STEP: LET GO OF YOUR ANGER

[Nathan’s POV]

This play is stupid. Tss. Practice na naman. Ang lame pa ng script. Kami lang ang magprepresent ng lovestory. Kainis talaga.

“Ang cute talaga ng play natin!”

“Unconditional love kahit alam nung husband na pwedeng maging mentally retarded yung anak nila.”

“They loved each other, and they love their son despite everything!” *sigh*

Naririnig ko sa mga classmates kong babae. They really are getting on my nerves.

[FLASHBACK]

Nag-audition ang buong class para sa mga roles sa play namin.

 “Okay! Done with the minor roles so let’s proceed with the lead roles. Si Red ang pinakamagaling umarte, no doubt about it. Kaya I propose na siya ang ating Fragile Baby.” sabi ni Althea samin.

“No! Pwede ako na lang yung wife? Sayang ang beauty ko! At alam ko baby boy ang kailangan niyo. I’m no boy! huhuhu!” Pagdadrama nung bading na si Red.

“Sorry! Pero overruled ka na ng buong klase! Isipin mo na lang mataas makukuha mong plus points dito.” Ngumiti si Althea kay Red at bumalik sa paghahanap ng cast.                                                          

“So next is yung Fragile Mommy, siya yung wife sa story.” Sabi nung President namin.

“I nominate Monique and Kinna.”Biglang sabi ni Irene.

 Nagbulungan yung class, hindi makapili. Tumingin ako kay Niko at nakita ko nakatingin siya kay Kinna. I don’t know why I did this but suddenly nagtaas ako ng kamay at nagsalita, “I volunteer as the husband in the story.”

Biglang natahimik ang buong class.Napansin kong nagbulungan si Monique at Kinna. Biglang tumayo si Monique, and with a determined look on her face.

She said:“Nag-usap na kami ni Kinna, ako na yung sa part ng wife.”

What the hell?

[PRESENT]

[Monique’s POV]

My heart was beating so fast tuwing naiisip ko ang practice namin ni Nathan but I told myself that I wanted this. Natahimik yung class noon pero wala namang nag-object. It was decided, si Nathan at ako na ang magiging lead sa play.

Mabuti na lang nandyan si Kinna, siya yung nagpapalakas ng loob ko. Alam kasi ni Kinna na pangarap ko talagang maging theater actress. I know, napakalayo sa personality ko dito sa school kasi mahiyain ako.But in the stage, I’m different. I was born in a family with  average income. I wanted to be a doctor, pero passion ko pa rin ang umarte. I used to act when I was in high school kaso nagfocus ako sa studies in college para makakuha ng scholarship. Ayaw ko kasi umasa sa magulang ko. Ito na lang ulit yung chance for me to get back up on stage.

Also, there’s something about Nathan. I know he is mean at timespero feeling ko hindi lang siya marunong mag-express ng feelings niya. And I know for a fact na may gusto siya kay Kinna, but Kinna and Niko are already in love, eventhough they haven’t realized it themselves.

I don’t know if I like Nathan but this feeling is nagging me since first day na makita ko siya, kahit na ang sungit niya. I hope I get to know him better during this play. Please prove them all wrong, Nathan! I know there’s a great guy inside of you that’s wishing to come out.

[Nathan’s POV]

Even though I’m a bit pissed off kay Monique, I can’t deny that she’s a very good actress, buong class ang nagulat sa kanya. She’s like this whole different person kapag nasa stage kami. She’s also really nice kahit na sinusungitan ko siya palagi. It’s like she’s always happy to see me. Siya din yung unang tao na gustong makipagkaibigan sakin pero sinungitan ko siya so I know that I don’t deserve her kindness.
