SHE's here!

At QUEEN CITY's concert!

Marison kalma!

The uproaring cheers of the fans na sumasabay sa kanta. Para siyang mabibingi but who cares. Kanina pa siya sumisigaw. She was fangirling over the lead vocalist of Queen City, Jude Asrael Savio.

She was standing just a mere distance from Queen City.

So near yet so far.

It has always been her dream.

Pangarap lang niyang maka-attend sa concert nito. Kahit nga malayo ang makuha niyang seats ay okay lang sa kanya. Ang importante ay marinig at makita niya ang Queen City ng personal.

Fangirl achievements na 'yon!

Syempre may utang 'yong si Jude sa kanya kaya siya nandito. Eight years man ang lumipas bago naisakatuparan ang munting pangarap na 'yon. It didn't matter. It happened still. The years of waiting were worth it.

"Guys!" Jude chuckled, bahagya pang hiningal habang in-adjust ang microphone sa stand. "Lend me your ears for a couple of seconds. I just want to say something." Natahimik ang lahat. Jude's smile was brighter this time. Kinabahan siya nang bumaba ang tingin nito sa kanya. "The next song, it's really special to me. It was my wedding vow that I turned into a song."

"Awww..." The crowd sighs dreamily.

"And I know I've made a lot of you heartbroken when I secretly married the love of my life but I hope I'm forgiven now," bahagya itong tumawa.

And so as the crowd.

Queen City's fans are one of the most supportive and understanding fans in the world. She couldn't be more proud of Jude for having such adorable fans.

"And my wife is here," Jude smiled.

Ang lakas ng kabog nga puso niya nang ituro siya nito. Napakurap siya lalo na nang ibaling ng mga lahat ang tingin sa kanya. Jude, nakakahiyaaaa! Ramdam niya ang pag-iinit ng mga pisngi. Gusto niyang magtago.

Tawang-tawa naman si Jude sa itaas ng stage. "She's really shy but I love her just the way she is."

"Awwww!"

"Sana All!"

Tawang-tawa siya. It was Simon and Balti. Syempre mawawala ba ang mga Faro Boys at ang mga kaibigan nila sa FDA? Hello, nasa VIP silang lahat. Ito ang pangalawang beses na nag-concert ang Queen City sa Pilipinas.

The first one was held in Manila.

But this time, Queen City chose to come home to where Jude, Samson, and Pablo started, in the Queen City of the South, Cebu.

And to celebrate the success of Queen City's comeback. Naging number one hit ng ilang buwan sa lahat ng music charts ang JUDAS KISS album na in-release ng Queen City five months ago.

"Just a short trivia. My wife and I met in a very unexpected way," Jude chuckled again. Gaano ba ka unexpected, Jude? "She didn't even believe I was Jude at first and when everything made sense she asked me to sign her hanky that she's very fond of using to tie her hair. And she looks adorable when she ties her hair with a hanky. One of my faves!" Proudly suot niya nang mga oras na 'yon. "I discovered her phone's password was my birthday and her phone wallpaper was a half-naked Jude Asrael Savio."

Lalo siyang pinamulahan ng pisngi nang matawa ang mga tao.

Judeee!

Ang gwapo kaya ni Jude doon!

Sana pala in-collage na lang niya para sulit.

"She was a great fan of Queen City and told me a lot of times how our songs saved her but little did I know that while I'm giving hope to a lot of people I was about to lose mine... and when I thought life was pointless, LOVE FOUND ME in the form of Lucia Marison."

Jude smiled at her.

"To my wife, Marison, I love you so much. This song is for you."

Bumalik sa gitna si Jude at muling pinatugtog ang hawak na gitara. Samson and Pablo were in the background and a familiar song plays in the air.

Her new favorite song from Queen City.

"I look back at those days. When hate tries to cover all my pain. What if I hurt you? Will my tears fade away?"

Jude looks up and smiles.

His voice immediately melts her heart.

"But as I draw you nearer. I started feeling a little scared. With those familiar brown eyes. That shows me love. I found myself retreating back."

All the tears and pain were worth it.

"You found beauty out of my ashes. Drowned my fears in your perfect love. As you loved me with such kindness. You built with me my hiding place. And even though I'm falling deep under. You grabbed my hand to pull me through. You stayed with me. Embrace my today. No matter how I say I'm unworthy. Baby, you save me. Because in your love, hope found me. Love found me..."

And how can she not love this man?

"I remember those smiles and the way you hold my hand so tight. Your warmth fills the gap in my dying heart. Will this girl love me despite my lies? I'm so tired of dealing it alone. I'm giving up my fight. I'll hold your hand this time. So run with me now. Let's go and catch some golden hour."

And this time sinabayan na ng mga fans ang pagkanta ni Jude sa chorus. Tears welled up from her eyes. The moment was too magical and surreal. The crowd looks like fireflies on the big screen.

"You found beauty out of my ashes. Drowned my fears in your perfect love. As you loved me with such kindness. You built with me my hiding place. And even though I'm falling deep under. You grabbed my hand to pull me through. You stayed with me. Embrace my today. No matter how I say I'm unworthy. Baby, you save me. Because in your love, hope found me. Love found me..."

Muling nagtama ang mga mata nila ni Jude. She was already crying with too much happiness.

"And as I sail in this sudden storm. You're my lighthouse to the shore. Now I know, your love was enough to rescue my fallen soul.

"You found beauty out of my ashes. Drowned my fears in your perfect love. As you loved me with such kindness. You built with me my hiding place. And even though I'm falling deep under. You grabbed my hand to pull me through. You stayed with me. Embrace my today. No matter how I say I'm unworthy. Baby, you save me. Because in your love, hope found me. Love found me...

"So the next time I steal a kiss from you. Imprisoned me in your life, Lucia Marison."
