"Hating the one thing you love is a pain worse than losing it." - Wynther Fynne Clemenceau
Wynther never had a dream-until he heard his father play the bass. In that moment, music became his purpose, his passion, his future. He dreamed of standing o...

But I didn't stop singing. I continued.
"My tears are freezing as I cry Beneath a winter morning sky Calloused fingers gripping tight? To the mess you left behind"
Hinayaan ko lang ang luha kong bumagsak habang kumakanta nang buong puso.
"We've never been apart I know, and now it ends with me alone As I turn the final page, you go"
Yeah. I'm all alone in this now. But also... not.
My mother is still with me.
"If all of you is all I'm left I promise that I won't forget I'll see you in the light of dawn The day I'm finally moving on"
My father is with me. His bandmates—who I also considered family. My friends that are here right now, even though we ended on a bad note before. I know that they still care.
And most of all, I know you're watching over me from where you are.
I'll make sure I make you proud.
"There's no goodbye for you and I You're somewhere watching at my side You're always here with me"
Natapos ang kanta kasabay ng recorded instruments. Tumigil ako sa pagtugtog ng bass at iminulat ang mga mata ko.
Bumungad sa akin ang mga tulala at natigilang mukha nina Rive, Elliot at Zeira. They were just staring at me like I had grown another head.
Pinunasan ko ang mga luhang patuloy pa ring tumutulo bago ibinalik ang tingin sa kanila.
I couldn't help but chuckle a little dahil ganoon pa rin ang reaksyon nila. Their mouths were even slightly parted from the shock.
I let out a small smile before taking a deep breath. My performance hasn't ended yet. Hindi lang iyon ang inihanda ko para sa kanila.
Tumikhim ako bago nagsalita. "When I was a kid, I was always envious of my classmates because they already knew what they wanted to do when they grew up. Naiinggit ako kasi they already had something they were passionate about. But then, one day, my mom took me to a concert."
Ngumiti ako nang maalala ang concert kung saan unang nahulog ang loob ko sa bass.
"It was a concert of The Reverie. It was my first time watching them, and I liked the song they played. But that was it. It didn't feel special—until... Nico, their bassist, my... father, did something with his bass. He did something really cool that completely captured my heart. And on that day, I fell in love with the bass."
I saw how their eyes widened the moment I said that Nico was my father.
"This bass that I'm using..." Tiningnan ko ang hawak ko at hinaplos ito ng marahan. "My father gave it to me. He told me this was the bass he used when he was just starting. He taught me how to play, and even his bandmates taught me how to play their respective instruments."
