Papasok na si Narda sa condo nya nang may narinig syang ingay, ingay na hindi masakit sa tenga. Nakakapag pabilis pa nga ng tibok ng puso nya eh.

It's Regina, singing one of her favorite song from IV of Spades, Come inside of my heart, using Narda's acoustic guitar.

I love you

But I don't really show you

I'd call you

But only if you want me to

Oh, don't you let it stop

Oh, I won't let it happen, baby

I will never stop

But only if you listen to me

Hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin nagbabago ang heart beat ni Narda. Regina's angelic voice just captured her.

"Gosh, her voice." Narda whispered while smiling like an idiot.

Narda sat on the door while still listening to Regina's angelic voice. Mas lalong na-inlove si Narda.

With the last strum, natapos na ang kanta and Narda stood up with a wide grin. Pinilit nyang magpoker face at pumasok na sa condo.

Pagpasok nya ay nakita nyang magkavideo call si Regina at Brian. Para namang sinaksak sya ng isang libong beses sa nasaksihan nya.

Does that mean, kinantahan ni Regina si Brian? Pagiisip ni Narda.

"Hi! You're home." Masayang bati ni Regina kay Narda.

Narda tiredly smiled and placed her bag at the nearest chair that she saw.

"Uh, Brian, mamaya nalang ulit ah?" Regina said to Brian.

"Oh sige sige, walang problema."

Natapos ang tawag nang may malawak na ngiti si Regina. Pansin na pansin yon ni Narda dahil hindi sya bulag para hindi makita ang mga nangyayari.

"Are you hungry?" Malambing na tanong ni Regina.

"Nope."

"Do you want me to order you a pizza?" Tanong ulit ni Regina, pero umiling lang si Narda at nahiga sa kama.

"Narda, are you okay?"

Tumango naman si Narda. "Why?"

"Are you sure ba?"

Narda raised her eyebrows.

"Tell me what's going on." Nag-aalalang sabi ni Regina.

"Nothing is going on, I am fine, Regina. I think I'm just tired." Sagot ni Narda at ipinikit ang kanyang mga mata.

"Oh, okay. Rest well." Malungkot na sabi ni Regina.

She honestly don't know what's happening to Narda. The girl seems sad, hindi nya mabasa ang mga mata nito.

"Aalis lang ako." Paalam ni Narda.

"Pero kakarating molang."

"Yeah, may pupuntahan pako."

"Eat first." Alok ni Regina.

"I'm fine, baka dun na ako kakain." Sabi ni Narda at umalis na.

Malungkot naman si Regina dahil hinihintay nya si Narda umuwi para sabay silang kumain. Unfortunately, what she imagined, didn't turn out well.

Nagring ang phone nya at nakitang tumatawag si Brian.

"Brian, bakit ka tumawag?"

"Kumain ka na ba?" Tanong ni Brian.

"Eh, hindi pa nga eh."

"Hindi pa ba umuuwi si Narda?"

Regina sighed. "Umuwi na, pero umalis ulit eh sabi dun nadaw kakain sa pupuntahan nya."

"So wala kang kasama ngayon dyan?"

"Wala eh."

Medyo napatahimik naman si Brian ng ilang sandali bago ito magsalita.

"Magbihis ka, hindi naman bongga. Kain tayo sa labas." Nakangiting sabi ni Brian.

"Okay!" Masayang sabi ni Regina.

Sinuot ni Regina ang isang hoodie ni Narda dahil gustong gusto nya ang amoy nito. Inintay nya si Brian na dumating at maya maya pa narinig nyang may bumusina sa harap nya.

"Brian!"

"Regina!"

They hugged each other for a minute and then Brian opened the door for Regina.

Namula naman ang buong mukha ni Regina sa ginawa ni Brian.

Masaya silang umalis at kumain sa labas without knowing that Narda is watching them.

She smiled sadly as she went back to her condo. Regina's scent welcomed her, the scent that she got addicted to.

"Grabe yung scene nayun, ang sakit, sobra. Ang galing nila." Narda said.

Umiinom ngayon si Narda ng beer. Nakailang can narin sya at medyo lasing na sya.

Pumunta sya sa higaan at tumingin sa bintana.

"The moon is shining." Narda said. "Maybe the moon is happy, happy with someone else."

"While I am the sun, kasi ang hot ko. Naks iba ka talaga, Narda." Sabi nya ulit at tumawa.

Bumuntong hininga sya at napagpasyahang magcover at iupload ito sa kanyang youtube channel.

"This one is for you, Regina. This song is something that I can relate, because it's confirmed that I like you after a months of being confused." Narda said before filming.

She strum the guitar and sang.

I don't really give a damn about the way you touch me

When we're alone

You can hold my hand

If no one's home

Do you like it when I'm away?

If I went and hurt my body, baby

Would you love me the same?

I can feel all my bones coming back

And I'm craving motion

Mama never really learns how to live by herself

It's a curse

And it's growing

You're a pond and I'm an ocean

Oh, all my emotions

Feel like explosions when you are around

And I've found a way to kill the sounds, oh

Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you

I need you here to stay

I broke all my bones that day I found you

Crying at the lake

Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden?

Oh, and if I could take it all back

I swear that I would pull you from the tide

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa

I said no (I said no), I said no (I said no)

Listen close, it's a no

The wind is a-pounding on my back

And I found hope in a heart attack

Oh at last, it is past

Now I've got it, and you can't have it

Baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you

I need you here to stay

I broke all my bones that day I found you

Crying at the lake

Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden, oh

And if I could take it all back

I swear that I would pull you from the tide

Darling, when I'm fast asleep

I've seen this person watching me

Saying, "Is it worth it? Is it worth it? Tell me, is it worth it?" Oh

Punong-puno ng emosyon na kanta ni Narda. She's feeling it, she can relate.

Guess there is something, and there is nothing

There is nothing in between

And in my eyes, there is a tiny dancer

Watching over me, he's singing

"She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a boy"

He's singing, "She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a line without a hook"

Baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you

I need you here to stay

I broke all my bones that day I found you

Crying at the lake

Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden, oh

And if I could take it all back

I swear that I would pull you from the tide

With the last strum, Narda ended. Pinatay nya na ang camera at inilagay ang gitara sa lalagyan nito.

Pagupo na pagupo nya sa kama ay bumagsak na ang mga luha na pinipigilan nya kanina pa.

"Ilang buwan na simula nung magkakilala tayo, we share each other's secrets but this." Pagturo nya sa kanyang dibdib.

"What's inside this is the secret that I can't share to you. Hind ko kaya. Ayokong matapos lahat nang to nang dahil lang sakin." Humihikbing sabi nya.

Pinunasan nya ang kanyang mga luha at sabay sabing, "You are inlove with someone that will never be me."
