Lauren's POV
Flashback:
Bumaba ako mula sa rooftop ng Department of Engineering na mukhang Botanical Garden.
Hindi maiiwasan ang pagtitig ng mga tao sa nasa paligid ko na para bang sinasaulo ang bawat anggulo ko.
Hindi ko na pinansin ang bulungan sa paligid at binilisan ko ang aking lakad para makarating na agad sa Fine Arts Building kung saan naghihintay sa akin si Arius.
"Lauren thanks God youre finally here." Bungad sa akin ni Arius na ikinagulat ko.
Hinila niya ako patungo sa deans office at binuksan niya ang pintuan. Dr. Ramirez was sitting on his chair and it seems he was expecting us.
" Have a seat Ms. Keller & Mr. Valencia. " Umupo kami ni Arius sa may sofa. Wala akong idea bakit kailangan akong pumunta dito dahil sa pag kakaalam ko, wala naman akong ginawang misconduct.
He clear his throat and begin to talk.
"Alam kong naguguluhan ka ngayon Ms. Keller kung bakit ka nandito. Kinausap ko na si Valencia regarding dito. Miguel Gonzales engage in a car accident last night and it happens na siya ang ating drummer for The Battle of the Band. "
What? Ibig sabihin walang tututog at gagamit ng drum set mamaya.
I think i know kung saan papunta ang conversation na ito.
"Nagkaroon kami ng usapan ni Mr.Valencia na bibigyan ko siya ng pagkakataon na maacredit ng mga score na namiss niya kung mag peperform siya. Ngunit nagkataon naman na nawalan tayo ng drummer and he suggested you. And as i review your record. You've done excellency since you were five. And you also play six more instrument and that's impressive. "
Tsk. I dont like were this dialogue might going.
"Ms.Keller would you love to take the place for Mr.Gonzales and play part para mairaos natin ito? If you decline , Mr.Valencia will lose his chance para maacredit ang mga lapses niya. Nasa sayo na ang desisyon. " sabi ni Dr. Ramirez
"I can't Dr. Ramirez. Im sorry." At lumabas na ako sa office ni Dean.
"Lauren wait! Please Lau. Hear me out first." Habol ni Arius sa akin. Hinawakan niya ako sa kamay para huminto.
"Please help me. I really need it. Ikaw lang ang naisip ko na makakagawa ng part ni Miguel kahit walang practice." Pagpapaliwanag niya sa akin.
"WHAT! Hell no Arius. " Sigaw ko. Nandito kami sa classroom.
"Please Lauren. Kapag wala tayong nairepresent mamaya , mawawala rin ang chance ko to make up sa namissed kong exam. Please. " He was pleading desprately.
"But your asking for too much Arius. I cant. Just ask someone else." I said at aalis na sana pero hinawakan niya ang kamay ko
Dug.dug.Dug.dug.
" Lauren please. I know i am asking for too much but this really mean a lot to me. " he pleaded as he hold my hands.
Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang pumayag. Hindi ko alam bakit nandito ako sa sitwasyon na ito at alam niyang hindi ko ito gusto. I nodded my head as a sign na i agree for his plan.
"Really? Thank you Lauren. You really save my life. Just wait me here at kakausapin ko si Dean and tell him that you change your mind." Halos maglulundag siya sa tuwa dahil sa pag approve ko.
