" Lawa lah kau " sebaik sahaja ayat itu habis , Ashraff menutup mulutnya. Aisehman , macam mana mulut ni boleh jujur sangat ?

Mellisa yang mendengarnya terus pandang tempat lain. Pipinya berona merah.

" A-a ... Ha , jom kita pergi dewan " Ashraff bangun cover malu. Dia acah-acah betulkan rambut.

Mellisa hanya mengekori dari belakang. Dia mengukir senyuman.

-------------------------

" Okey guys. Tinggal korang berdua je. Kejap lagi dah start. Jangan nervous ea guys. Goodluck ! " ujar Khai sebelum mengenyitkan matanya.

" Thanks Khai " Mellisa mengucapkan terima kasih. Khai terus beredar ke bahagian PA System.

" Weyy , aku nervous gila ! " Mellisa menggosokkan tangannya.

" Ala , rilekslah. Ni baru budak-budak sekolah kita. Belum budak sekolah luar lagi " Ashraff berkata seraya membetulkan kotnya.

" Aik ? Tinggi betul cita-cita nak menang ? " Mellisa menyindir.

" Eh ni Ashraff Khairie laa. Masuk apa pun menang laa " Ashraff buat muka bangga.

" Ceh , podah ! " Mellisa gelak kecil.

-------------------------

" Dipersilakan , Ashraff Khairie dan Mellisa Azzahra ! " kemudian para penonton menepuk tangan.

Dewan terus gelap. Tiba-tiba satu lampu kecil di atas pentas terpasang. Kelihatan Ashraf berdiri membelakangi penonton. Muzik sudah mula kedengaran. Dia mula menyanyi.

" You know I want you

It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied "

Ashraff pusing menghadap penonton.

" You claim it's not in the cards
Fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny ? "

Lampu backup berkelip-kelip mengikut nada lagu.

" What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight "

Tiba-tiba ada lagi satu lampu dari arah bertentangan. Terlihat Mellisa yang sedang berjalan ke arah Ashraff.

" You think it's easy
You think I don't want to run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why
Because we're able to be
Just you and me
Within these walls
But when we go outside
You're going to wake up and see that it was hopeless after all "

Kemudian , lampu berkelip mengikut nada lagu.

" No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight
