(Magnus Haven #1) Fighting For His Name (COMPLETED)

Chapter 30

Seeing Rey holding and playing his bass guitar is everything. I can sense that their music is the one he really treasure in his life. Naalala ko iyong sinabi sa akin ni tita na naririnig niya noong bata pa si Rey sa banyo na kumakanta. And when they decided to give him a gift for his elementary graduation, he's really happy because it is a guitar. Then she said, after they bought him guitar, he starts compose his songs.

All of them are truly in-depth to what they are doing. Raj is born to be a singer. That's why he's the lead vocalist of the Midnight Cullen. His voice suits the genre of their band, and it's overwhelming that they are not just sticking to one genre.

I knew all of their unreleased songs. Pinaparinig sa akin nilang lahat, they are asking me if it's okay or what. Na para bang may alam ako sa ginagawa niya when in fact, I don't. Basta ang alam ko, magaganda lahat ng sinusulat nila. All of them have their own compositions, and I can't wait for them to release it.

Nakatitig lang ako sa kanila habang nagpeperform. Nakikisabay ang audience, ang iba ay kumukuha ng video, may umiiyak, may sumasabay kahit na ang ingay ng speaker. Hindi maiwasan ng puso ko na maging masaya. This is just the starting line.

After this, tuloy-tuloy na sila sa paglabas para makilala sila ng lahat. They are known to the country because of their first single. It was written by Rey. And they will have a new single.. probably next month? Hindi na ako makapag-hintay, and the fans probably, too.

Hindi ko lubusang maisip kung bakit nalulungkot si Rey dahil sa doon. He should be happy that they are slowly being recognized by people. May mga fixed schedule na sila, visits sa isang network, guesting and marami pa. I feel like it is all planned. Probably direk planned everything so pretty and quick. And dahil napagdesisyunan nila na magfofocus na sila sa career nila after school, mukhang tuloy-tuloy na talaga ang exposure nila.

Tumulo na pala ang luha ko. Hindi ko maiwasan na matawa sa sarili dahil sa iniisip. I'm just happy that their dreams are slowly becoming real. I look like a proud mom standing here, watching them perform. I hope Rey won't feel the same way again.

I want him to think about himself, even for now. I wasn't there when he build his dream up. So he shouldn't be sad that he'll lose me when his dreams are the one in the brink of danger. I want him to know that I won't go.. Na hindi ako aalis kahit na busy na sila.

Just like what they're saying, his dreams are also my dreams.

The event started at five in the afternoon. It's almost seven in the evening, almost thirty minutes nang nasa stage ang banda. I don't want to sound bad but the audience are dead when the band's are not yet going up. But when they already did, the whole place shaken.

Wala akong upuan sa gilid ng stage kaya nang maramdaman ko na sobrang ngawit na ako tumayo, bumalik ako sa backstage. Naupo muna ako at pinikit ang mata. I can't stop myself from being sleepy, I am tired. We're all tired. Ang sakit kaya buhatin noong drum set ni Sean!

Dahil hindi puwedeng mapagod ang banda kasi nga kakanta pa sila, bawal sila mapagod kaagad habang wala pa sila sa stage or what. Dahil gusto ko talagang tumulong at ayaw kong maging pabigat sa lahat, tumulong ako kanina magbaba ng gamit ng lahat. Tulong-tulong na kaming lahat pero nakakapagod na talaga.

When I feel a lot nicer than a while ago, lumabas na ako uli. Nanood hanggang matapos. Tumulong ako sa stage para ibaba iyong mga ginamit nila. Dagdag hirap dahil ang dilim, pinatay kasi nila iyong ilaw kasi hindi lang naman ang Midnight Cullen ang bisita ng festival na 'to.

Nang mababa na lahat, nang masiguro na okay na ay natatawa kaming bumuntong hininga. Binigyan kami saglit ng tubig at hinayaan na magpahinga. Hindi pa kami puwede bumalik sa hotel hangga't hindi natatapos ang festival.
