Alas 12 na ng hatinggabi na makauwi si Melisa mula sa mini-concert. Bumungad sa kaniya ang ama na nagbabasa ng tabloid.
"I'm home." Bati niya.
"Did you enjoy?"
Enjoy? Sobra pa sa enjoy.
"Of course! Just the right thing to do before finals. Si mama po?"
"I'm happy to hear that! Umakyat na ang mama mo at nagpahinga. If you're hungry, may pagkain sa ref."
"I'm good po, aakyat na din ako to rest."
"Okay," anang papa niya at nginitian siya. "Good night."
"Likewise, papa."
Umakyat na si Melisa at nagmadaling maligo at nagbihis bago sumalampak sa kama. Pagod ang binti niya sa pagtayo for three hours and a half. But it's okay. Sobrang nag-enjoy naman siya.
Agad na kinuha niya ang cellphone mula sa pouch at sinearch ulit ang Facebook at IG account ni Raji.
Kanina on their way home, hinahanap niya ang account nito pero ang dami. Prolly posers.
Kaya ngayon she tried to search him again.
Tumalon ang puso niya sa tuwa nang makitang may recent post ito, 7 minutes ago.
"Sa wakas, nahanap ko na rin ang real account mo!"
She pressed the add friend button though she's unsure if he'd accept her. Sa dami ng friend request nito malabong maaccept ako, she thought.
She scrolled through her news feed on Facebook, IG, and Twitter. When she had enough, pumunta siya sa gallery at nireview lahat ng video na kuha niya kanina while Raji was singing.
She played Raji's performance with his unreleased composition, Kumunoy.
The song is almost inaudible dahil sa sigaw ng crowd.
He looked so cool on black, she thought. Hindi niya napansin na napapangiti siya while scrolling through her gallery. Puno 'yon ng mga pictures ni Raji, mostly are blurred.
She let out a chuckle. "There is no way I'm going to be a professional photographer," she said. "Wala akong matinong kuha! Tsk!"
She rised up and went to her keyboard. She turned it on and played a song.
She played a Chopin piece. Tomorrow is the start of their finals exam and this piece is one of their coverage.
Patapos na siya nang tumunog ang notifications ng phone niya.
Tinignan niya kung ano 'yon at halos mangatog ang tuhod niya nang makita kung ano 'yon.
It's a notification from Facebook and Twitter.
Raji Medina accepted your friend request.
Raji Medina followed you back!
"This is not happening!"
