Natapos na ang concert pero heto pa rin sya, tuliro. Hindi kasi nya alam ang gagawin. Di nya alam ang magiging reaksyon sa mga kaganapan.
At first, she didn't had any idea that Ace can be a singer. Hindi nya din alam na kilalang tao ito dahil merong mga tao sa Dummy world ang mapagpanggap. May ibang tinatakasan ang realidad. At isa sya don.
Bigla na lang nyang naramdamang hinihila ang pareho nyang kamay. Magka-ibang tao pa ang humihigit, Elynne on the right, Valeen on the left.
"Let's go sa backstage! As in ASAP!" Pahayag ni Valeen.
Gusto nya sumama na hindi? Ang gulo, this is the first time that she fears what will people think of her. She's been an item ever since she was born, as the first heir of the first child of the Leicester, media has been everywhere and would always want to have a gossip of what she'd be doin, right or wrong.
Now, she wanted to evaporate. Ano na lang sasabihin ni Ace? Magugustuhan kaya sya nito? He once told him that she is just an ordinary girl, not a heiress with golden spoon on her mouth.
"M-Mauna na k-kayo. Su-Susunod na lang ako." Alibi nya.
"Don't freaking try to escape. Kailangan nyo nang magharap noh! It's been months na din na magkachat kayo and phonepal." Valeen said.
She shivered at that thought. Tama ang kanyang kaibigan. But the case is, she don't know if hr can accept a girl like her.
Sumuko din sya at nagpatiuna sa mga kaibigan. Her heart's pounding on her chest on their way to the back stage.
She's over thinking, she knows that. Kaya naman nagpatiuna na lang sya sa mga kasama nya.
As they reach backstage she can see fans and staffs who are buzzing around.
Nasa may unahan ang mga kasamahan nya at hindi pinapapasok ng mga bouncer. She knew these people. One of her rules is to secure their guest welfare.
Nang makita sya ng mga bouncer ay yumuko ang mga ito sa kanya. "Good evening, Ms. A and Sir JM." Bati ng mga ito sa kanya. Napatingin tuloy sya sa likuran nya at duon nya nakita ang pinsan.
"Ate! Ayaw nila kaming papasukin!" Maktol ni Stacy. At nagsisunuran na ang maktol ng kapatid at pinsan. She sighed and spoke, "Let them in. They are my guest." Ani nya at tinuro ang pinsan, "And his also." Patuloy pa nya. Tumango ang mga bouncer bulang tugon aa utos nya. Tumabi sila at dun na nasimulang magtitili ang mga kasama.
Her hands are sweaty and she can feel her heavy breathing. Sa malayo palang ay gwapo na ang lalaki, paano pa kaya sa malapitan?
As they approached the door that will lead them to the guys, she stopped on her feet.
"Ano na? Tutunganga ka na lang dyan?" Tanong ng Kuya JM nya sa likuran nya. She do know that he is also concerned about her welfare. Pinalaki silang magpipinsan na magkakasangga sa isa't-isa. No ones left behind.
"Hi-Hindi ko alam, Kuya. Alam ko tao lang din sya. Pero bakit kinakabahan ako?" nauutal na sagot nya.
"It's because of your fear to rejection. Masyado kang nasanay na hindi narereject. Well, once oo nareject ka and it took you years to recover. Face this one, Ayani." Paalala nito sa kanya.
She heaved a sigh at sumunod na sa mga kasama. Bigla nanama syang napatigil sa paglalakad. A guy leaning on the door, waiting for someone stopped her tracks.
"A-Ace....?" Nagugulumihang tanong nya.
With that, the guy looked at her and flashed his megawatt smile. "Ayani?" tanong nito sa kanya habang nakangiti.
As a reply, she smiled and all she can muttered was, "Hi."
He walked towards her, closing the distance and there, she can see why she can feel and hear the beating of her heart. He has the most impressive pair of eyes she has ever seen, a tall guy, set of muscular jaw and pinkish lips she wants to devour.
"He-Hello..." nauutal na sagot nito sa kanya. Her smile grew bigger dahil don. She knows she's intimidating pero pagnaka office attire lang sya. She's a simple girl ngayon. Ayaw nyang makakuha ng atensyon.
Biglang may nagtap sa balikat nya. "I hate to cut the moment but I guess mas maganda sa rooftop na lang kayong dalawa mag-usap. I already requested there. Kailangan ding magpahinga ni Ace." Anunsyo na Kuya JM nya.
She looked at the guy in front of her. "Ta-Tara?" Aya nya dito and he nods.
