Sunday at Late night Band Club kung saan gaganapin ang susunod na gig ng banda nila named
"Chamdun & Company"
At the backstage
Kesha breathes deeply
"Oh, kinakabahan ka? Parang first time mo lang nagpeperform ah"--KJ
"Uhm... Ewan ko, ilang beses na natin to ginagawa pero ngayon lang ako kinabahan, siguro iba kasi ngayon eh. This time nandito na yung ilan sa mga kaklase naten, kaya siguro ako kinakabahan"
"Hayss, si Jino the playboy nanaman kasi naginvite ng mga kaklase nya, kaya siguro umabot sa classroom naten"-KJ
"Eyshh kahit kelan talaga yung playboy nayun, naiintindihan ko na kung bakit asar na asar si Kaye sakanya" --Kesha
Then Kaye, Berlin and even Yani approached them in the backstage
"Ommo, Kaye! Berlin, oh pati si Yani sinama mo hahaha whoa. Akala ko hindi ka pupunta kaye?"--Kesha
"Eh, first time kitang makikitang nagpeperform eh so I won't lose the oppurtunity kahit may ayaw akong makita" tinutukoy nya si Jino the playboy
"I know right, naaasar nga din ako sa playboy nayun eh, sya nagkalat sa buong skul ng tungkol sa banda namin eh. He really loves having people's attention that ignorant fre-"
Hindi natuloy ni Kesha ang pagsasalita nang biglang sumabat si Jino
"Anu yon? May sinasabi kayo?"
Narinig pala sila ni Jino
Their eyes looked down
"And next to perform is "Chamdun & Company" !!!! A round of applause everyone!" the emcee suddenly introduced them
Normal classic crowd be like:
Clap clap clap 👏 👏 👏
But abnormal students of South College University be like:
"Whooohooo!!😂"
"Yeaaaah,, tropa ko yaaaan!!😲"
"yeeeeez!! kaklase ko po yan!!😎!"
"Aja aja hwaiting, jiayou😄!!"
The Chamdun & Company sang their new composition entitled "Childhood Friend" with Kesha Hėres as their main vocal, Kim John Perican as the Bassist, Jinoben Ferrel/ Jino as guitarist and second voice and Cham Cham and Dudun twins as their drumer and keyboardist and also the band's founder
After the performance...
Kaye's PoV
"Waaw, ang ganda pala ng boses ni ate Kesha haha, but she's a bit shakey"
Sabi ni Yani
"Andito kasi yung ilang mga kaklase namin eh, hindi sya sanay na nagpeperform na may nakakakilala sakanya"--Kaye
Maya maya nagsipuntahan na ang mga tao sa gitna para sumayaw at mag party party. Kinausap ko naman si KJ. I want to be friends with him and get to know him better.
"Kj, masaya ako na nalilibang mo sarili mo sa pamamagitan ng banda nato, ganto ba kayo lagi?"
Curious kong tanong
" hindi naman puro late night club ang napupuntahan namin, minsan reception, birthday, baby showers kahit sa wedding kumakanta kami"
Whoa andami na pala
"Ahh,, I can see why you refused kuya's offer na mamasukan sakanya"
"Actually pwede ko naman yun tanggapin eh, pwede naman daw ako magpaalam sakanya kung may sched kami ng gigs at papayagan nya ko magleave, pero sabi ko it's too much to take care of kasi I'm still a graduating student, kaya sabi ko pagkagraduate ko nalang ako mamamasukan sakanya, pero as fulltime employee na" wow that's great
"That's great" i replied
Then everyone approached us. Berlin, Yani, Kesha and their whole band para yayain kaming sumayaw but I refused kasi nahihiya ako, I haven't danced since my highschool graduation. Then kinausap ako ni Jino
"Ano ngang pangalan mo? Kayerie?"
Why even care to ask?
"Jino is his name, Playboy is his surname 😉, wag ka magalala Kaye, mabait yan si Jino, he didn't mean to upset you, he just thought you'd buy his joke" sabi ni Kim John habang akbay akbay si playboy, tss buti nalang kupal at tamad lang si Kim John at hindi playboy whose always playing with people's hearts.
"Uhm....its true, I'm sorry if you felt uncomfortable with my first approach ah, I just didn't think that everyone has different responses to my actions...... Am i forgiven now?" sabi ni Jino na muka namang sincere kaya tumango nalang akl sa sinabi nya
"Okay" i replied
But since nagtitiwala si KJ sakanya, I guess i should trust him too
"Can I take you to dance?" tanong nya pero bigla nya akong hinila nang hindi naghihintay sa isasagot ko.
What the-😧
He held both my hands and sway it left and right na parang may bata syang sinasayaw, then kapag stampede na dinadala nya ako sa maluwag, tinatawanan naman ako ng mga kaibigan ko habang nakikita nila akong sinasayaw ni Jino. Until I get tired of avoiding from getting bumped.
"Wwaaah yoko na!" sinigaw ko kay Jino para ilayo nya na ko sa crowd
"phew, haha, nagenjoy ka naman ba?"
He asked nung nandun na kami sa tabi ni KJ
"Oo. Naalala ko tuloy bigla nung huli akong sumayaw,"
"Tell me about it," Jino let me talk about my memory
"That was JS Masquerade Prom Night, may humila sakin bigla at sinayaw ako, habang sumasayaw tinanong ko sya kung anong pangalan nya but he won't evan say a word"
"Why didn't you just took of his mask"
"No, he's refusing, I tried to observe his cheeks, lips, forehead and nose kung kakilala ko ba sya since paligid lang naman ng mata ang may mask, but, I've never seen him before, hindi ko na maalala pa yung itsura nya kasi medyo madilim non."
"Hmm... Baka ako yon" ano?? Hmm I'm sure he's joking again
"Hahhahaha" tumawa nalang ako then tumawa narin sya, si KJ as usual no response
"Ikaw Kim John, hindi ka ba sasayaw? Isayaw mo si Kaye kahit pagod yan sasayaw ulit yan" sabi ni Jino kay Kim John eh yoko na kaya
"Heler he's KJ remember?" i said para ibahin ang topic
Wala lang yung muka ni KJ
"Hahaha oo nga pala" Jino laughed then nung napagod narin mga kaibigan namin sumayaw, pinuntahan kami at niyaya ng kambal na magproper dinner, their treat Woah
Kim John's PoV
I was having a conversation with Kaye when everyone approached us. Berlin, Yani, Kesha and our whole band para yayain kaming sumayaw but I refused kasi nahihiya ako, I haven't danced since our JS Prom Then kinausap ni Jino si Kaye.
"Ano ngang pangalan mo? Kayerie?" Tanong ni Jino
"Jino is his name, Playboy is his surname 😉, wag ka magalala Kaye, mabait yan si Jino, he didn't mean to upset you, he just thought you'd buy his joke" incase na magalit nanaman si Kaye sakanya
Then natuwa naman ako nung tinanggap na ni Kaye yung apology ni Jino. Tapos nagulat ako when he grabbed Kaye's hand to take her to dance without even waiting for Kaye's response. Hmm I thought Kaye will be annoyed but later on she was enjoying the dance because Jino was protecting her.
Natawa rin ako ng konti dahil sinasayaw ni Jino si Kaye na parang bata... She looks so cute I almost blushed 😅.
Pagdating nila sa may pwesto ko, hingal na hingal si Kayerie, i wasn't going to be interested in their conversation pero nung kinuwento na ni Kaye yung tungkol sa memory nya nung JS, I listened because I was the one she was talking about.........
(<Flashback>)
At JS Masquerade Prom Night
I hesitated for four hours bago isayaw si Kayerie. Hindi naman sya umaalis sa pwesto nya eh kaya pwede ko syang yayain anytime, then maya maya may nasusulyapan akong lalaki na nagbabalak din syang yayain sumayaw nung papalapit na yung lalaki sakanya that's when I ran towards her and dragged her to the center to dance.
She looked so startled. Tinatanong nya ako kung sino ako, pero hindi ako sumasagot, i was busy observing her face. Hindi naman ako nahirapan hanapin sya eh kasi hindi naman sya nagsuot ng maskara nung gabing yon, I know she have poor eyesight kasi lagi ko syang nakikitang may salamin kaya hindi sya nagmask that night dahil mas lalo syang mahihirapan sumulyap ng paligid, but she was wearing contact lenses kaya nagawa nya paring obserbahan ang iba pang parte ng muka ko.
Maya maya sinubukan nyang biglain ang pagtanggal ng mask ko but I caught her hand tas natapos na yung kanta kaya binitawan ko na sya at deretsong umuwi. Gusto nya pa sana akong habulin pero binilisan ko ang pagtakbo kaya hindi nya ako naabutan
(<out of flashback>)
"No, he's refusing, I tried to observe his cheeks, lips, forehead and nose kung kakilala ko ba sya since paligid lang naman ng mata ang may mask, but, I've never seen him before, hindi ko na maalala pa yung itsura nya kasi medyo madilim non." Sabi ni Kaye,
kahit pala may contact lense sya hindi parin malinaw paningin nya sa konting dilim
"Hmm... Baka ako yon" Si Jino I'm sure he's joking again, pero baka paniwalaan ni Kaye yon, i slightly felt jealous
"Hahhahaha" tawa ni Kaye, Siguro inisip nya nalang na biro rin yon ni Jino
Ikaw Kim John, hindi ka ba sasayaw? Isayaw mo si Kaye kahit pagod yan sasayaw ulit yan"
I wanted to agree but Kaye suddenly said:
"Heler he's KJ remember?" ahh, oo nga pala, KJ nga pala ang alam nila saken, nakakahiya kung magpapakita ako ng ibang side ko
Dinedma ko nalang sila
"Hahaha oo nga pala" Jino laughed then nung napagod narin mga kaibigan namin sumayaw, pinuntahan kami at niyaya ng kambal na magproper dinner si Cham Cham at Dudun their treat Woah
Sa samgyupsal kami nilibre ng kambal, so tuwang tuwa naman sila Kesha, Kaye at lalo naman si Yani
"wow^o^, ate Kaye nakalibre tayo this time ah" tuwang tuwang sabi ni Yani
"Oo nga eh haha, balak sana kasi namin talaga magsamgyupsal pagkatapos ng first sem pero nakalimutan namin hehe" Sabi ni Kaye sa kambal
Ang Cham Cham and Dudun twins ang founder ng banda namin, si Chamie Xadia/Cham Cham ay babae
Si Duston Xadia/Dudun ay lalaki, magkakahiwalay nila kaming nirecruit dati para buoin ang dream band nilang magkapatid na mga musician, they trained us to be professionals though They're just the same age as us.
"Hahaha,, timing pala" --Chamcham
"Ahm,, san nyo nga pala nakuha yung mga palayaw ninyo magkambal?"-- di na natiis na tanungin ni Berlin
"Well, yun na ang tawag samin ng magulang namin simula pa nung magkaisip kami, yun daw kasi ang tawag namin sa isa't isa" Dudun answered and laughed
Mayamaya may pinakita si Jino kay Kayerie sa selpon nya na may something interesting, I can see Kayerie's eyes trying hard to read the small letters (for her) when it is a normal size for us. Kinuha ko bigla ang selpon ni Jino at pinalaki ang font size ng pinapabasa sakanya
"Uy no gagawin mo?"--Nabigla si Jino nung kinuha ko yung selpon
Nung binigay ko na
"Oo nga no, nababasa ko na ngayon"-Kaye
"malabo ba mata mo?"--Jino
"oo uhm, medyo hehe, pero hindi naman na katulad ng dati na halos kailangan ko pa ng salamin" malamang iniisip na nila kung pano ko nalaman, hayss
"Kayerie, so are you interested kahit konti man lang sa music?"--Chamcham
"Oo rin, kasi its one of the reasons i'm healthy physically and mentally"
"Let me know if you're interested in our band"--Chamcham
"uhm... I have to think about other things too... I haven't yet chose my passion eh"--Kaye
"Ahh... So saan ka pinaka interesado?"-Dudun
"Ahm... Hindi ako sure.. Kung.. " walang maisip si Kaye
"Photography" nagtinginan sila nung nagsalita ako
"ahm. ..p-pwede rin. Siguro itry ko rin ang photography" umoo nalang si Kaye
Later on, they decided to play a game. Ayoko sumali pero they dared na kung sino ang hindi sasali, Nagcoconfess ng first love, i didn't want to take it seriously so I was really planing to refuse but I don't want to get that much attention either so umoo nalang ako
"Okay, so ang laro naten ay matching game, meron kayong partners at kapag pareho yung sagot nyo sa five questions may points kayo depende sa kung ilan ang matching answers ninyo ok?, o pumili na kayo ng partners nyo" Cham Cham instructed
"Ate Cham tayo nalang" sabi ni Kesha
"Ay hindi kami kasali ni dudun eh, magkalaban kami" Sabi ni Chamcham
"ha? " taka nila
"We'll make a bet sa kung sino ang mananalo eh, pero kapag wala sa napili namin yung mananalo we'll make a bet kung yung nanalong hindi namin napagpustahan ay may 4-5 ang points o 3 pnts lang" sabi ni Cham
"O tapos, ano mangyagari sa talo sainyo?"--Kesha
"Magbabayad ng lahat ng to"-Cham
"Ikaw may gusto nyan ah"--Dudun
"luh, tignan nalang naten kung sino mananalo, oh may partners na ba kayo?" yumabang si Chamcham
Naghihintay lang ako kung sinong magpair up saken. Si Jino sasabihin sana Kay Kaye na sila nalang nang bigla akong hinawakan ni kaye sa braso
"Kami nlang ni KJ haha" my hart is
Im so startled i can't say anything
Si Kesha pinili si Yani,si Berlin at Jino naman ay no choice, sila lang wala eh. Pero nagulat talaga ako kay Kayerie
"Oh nilatag ko na pusta ko"--Dudun
"Ha? Andaya!" tong magkambal talaga nato
"bleh! Di mo na pwedeng piliin yung napili ko haha" pangaasar ni Dudun
Dudun's Bet:
KJ & Kayerie
4-5 pts. Ang score nila Berlin at Jino (kung sila mananalo)
Cham Cham's Bet:
Kesha & Yani
3pts Ang score nila Berlin at Jino (kung sila mananalo)
And it all started
Berlin & Jino got 3 pts
Its Kesha and Yani's turn

"Gongcha! Yes!" haha parehas sila ng sagot that's one point
Ice cream or cake
"Ice cream"--Yani
"cake"-Kesha
Aaaawww

"Shoes!"--Sabay nilang sagot, that's 2pts
Until they got 4pts
"Yes!!!! Ako na panalooo haha" Cham Cham predicted
"Don't be so sure, my bet hasn't played yet!" sabi naman ni Dudun
And it's me and Kaye's turn
Okay.....
"Cats or dogs"
"Dogs"
Psychology or philosophy
"Philosophy"
spaghetti or carbonara
"Carbonara"
Sunlight o moonlight
"Sunlight!"
"O eto last na haha pagisipan nyong mabute hahaha" ba't kaya tumatawa si Dudun?
"Hatdog o itlog!" nagtawanan sila sa choices nayon?
1 second bago nasagot yon
"Itlog!" pero sabay naman kaming nakasagot at pareho pa. And that's how we got all five points.
"Oooooww, pano bayan sister? Haha the victory is mine hahaha" tuwang tuwang sabi ni Dudun kay Cham cham
"Hayss,, nubayan, oy KJ! Marunong ka ba magbasa ng isip?" inis na tanong ni Cham Cham
"Uh,, h-hinde ah" my hesitant answer
Kaye's PoV
Although kaya lang naman nalaman ni Kim John yung tungkol saken, unang una, nahalata nya naman siguro na hirap akong makabasa ng maliliit na letters kaya nya ginawa yon, but is he that concerned para mageffort?. Second, yung passion ko sa photography, I'm not sure kung pwede pa yun magbago, but he insisted it in front of my friends pero nung sinabi nya yun, parang gusto ko nang ipersue yon.
I think im just assuming na interesado sakin si KJ but im so curious talaga kaya even if I didn't have to pick him as my partner, i tried, baka kasi marami kaming common interests if we played the game together OR he might know some things about me, ewan ko,
Until another question just popped into my mind after the game.
Dogs--I liked dogs since nung araw na tinawag ako ng crush ko na brownie
Philosophy--that's my favorite subject nung highschool
Carbonara--Favorite ko din yon kesa sa spaghetti
Sunlight-- that's what i used in all my photography
Lastly..
Itlog -- yan yung palagi kong baon sa lunch, sunny side up
How come we have the same answers perfectly?? Is he really reading my mind? Or did he hypnotyze me?
But when he answered no, hindi daw sya nagbabasa ng isip, inisip ko na baka pareho nga lang talaga kami ng interests
"Cham cham! May punishment ba sa hindi nanalo?"--Dudun
"Kahit wag na, niyaya natin sila para ilibre, so let's not make something that'll make them uncomfortable pero may price sa nanalo" ano kayang price yung sinasabi ni Chamcham?
"Ha? Waw, anong price nila KJ at Kayerie?" tanong ni Dudun
"Kailangan nila magdate" what the, seriously? Akala ko ba 'let's not make something that'll make them uncomfortable' eh bakit ganto?
"Oooowwwwhahhhaha yiiieeeesss"
Reaction nila
"Ah, hehe, I think that's too much for a price, thanks but no thanks" sabi ni KJ of course he'll feel uncomfortable too
"I second the motion" sagot ko naman. I agree
"Bayan Kayerie pati ba ikaw nahawa na sa KJ?" sabi ni Berlin. Why didn't i think of that?
"It's just one date"-Dudun
Weh?
"If it didn't work then just stay as friends"-Kesha
But I really want us to stay as friends
"Oo nga naman" reaksyon ng lahat. But I don't want to have awkwardness between us
"Sorry guys pero nasa bahay na kasi si papa eh so, let's go home Yani" gusto ko nalang umuwe
"Ok ganto nalang, ill set up a date, pero kung ayaw talaga ni Kim John, kung sino nalang gustong makadate si Kaye sya nalang ang sisipot ok?" what kind trash is ChamCham talking about?
"Sige na pumayag ka na Yani" pinilit talaga ni chamcham, i guess they just really wanna hang out with me
"O-okay, hmm" I said para matigil na kaluluwa nila. Pero wala naman talaga ako balak sumipot. I feel like its more like a punishment than a price. If only I knew, I wouldn't have tried so hard na manalo
Then nagpaalam na kami isa isa na uuwi. Nagpaalam sakin si Jino then inakbayan nya si KJ parang may pupuntahan pa sila bago umuwe
Jino's PoV
Hayss... I think Kayerie is a wonderful woman. Crush ko na yata sya eh. Gusto ko sana syang nakapartner kaso si KJ pinili nya, are they friends for a longtime? Im curious about everything about her. Wala naman sigurong gusto si KJ sakanya no... Pero how come they matched answers na parang alam nya lahat ng gusto ni Kayerie, kasi Imposibleng own interests nya yun eh so nung uwian na, nakipag usap muna ako kay KJ
"Hey bro, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Of course, what is it?"
"Uhmm... You don't like Kayerie do you?" im expecting an exact answer
"Ha? Wala ah, haha" Is that laugh legit?
"Sigurado ka? You don't feel anything about her?" I have to make sure
"Wala talaga bro, kaibigan lang turing ko sakanya no. You don't like her do you" tinanong nya saken yung tanong ko kanina
"Actually, I kind of like her na, is this like, love at second sight or not, siguro nagustuhan ko lang sya after we hang out for hours kasi parang may nalaman akong mga bagay tungkol sakanya kahit konti. I think she's awesomely cute^ω^"
"Ahh.... So what do you want to tell me?...... Na ikaw ang sumipot sa date instead of me?" that's right
"Oo sana... Okay lang naman sayo diba
Wala ka naman gusto sakanya eh, just let me do this pal plsss" I begged him
"O, sige, no problem.. I'm thankful pa nga eh, i have an appointment on that day kaya malaking tulong na Ikaw ang sisipot" salamat naman
"Thank you thankyou talaga bro!" then nagpaalam na rin kami sa isa't isa. Sa wakas makakadate ko na yung crush ko hhahaha, ugh I better prepare for that day... Grabe nag advance. Excited na kasi eh.
Kim John's PoV
It was all a pretend!.... I keep denying to my feelings! Am I still inlove with her? Pero sabi ko I'll get over her na!
When we were six years old, inisip ko lang na fling yon, its just a mere young puppy love that kids used to have but nung lumaki na ako.... I keep being reminded of her. Sabi ko crush ko lang sya, kaya naisipan kong istalk sya, na kahit dun manlang makita ko sya. I was hoping I'd only do that for a short time.
Simula nung grade four, sinubukan ko syang hanapin. I became her stalker for like 12 years! Maging sa social media o sa connections ko. Nag highschool ako kung saan sya naghighschool para makita ko sya sa personal kahit sa malayuan.
May mga times na tinutulungan ko sya secretly although She didn't knew me at all. Parang hindi kumpleto araw ko pag hindi sya nakikita. Sobrang saya ko nung Prom Night nayon dahil I feel like cinderella, dancing with a princess without knowing who I was but unlike cinderella, I fled without a glass slipper, I left without leaving her a clue kung pano ako mahahanap
Then nung mag highschool graduation, I realized Im inlove with her na. Sobrang lungkot ko dahil hindi ko na sya makikita ulet, dahil I'll never get a chance with her, I feel like a fanboy inlove with his Idol knowing that he'll never get a chance to have her.
I was going to stop stalking her, then I happen to enter the same college as her. Pero ayoko nang Tumingin ulit sakanya kaya hindi ko na inalam kung anong course nya. That's when I decided to get over her.
Pagkatapos lumipat sya bigla sa course ko!! You know I never want to hope that its destiny. Ayoko nang umasa pa sa wala, but then it all just happened within a blink of an eye, hindi ko lang sya naging kaklase, naging kagrupo pa sa thesis.
But I said I already got over her. Pero nung nakakasama ko na sya....bakit unti unti ulit nabubuhay ang tulog kong puso? Eh ayoko na nga kasi umasa. What's wrong with my heart?! And now it will happen again, ipapubaya ko na sya sa kaibigan ko kahit nagseselos ako.
