Umuwi ako sa bahay ng tulala. Sa condo Sana ako magstay kaso iniisip ko kailangan ko ng tulong para bukas sa performance ko. Saktong pagpasok ko sa bahay nanduon na si kuya, matutulungan nya kaya ako?
"Oy Kei bat andito ka? I thought sa condo ka na? Magaling ka naman diba, oh baka nilagnat ka ulit?" nag-aalalang tanong nya.
"No Kuya I'm fine actually I have a big problem"
"Ano yon? Wag mong sabihing may boyfriend kana? Di kase ako maniniwala" sabay tawa pa nya.
"Hindi ah, bukas kase kakanta ako sa program, grade ko sa P.E yon Kuya, what will I do?" I said while pouting.
"Nako Kei problema nga iyan, sure ako bukas viral ka na with the hastag 'boses ng isang babae naging sanhi ng bagyo'" sabay hagalpak nya ng tawa.
"Kuyaaaaa, Im serious"
"Just kidding Kei, parang di ka marunong kumanta ah, nung bata ka pa nga palagi kayong nagjajamming ni Jayceon diba? Don't worry Kei, kaya mo yon!, Patulong ka kay Jayceon" he also suggested.
Pagkasabi ni kuya nun tinignan ko sya ng parang 'are you serious look' ko.
"Oo nga pala hindi pala pwede, pero Keisha kumakanta ka dati kaya sure akong kaya mo" seryoso nyang sagot.
"Matagal na kase yun Kuya eh, kinakabahan ako"
"You can do it!, Sige na akyat na ako magmomobile legend pa ako" he said.
"Lagi ka namang defeat kuya, anong rank mo? Grand Master?" asar ko sa kanya.
"Manang may naririnig ba kayong ipis na nagsasalita" he replied.
Umakyat na din ako sa kwarto ko pagkatapos namin mag-usap ni kuya. Marunong naman akong kumanta pero matagal na nung huli kong ginawa yon tsaka bata pa kami ni Jayceon nun.
should I call him? should I call him... I thought pero wag nalang siguro.
Kaya mo yan self, para sa grade yan,para sa future.. I kept on telling to my self.
I practice some songs bago ako nakatulog.

It's already 6pm and 7pm is the actual start of the program. I just wore a simple white t-shirts pair up with a black skirt and black rubber shoes and also a denim jacket to complete my look, I also bought my Black quilted bag.
"Kei relax kaya mo yan" Kyleigh said and cheer me up.
Kaiden was also here. "Manunuod kami dito, kayang-kaya mo yon" ngumiti sya sakin.
Do you enjoy the night? the host shouted and continue to hype the crowd. "Our next performer would be from the college of accountancy. Let's all welcome Miss Keisha Rosario" .
Eto na talaga...
"Go girl!" narinig kong sigaw ni Kyleigh bago ako umakyat sa stage.
"Oh there she is"
"Hello po" nanginginig pa yung boses ko. Sobrang daming tao ngayon, kung pwede lang akong tumakbo ginawa kona.
Para sa grade to... Para sa grade .. I keep on telling to myself.
"Okay guys, Miss Keisha will going to sing so let's give her a round of applause" the host continued.
"Hello, actually it's my first time to sing infront of you guys, para sa grade ko to so please bear with me" panimula ko.
Nagumpisa na tumugtog ang banda pero hindi ako nakasabay dahil kinakabahan ako so I gestured take 2.
"Okay mukang kinakabahan talaga si Miss, it's okay take 3" the host said.
Nakakahiya talaga pero sobrang kinakabahan ako pang take 3 ko na ito at tumahimik na ang buong crowd tila nag-aabang sila kung makasasabay na ba ako sa kanta this time, but apparently hindi parin.
It's already my take 4 nang biglang may umakyat na pamilyar na tao sa stage.
"Kei let's do it, just sing" Jayceon saves the day.
Sa ilang take ng banda alam kong alam na ni Jayceon ang kakantahin ko kaya he didn't bother to ask me.
Nagsimula na ayang magsalita sa microphone "Sorry guys I'm late, sorry Kei" panimula nya.
I mouthed him "Anong sorry?" nagtataka kong tanong.
He just ignored me and says "just sing".
The song was being played, kaya nagsimula nadin akong kumanta.
Bucket full of tears
Baby know I'm here
I'm here waiting
Close your precious eyes
And just realize
I'm still fighting
For you to be with me
Sit under this tree
And we can watch the sun rise
We can watch the sunrise
Habang kumakanta ako hindi ko mapigilang itanong sa isip ko kung bakit nandito ngayon si Jayceon kasama ko. Bakit nya ito ginagawa? But deep inside I know masaya ako dahil ito yung pagkakaton na nakasama ko ulit syang kumanta. When he sang his line, I know kinakabahan din sya but he managed to look directly into my eyes.
Wake up feel the air that I'm breathin'
I can't explain this feeling that I'm feelin'
I won't go another day without you
This song is one of my favorite song. This is also one of his favorite. Naalala ko pa dati na sa kanya ko din ito narinig at pag-uwi ko sa bahay sinearch ko agad yung lyrics.
I know it feels like no one's around
But baby you're wrong
Just get rid of that fear
Promise that I'm here
I'll never be gone
So baby come with me
We can fly away
And we can watch the stars shine
And baby you can be my love, oh
Wake up feel the air that I'm breathin'
I can't explain this feeling that I'm feelin'
I won't go another day without you, without you
Hold on, I promise it gets brighter
And when it rains, I'll hold you even tighter
I won't go another day without you, without you
And this is me tonight
There's no more games and no more lies
And I know it's right
'Cause of the way you look into my eyes
And when I hold you tight
The worries disappear, I'm glad you're in my life
Wake up feel the air that I'm breathin'
I can't explain this feeling that I'm feelin'
I won't go another day without you
Hold on, I promise it gets brighter
And when it rains, I'll hold you even tighter
I won't go another day without you, without you
And I won't I won't go another day
Without you..
As the song ends Jayceon manage to smile at me. Napuno ng palakpakan ang buong University dahil alam kong maganda talaga ang boses ni Jayceon. I mouthed him "thankyou" before he walks away. Nagmadali din akong bumaba ng stage para habulin sya.
"Sandali lang"
Lumingon sya sandali pero nagpatuloy padin sya sa paglalakad.
"Galit kaba sakin?" I shouted.
He suddenly stopped and said "Hindi".
"Umuwi kana Kei" he said before he walks away.
Hindi ko namalayan na umiiyak na pala ako. Alam kong mabigat para kay Jayceon yung ginawa nyang pagkanta kanina just to save me from embarrassment. Jayceon's father is a singer pero namatay ito nung 12 years old kami simula nun hindi na kumanta pa si Jayceon dahil naalala nya yung tatay nya, simula din nun hindi na din ako kumanta dahil alam kong everytime na kakanta ako maalala lang ni Jayceon yung tatay nya, ayokong malungkot sya. I know nasasaktan sya ngayon dahil sakin. Anong klase akong kaibigan?.
I just texted him "I'm sorry".
