-- ASHI --
"Congratulations on a successful launch!"
Our friends greeted us. Wala pang 10 minutes since Nights of December was released but it already gained a hundred thousand listeners.
"Baka Ashi Geronimo ang nagsulat niyan!" Cleo, my bandmate and one of my best friends, praised my hardwork.
I've been writing this song for years and I can't believe that we produced it already.
"Are you ready?" Stella, Cleo's girlfriend and my best friend among all of my best friends, asked.
We're going out kasi para sa launch party ng Nights of December. I just wore a black one-piece that I paired with white sneakers. I tied my hair into a ponytail before I took my favorite mini handbag from Chanel.
"Sana all maganda!" Stella complimented me when she saw my final look.
"You're beautiful too, babe." I gave her a genuine smile.
Pumunta na kami sa ballroom where our team was waiting for us. Of course, we couldn't do this alone. Special thanks to our producers, directors, editors, and other staff who helped us make Nights of December a success.
On the way to the ballroom, may nadaanan kaming hall nila Stella na perfect daw sa OOTD ko. Stella volunteered to take pictures habang dinidirect naman ako ni Cleo.
"Look on your right, back straight, and rest your hands." Cleo directed me really well.
I took pictures of them too bago kami pumunta sa ballroom. When we got there, it rained confetti.
"Congratulations, Ashi!" They greeted me since this was the first song that I wrote for our band.
We congratulated one another before we started to eat our dinner. It lasted for a few hours before we started to bid farewell to our producers. The dinner was quite formal but now that it's over, it's club time!
We went to a club nearby. We were dancing like crazy while drinking a lot of alcohol.
"Dahan-dahan!" Cleo scolded me when I finished glass after glass but I didn't listen to her.
"Broken hearts loving nights
I know it'd be bad for me to stay
I can't fight it to change anymore
What if I didn't choose to leave?
Would it still be fine if I said I love you still?"
I sang a few lines from our song. The atmosphere went dark all of a sudden. The six of them were staring at me as tears stream down my face.
"We should go home," Jenna suggested after seeing me wasting myself again.
"No!" I denied. "We won't let her ruin our launch party. Let's enjoy!"
I can feel how heavy the situation has become. I can see my friends looking at each other while I continued dancing like crazy in the middle of the dance floor. I want this to be a fun celebration with them but why does Magui's memory have to ruin everything?
Nagising ako when the sun's rays hit my eyes. Andito na ko sa hotel room ko, all alone because my friends are in a relationship with one another.
If Magui didn't cheat on me, she should've been here laying on my side.
