"Fuck, I'm running late." Sabi ko na di mapakali.

I'm attending the boards weekly meeting. If you may ask if what is my profession, I'm a lawyer and yes, I'm a part of the band Bezoart. Right now, di ako mapakali, since i have to be present sa first rehearsal. Even if i own the law firm, di ako pwedeng mag pabaya at ibigay nalang sakanila ang mga gawain dito.

' Lumipas ang ilang minuto ay natapos din ang meeting.'

"Dismissed. Thank you everyone for your efforts and doing a great job. See you guys, next week" sabi ko at tumayo na para lumabas.

'Dumaan muna ako sa lobby bitbit ang gitara ko to inform them to call me, when there are active cases, para di na mag ka dugtong dugtong at ma bawasan narin yung trabaho ng iba.'

After informing them, pumunta nako ng rehearsal.

'Papasok na sana ako ng makita ang ka band mate ko.'

"Hey brix, anong ginagawa niyo dito sa labas?" Lapit ko sa kaniya.

" Hi Jiju , late ka ah" sabi niya at tumayo.

" Sorry sa inconvenience, did you guys wait long ba?" Sabi ko.

"Hindi naman HAHAHAH. Seryoso mo masiyado madam. Actually, kakarating lang din namin." Sagot ni Brix.

"By the way, na una na pala si Rafa. Excited siya masiyado eh" Dagdag niya pa.

"Is that so? Why don't we continue our way inside, and you guys don't have to wait for me outside. It's quite cold pa naman out here, baka magkasakit pa kayo." Seryosong sabi ko at nauna nang pumasok.

I'm not very affectionate, even to my close friends and relatives and apparently, they just got used to it.

' After a series of steps nakarating din kami sa rehearsals.'

'Binuksan ko ang pinto, habang sunod na mang pumasok ang iba pa naming grupo at na datnan ko si Rafa na kinakausap ang mga tao sa loob regarding sa rehearsal'

" Ah yeah! Ano nga yung band name niyo?" Tanong ng babae.

"It's Bezoart, miss" sagot ko naman at sumandal sa pinto.

'Lahat sila ay napatingin sa akin, tulala, maliban sa isa'

" Babeeeesss! " bigla nalang tumakbo si Lusher at tumalon sa akin. Mabuti nalang at nasalo ko siya.

'Hinalikan niya ang buong mukha ko na para bang ilang years na kami na di nag kikita'

" What are you doing here!?" Tanong niya.

" Don't ever do that stunt again, Lusher. Paano kung di kita nasalo? Kundi bali ng buto yung ma aabot mo?  Do you understand?" Seryosong sabi ko sa kaniya at pina baba.

'Nag pout lang siya at nag sorry sakin'

"And to answer your question, I'm here for the rehearsal. Stop pouting, di bagay sayo" ngising sabi ko at nilevel ang height niya, habang hawak ang ulo niya.

You might be wondering kung bakit kami close? She's my best friend slash cousin. We're very much inseparable and very open to one another.

"Tangina neto, kala mo kung sino, tangal naman angas niya kay ano-" di ko na pinatapos ang sinabi niya at nilagay ang daliri ko sa bibig niya. 

" Stop spitting nonsense and continue sa rehearsals mo." Sabi ko nalang at nilagpasan siya.


'Pumunta ako sa crew members niya para ma discuss namin further yung rehearsals, baka kasi makaka distorbo kami'

"Hi, may i know kung sino yung crew leader niyo?" Tanong ko ng makalapit ako.

"I'm the crew leader." Nag salita
ang isang babae.

" Nag salitaang isang babae

"Hi. Are you informed about our rehearsals here?" Sabi ko.

"Yes, I'm informed about it." Sagot naman nito.

"That's good. Actually, we're here to get your permission. We're kinda loud sometimes and i know that you need to be focused on your practice and needed to hear the music clearer." Sabi ko nang seryoso.

"Okay lang ba talaga for you na we practice here? Don't worry, no hard feelings. I heard naman kasi na you guys have an upcoming competition." Dagdag ko pa.

" Since both of our teams, needs music, we should hati nalang the time by schedule, para di na mag sama sama. What do you say?" Tanong niya.

"I'm fine with anything. By the way, can i get your name, miss?" Tanong ko.

"I'm Bada, Bada Lee. How about you?" Sabi niya at nag lahad ng kamay niya.

" I'm Jiju Kim , pleasure to meet you. And here are my band members. I would like you guys to meet , Rafa, Brix, Brent and Asher." Sabi ko while shaking her delicate hands.

"These are my crew members, Lusher, Minah, Tatter, Kyma, cheche and Soweon" sagot niya naman after shaking my hands and smiled at me.

"Nice to meet you guys" sabi ko nalang.

" So, uhm, mag pre - prepare nalang kami dun. Goodluck." Sabi ko sabay turo ng kabilang bahagi ng room.

'pag ka tapos  ko yung sabihin, nag move na kami sa side at nag continue na sila sa pag practice'

'5 minutes later, on break na ang Bebe,  at nag simula na kaming ma pa tugtog.'

'We played our original song, do I wanna know. I started the intro like usual since I'm the lead guitarist and vocal'

'Habang nag tutugtog ang kami, di ma iwasan na tumingin ng mga dancers sa gawi namin.'

" Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift
The type that sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you're in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee" Kanta ko sabay tingin kay Bada na di ko namalayan na nakatingin na sakin.

I felt that spark after making an eye contact, and I know she felt it too.

The song title is Do I wanna know by ArticMonkey
