Love in Music (Fly High Series #1)

Chapter 8

Abala ako ngayon sa pag-papatuloy kong pag-sulat ang kanta. It's already 1 am, di parin ako natutulog. I'm nervous para bukas. It's a big day for me dahil nga its my first ever singing contest. Yes it is.

Napatigil ako sa pagsusulat at agad kinuha ang aking cellphone.
I scrolled down for some showbiz news, expecting my mom.

'Elaine Arnaiz ft. Philip Ponce'

Mom's new released album? I don't even know that. Kailangan kong bilhin iyon bukas. I scrolled more.

'Arnaiz collaborating with The P. Comeback'

Ang dami naman yatang opportunities ni mommy ngayon. I'm so proud of her. I know she's happy of what she's doing now, for me and maybe for dad. He's my dad after all. Pinatay ko ang phone ko at nagpasya ng matulog.

The next morning, I woke up early. Naligo narin ako and just wear black skirt just above the knee, with white turtle neck top and matching it with my gray boots. I blower dried my hair and put curls at the end of it.

Naglagay narin ako ng lip and cheektint para di ako magmukhang maputla.

Paglabas ko ng room ay dumiretso na ako ng dining. Nagulat ako ng bahagya ng andon na si Lola with... Daddy?

"Good morning my princess, breakfast ka muna" dad uttered.

"Morning dad, morning...tanda "

Syempre diko pinarinig yung 'tanda' patay nanaman ako sa daddy ko. I smirked out of nowhere.

"How's school Lianne? I heard may event daw kayo?" Daddy habang tutok na tutok sya sakin.

I slowly bite the bacon. I nodded.
Agad naman akong kinabahan.

"Hmm what event is that?" si tanda habang nangingiti sya.

I rolled my eyes.

"Wala, just our campus fest" tipid kong sagot, I gave her a fake smile.

"Then? Did you join something like pageant?"
Si daddy habang iniinom ang coffee nya.

I took a sip of my juice. Nararamdaman kona talaga ang kaba. Does he know?

"No dad, kasama lang po ako sa pag-ayos sa booth ng block namin" I smiled at him.

He nodded.

"Good, 'cause I heard from my friend at Quezon na may mga contests daw such as dancing, pageants, and uhh 'singing'."

I looked away. I gulped. Feeling ko sasabog na ang puso ko sa kaba. He even emphasized singing.

"Yes pero I didn't join any of it" I lied.

"Good. Mabuti ng nagkakasundo tayo. I only want the best for you" he said.

"Tama tama! At wag kang gagaya sa ina mo" si tanda sumingit.

I stood up. That's it. I felt anger.

"Don't ever talk about my mom like that" I glared at her. I immediately walked out

"Lianne! Come back here!" I heard my dad's voice.

"I'm sorry dad, bye." at tuluyan na akong nagtungo sa lift.

Pagdating ng school ay abala na ang lahat sa mga contests na magaganap.
Pagpasok ko ng campus ay biglang nagring ang cellphone ko.

"Hello-"

"Hoy babae, saan kana? Dito ako sa gym, bilisan mo na!" si Chleo.

"oh teka, I'm on my way there!"
