It's You

The Finals

Dumating yung araw na pinakahihintay namin. Win or loose, alam naming we are very lucky to have come this far. Out of the many auditionees, nakapasok pa talaga kami and now, we are at the finals. Di ko inaasahan na mangyayari to. I just auditioned to see my luck but here I am. And most of all, I've got new friends I can call my family.

Tinawag kami sa stage. We all felt nervous at first pero ning nakota namin ang supporta nang mga fans namin, prang it gave us confidence. Nandun din ang 2D who showed us support na hindi namin inexpect.

Tinanong pa sila kanina nang press about our sudden closenes

"Is anyone of you dating Little Miss?" Tanong nung reporter
"Well, we are good friends. We talked but that's it." Sagot ni Zach.

That's what I hear him say earlier. I somehow felt a pang on my chest. Ouch! Friendzoned. But what would I expect? He has got it all. The looks, the fame, the wealth, the career. Everything that you could ask for. Di din namn ako masyadong assumera kaya keri lang kahiy masakit nang very very light. At least he said we are good friends.

Ilang sandali pa lang ay tinawag na kami. We gave it our all and for us, it was oir best performance mula nung sumali kami. It paid off naman. We won the show.

Pagdating namin sa backstage, nag iyakan pa kami. Di kami makapaniwala kasi sobrang galing talaga nang mga nkalaban namin.

Naputol ang mini drama namin nang lumapit bigla si Zach sakin.

"Hi ladies. Congratulations." Bati nya at binigayan niya sila nang tig-iisang bouqette nang assorted flowers. While he handed me a bunch of red tulips that was arranged perfectly.

"Ai unfair sya ha? Samin assorted lang. kai Bree, tulips talaga? At wag kayo, red pa." Tudyo ni Monique

Napakamot sa batok nya si Zach which is very manly. Ang gwapo talaga nya. Hayy this guy. Wag kang paasa. Baka ma hopia lang si ako.

Inirapan ko lang sila and thanked Zach.

"Uhm sige girls. I gotta get going."

"Cge thanks sa flowers. Ingat." Sabi ko na lang

Nang maka alis si Zach ai bigla akong ponalibitan nang mga chismosa kong kaibigan.

"Hoyy! Ano yun? May nangyayari bang hindi namin alam? Oi ikaw ha? Pumapag-ibig kana." Kanchaw ni Kim sakin

"Wala ah. Di nga kami nun close." Sagot ko naman

"Ehh ba't my red tulips pang nalalaman? If I know, ikaw lang talaga ang gusto nun bigyan. Nadamay lang kami pra di mapaghalataan." Gatong naman ni Jade

"Hay! Ewan ko sa inyo. Tanong nyo dun sa tao. Baka sagutin kayo."

Hindi sila tumigil pero nagsawa din naman kasi wala tlga silang makukuhang sagot sakin. Pati nga ako di ko inexpect na bibigyan nya kahit man lang sampaguita. Tsk.

We decided to go to an exclusive bar to celebrate our success. May access na kami dito since we joined the competition. It is exclusive because this is just for the elites at mga tga showbiz. We chose to celebrate here kaso walang media dito. Kahit anong gawin namin, we are safe. It's not that may gagawin kaming kababalaghan. Pero kung si Zayn ang involved ibang usapan na yan. Haha teka bat parang nag rarhyme?

It's almost 12 mn na nang dumating kami. Maramong tao kaya napili naming sa 2nd floor na lang which is the VIP lounge kaso medyo hindi crowded dun.

I was just wearing a croptop upper and a supper ripped jeans below with matching stelletos. Di ko pa nabubura make-up ko kasi nga dumeretcho na kami dito after the show.

Pagdating ko sa taas, napansin ko agad ang grupo nila Zach na masayang nagtatawanan. They are with a group of girls (more like super models) pero care ko naman. Eh ang papayat nang mga yan. Napansin kong tumingin sya sakin at parang tumiim ang bagang nya while he was checking what I'm wearing. Di ko na lang pinansin at pumunta sa table namin.

We ordered a few drinks at di nagtagal ay may mga group na din nang mga hot guys ang lumapit samin. I think they're called Hashtags. One of them, Miko, eh kakilala ni kom.Masaya silang ka kwentuhan. They congratulated us for our succes. Di naglaon ay nagsasayawan na sila.

I was a bit tipsy. I just danced and sang my heart out to express the happiness I felt today nang biglang may humila sakin.

"Ouch. Ano ba. Who--" di ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko nang mapansing si Zach pala ang humila sakin papunta sa parking.

"Hey! Why did you do that?" I asked

"Tsk!" Yun lang ang sagot nya habang hinihilamos ang kamay sa mukha nya.

"Hey! What's your problem?"

"Ikaw! You are my problem." Pagalit na sagot nya

"Huh? Ako? Panong ako? At teka nga. Can you not make a scene?"

"Ba't ganyan suot mo? Halos kita na yang kaluluwa mo? Di kaba giniginaw jan? Ang iksi? At punit-punit pa ang jeans mo." Pagalit nyang litanya

"Ano bang problema sa suot ko? Hello. We are at the bar. What do you expect me to wear? At bat ba nagagalit ka? Ano ba kita?"

Di ko na napogilan ang mga sinabi ko. Naiinis na kasi ako sa kanya. Eh mas malala pa nga yung suot nang mga babae nya kanina.

Pinatong nya bigla ang jacket nya sakin. "Right! I don't have right..for now. But soon I will have." Natulaley ako sa sinabi nya. Ano raw? Baka lasing lang sya.

"Lasing ka lang. okay. I'll forget this happened. I'll go back inside. Mu friends are waiting."

Tatalikod na sana ako nang hilahin nya ako pabalik and immediately opened his car door. Wala na akong nagawa kundi pumasok na lang. he seems like he's fuming mad. His eyes are blazing. Ayaw ko namang mabugahan nang apoy. He fastened my seatbelt and said.

"You are not going back there with those guys ogling at you. I'm driving you home."

Di na ako umimik. I am wierded out by how he's acting right now. This is so strange. Ni di ko napansin na nasa tapat na pala kami nang entrance nang unit ko. And how the f*ck did he know where my place is?

"I have my ways" sabi nya na parang binabasa ang utak ko.

"Put what's your phone number?" Tanong nya nang hindi ako sumagot.

"Kala ko ba you have your ways?" Tinaasan ko sya nang kilay.

"I have but it would be much easier if you give it to me baby."

Ano daw? Baby?

"What did you just call me?"

"Baby. Bakit? May magagalit ba? Anyway. Thanks for your number. I'll call you. I have ro go."

Di na ako nakasagot pa. Bigla na lang nia akong hinalikan sa pisngi and left.
