"Chiv, come here. 'Wag mong lalapitan 'yang si Harold. Babaero 'yan." Tawag ni Yesh sa kapatid nitong babae. Agad namang tumayo ito sa kinauupuan at lumapit kay Yesh.

"Hindi ko naman siya nilalapitan, Kuya. Siya nga 'yong lapit nang lapit. He's annoying!" Mahinang bulong ni Chivian sa nakatatandang kapatid. Malakas na napatawa naman si Faniesh sa sinabi ng kapatid bago nito ginulo ang buhok. "Good girl."

"I'm not a dog, Kuya!" Iritadong singhal ni Chivian bago nito hinawi ang kamay ni Yesh sa kaniyang buhok. Faniesh pinched her little sister's cheek before he called her for their performance. "Let's go, Rin."

Lumingon naman siya sa katabi na nakatingin ngayon kay Yesh na nakalahad ang kamay sa kaniya. She softly squeezes his hand just enough to get his attention. "Bitaw na. Magpeperform na kami." Saglit pa itong tumitig sa kaniya kaya hinalikan niya ito sa pisngi at ngumiti. Ngumiti naman ito pabalik sa kaniya bago binitawan ang kaniyang kamay kahit pa halatang labag sa loob nito ang pagbitaw.


I dreamed a dream
Of you and me
I dreamed that we
Were young

And in that dream
We sailed the sea
To a land
We loved


Aerin instantly gleamed when she spotted his brother watching her from a distance. Kylo softly smiled back at her before he walks towards the table where the whole band is resting.


What a wonderful scene
There was such a nice breeze
All the memories were free
And the birds they were singing for us
Singing for us

As we walked with bare feet
In a field by the sea
There was just you and me
No directions and no need to rush
No need to rush


She, then, looked at Ron who's staring at her lovingly. She's on the stage, but she saw how his eyes glistened when their eyes met.


I got lost while the sunlight was painting us gold
I got lost hoping that we would never get old
I got lost when you walked with my hand in your hand
I got lost when you asked me if I'd like to dance

I got lost in the whispering sound of the breeze
I got lost in a daydream of silence and peace
I got lost in the moment, the space in between
I got lost, I got lost in the dawning in the spring


She sang the song as if she were singing it for him. They'd been going out for seven months. Their relationship has gotten better and better since Day 1 and will continue to do so until the end of time. She admires how they are unhurriedly getting to know each other deeply.


We took a seat
Just you and me
Laying in the sun

We made belief
That we could be
Anything we'd want

We ran back through the trees
Staring up through the leaves
Not a cloud to be seen
And the birds were still singing for us
Singing for us
