It's been a year since I left PH. We are now busy in our world tour. Since our song become more demand in the industry, we do our best to keep it up. And now, we're sacrificing a lot to make things right. I'm still wondering if she has someone right now? I shrugged. Hoping there's no one in her life right now.

Pagod akong sumandal sa couch na provided ng US Government dito. Right now, Stell is performing in the stage. Meanwhile Josh and Justin are playing in the other side. While Paulo-his new stage name, nasa may tv part.

I badly want to go back in Philippines. I looked at my phone before looking at them. Gusto ko siyang tawagan. But the management says no. We should focus on our world tour bago sa iba. Napahilot tuloy ako sa sintido ko. This is stressing me out.

"Nice, galing talaga ni Stell." Paulo said.

"Last world tour na ba natin 'to?" I asked.

"Luckily, yes. After that, working our ass na sa Philippines." Josh explained.

"Finally..." I whispered.

"I'm sure, maiintindihan naman ni Klysenth 'yon." Lumapit sa akin si Paulo bago tumabi sa akin sa couch.

"Hoping that Joy would feel the same way." He said.

"Nagsisisi ako. I shouldn't break up with her."

"Last stop na natin ang PH. Kaya kalma ka na riyan. We almost live our lives in different countries-promoting our song and our will. So, let's do our best." Paulo said, handling me a cup of coffee.

Wala kaming balita sa kanila. Last time, Klysenth left the company. But Xi stay because of Josh. Maybe Josh explained it to Xi well. And they both have trust to each other. I'm wondering, if Klysenth have faith on me-would be the things will go like this?

"Okay, for our next performance today! He's one of the most bachelor of the group, CEO of the Superior Company, and the one of the Soloist... Let's all welcome, Mr. Ken Suson!"

I smiled at the camera as I make my entrance to the crowd. The cheers of the people makes my heart goes wild to do more. But I'm just a human-who goes tired of this set up and what I've been doing.

I sat quietly on the chair with the spotlight on it. I sighed before I turned on my microphone and check it. And then again, the crowd goes wild. I slowly strum my guitar again. I hope you are listening right now to me... Or even watching this stream online, please...

"Hayst, ang pogi pa rin talaga ni Ken 'no? Kahit isang taon na siyang wala rito."

Sinuot ko kaagad ang earphones kong may noise cancellation. I've been working my ass here as a writer, but she keeps reminding of that fucking man. Hindi pa naman ako sikat, but luckily-I got a spot through my internet friend that I met last time.

Nakikita ko sa peripheral vision ko si Xi na hinahampas na ang unan sa tabi niya habang sumisigaw siguro. Buti pa sila ni Josh, going strong. Pero someone decided to cut off the strings connecting on us. I sighed before I took off a break.

"Siguro nga'y wala nang natira sa,

mga sinulat mo na para sa 'kin

Alam kong luha ang bumubura ngunit hayaan mo na lang,

Walang saysay ang panalangin ko kung 'di ako ang hahanapin mo,

Kahit sigaw pa ang pagsamo ko sa 'yo bakit 'di mo dama 'to
