He is marching back and forth inside that small dressing room where everyone is also waiting. Kinakabahan is an understatement sa nararamdaman niya.
"Matt pwede naman umupo!"He heard rachel said, one of sarah's bestfriends.
"Oo nga, kami nahihilo sayo bro eh"Christian jumped in, shaking his head.
"I can't!"Matteo replied as he continue pacing.
He looked around, marami rami sila sa loob ng dressing room kaya medyo masikip.
"Man, I need some air! Come with me?"Tanong nya sa mga kaibigan nya pero umiling ang mga ito.
"Can't bro, Makikita tayo! Just sit, okay? You'll be fine"Marlon replied, his bestfriend.
"What if she say no?"He asked worriedly.
"Man, she loves you alright? Just calm down"His friend replied.
He calm down a bit. He sat down beside his friends and stayed silent, still very much nervous. He observed everyone in the room. They're all wearing white shirts with letters in the back. This is gonna be the cheesiest thing na gagawin nya in his entire life but its okay.
"All for her"He reckons.
A loud knock has been heard, making everyone stayed silent. Sarah's mom was the one who open the door.
"Are you guys ready?"Mr. M asked, grinning. Then he turned to matt; "Ano matt?"He asked again and smiled at him.
"Lets get this over with!"Matteo replied energetically. He stood up and everyone cheered and wish him goodluck.
"You'll be fine bro! See you lateer!"Some of his friends cheered.
Kabado. Sobrang kabado. He felt a hand on his shoulder as he walked through the audition studio. Yep, he's going to audition and ask his beautiful girlfriend to marry her. And he hopes it will go well.
When they reached the studio, Matteo stop walking. He inhales deeply and exhales very loudly, earning a shh from the staffs who knew his plan. Umakyat na sya ng stage as the staffs are ssshing the audience and motioning them to stayed silent and they did.
Matteo's POV
"Be good!"I heard Coach bamboo shouted from the chair, making me more nervous.
I can feel eyes from the audience and it doesn't feel good. It makes me feel like I'm about to sh*t my pants and it's not a good feeling, trust me.
I took a deep breath as the song started playing, our song. All of me.
"What would I do without your smart mouth?"
As I sang the lyrics, I couldn't help but imagined every good memories we've had together. I closed my eyes and just let my heart sing the song and the next thing I know, the song already ended.
I open my eyes and see Ms. Lea smiling at me proudly and I smiled back. Bamboo and Apl too. Si Sars nalang ang hindi umiikot. Well, we turn her chair off, that wasn't an accident, that was planned. I signal the staff to turn it on and when they did, she finally turn and saw me.
In that moment, I can't do anything but stare at her. I just stood in the stage with a flowers in my hand, completely amazed by how pretty she is in that pink dress in that red chair. She's always been pretty, I know that but this is different. Its like, I'm seeing her for the first time all over again. I can feel my heart beating at its unnormal rate. I can butterflies in my stomach. Its a horrible feeling but in a good way. In a very very good way.
