Begin Again

chapter 1

Adeniah Klyn Monterey

I slowly strum my guitar as I roam my eyes beneath the stage, there I saw people whose jamming with me as I sing my song. Some are sitting on the bermuda grass and some are standing holding a banner with my face printed on it. There were even shouting for my name.

A swell of pride wheel up inside me.

A smirk form on my lips as I fasten  strumming on my electric guitar and habitually chewed my lips. I put a hold on strumming and reach for the mic.

Idol doesn't mean your doll to fuck with

I ≠ doll chorus

Habang kumakanta ay rinig na rinig ko ang dumadagundong na pinaghalo-halong  boses ng mga tao. I almost couldn't hear the guide in my earpiece. But I do like this feeling, I close my eyes for a sec to savour the moment and smile after opening them.

I prided it.

After the song ended, loud cheers from every corner of the bermuda triangle could be heard. This is an open live concert. This place, it was actually a public area but the team still decided to held the concert here.

"Let's remove these stickers, I bet you're feeling itchy." inabot niya sa'kin ang nakabukas na bote, and there's even a prepared straw for me. I spare him a glance and gulp large amount of water. I handed the almost empty bottle to Annita, my P.A. and walk towards my dressing room.

Sinalubong agad ako ng mga stylist at pinaupo before doing their thing. May nag-aayos sa buhok ko, mayroon din namang nagpupunas sa mga pawis and there's even someone fixing my makeup. And someone whose finding a suitable dress for me to wear at the fan meeting that'll took place later on.

"No, let's let them be. Ngayong araw lang naman ito. And it won't take them long, I'll drink my tablet para hindi masyadong makati."  sabi ko kay Clint sa salamin, my manager na ngayon ay nakatayo sa gilid ko.

I saw his frown deepened while also staring back at me. "May interview kapa bukas, better be safe than sorry. Ayaw kong mabulabog sa madaling araw para pumuntang hospital."

"It's your job no? You are paid to make sure that I'm not physically and mentally unstable," my lips rose nang makitang mas lalo pang nangunot ang noo niya.

Tatanda to ng maaga.

"Kaya nga pinatatanggal ko iyang mga stickers diyan sa balat mo, Klyn naman. Pwede bang makinig ka muna sa'kin," he exasperatedly mumbled.

Sigurado akong stress na stress na ito. I shrugged, unbothered.

I can almost hear his exasperated sigh down here. Tinignan ko siya mula sa kinauupuan ko and his also looking down at me. Gusto ko sanang tignan pa ang mala-adones niyang mukha pero mas nakuha ng adams apple niya ang atensyon ko.

My eyes were glued to it. Dagdagan pa ng sharp jawline niya then his slightly protruding veins, ansarap tuloy sa mata.

A feast to my eyes. Clearly, that's one of the most attractive part for me, a must criteria for a guy to be my ideal type.

"Eyes up Klyn." he coldly spatted.

Grrr... panira

"What?" maldita kong tanong dito. He didn't pay me any attention and motion the others to leave the room. I sigh at ibinalik ang tingin sa salamin. Tinignan ko ang sariling repleksyon at kung ano-anong pose ang ginawa.

I can hear a click from the doorknob kaya paniguradong nilock iyon ni Clint. I took a peck on him using the mirror at nakitang naglalakad na siya papalapit sa pwesto ko. I waited for him to appear at my side bago siya hinarap.
