Third Person's Point Of View
              
                 
                   
                  
                      
When everyone's busy talking with each other, dancing in the center, and even just sitting in their seats. Allison stand up to come on stage.
        
               
"Good evening students! Are you all having fun?" Nakangiting tanong ni Mrs. Delos Santos habang nakatayo sa stage at hawak ang isang card
        
               
"So, here I have the results of the recently conducted survey for our new Queen and King of the University" Everyone started to talk about it
        
               
"Did you heard about it?"
        
               
"Mababago kaya?"
        
               
"I guess so, sana nga mabago na"
        
               
"Who did you vote ba?"
        
               
"Wait, sino kayang nanalo? Baka ako na yan!"
        
               
"As everyone knows, our King and Queen will serve as our leader here. Aside from our Student officers ay sila ang tutulong sa atin to discipline students and to help implement the rules we have in our student's handbook" Allison explained as everyone keep their attention to her to wait for her announcement
        
               
"So, this survey was done a week ago and the result reveals that we have a new alignment or we have a new set of leaders!" Kanya-kanya namang nagsigawan at nag-usap ang mga estudyante
        
               
Oh my, nabago nga!
        
               
Pero, sino naman na kaya?
        
               
Let me announce to all of you, our new King and Queen of DSU. May you stand up to let everyone know who you are both, Mr. Mark Anthony Delos Santos, our former King, and Ms. Micaela Lim, our newly reigned Queen!” She announced with a smile in her face
        
               
Everyone clapped and waited for the two of them to stand up.
        
               
"A-Ano daw? Paano?" Tila hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Micaela sa mga kasama nya sa table nila
        
               
"Congrats, Micaela!"

Micaela's Point Of View
        
               
               
"A-Ano daw? Paano?" Tila hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko sa mga kasama ko dito sa table namin
        
               
"Congrats, Micaela!" Bati nila sa akin at nagpalakpakan ang mga tao
        
               
Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Nanatili akong nakaupo at nakatulala, hindi pa rin pumapasok sa isip ko ang nangyayari.
        
               
Ako? Queen? It should be Katelyn, right?
        
               
Speaking of her, napalingon ako sa gawi nya at nakita ang matalim na tingin nya sa akin.
        
               
I never wished this to happen. I never thought of this, everything of this to happen. Pero bakit ako? Bakit ako ang napili nila? Bakit ako?
        
               
"May the both of you stand up and start the dance?" Nabalik ako sa katinuan ko dahil sa sinabi ni Tita Allison
        
               
Teka, anong dance? Anong tatayo? Teka, pumayag ba ako na maging reyna? Kailangan pa ba 'yon?
        
               
"May I have this dance?" Napalingon ako sa taong nagsalita at nakalahad ang kamay sa harapan ko
        
               
Tinignan ko sya na tila nagtatanong kung seryoso ba sya pero hindi sya sumagot at hinila nalang ako patayo.
        
               
"T-Teka! Hindi naman ako—"
        
               
"Whether you like it or not, you are now my Queen, Miss Micaela Lim" Bulong nya sa may tenga ko
        
               
Wala na akong nagawa pa nang hinila na nya ako papunta sa gitna ng hall at pumwesto na. Inilagay nya ang mga kamay ko sa magkabilang balikat nya at inilagay naman nya ang mga kamay nya sa bewang ko.
        
               
Nag-umpisa sa mabagal at mahinang na tono ang tugtog hanggang sa narinig ko na ito ng maayos. I choose...
        
               
All of my life
I thought I was right
Looking for something new
Stuck in my ways
Like old-fashioned days
But all the roads led me to you
        
               
We started to sway slowly, feeling the gentleness of the music's tone. Para kang hinehele dahil sa tono ng kanta na talaga namang mapapasabay ka nalang sa pag-agos tulad ng sa ilog.
        
               
The house that you live in don't make it a home
But feeling lonely don't mean you're alone
People in life, they will come and they'll leave
But if I had a choice I know where I would be
        
               
Bukod sa kagandahan ng tono ng kanta ay may nilalaman din ito na mensahe na napakaganda. A message written in a form of a song. It's literally a message of a lover to his or her lover.
        
               
Dahil rin sa liriko ng kanta ay hindi ko maiwasan na hindi mapatingin sa kanyang mga mata. Siya ang naalala ko sa bawat liriko na naririnig ko sa kanta. Tanging sya lang.
        
               
Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side
There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light
When the sky turns to grey and there's nothing to say
At the end of the day, I choose you
        
               
We started slowly but as the music continues, we started to dance as we move around the space.
        
               
Hindi ko alam. Hindi ko alam pero parang wala na akong pakialam sa paligid ko. Ngayong nakatingin na rin siya sa akin habang tumutugtog ang kanta ay hindi ko maiwasang mapatanong. Will he choose me too someday like what is on the song's lyrics?
        
               
Nagsilapitan na rin sa gitna ang mga estudyante nang tumugtog na ang chorus ng kanta.

Mark Anthony's Point of View
    
      
        
Now I found the strength
To make a change
And look at the magic I found
No matter the name
Or where you came from
'Cause no one has much figured out
        
               
Hindi ko maiwasang tignan sya habang patuloy kaming nagsasayaw dito sa gitna at napapalibutan na ng mga estudyante na nagsasayaw na rin.
        
               
The music suits the feelings I have for her. The music suits everything as I am to her.
