Behind the Scenes

Chapter 68

Mikha's POV

The girls with overflowing joy informed me about my Aiah's improvement, they said she's now talking with long sentences and can smile at least twice in every joke they made. I'm happy to know that she is doing fine, though I always check on her through tita, I still want to see it with my own eyes, but I had to refrain myself.

I have a hint that I'm one of the reasons why she's experiencing anxiety, so even though it's hard not to visit her, I decided to refrain myself from doing so. I just repeated saying; Mikha, it will help her, not to see you for a while.

Sipping my beer while looking at our pictures in my gallery, I can feel my tears threatening to fall. It hurts, I tried not let them see that I'm also struggling, it's not easy for me too. I should be mad at her but.. I can't bring myself to hate her. I'm not sure what will happen next, I just set my mind to think that what's important now, is her well-being. I can handle this pain as long as I know that she's doing okay, that our Aiah is going back to her normal self.

"Girls, we can do this, ate Aiah will always be a part of Bini and we just need to cover for her until she's ready. Let's dedicate this performance for her, we can do this." Jho encourage everyone of us.

We did our group cheer and proceed to walk outside, here we go again, performing in an open stage and thinking the last time we did this ended with a disaster.

"Gosh! There are so many people, look, Bebe." I heard Sheena as she clings to Gwen.

"I just hope that the crowd control group will ensure that no one will get hurt." Maloi added.

Walking through the paved way to the stage is already a struggle, my gut feeling is telling me that this will mirror what happened last time.

"Good evening, Quirino Grandstand!" Jho greeted the jampacked crowd.

It's insane, I almost didn't hear myself because they were so loud. Yeah, overwhelming but I don't want anyone to get injured or something because of us.

Jho tried to make the crowd go easy, we can see how the people at the back are pushing the people in front so they can go nearer the stage.

"Please, calm down guys, stop pushing the people in front, we don't want to see anyone getting hurt, we will not continue the performance if you're not going to listen." she said, worriedly.

I just sighed and thank God that A is not here. How can she handle this kind of crowd in our future schedules? Blooms numbers are growing bigger and we need to get use to it every time we perform.

We don't even have privacy anymore, I hope they will consider our time for our family and friends. We want to feel normal and needed a breather too, sometimes.. having this fame is also suffocating. I'm not complaining, I love the blooms and I love how far we are right now, it's just that.. I can't stop myself from feeling it.

And like what I had imagined, the coordinators decided to end the show because the safety of everyone is at stake. It's saddening but it's the best for all of us, though we want to make them happy by performing, we wouldn't want to put anyone in danger.

"That was.." Sheena sighed.

"Yeah, it's getting worse, Bebe." Gwen finished what Sheena is about to say.

Looking at the outside from our van, we can still see lots of people scattered everywhere around the event venue.

"I just hope every one gets home unscratched." Colet wished scrolling through her phone.

"Above all the chaos, ate Aiah's absence is trending." Staku interjected, we all look at our phone to see what's happening in the internet.

"What the? they even visited Tito in their resto just to ask about ate Aiah." Maloi added.
