Sirius: My First Love (Band Series #1)

Prologue

"First Love never dies."

A very common quotation but never gets old.  I never understood the meaning itself pero nang maranasan kong magmahal sa unang taong hindi ko alam na mamahalin ko ng sobra, I realized it was true indeed.

I did all the things I can do to forget him. I even flirt with different guys everyday, make myself busy, travelled a lot, but I always find myself missing him even more.

Kahit saan ako pumunta, lagi ko siyang nakikita. Kahit sa iniinom kong Frappè literal na nakapaskil ang mukha niya sa cup. Just how the hell can I forget him?

"Hello there my unemployed best friend," bungad sakin ni Yzel at umupo sa harap ko suot-suot ang kanyang mapang-asar na ngiti. I just sipped my drinks  at tinitigan lang siya.

She seems tired.

"Unemployed but I'm enjoying my life unlike you, stress na stress sa buhay," I rebuke which made her lose the smile drawn in her face. Since she started working at her Dad's company, she never had the chance to take a rest even in just a day. She's working too hard which is not good for her health.

"Stressed but atleast I have a boyfriend. Unlike you, still inlove with your First Love who can't never be yours." Tiningnan ko siya ng masama.

Mapanakit masyado eh.

"Bitch please. I already moved on," I said full of confidence.

Well, I'm trying. I just don't want her to worry about me so I lied and the fact that I'm still in the process of getting over him is already considered that I already moved on.

... for me.

I crossed my legs and turned my gaze at the window of the coffee shop. Ayokong makita ang pagmumukha ni Yzel dahil naiirita ako. She'll just keep messing with me for sure.

"Really?" she asked obviously mocking me.

"Really."

"Why aren't you looking at me?"

"Because you're ugly," I directly said. She laughed really hard after I replied kaya mas lalo akong nainis. What's up with her?

"Okay I get it. Naka-move on ka na sa kanya. Fine." I finally looked at her again nang kagatin niya ang sinabi ko. She's acting really weird. Hindi ito nagpapatalo sa akin eh.

Mamaya pa ay may inilapag siyang dalawang ticket sa mesa at namuo nanaman ang mga ngiti niyang parang may binabalak na kung ano.

"Bago ka bumalik sa Paris, attend muna tayong concert."

"Himala. You have time for this now. Wala kang trabaho?"

"Syempre meron. Gabi naman yan kaya makakapunta ako," sambit niya kaya kinuha ko na lang ang isang ticket. Bumilis bigla ang tibok ng puso ko nang mabasa kung kaninong concert ang dadaluhan namin.

Elipsis

I bitterly laughed. "You've got to be kidding me." Inilapag ko pabalik ang ticket at agad na umiling. There's no way I'm going to that concert.

There's no way I'm going to see him again.

He's happy now. He fulfilled his dreams, he has the same career together with his First Love.

Who am I to interfere their life again?

"I thought you already moved on?" she said obviously testing me. This girl..

"I did!" defensive na sabi ko kaya napasigaw ako ng wala sa oras.

"Then what's the big deal? Manonood lang naman tayo ng concert."

"I'm busy."

"I know you're not."

"I'm heading to Paris tomorrow morning."

"The concert will be tonight."

Malalim akong bumuntong hininga. Hindi niya ako titigilan hangga't hindi ako pumapayag. I just knew her really well.

"Bakit ba gustong gusto mong pumunta?" iritado kong tanong.

"Freyah gave me these two tickets. Siya ang bagong make up artist ng Elipsis and she wants us to see her masterpiece with these boys."

I bet not. She knew what happened in the past and she's planning something. Freyah, Freyah, you really like playing games my friend.

"Maghanap ka na lang ng ibang kasama. I'm not in the mood to attend." I tried to act like I'm in a bad mood. I even crossed my arms and didn't smile hoping she'll fall for it.

I won't go not until he'll tell me to attend.

Which is impossible so never mind.

"C'mon Serenity..." I shooked  my head. No one's gonna changed my decision. I said what I said.

While she's trying to convince me, napukaw ang atensyon ko sa TV. The most well-known boy group of the Philippines called 'Elipsis' is being interviewed now. Speaking of.

They looked so dashing and decent with their formal coats specially the guy at the center. His heart-shaped smile is still bewitching and not to be biased but his visuals were down to earth. His blonde hair, pointed nose and red thin lips plus his strong jawline makes him shine the most among them.

"You've been out of the country for almost half year because of your world tour concert, right?" the interviewer asked.

"Yes we are. This is the last day of our concert for the Love Warning Era so we're gonna make it special for our Filipino fans," he stated with certainty.

"Since tonight will be your special concert, did you invite your special persons too?" The rest of the member answered. Most of them regard their family as their special persons but he answered exquisitely.

"I didn't invite my special person yet because I don't know where in the world she is." Natawa ang interviewer, members ng Elipsis at ang mga tao rito sa coffee shop dahil sa sagot niya.

Sana all special person.

"... but if she's watching right now," he stopped talking and looked intensely at the camera na animo'y nakikipag-usap ang mga mata niya. That gaze of him still have a strong effect on me and it always makes my heart beat wild kahit nasa screen lang siya.

"I want to invite her to attend our concert because no one knows how much I missed her."
