Tale of a Superstar

Chapter 8

Bigla naman napatingin saken si Cielle na parang takang-taka at hindi alam kung ano pinagsasasabi ko. Si Lizzie naman mukhang nagets na ko

“Oh, so sya pala” sabi ni Lizzie at tumingin kay Cielle sabay ngiti

“Huh? Cous ano pinagsasasabi mo jan?” tanong naman sakin ni Cielle

Ann Gracielle Campbell. Yan full name ng pinsan ko. Magpinsan kami nian sa side ni mama. Sya ang closest pinsan ko ever. Minsan nga parang hindi na magpinsan turingan namen. Para na kase kaming magkapatid. Syempre magkalapit ng age at pareha ng gusto, kaya nagclick

“Haha. I’ll explain sa loob Cielle. Tara. Tara Lizzie” sabi ko sabay pasok na kames a loob

“Ayan mukhang nahanap nio na pala” bungad ni tita kase napansin na nia siguro na kasama na namen anak nia pumasok. Gala kase ‘to hahaha

“Oh hi Rave at Gale nandyan pala kayo” bati ni Cielle. Wala talaga syang kaide-ideya sa mga susunod na mga mangyayari. I’m about to change her life harhar

“Halloo halloo” – Rave

“Hey ya!” – Gale

“Sino naman sya?” turo ni Cielle kay Rowell

May binulong naman si Lizzie kay Rowell resulta na mapatango-tango naman si Rowell. Ano meron sa dalawang ‘to?

“So” sabi ni Rowell sabay tayo at lakad sa direksyon ni Cielle “I’m Rowell Perez. So you’re Ann Gracielle if I’m not mistaken right?” sabi ni Rowell sabay nakipagkamay kay Cielle. Tinanggap naman ni Cielle un

“Uh, yeah yes. How did you know my name though?” sabi ni Cielle sabay tawa ng alanganin. Ngaun mukhang alam ko na kung ano ung binulong ni Lizzie kay Rowell

“So what can I call you? Ann? Gracielle?” sabi ni Rowell ignoring her question

“Cielle’s fine” sabi naman ni Cielle ng alanganin parin. Tumingin naman sakin si Cielle ng questioning look. Ngumiti na lang ako sakanya ng matindi. Soon Cielle. You’ll know real soon

“Oh right Cielle. Now Cielle, do you mind singing for us? Kahit isang verse lang will do” sabi naman ni Rowell. Nagkatinginan naman kame nila Gale at Rave. Oohhhh! Haha

“Uh excuse me?” sabi naman ni Cielle. Gulong-gulo na ‘to haha

“Sige na Cielle. Kanta ka na. Kahit isang stanza lang” sabi naman ni tita. Well mukhang naka-usap na ni Rowell si tita. Mukha namang approve na approve si tita haha

“Bakit?” taking tanong ni Cielle sa mama nia haha

“Basta Cielle kanta ka na lang. Hindi naman kelangan buong song. Kahit parts lang” singit ko naman. Kumunoot naman noo ni Cielle. Hindi na talaga nia maintindihan kung bakit bigla-biglang pinapakanta na lang sya hahaha

Tiningnan naman sya ni Lizzie at Rowell na may ‘go-on’ look. Mukhang napipilit na ‘to haha. Mahilig kase yan kumanta. Nagpeperform pa nga yan sa school dati pag may mga activities or programs. At hindi naman talaga maipagkakaila na magaling talaga ‘to kumanta

“When I’m nervous, I had this thing yeah I talk too much”

“Sometimes I just can’t shut the hell up”

See? Sabi senyu bibigay rin yan eh. Hilig kase nian talaga kumanta. Hindi kame natiis haha. Talagang favourite song pa namen pinili niang kantahin haha

“It’s like I need to tell someone, anyone who’ll listen”

“And that’s where I seem to f*ck up”

Sana lang talaga magustuhan sya ni Lizzie at Rowell. Sana lang talaga. Okay naman boses nia eh. Fingers crossed ako

“Yeah I forget about the consequences”

“For a minute there I lose my senses”

“And in the heat of the moment, my mouth starts going”

“The words start flowing, oh...”

Oh and I forgot to tell Lizzie and Rowell that she can dance as well. Talagang performer ‘to eh. Whole package

“But I never meant to hurt you, I know its time that I learned to”

“Treat the people I love, like I wanna be loved,”

“This is the lesson learned”

Ayan na! Birit te! Carry mo yan hahahahaha!

“I hate that I let you down, and I feel so bad about it”

“I guess karma comes back around, ‘coz now I’m the one that’s hurting yeah”

“And I hate that I made you think, that the trust we had is broken”

“Don’t tell me you can’t forgive me, ‘coz nobody’s perfect no, no”

“No oh oh oh no, no oh oh oh, No... no ohhhh...”

“Coz nobody’s perfect no”

*clap clap clap*

Napatingin naman ako kung sino ung pumapalakpak

And can you believed kung sino ung pumalakpak? Yeah. Si ROWELL lang naman ung pumaplakpak. So does this mean?

“Brilliant. Brilliant voice” sabi naman ni Rowell. Napangiti naman si Cielle. Kahit kami eh napangiti rin

“I guess my superstar group is complete” dagdag naman ni Rowell

“Welcome to the group Cielle.”
