Samaniego Side Story 3: Missed Miss Missy

Missed 11

you among the stars~

People come to your life in the most unexpected times. They come and give you wings so you can fly high. They help straighten you out, waking you up from a  suffocating situation. Waking you uo from a dream you thought you were living in and giving you the happiness you never thought your heart will even feel.

My late mother used to tell that once in our lives, we will meet those kinds of people who will make us realize that there is so much more than just living your life. Na marami rawng taong magiging parte ng buhay natin at kahit na ano pa ang mangyati ay mananatili sila sa puso mo.

Marami na akong naranasan sa buhay. Kung saan-saan na ako nakarating, kung sinu-sino na ang mga taong nakasalamuha at nakilala ko. I've been jumping from one place to another, escaping destiny's game. Kasi ang pagtakas lang ang natatanging paraan ko para hindi na mas gumulo pa ang mga bagay-bagay.

"--And we are considering the big BEATS Logo in the back for the whole durationg of the concert because we think their fans deserve a little treat. So, any questions? Suggestions? Violent reactions?" Nabalik ako sa wisyo nang marinig ko ang boses ni Big Boss. Naka-upo siya sa bandang harapan ko habang nakaharap sa projector na nasa harapan namin.

"What about we remove fire effects, sir? I mean, isn't it dangerous? And it's too... bright." Napatingin ang lahat, including me, kay Eunice the British Girl who was the one who spoke. Kunot noo ko siyang tinignan tsaka ako napatingin kay Seojin na nakatayo ngayon sa tabi ng malaking screen dahil katatapos niya lang mag-present.

"The fire effects are used for their songs. It's an important factor to emphasize the songs." It was Ruk who was standing beside Seojin who remained silent. Ako naman ay napanguso. Hindi naman ata pwedeng tanggalin yun.

"That's given. However, we should focus on their song not on the effects used?" Napangiwi ako dahil sa sinabi niya. Bakit ng ulit siya nagsasalita?

The effects are very important because it's a live concert. Their fans will be looking forward to the effects we will provide for their songs.

"I understand your point, Miss Eunice. But, we've been using the fire effects ever since. It would be unusual if we won't in the upcoming concert." I saw how Seojin's jaw tightened as his fist turned to a ball. Napansin ko rin ang pasimpleng pag-irap ni Eunice kaya naman ay pasimple rin kong umingos. Attitude talaga ang babaeng 'to.

"The more reason why we should remove it!! It's distracting!!!" Natahimik ang buong kwarto na kanina'y nagkaroon ng bulong-bulungan dahil sa punto ni Eunice at Seojin dahil sa konting pagtaas ng boses ni Eunice. I took a glance at Big Boss and he looks displeased while looking at the projected datas. He took a sigh before clearing his throat as he stood from his seat. All eyes were on him because he was unusually surrounded by a cold aura making all of us nervous all of the sudden. Nabibilang lang ang mga pagkakataong ganito siya. Our boss is usually shining and smiling. Kaya nakakakaba kapag seryoso n siya.

"There is no need to raise your voice in here, Miss Eunice. And there is no need to lose your temper, Seojin." Anito tsaka nagsimulang maglakad papunta sa harap. Ruk glanced at Seojin who is now bowing his head. Gusto ko namang tawanan si Eunice dahil sa sinabi ni big boss pero syempre hindi ko ginawa dahil malalagot ako pagnagkataon. Baka sa akin pa mapunta ang galit niya.

"I apologize, boss." Seojin politely stated before looking at big boss. Big boss just nodded before facing us all.

"I understand all the concerns. Thank you for your suggestion, Miss Eunice. But, we can't remove the fire effects because I really love that effect. Plus, the boys themselves chose that one. They only ask me small things and I don't want to take that way from them. They are the reason why this company is at its peak, top of the top three entertainments in South Korea, am I right, Sisa?" Napakurap-kurap ako dahil sa sinabi ni big boss. Mabilis akong napatango tsaka nag-thumbs up dahil hindi ako ready sa biglang pagbaling sa akin ng atensyon niya. I heard some of my colleagues laughing kaya napanguso ako. Talaga naman.
