(Xander's POV)

Matapos kung damputin ang cellphone ko, I immediately went out para hindi nila marinig at malaman kung ano ang pinag-uusapan namin ni Mommy.

Yes, you read it right. Mommy ko 'yong kulit nang kulit sa pagtawag. Alam kong oras na sagutin ko ito, my choice will not be valued anymore. Minsan naitanong ko na nga lang sa sarili ko kung ano ba ang purpose ng pagiging democratic ng bansang ito ehh ako nga hindi mapagbigyan kahit sa sarili kong decision.

"But mom! I can't go there in Australia. Alam ni'yo namang may celebration pa ang banda namin dito."

Long distance call straight form Australia 'yong ginawa ng mama ko. Doon na kasi sila nakatira ni Daddy. Kailangan nilang asikasuhin 'yong business namin doon. Nais niya lang naman akong pauwiin as soon as possible because of my father's immediate request.

"Xander, you hav eno choice. Your flight has already been booked. Sa ayaw at sa gusto mo,

you'll be here on Saturday."

"Mom, I said I can't and I don't want to go there."

"You can and you will. Your father's decision is final. Gusto man kitang kampihan, alam mong hindi pwede. I'll end this call. See you on soon anak."

At ayun, naputol na nga ang kabilang linya. I don't really know why it's really that urgent  para papuntahin nila ako sa Australia. But once my father speaks, lahat dapat masunod. Ganyan siya ka superior and powerful. Isa rin ito sa dahilan kung bakit these past days ay hindi ako masyadong makatulog sa kaiisip.

How can I sleep if I keep on thinking how will I say it to the band especially to Cassandra?

My sister already warned me that this is going to happen. She did not give the full details but she said that I need to prepare myself and it really sucks this time.

The day of my flight is also the day of the band's first anniversary.


"Oh jeeezzz. I hate this!"

Alam niyo ba kung ano ang sunod kong ginawa?

Sa sobrang inis ay pinatid ko lang naman ang pader causing my right foot to feel the pain.


"Ouch! Jeeezz!"

See? alam ko namang masakit makipaglaban sa bagay na may matibay na pundasyon, ehh ginawa ko pa talaga. Feeling Super Saiyan kasi ako ngayon. Yung tipong nagcocolor gold yong bawat hibla ng aking shiny hair dahil sa sobrang inis.

After receiving that call, I went inside the room acting as if nothing  happened but the guilt I feel inside is killing me softly (inspired by a song..hahaha)... I don't have the strenth to tell them everything.

*buntong hininga*

*open the door*

--tentenenenenen--

0_0 stress na talaga ako mga dudes!

♫♫♫ After all the rain

And after all the pain

A brand new day is here for you to start

You right fix my soul

It's shining in my heart

A brand new day is here for us to start

You and me together, its goanna be like harmony

You and me forever, its goanna be a symphony

I've been waiting

Waiting for so long

I've been longing

I've   been hoping for you to come along

I've finally found my song and its you

I've been searching

I've been waiting for someone like you

Many times I failed

Falling almost every time

You have your hand to dry my tears in my eyes

And every day that pass

Were spent waiting for you

You save this heart of mine

With love so true

Faults and faults together as if it my darkest days

Without your light I抳e lost

I can never find my way

I've been waiting

Waiting for so long

I'vebeen longing

I've been hoping for you to come along

I've finally found my song and its you

I'vebeen searching

I've been waiting for someone like you ♫♫♫

Parang nawala ang lahat ng mga iniisip ko nang pagbukas ko ng pinto ay narinig ko agad ang tinig ni Cass na kumakanta. She really has this angelic voice that could stop a man's world turning for a moment.

Isa pala ito sa mga kakantahin ni Cass this coming Saturday but sad to say, I will not be able to hear and watch her singing. Ito na siguro 'yong last time na maririnig ko siyang kumanta.

Agad akong pumalakpak.

(clap.clap.clap) --> mas maganda kasi kapag may sound effects.

"Galing talaga ng bestfriend ko. Ayos!" agad ko siyang nilapitan and as usual, ginulo ko na naman 'yong beautiful hair niya. "Kailangan ganyan ka din kagandang kumanta this Saturday ha!"

"Ano pa't naging bestfriend mo ako. Mana-mana lang ito. Gagalingan ko talaga. First anniversary kaya natin 'yon. Basta promise ninyong tatlo na present kayo kung hindi magkakaroon talaga ng WWWIII dito sa Pilipinas."

"Sure na sure naman talagang nandoon tayong tatlo." sagot ni Kazuo.

It took almost three hours before natapos 'yong practice namin. Napagdesisyunan ng grupo na magkakaroon daw ng last practice bukas.

Go naman ako. Yon na lang ang last day na makikita ko sila.

I choose to spend my whole day tomorrow together with them making unforgettable memories I can cherish when I'm already away from the band eventhough they don't have the idea what is going to happen.

The day after tomorrow, I would choose to have a silent farewell for them. It is not my plan to ruin our day on Saturday but I don't really have a choice.

I really don't deserve this kind of sadness :(
