ass.    "Hmm," Naya nodded. "I like him too though." Naya said seriously.   Parang nagpause and lahat ng nasa mesa ng marinig ang sagot ni Naya. Isa-isang tumingin sa kanya ang mga ito.   Natawa si Naya. "Just kidding!" She said mimicking Kenna's voice.   "Y'all are lame." MacKenzie blurted out.   "You are lame." Kenna replied annoyingly at her cousin. "And stupid and dump and do you want me to tell your secret?"   MacKenzie somehow felt nervous. "What secret?"
