[Sunday, “Bring Back James” concert]
Devon: Good evening everyone. From the bottom of my heart, I am truly grateful to know that everyone of you came to this concert. As much as I know, all of you are very busy with such different things yet you still had found the time to come here and support James. I really wish all of you to have a great night and of course, let us create a miracle together. Now let me introduce to all of you, SHOUT OUT FOR GOOD VIBES!
Naghiyawan na ang mga tao sa loob ng venue. Nasa harapan si James, sa mismong pwesto ni Devon nung huling concert nila. Nakatunganga lang siya na nakatutok sa entabado. Maya-maya ay palingon-lingon ito kung saan-saan na tila naliligaw. Ngunit ng mapansin niya ang mga taong nakapaligid sa kanya na pumapalakpak at winawagayway ang mga lobo ay bigla itong ngumiti at winagayway na rin ang lobong hawak. Sa tabi naman niya ay si Fretzie at kasunod ay si Bret. Bumaba na rin si Devon at tumabi kay James. Lumabas na rin si Patrick sa entablado pati na rin ang dating mga kabanda ni James. Nang makita ito ni James ay bigla itong naging balisa at nagpalingon-lingon ulit. Napansin rin naman agad ito ni Devon at Fretzie.
Fretzie: Kuya? (agad na hinawakan si James sa braso)
Tinangka ni James na tumakbo papalis ngunit nahablot ni Devon ang kanyang kamay.
Devon: James! (pinabalik si James sa pwesto at sinenyasan si Patrick)
One Last Cry – Brian McKnight
My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands, standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone wishing all my feeling was gone
I gave my best to you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands, standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone wishing all my feeling was gone
I gave my best to you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry
Inulit nila Patrick ang kanta na tinugtog nila nung last concert. Si Patrick ang gumanap bilang James sa tagpong iyon. Gamit-gamit rin niya ang gitarang binigay ni James sa kanya noon.
Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I’m down to my last cry
Cry......
Habang kumakanta si Patrick ay nakatingin lang si James sa mga confetti na bumubuhos. Nakadilat ang kanyang mga mata at tila nagugulat sa mga nangyayari. Bigla niyang tinakpan ang kanyang mga tenga na parang nabibingi sa tugtugin. Nakatingin lang sa kanya si Devon habang ito ay nagdarasal na sana ito na ang sinyales na maaring bumalik ang alaala ni James.
I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone, wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone, wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry
Tinanggal ni James ang kamay sa makabilang tenga at tumitig kay Patrick.
Chorus:
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I know I gotta be strong
Cause round me life goes on and on and on
And on.....
One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I know I gotta be strong
Cause round me life goes on and on and on
And on.....
Biglang sumigaw si James at naging balisa ulit. Hinawakan siya ni Devon at Fretzie sa makabilang braso. Tinakpan ulit ni James ang kanyang mga tenga at patuloy na sumisigaw. Inawat siya ni Bret ngunit patuloy pa rin ito. Patuloy rin sa pagkanta si Patrick. Ilang segundo ang lumipas at parang hinimatay si James ngunit gising pa rin naman ito. Nasa sahig na siya at lumuluha.
I’m gonna dry my eyes
Right after I had my
One last cry
Right after I had my
One last cry
Devon: James, please gumising ka.
Fretzie: Kuya? Kuya! (lumuluha)
Di na rin kinaya ng mga kabanda ni James at huminto na sa pagtugtog. Tinanggal ni Patrick ang nakasabit na gitara at bumaba mula sa entablado. Lumapit si Patrick kay Devon.
Patrick: Devon, please answer me. I can’t say anything if you don’t answer.
Devon: (nakayuko at tumango lang)
Patrick: (lumapit at bumulong sa tenga ni Devon) I’m sorry for loving you.
Devon: (sobs) James, itigil na natin ang lahat ng ito.
Patrick: Devon, I-
James: (sumisigaw)
[Paulit-ulit na bumabalik sa alaala ni James ang eksenang:
James: I’m sorry for loving you.
James: I’m sorry for loving you.
James: I’m sorry for loving you.]
James: (paulit-ulit na sumisigaw) No no no!
Fretzie: (umiiyak) Tama na please. This is enough.
[Paulit-ulit rin na bumabalik sa alaala ni James ang eksenang:
James: This is Devon, and the one you have is James.]
Patrick: The two of them should never be apart. Please always have them together. You have to take them to the beach. James really wanted to go with Devon to the seaside. Please take care of them. (umalis)
Umiiyak na rin si Devon hindi na niya kinaya pa ang sitwasyon nila. Naalala niya ang lahat ng ginawa niya noon kay James, noong hinayaan niya itong umalis sa huling concert nito. Aalis na rin sana si Devon nang biglang…
James: Don’t go!
Nagulat silang lahat sa sinabi ni James. Napalingon si Devon at Patrick.
James: Why didn’t you grab and just hold him? Why?
Didn’t you say without James, you can’t live?
Though you may never say it, with your actions, I know you love James! Why did you just let him go?
Devon: James!
James: No! It’s over! James already left! (tumayo bigla at hinarap si Devon)
James: I… I was once suffering so much. I am so hurt! Devon. Devon, she loves me right? One step, just walk one more step. I was waiting! and hoping! Why didn’t you just call my name and run after me?! You didn’t. My heart was crushed into pieces! Knowing that I could never be with you again was a nightmare. Living on broken-hearted feels like a living death!
Devon: (umiiyak) James. Is it really you, James? (hinwakan ang mukha) Are you really back?
James: Devon, no matter what I say to myself. No matter how I try to deny it. No matter how hard I try to convince myself that it was you who caused me so much pain, still it was impossible for me to let go. You had my heart Devon. You always had it. And that would never change.
Devon: James! I’m sorry!
James: (hugged Devon)
Devon: (hugged James)
