Chord You And I Novels & Stories

Sobrang nakakatakot ng titig ng Mama ni Elton. Parang pakiramdam ko’y gagawin niyang miserable ang buhay ko hangga’t nabubuhay siya. . . o ako. Tumayo siya sa harapan ko. Before she could even speak, I thought I should greet her first as a sign of formality. “Good evening po! Ako nga po pala si Rhea Tordecillo, I’m your son’s fiancee po. Nice meeting you po!” I offered my hand to shake with her at kinuha naman niya ito.

“Well then, no more chit-chat. Let’s start.” I started off strumming my guitar. “Meet me at midnight…” “Whoa!” The judges gasped, but I didn’t let them distract me. Lavender Haze by Taylor Swift—I’ve been practicing these chords for weeks with Raizel, and I don’t want to go back to him and my daughters with a big ‘not qualified’ written on my face. “Staring at the ceiling with you, oh, you don’t ever say too much. And you don’t really read into my melancholia.”

Today is our practice for the performance as appointed by the seniors of the club. I am too tired to carry a guitar but I don't want to look weak nor sound like a darling so I have to bring it with me. I sat at the long wooden table and started practicing. I already chose a song for the performance - "This Love" by Taylor Swift. Chords are not so easy but there are some chords that I am still not sure of so I get stuck here and there. I want someone to help me practice the chords. But guess what? I might be crazy because I only think of him.

Ipagkakanulo lang siya ng damdamin. Marahang hinaplos ng likod ng palad nito ang kanyang pisngi. “Kahit ngayon lang. . . magpanggap kang gusto mo akong makasama. Hayaan mong palayain ang totoo mong damdamin. You don't know, I’ve been rehearsing for the past days on how to say congratulations and best wishes. Pero matatagalan pa siguro bago ko sabihin ‘yon sa’yo.”

Agad namang naintindihan nito iyon. Dahan-dahan akong pumanhik sa itaas. Nadatnan kong nagsusuklay na ng kaniyang mahabang buhok ang pinakamamahal kong esposa. Narinig ko rin sa cassette stereo ang musikang pinapatugtog niya . . . ang "You and I" ni Frank Myers. I just kiss her forehead. I wanted to tell her something. When I dropped my lips to hers . . . she just closed her eyes instantly. I want to be with this woman until my last breath. I thank God so much for this Grace.

He said softly before he strummed the strings. Napangisi ako sa magandang tunog niyon. Ginaya ko ang ginawa niyang pag-strum. Nang mag-angat ako ng tingin sa kaniya ay saka ko napagtanto na masyado pala kaming malapit sa isa't isa. Isang marahan na ngiti ang pinakawalan niya bago muling inilipat ang mga daliri ko. "This is C." The chord C would probably be the easiest one for me. Magkakasunod na fret lamang iyon at hindi masiyadong magkakalayo.

Nasa ibabaw na alapaap ang bagong mundo niya. Isang romatikong musika ang tumugtog sa paligid para sa sayaw na rumba. Ini-angle pa paitaas ng binata ang kanilang magkahawak na kamay habang ang isang kamay niya ay nakakapit sa balikat nito at magkalapat kanilang mga siko. ‘This is it Tracy!’

Ito ang lyrics na nilagay ko sa chorus: Sa bawat pintig ng puso ko, naririnig kita, Sa bawat nota ng pag-ibig, kasama kita, Anak, sa mundong puno ng ingay at gulo, Boses mong tahimik, ang musika ko. Napangiti ako habang sinasara ang notebook. This was it. This was the harmony I had been searching for. Motherhood and music. A duet. At ngayon, ready na akong harapin ang susunod na chapter.
