Kakatapos lang nag meeting for the Christmas event. It's going to be a tree-lighting ceremony. And of course, we are going to perform, it's going to be three songs sa mga chosen one. I was chosen as part of the instruments. I'll be holding the keyboard on our set.

Frances was not here. His schedule is hectic, he is fully booked and won't be able to join us at the tree lighting as part of the music club, but he will be part of the guest. That's what kuya Crae said.

Lili is out on the performance too, she's focusing now on her treatment. Hoping for the best for her. Sana gumaling na sya.

"I plan to have this song played." sabi ni kuya Craeyon habang nandito kami sa lumang music room kasama si Craeyan.

"Yung Rewrite the stars?" tanong ni Craeyan.

"Yeah... hmm... kung okay lang sa inyo."

"Samin?" sabay naming tanong. nagkatinginan pa kami ni Craeyan.

"Yeah, cause why not. Since kayo naman talaga ang nag-ayos nito, and besides, I don't think I'll hear other voice for this one. Yours are perfect the way I picture it, it was there." sabi ni kuya Crae. Kumunot naman noo ko, he sounded like he was in a hurry about making this song to the public.

"Hold on... wala namang problema bro... para kanino ba to?" Tanong ni Craeyan. At dahil sa tanong niya naging curious ako kaya tiningnan ko na lang din si kuya.

"Bakit kailangan mo pang itanong?"

"So may pinaglalaanan ka nga?" kumamot naman ng batok si kuya Crae.

"Babae!" sabi ni Craeyan. Natawa naman ako sa kanilang dalawa. "Kilala ko lahi niyo hoi, yung mga ganyan-ganyan mo basa ko na yan!" dagdag nya pa.  "And who the hell is this lucky girl? Same class?"

"Different school."

"Wow." I was too stunned to speak as they converse na para bang wala ako doon. Anyway, I don't want to break the fourth wall, this is like watching a play, I am entertained.

"HOW?! YOU NEVER GO-" na-realize niya siguro na hindi sya yung magulang ni kuya para malaman niya kung saan nagpupunta to o paano niya nakilala ang maswerteng babaeng yun.

"You see... I am... hmm... nagpupunta ako sa mga gigs. Underground gigs then I met her there. Yun na yon."

"Wait... lemme talk. Rewrite the stars. You approved the lyrics that I did... it means... the world is against you? woah... soap opera." sabi ko naman. Rewrite the stars is like a love that is meant for them but due to differences... It's like it's being denied. Moreover, the woman was worried about something. It's like a conversation between a pessimist and an optimist, with the man being the optimist. So...

"Uh..." Kinuha ni Craeyan yung lyrics. Tumaas isa niyang kilay.

"You love each other." sabi niya.

"Bakit na ako pinaguusapan natin dito? We're talking about the song debut!" sabi ni kuya Crae. Hindi naman siya galit pero umiiwas lang sa issue.

"My boy is in-love." sabi ni Craeyan na inakbayan si kuya Crae. Hinawi naman yun ni kuya.

"Tigilan mo nga ako. Basta tutugtugin natin yan. Ako naman gagawa ng set list so... goodluck." sabi niya saka nag-walk out samin pero nag wink naman sya sakin. Weird ni kuya.

"Diba..."

"Well... I guess we made a good piece." sabi ko na lang kay Craeyan. 

"Yeah, the woman is lucky, now, I'm curious." sabi ni Craeyan. Kahit naman ako na-curious eh. Sa dami-daming nagkaka-gusto sa kanya, doon pa sya magkakagusto sa taong parang malabong maging sila - well, base sa song lang naman yung hula ko.
