Serendipitous Encounter #6

They'll make it big. I'm sure of it.

They were amazing on stage.

The faces they made whilst performing on stage made it clear that they were fervent musicians. They made sure their scorching passion sear into our skins. Their music reflected that passion.

I, myself, do not know if I have passion over something. The books I've read or the interests I developed, isn't entirely because of my free will... So I often question myself if I can do something that is based on what I love and not what others want me to love.

I admire Havier for choosing music over the path that his mom originally wanted... because he loved music so much he's willing to risk the expectations of his mother. Meanwhile, I am too scared to not please others.

"Sige na! Payag kana, Aki..." paki-usap ni Mavida habang hinihila ako. "Gusto kong pumunta ro'n eh! At ayaw ko naman'g iwan ka rito mag-isa!"

Suminghap ako.

"Hindi naman tayo mag-tatagal doon. We're just going to greet my brother." ani Georgeanne na nasa harapan.

The two of them wanted to go to the backstage to "surprise" Georgeanne's brother kahit na ayaw nito. Mavida is actually the main culprit of this preposterous idea because she wanted to meet Georgeanne's brother's bandmate...

At bakit hindi ako payag?

If this was another band I would've agreed... but this is Havier's band for christ's sake!

I know I only came here to see Havier. Pero gusto ko bang makita niya ako? Of course, not! Ano nalang ang iisipin niya kung ganoon? What if he gets enlighten that I for a fact likes him? I mean I do want to convey these feelings of mine to him but at least not in this way. He'll definitely think weirdly if he saw me today... because why would I even be here? But if don't come with Mavi, I'll be left alone... who knows what danger I might face. There are a lot of people here; the chance of creeps being present isn't as low as a hundred percent!

Oh my god, I'm panicking really bad.

And Mavida is pulling me nearer towards the back. Wala akong magawa kundi magpa-tinaod nalang.

Someone stopped us nang makarating kami sa likod ngunit may sinabi si Georgeanne sa bouncer upang makapasok kami.

The place is filled with different tents and there are also a lot of people. It's even more chaotic here. Some group of girls tried to break in without permission which caused problems.

I'd gladly give them my spot.

"You girls need some help?" a guy who was strumming his guitar while slouching on a mono block asked.

Napansin niya siguro na mukhang naliligaw kami rito dahil maski si Georgeanne ay hindi alam kung nasaan ang banda nila Havier. Ayaw rin naman niya itext ang kanyang kuya dahil surprise nga raw.

The three of us looked at him as he stands up and approach us. Georgeanne and Mavida smiled while I am still tensed and nervous.

"Hi! We're actually looking for my br— I mean The Dawn..."

"Fans?" he jokingly asked.
