"Oh... Baka naman gusto mo akong tawagan kapag pauwi ka na"

"Dad I told you already na 5am pa ang tapos ng party"

"akala ko ba pwede umuwi if gusto na as long as may sundo?"

"Para naman akong highschool Dad." he pulled over near the entrance. Sa gate 4 na kayo dumaan para malapit lang sa Hall.

"Bakit? May iba na bang nagb-baby sayo kaya ayaw mo na sa Dad mo?" 

"Oh please!" you nervously laugh. Hope he didn't notice your shaky eyes.

"How about 8pm?" nilakihan mo lang siya ng mata at saka nag-ayos ng gamit. 

"6 start ng program... 8? Baka nag nanational anthem palang nun Dad" you said defensively.

"Call your Mom after 12 okay?" you nod and try to open the car door.

"Dad..." he just squint his eyes to you. Still ayaw nya iunlock.

"atleast kiss your old dad miss?" patampo niyang sabi. 

Nakalimutan mo tuloy sa sobrang kaba. 

"kaaaay..." so you leaned closer to him and kiss his cheek. "Bye Dad..."

"Wag ka maniniwala sa mom mo na sa kanya ka nagmana. Look at you, you look stunning and of course genes ko yan" 

"awww... Thank you Dad" 

He unlocked it finally at hinalikan ka sa noo. "Careful ha? Update us" 

"opo..." 

Parang eksena sa telenovela. Lahat sila nilingon ka...

Bawat Clinical Instructor...

Bawat estudyante sa lahat ng year levels...

Pati yung nag aayos ng speakers...

Miski guards na nag-open ng pinto para sayo.

Para kang panaginip. Para kang anghel na bumaba saglit.

Modern Filipiñana ang theme of the night and you're rockin' these outfit na napanganga mo pa ang iba. 

Isa lang. 

Isa lang ang gusto mong tumingin sayo.

Seulgi...

You checked your phone habang nakatayo parin sa entrance as if waiting for the host to call you para sa crown "Face of the Night". Ni hindi pa naguumpisa... Ni hindi pa nagsisimula yet alam na ng lahat kung kanino mapupunta ng award na ito. 

Table 20!

Basa mo sa text. There's Solar... Waiting for you. 

Katabi si Joy na kumikinang sa suot niyang dress.

Solar wearing this simple yet elegant dress that hugs her body perfectly. 

"Agang-aga umeeksena ka na ah" bati niya sayo habang naguunahan ang iba na ihanda ang uupuan mo. 

"T-thank you" 

"What an expensive " bati sayo ni Joy. 

"asan na daw sila?" you asked them, completely ignoring Joy. 

"Sinundo pa ni Seulgi si Miss Wendy... Pero parating na daw Gov." 

Right... She will take Wendy with her. 

"Gov? Mag sisimula na ho ba?" tanong sayo ng napag-utusan mong MC. 

"wala pa yung ibang member ng faculty... Let's just wait for a bit." 

Lumapit si Taeyeon at Yuri sayo... Stuff about the flow of this party and outfits... Nothing more.

With linked arms nakita mo na silang dalawa papasok ng hall. You waved and Wendy waves back. 

She's wearing butterfly top filipiniana and black pencil skirt na may pa-slit pa.

And Seulgi's wearing a crop barong and trousers. 

That made you forget to inhale so you take air inside twice at naubo ka pa habang palapit sila sayo. 

"Hey..." bati niya sayo at niyakap ka naman ng mahigpit ng iyong kaibigan. 

"Hi" you silently replied. 

Naupo siya sa tabi ni Joy. Naupo naman si Wendy sa tabi niya at tabi mo. 

Sa dami ng taong nagkakandarapang pumorma at magpacute sayo tonight. Ni hindi pa nagsisimula ang gabi, ni hindi pa nag-uumpisa, alam mo na kung sino ang nakakuha ng atensyon mo sa lahat. 

Seulgi... You don't know how much you drive her crazy. 

Wendy's being awfully quite... So did Joy. Binati niya ang lahat pwera lang sa isa. 

Pinagmasdan na ni Joy ang lahat pwera lang rin sa isa. 

Nag start na ang ceremony after dumating ng Dean ng College of Nursing. 

Intermissions from different orgs and group all performed well. Walang ligtas ang lahat sa March at Hymn. Pati na sa College Hymn na buong puso niyo namang kinanta.

To save and to serve is our ultimate priority and we are heavens hand to heal the society...

Nag-umpisa itong muli sa introduction ng mga contestants running for this year's Mr. & Ms. CON

Coronation night na at nakahanda na rin ang bonggang gown mo sa backstage for you to pass down the crown. 

Every walk, every wave... You can see the effort and dedication in each of them. 

And when it's time for you to change. She grabbed your hand kaya natigilan ka. 

"H-hatid na kita" is all she said pero para kang madadapa sa panglalambot ng iyong mga tuhod. 

Who would have thought na ang dating tinititigan mo lang, ang dating tinatambakan mo ng school works para pansinin ka, hawak na pala ang kamay mo para alalayan ka. 

Hindi siya umalis sa backstage hanggang sa mabihisan ka ulit. 

"Seul I'm..."

"hmm?" 

"Thank you... You can go back na"

She nod towards you pero she suddenly stop and just stare at you... 

She stared too long. 

As if you are the most beautiful thing she ever seen. 

Worth it ang pacleavage mo, bulong mo sa sarili. 

As if you are the one she's been waiting for her whole life through. 

Charot.

"h-huy... Baka matunaw ako" 

"You look ethereal... Baby" 

Ay 

Ay

Wag ka nalang kaya umakyat at magbigay ng speech? 

You want to drag her inside the cubicle and make out with her till 5 am. 

"you're blushing as if hindi galing sayo yung term na yun" tumawa pa siya. 

"I'm drunk that night... So" umaakyat na ang init sa batok mo. Busy parin ang ibang tao na ayusan ka. 

Si Suho na 4th year student, palapit na sa inyo para nakawin ka saglit palayo sa kanya. Mr. CON 2019... He's undeniably handsome and definitely worth the title. 

"Ayos ka na?" he asked... 

"Yeah..." 

"malapit na tayo tawagin" he's looking at your intertwined hands ni Seulgi. 

And Seulgi's looking at his hand sa braso mo. 

"Wait for me here" sabi mo sa kanya saka nagpadala sa hila ng kasama. 

Every contestants bowed at you. Binati ka pa ng ilang close mo dahil out of this world nga naman talaga ang itsura mo. 

Para bang... Kung hindi ka lang kilala ng mga judges... Baka sayo ulit isabit ang sash at korona. 

Give chance to others nga naman. 

Nang tawagin kayo, for your last ramp and wave... At the end, nag meet kayo ni Suho. You just don't know why he held your waist and kiss the back of your palm na para siyang prinsipe sa isang palabas. 

He gave his last speech.

You gave yours... 

At bago kayo samahan ng ibang contestants from backstage he even kissed your temple na nagpahiyaw sa audience. 

You know Seulgi's watching behind. 

Irene Bae... For the nth time... You don't know what to do. 

Candidate 19 won as Mr. CON for this year. Baekhyun Byun ng 1st year section A and Candidate 12 won as Ms. CON which is si Kim
