Zychela's POV

I was really excited for today. Why?

Dahil ngayon ay ang first concert ng glee club.

Wala rin akong kabang nararamdaman ngayon. Ilang beses na akong nagperform kaya I'm used to it na.

"Kind'a nervous?" tanong sa akin ni Kevin.

"Nah," sagot ko sabay iling.

"Grabe ang confidence ah."

"Kevin you know how many times did I perform di ba?"

"Sabagay. You're an attention seeker eh."

"I prefer an incredible stage performer."

"Woah. Nagbuhat na naman ng sariling bangko ah." Umiling siya.

"Alam mo kung mang-iinis ka lang then cut it out. Baka mamaya sa stage ay mapahiya ka."

"'Natakot ako," sarcastic na sabi niya kaya nagroll eyes na lang ako at umalis na siya.

"Wag masyadong highblood," sabi ni Amber.

"It may affect your performances later Chels."

"Tama ka. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out," sabi ko habang ginagawa pa ang breathing exercise na iyon.

"You're right. Dapat kalma lang. Teka nga pala si Dani?"

"Kasama si Lloyd."

"Talaga? Nagkakamabutihan na ba sila?"

"Ewan ko pero parang magkaibigan lang sila eh."

"You think so?"

"I guess. Bakit mo nga pala natanong? Woah oo nga pala, I forgot. Ultimate crush mo nga pala si Lloyd."

"Shh 'wag kang maingay at baka may makarinig sa'yo," sabi ko at parang pinag-zipper na lang niya 'yung bibig niya

Nasa backstage ako ngayon ay kasama ko ang aking partner.

"Malapit na tayo. Ano ready ka na?" tanong sa akin ni Kevin. Sila Amber at yung partner niya na kasi yung nagpeperform

"Ako pa talagang tinanong mo Mr. Arrogant noh. Maybe you should ask yourself."

"Sa galing kong 'to. Kakabahan ako," mayabang niyang saad.

"Tss. Yabang," bulong ko sa sarili ko.

"At least gwapo."

"Saang banda?" nakataas ang kilay kong tanong.

"Sa lahat ng banda."

"Huwag kang masyadong mayabang, pwede?"

"Ready na kayo at kayo na ang susunod Zychela," sabi ni miss Ventajar, 'yung naga-assist sa amin.

Naghanda na kami dahil kami na 'yung susunod.

Nung nakabalik na sila Amber rito sa backstage ay ngumiti na lang 'to sa akin at nag-mouth ng 'good luck'. Nagtungo na kami ni Kevin sa stage.

We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

Pagsisimula ko sa kanta habang nakatingin sa audience at nakangiti..

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start

Si Kevin naman 'yung kumanta. Naaglakad na kaming dalawa patungong gitna upang magkasalubungan kami.

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Sabay naming kanta habang magkahawak ng kamay pero nakatingin sa mga audience.

Nahagip naman ng mata ko sila daddy, mommy, ate, kuya, grandmamma, at grandpapa na nanonood sa akin dahilan upang mas lumawak ang ngiti sa aking labi.

I'm so lucky to have a very supportive family.

We were strangers, on a crazy adventure

Kanta ulit ni Kevin.

Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true

Ako naman 'yung kumanta sa parteng 'yun.

Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

Sabay ulit naming kanta habang magkatingin na sa isa't isa.

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Knew there was somebody, somewhere
A new love in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

Ngayon ay magkaharap na kami pero magkahawak pa rin kami ng kamay.

Ewan ko ba pero pakiramdam ko parang may nagkokonekta sa amin ngayon habang kumakanta. There is something I cannot decipher on what it is.

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you...

Nang matapos na kami sa pagkanta ay humarap na kami sa mga audience na nagbibigay ng malakas na palakpakan. Mas ikinataba pa ng aking puso dahil nag-standing ovation pa sila.

Nang matapos na ang performance namin ay pabalik na kami sa backstage at nakasalubong namin sila Danica at Lloyd.

"Good job," sabi sa akin ni Dan.

"Thanks," sabi ko ng nakangiti at sila naman 'yung pumasok para sa performance nila.

Natapos naman ang concert ng matiwasay.

Nandito na pala kami ngayon sa bahay nila daddy.

"Ang galing galing talaga ng anak ko," puri sa akin ni mommy.

"Kanino pa ba 'yan magmamana eh di siyempre sa akin na grandmamma niya?" taas noong wika ni grandmamma.

"Ikaw Zychela sino 'yung kapartner mo kanina?" maawtoridad na tanong ni daddy.

"Si Kevin po."

"Kevin. . ."

"Loyzaga po."

"Kaano ano mo siya?"

"Partner sa glee club."

"Eh ba't kayo magkahawak ng kamay?"

"Dad that's just for the show naman eh. Don't overreact."

"Oo nga naman Antonio. Performance lang naman 'yun eh," sabi ni grandpapa.

"Kahit na."

"Hayy naku kumain na nga lang tayo," sabi ni grandmamma kaya sinimulan na naming kumain.
