Psalm 34:18
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
(Chapter dedicated to: ATE DAPHNEYYYY 💓)

Note: Kenneth Padilla is played by Ariel Rivera. Enough of Ariel's (Angelo and Christian) good side. Time na para makagawa naman siya ng isang mali. 😝

She is all set for tonight's gig.

She's attended several gigs of Unique's band before but she feels something different is going to happen tonight. Her hair was in beach wave falling down her shoulders while she was wearing a simple make-up on which she did an hour ago.

She stood up to get her phone then she heard knocks on her door, "Lea, are you ready? I'll be waiting downstairs."

She shouted, "Yes, ma. Saglit lang."

After answering, Lea checked her whole room if everything's fixed and clean before deciding to go out.

Unique was standing right beside the door to which she almost jumped in jolt, "Ano ba, Koi!"

Unique giggled as he saw her holding her chest prolly because she's somehow shocked, "Tara na, ma. May sundo tayo."

Her forehead creased, "Sundo? Sino? Kakakausap ko lang kay Kuya Rey kanina. Sabi ko ihatid tayo."

He gestured for her to clung her arms on his to which she gladly did, "May sundo nga po tayo."

She didn't bother to answer anymore, instead she just nodded and started walking.

Upon seeing them walking down the stairs, Mommy Joy stood up.

Her heart was beating so fast in hopes that Aga is the one that'll pick them up since Unique has been inviting him to watch one of their gigs.

Speaking of Aga, he hasn't texted her yet. Ever since the dinner happened, Aga had been sending her messages, sometimes he updates her about him and all he does. And she likes it. Just like the old times.

They went outside the house and she saw an unfamiliar white van.

Had Aga changed his car?

Koi was gentleman enough to open the door for his mama and Abu.

Lea immediately looked at the driver to see if it was Aga or the other passenger only to be disappointed.

"Of course, why would he be here? If he were here, I'd know, he'd tell me. Why am I hoping anyway?"

As soon as they reached the place where Unique's band would play, she smiled. It's nice to watch them perform again because the chemistry they have while performing is brilliant and evident; she loves to watch people who are passionate on what they do.

They entered the place and saw people, most of whom are teenagers, chatting with each other, prolly waiting for the bands. As per Unique's information, there was already one band who performed. She felt bad that they missed it because traffic has always been a -- yes.

They went straight to the backstage where his bandmates were waiting for him.

There she saw them, playing around as if they are not performing tonight-- or they are just this good?
