Lea's POV
He left. I missed him. I missed Aga. Ang O.A. ba? Biruin niyo? Isang araw lang 'yun. Isang araw lang pero namiss ko na agad. Pano kaya pag nawala siya ng tuluyan sa buhay ko? Hindi ko kaya. He'll cost big. Nandyan siya when I needed him even if it's not obligatory. He's an asset personally. He's more than a friend I guess. I mean matagal na kaming magkakilala. Since highschool.
*FLASHBACK*
"Excuse me, asan ba dito ang office ng S.A.?"
I asked. I'm new to this school. I mean, I do love singing. S.A.'s acronym? Singing Assemblage. Gusto kong sumali. Why not. Btw, I'll try kasi sabi dito mataas daw standards ng mga mentors. Goal? To conquest and conquer their bench-mark. *laughs*
"Sa likod ng CHS Building, may nakasulat diyan 'yung S.A. Yun."
"Ok, thank you."
I sally forth to the said location.
I heard some singing voices. And some accompaniment music. Oh boy! Ang gaganda ng boses! Mas maganda 'yung boses ko. *laughs*
I commenced to the room. Whatta surprise! Ang raming tao! Wohoo.
I sat down. Someone handed me a paper.
"Attendance mo diyan.", someone said.
I grab the paper to write my name on it.
Fostissisimo. Deafening. Nakakabingi na 'yung mga boses.
"Lea Salonga"
At last, tinawag na rin ako.
The pianist handed me a sheet of paper.
"Sing"
He started dodging. K. This is it.
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes of you.
"Stoop! Sino yang sumasabay sa kanta!?", the pianist screamed as he stop.
Nagtinginan lahat ang nasa room na 'yun. Eh pano ba naman may sumasabay sa kanta. Parang may echo.
"Sir! Si Muhlach po!", someone shouted.
"Nasan?!"
"Andito sa labas sir. Patay ka Muhlach ka! Hahaha!"
Lumabas 'yung pianist namin at pinagalitan yung 'Muhlach'.
When he get back. He announced na bukas na daw ipagpapatuloy. Tangna. Wala man lang remarks for me?!
Lumabas na kami. I am so disappointed. Nakaka arghh. Sino ba 'yung Muhlach na 'yun. Pag nakita ko 'yun. Patay sa 'kin 'yun!
"Hahaha! Muhlach! Disciplinary ka na naman!", someone said.
I gazed at the one who's talking. Borta. Gwapo. I'm 15, 3rd year and I know the "crush" thingy. Except kay Bamboo na nag migrate na. Super crush ko 'yung kababata ko na 'yun. And I'll consider this man as my second crush. And the one na nererefer niya as 'Muhlach'? Nakatalikod. 'Di ko makita. Lapitan ko na kaya?
Nearer.
Nearer.
Nearer.
The gwapo guy is looking at me. Gossh. Kilig. Bago pa ako nakalapit ng mabuti. Siya na ang nag approach sa 'kin.
"H-hi", he greeted shyly.
"Hi? I'm Lea and-"
"I'm Ian. Ian Veneracion."
