Midnight Highway

"JUSKO NAMAN!!!"

All of the staff inside the studio flinched when they heard the scream. They know very well that their producer, Alden Richards, is annoyed. The one inside the recording room flinched as well.

"Ganyan ka ba talaga kumanta?! If you can call that singing, that is!!" he yelled at the mic looking at the girl inside the recording room. "Christine, you are getting on my nerves!! Simpleng melody lang, pero tangina hindi mo makuha?!" he exasperated. "Tang ina!!"

Christine bit her lips with every curse Alden is throwing. She fidgeted when she saw Alden glared at her and sigh harshly.

"Pack up," Alden said in a calmer tone after a few minutes. "Let's do this again tomorrow. You can tell her to get out of that damn room already," he said. "I can't believe she's so fucking popular even though she can't sing that well."

Christine heard it and knowing Alden is calmer now, she's back on being a diva.

"I'm pretty. Boys and even girls like me. There's no question about it," she said, full of confidence.

"True, but you're not much of a good singer, not like what your fans think. If without auto-tune, magboboses lata ka. And you're a terrible actress as well, hindi ko talaga maintindihan kung baket ka sikat," he bluntly said.

Christine huffed her cheeks, offended. "Sobra ka na Alden ha! Papa-pull out ako sayo!!" she threatened.

"Ha! By all means princess, I would love to leave you and have someone take care of you instead. Kung hindi lang Tito ko ang manager mo na nakiusap sa akin na bigyan na ulit ng album, I won't even do this," he sigh. "Kung hindi mob a naman kasi tinaray-tarayan yung ghost singer mo, e di sana hindi tayo nagkakaproblema ng ganito!"

"I can sing! And I don't need a fucking ghost singer!" she retorted.

"Then learn how to sing,"

"Tara na Bernie!" she said to her PA and walked out the door.

"Drama queen," he said and grabbed his back pack. "Una na ako," he said to no one in particular.

He went to where his car is and drive his way home. While on the way he got a text from his little brother Baste asking him to drop by to the supermarket.

"Oo nga pala," he said and turned his car back to go grocery shopping.

He grabbed all the stocks they need for the next 2 weeks and his current muse right now, box of chuckie.

It was raining heavily when he got out of the supermarket.

"Agh!! Bat ngayon pa umulan?!" he cursed under his breathe while he walks his way to his car. He just put the grocery at the back seat then started the engine.

The rain got heavier as he parked his car at their garage. Suddenly there was a loud thud sound that came from the back of his car.

His first instinct is that he drove into something that made the sound, or worse, someone out a dead bocy in his compartment while he was inside the supermarket.

"Oh please not the latter," he prayed.

He went out of his car soaking cause of the rain and checked down to see if he indeed did hit something, but nothing is down there. He looked at the compartment. Gulping, he went closer. With trembling hands, he reached out to open the compartment slowly.

His eyes widened on what he saw. Inside was a girl sleeping like a child in a fetal position. The girl woke up from her slumber and looked at Alden.
