Miro, stood at the entrance of the university's year-end party. She was dressed in a formal back suit and had a nervous smile on her face.
She roamed her eyes the whole venue, feeling overwhelmed, her tears form on her eyes.
"Everyone!May I have your attention please!" Miezy speaks through the microphone, her voice laced with excitement.
"Excited na ba kayo?" She asked trying to hype the crowd.
As expected, students claps their hands as they scream their heart out.
"To formally start this amazing event for tonight let me call on our President, the host of this year end party, none other than! Miro Lecaros!" She exclaimed.
Students and faculty staff stood from their seat as they proudly clapped their hands.
"Ayus ah, parang walang sama ng loob sayo no?" Jens teasingly said as she nudge Miro.
"Shut up." Miro shove her away as she made her way to stage.
She stood there and sighed in contentment.
"Wow." She muttered as she covers her mouth.
People laugh at her reaction.
"Thanks God!... Honestly, I never expect that this would ever happen. Thank you everyone for making this event possible. I hope this serve as compensation for my lacking." She pause as she purse her lips.
"Of course to our dearest adviser of the student council, Ms. Aliah Arson. Please give her a big warm round of applause." She said as she tried to spot Aliah in the midst of the crowd.
"To my co-officers who worked so hard for this, thank you. May everyone of us enjoy this night. Let's celebrate the end of the year and the start of a new one!" she exclaimed.
"Thank you for your heartwarming message President." Miezy said without looking at her.
The party begins and it is in full swing, with music playing and people dancing. Miro together with her officers, were helping out and making sure everything ran smoothly.
"Guys! Gusto niyo bang makarinig ng isang pangmalakasan na kanta from our host?" Ethaneo's voice echoes across the venue. Miezy who is eating with Jens got stunned.
"Ay gago." Jens laughs, Miezy slaps her arms.
"Aray naman!" Jens winch as she rubs her arms.
"Palakpakan naman dyan para kay Miezy Reico everyone!" Ethaneo said with excitement.
The crowd cheers for her.
Miezy have no choice but to walk to the stage.
"Pahamak ka talaga no?" Miezy whispered in annoyance.
Ethaneo smiled at her as he handed the mic to Miezy.
Miezy talked to the technical operator about the song.
She stood there and the lights focus on her. She closed her eyes and the music came in.
Di mo lang alam, naiisip kita
Baka sakali lang maisip mo ako
'Di mo lang alam hanggang sa gabi
Inaasam makita kang muli
She slowly open her eyes as she feels the song.
Her eyes met Miro's and she didn't take her eyes away from her as she sang the song.
Nagtapos ang lahat sa 'di inaasahang
Panahon, at ngayon ako'y iyong iniwang
Luhaan, sugatan, 'di mapakinabangan
Sana nagtanong ka lang kung 'di mo lang alam
Sana'y nagtanong ka lang kung 'di mo lang alam
Miro is the first one to look away as she pretends to drinks on her glass.
Jens saw their interactions.
"Ah gets..." She smiled bitterly.
Ako'y iyong nasaktan
Baka sakali lang maisip mo naman
Hindi mo lang alam kay tagal na panahon
Ako'y nandirito pa rin hanggang ngayon para sa 'yo
Lumipas mga araw na ubod nang saya
'Di pa rin nagbabago ang aking pagsinta
Kung ako'y nagkasala, patawad na sana
Ang puso kong pagal ngayon lang nagmahal
Oh oh oh, 'di mo lang alam ako'y iyong nasaktan
O baka sakali lang maisip mo naman
Puro siya na lang, sana'y ako naman
'Di mo lang alam, ika'y minamasdan
Sana'y iyong mamalayan
Hindi mo lang pala alam, 'di mo lang alam
Kahit tayo'y magkaibigan lang
Bumabalik lahat sa t'wing nagkukulitan
Baka sakali lang maisip mo naman
Ako'y nandito lang, hindi mo lang alam
Matalino ka naman
Kung ikaw at ako ay tunay na bigo
Sa laro na ito ay dapat bang sumuko
Sana 'di ka na lang pala aking nakilala
Kung alam ko lang ako'y iyong masasaktan
Nang ganito, sana'y nakinig na lang ako sa nanay ko
'Di mo lang alam ako'y iyong nasaktan
O baka sakali lang maisip mo naman
Puro siya na lang, sana'y ako naman
'Di mo lang alam, ika'y minamasdan
Sana'y iyong mamalayan
Hindi mo lang pala alam, oh woah oh
Malas mo
Ikaw ang natipuhan ko
'Di mo lang alam ako'y iyong nasaktan
The song came to an end.
People clapped their hands as they cheered for her.
"Mahirap nga naman magkagusto sa kaibigan." Sam muttered with bitterness in her eyes.
She stood next to Jens who have the same feeling of bitterness.
"Cheers?" Sam chuckles as she raised her glass to Jens.
"Cheers." Jens smiled as she toast her glass to Sam's.
"Minsan talaga malas e no?" Sam leans closer because of the loud music.
Jens nodded as she smiled.
"Pero kahit ganun okay lang satin kasi mahal natin e." She replied.
"Are we talking about Miro or Miezy here?" Sam asked, confused.
"Secret, Ma'am." Jens shakes her head.
"Jens!" Miro called her. Jens immediately turned to her.
"Yes?" Jens put down her glass.
"Pahangin muna tayo?" Miro asked.
"Sure!" Jens replied, her eyes sparks.
Jens was about to walk away but Sam reached her wrist.
"I think we're talking about her no?" Sam pointed to Miro.
Jens shrugged her shoulders as she smiled.
"Sam, kanina pa kita hinahanap." Aliah approached her.
"Really? Come here." Sam offers a drink to Aliah.
"Have you seen Miro?" She asked.
"Akala ko ba akong hinahanap mo?" Sam asked as she raised her eyebrows.
"Oo nga." Aliah said as she looked around.
"Kakaalis lang, kasama si Jens, yung bestfriend niya." Sam said.
"Oh okay." Aliah said, disappointed.
"Tayo muna ang magbonding. Tapos mamaya na lang yung sa inyo. Pwede yun?" Sam asked despite of the uncomfortable feeling in her chest.
'sakit ah'
"Sige." Aliah replied shortly.
