NANG MAG-LUNES na at may rehearsal na naman, sumabay si Liezel sa pagpasok ni Ezra dahil, may schedule daw siya ngayon sa building. Matapos nilang mag-almusal, umalis na na silang dalawa ni Liezel at tumungo sa agency.
Habang nag-aalmusal kanina ay tinanong si Ezra ng mga kaibigan niya kung kumusta ang naging lakad nito kahapon.
"Maayos naman, nag-enjoy ako," aniya dahil, totoo namang nag-enjoy din siya kasama si Winna at Brylie. Doon sa part na nakasama niya si Roi, may nakaka-enjoy ba doon? Na-stucked sila sa elevator at nag-panic si Roi, nakaka-enjoy ba 'yon? Siyempre hindi, kaya isinantabi na niya ang detalyeng 'yon.
But, I enjoyed the jokes and laughters.
Nang makarating sila ni Liezel sa agency, nagpaalam agad ito na pupunta na sa schedule niya. Si Ezra naman ay dumiretso sa studio ng Atlantis. Sinalubong naman siya ni Angel at nginitian ng ibang katrabaho.
Ezra roamed her eyes and look for Roi. She saw him there in the middle, stretching his legs while talking to Ruiz.
"Hindi pa sila nagsi-start?" tanong ni Ezra kay Angel.
"Hindi pa. Stretching muna," sagot nito habang abala sa pag-scroll sa cellphone niya.
Pinanood na lang niya ang mga lalaking nag-uunat ng katawan. Mukhang hindi pa siya napapansin ni Roi pero, nang magtama ang tingin nila ni Ruiz ay ngumiti ito bago kumaway sa kaniya.
"Hello, Ezra!" masiglang bati ni Ruiz kaya napangiti ang dalaga at kasabay no'n ay ang pagtama ng tingin nila ni Roi.
He immediately smiled at her and nodded. Ngumiti rin si Ezra bilang pagbati sa kaniya. Hindi na rin siya nakalapit dahil, tumayo na ang choreographer nila at sinabing magsisimula na sila.
Manager Ree is in front, beside the choreographer, watching them. Nagsasalita ito at mukhang pinupuna ang mga nakikitang mali na agad namang inaayos ng boys.
Their new song entitled 'Balik-Tahanan' played. Minus one 'yon at lahat sila ay may hawak na mikropono. It's a ballad song and they're just standing there, waiting for their turn to sing.
It was Ruiz who first sang and she became attentive to the lyrics. Ezra still haven't heard the song even though, it is playing everywhere. Iniiwasan niya ito no'n kahit sa tuwing nagpapatugtog si Alyssa pero, ngayon ay gusto niyang subukan na pakinggan.
The harmonization in their vocals sounds heavenly. Jayzee is the one singing the vocals while the four of them are harmonizing and it brought her goosebumps.
It was the pre-chorus and Ezra doesn't know why but, she's anticipating for the chorus. Bench sang it and she still doesn't know but, she's expecting that Roi would sing the half of the chorus.
"Hinihintay ang pagdating
Sa pintuan ay nakaabang pa 'rin
Humihiling... Dumadalangin..." Bench sang soulfully. Her heart's beating fast when she noticed Roi lifting his hands, he steps backward and faces his side, his eyes went to her and she found myself locking gazes with him.
"Ayoko nang maranasan
Paghihirap na pinagdaanan
Bumalik ka na, aking tahanan
Babalik ka ba sa 'ting tahanan?"
It's just four lines from him but, Ezra could see his eyes holding several emotions that she couldn't name. Hindi niya na rin maikaila ang pag-init ng puso niya matapos marinig ang liriko ng kantang siya mismo ang nagsulat.
Roi Niccolo wrote the song and she doesn't know why it brought her so much emotions to the point that she just wants to cry and hug him.
He looks sad while singing but, it seems like, she's the only one who noticed it.
