Kabanata 1

"Hoy kuya? Andito na ko sa marikina chuchu where are you?" I said as I fixed the bag hanging on my shoulder.

"Wait ka lang dyan, wag kang aalis." The person from the other line said.

Like I said, I won't let them stop me.

I ran away from home with only my guitar, a few clothes, money and myself.

Hindi ko basta basta isusuko ang pangarap ko just because my parents told me so, sobrang disrespectful for them, alam ko. It isn't easy for me too, nahirapan din ako because I don't wanna leave them. But dreams aren't made para ma tengga sa isang tabi, I will pursue music til' gumuho ang mundo.

Bahagya akong napatalon nang may bumusinang kotse sa gilid ko. It's my cousin... with three other dudes.

"Lyric!" Sigaw ng aking pinsan from the passenger seat. "Get in!"

Ngumiti lamang ako at agad na kumilos upang makapasok na sa loob ng sasakyan.

"Hi." Ang tanging nasabi ko nang maramdaman ang apat na pares ng mga mata na nakatuon saakin.

"Hoy, wag nyo ngang titigan matunaw yan." The curly dude from the driver's seat said. He smiled showing off his deep dimples.

"Hi I'm Zild." Dagdag pa nito. Tumango ako at ngumiti sa kanya.

"I'm Lyric Shiloh."

"Unique." Sambit ng lalaking may hawak na libro at prenteng nakapaa. Funny, kamukha nya si Kim Bok Joo, tho there's something about his aura, he's not ordinary. Matapos niyang sabihin ang pangalan nya ay kinuha niya muli ang libro na binabasa niya kanina.

"Blaster." Umirap na lamang ako sa kawalan. "Ay akala ko kasi hindi mo na ko kilala kaya nagpakilala ulit ako."

"Wag ka ngang epal move on na kuya." I said as I placed my bag sa gilid ko.

Just to clear things up hindi kami mag ex, we're childhood friends. We kinda had an issue before and that made us awkward towards each other.

"Tss." Tanging sagot nito.

"Bakit mo naman naisipang mag layas?" My cousin asked eyeing my bag.

"Ayaw nila na mag pursue ako ng music."

"And you wanna live with us?" Dagdag ni Zild.

"Sandali lang naman, hanggang aa makahanap ako ng sarili kong matutuluyan." I answered as I take my phone out.

"Puro kami lalaki don, sigurado ka ba?" Nakakunot noo na tanong ni Blaster.

"Ano naman? Bakit mga manyak ba kayo?" I asked raising my brows at him.

"Pwede din..." he said making my eyes wide open.

"Joke." Dagdag nito, I sighed.

"Epal." Inilabas ko mula sa bag ang aking earphones at isinaksak ito sa aking phone. Sa gilid ng akin mga mata kita ko ang pag titig ni Kim bok joo saakin.

What does he want?

"Dito na tayo." Tinapik ako ni Blaster making me open my eyes.

We stopped in front of a huge house, not as big as my house but still this is amazing.

The house is surrounded by plants emphasizing the pure white color of the house, halos napapaligiran din ito ng mga salamin na ding ding.

There's also a terrace, it makes me wanna wake up early in the morning and watch the sun rise while sipping on a coffee.

"Amazing, right?" Bahagya akong napatalon nang makita sa gilid ko si Zild. He's looking at the house, admiring it's beauty.

"Yeah."
