Somewhere I Belong Novels & Stories

Peter Three days since i went home to the place where I know I am truly belong, at tatlong araw na din akong wala sa sarili, lutang at animoy wala kang kausap dahil minsan wala ako sa katinuan At naglalakbay ang isip ko sa ibang dimensyon.

Doon itinuon ko ang aking tingin at napagtantong hindi lamang pala silang dalawa ang nasa loob ng kwartong iyon. Naroon din si Tito Paulo. Sa isang sulok, habang nakaupo sa kanyang wheelchair ay nakatingin sa pader ang matanda na para bang katulad ko ay hindi rin nito gusto ang kanyang nakikita. Mas lalong nanginig ang aking katawan sa aking nakita at hindi na ako nag-isip pa. Bigla ko na lang kinuha ang aking cellphone mula sa aking bulsa. Inilagay sa silent mode ang aking cellphone, tinanggal ang flash at saka kinuhanan ng video ang mga walang hiya habang tumutulo ang aking luha. Kuhang-kuha sa camera kung paano sarap na sarap ang dalawa.

Nakakatuwa dahil pareho kami ng hilig nito. The dawn is breaking A light shining through You're barely waking And I'm tangled up in you Yeah But I'm open, you're closed Where I follow, you'll go I worry I won't see your face Light up again Even the best fall down sometime Even the wrong words seem to rhyme Out of the doubt that fills my mind I somehow find You and I collide I'm quiet, you're not You make a first impression But I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind...

Hindi niyo na ako napapansin. Kaya imbis na hingiin ko ang atensiyon niyo sa akin, nag-pasaway ako. Para mapilitan kayong tumingin sa akin. Kayo kasi, all I want is to have your attention. I want us to bond like before, nung hindi pa kayo workaholic. Ayaw niyo rin naman ako bigyan ng kapatid, para may kasama na ako.

Nakakaramdam siya ng lungkot na hindi niya mapigilan kahit wala namang dahilan. Biglang tumigil ang masigla at maingay na tugtog. Napalitan ito ng awitin ni Pink na "Just Give Me a Reason", kaagad na nag alisan ang mga taong kanina lamang ay tumatalon at nagwawala sa pag-indak. Isang pamilyar na kirot ang naramdaman ng binata sa dibdib niya.

After all these years. After all these tears between us.. Kinuha niya ako na wala man lang alam sa totoo kong pagkatao, destiny is really playing huh? Sino ba naman magkaka-akala na ang minahal ng kapatid ko ang magpapaibig din sa akin? Still I couldn't find Someone half as right as you.. And each time I stop to think What it is I really need.. Sabi niya, I'll be safe with him. Magtiwala lang daw ako sa kanya, he won't hurt me. Totoo naman, hindi naman talaga niya ako sinaktan. Hindi niya ako iniwan.

Ain't nothin' better We beat the odds together I'm glad we didn't listen Look at what we would be missin' They said, "I bet they'll never make it" But just look at us holding on We're still together, still going strong We never make it. Hindi namin nagawa ang pangako namin sa isat isa na papakinggan namin ang side ng bawat isa kung sakaling magka problema. But i just broke it! Yeah (you're still the one) You're still the one I run to The one that I belong to You're still the one I want for life, oh yeah (You're still the one)

I smell the mixture of sweat, perfume and alcohol in the place. Brits, Marian and I waved our hands up in the air and twisting our hips joining every beat of the loud music. "There's always a good time!" sigaw ng lahat pasa sabayan ang lyrics ng music na pinatugtug ng DJ. While dancing, my back suddenly bumped into something. Lumingon ako sa aking likod para tingnan kung saan ako na bunggo. Isang bulto ng lalaki ang aking nakita. Nakatalikod siya sa akin habang sumasayaw. Nakikisabay parin sako sa music, but I can't explain what urges me to pin a stare at the strangers back. He seems familliar. Familliar? Sigurado ba ako?

I don't know, but whatever it is, I hope in the end we still find our way back to the place we can call our home and I could find my way back to the arms where I belong and to the man. I can call my own.

Maybe I'll move away! (Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah, oh, yeah-yeah-yeah) Start somewhere new, I'll let you have L.A. (Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah, oh, yeah-yeah-yeah) 'Cause I took so much time to reset my life But in just one look, I'm back Forget that I could have anyone I like But now all I remember is what we had Nobody, nobody, nobody compares to you Somebody, somebody please help me get over you
