POEMS, SONGS AND FATE

Untitled Part 3: The Dance

Not as busy as the band members, Olivia is working mostly on making songs which she does mostly while in her bedroom. She has money to live comfortably so she is taking her time leisurely. However, things can get boring at times. When she needs to unwind she just step out of her apartment and walk anywhere or go down town. Not that there are carnivals or cinema in town to get entertained with.

Sagada town is as cold as fifteen degrees in the morning during this month of March. At this time, the rainy season is over and cloudiness is seldom seen unlike during November to January. Summer is now starting but walking on the uphill streets won't make one perspire even while the sun is up. Olivia decided to take a walk along the road going deeper into a nearby forest. She preferred to go with slippers since the road is clean and dry. She grabbed her phone and locked her front door.

She walked past some shops but she didn't stop on any. She is looking for a place to buy something to eat.

-Can we meet at the studio later in the evening?- she typed a message and sent it to Gene with a smile on her face.

But the smile on her face slowly faded. The singer seem to be oblivious to her desire of meeting him today.

It was after thirty minutes when she received a reply saying- I'll make it up tomorrow, am at work now- from Gene.

'What an off-putting response.'

It can be hard when you are the only one excited. Even a slight indifferent attitude from the other person is interpreted as rejection. At least that is how Olivia feels. And then she doesn't have a choice but to say- OK- and send it as though it is nothing with her.

They chose an old small house near to town as their studio where all of them doesn't have to travel too far going there. She told the boys that they need to meet and rehearse for their upcoming gig. Everyone will be available only after two days so there is nothing much to do before that.

According to the boys, they will be singing the songs they used to sing. Songs by Garth Brooks, David Kershaw, Brooks and Dun..and so forth. Country singers during the ninties. Now she can see why some aspiring bands has never had grown even a step up. She wants to change and reconstruct everything. A star should not lean only to what he thinks the people want to listen to. People will listen to you and then after few times not anymore. Where will you be? You should introduce something new each time to keep the interest going on.

"You will song some songs from the nineties as well as from songs at the present. We will include some other pop songs,too for some variety. Provided that you sing the songs and make it sound nice for the listeners, any song will do. You have the talent to do that, guys."

They all nodded.

Gene is examining the car someone just brought in this morning in that auto shop he is working as a mechanic just a kilometer off town which is four kilometers away from Olivia. He had been there for now five years which for him didn't feel that long at all. He love doing his job aside from the fact that there is not too many to choose from. He wouldn't mind working as a mechanic for the rest of his life, only he plans to put up his own shop in the near future. Oli who is like his younger brother is also working there with five other mechanics under Gene's supervision.

After checking the broken pick-up it is now time to leave work, Gene took off his cover all and went in the bath room to clean himself. There, he found Oli who is about ready to go.

The two mounted the motor bike and off they went to their studio.

Brent is already there currently talking with Olivia when the two arrived.

As soon as Olivia heard Gene's loud voice coming from outside, her heart cheered up for the guy she is waiting to hear. She looked at him with an obvious smile of delight, "We have been waiting.." she said looking at her singer . She offered him to sit near her.
