Ning's 

"Even if you go deeper into the constant darkness
Even if you go deeper into the fog that resembles you
I won’t let you go even if you disappear
No no no I can’t stop love"

"Alright, that's great, Ning!"
"Thank you po.." sagot ko bago ako lumabas ng recording room.

"Bridge part na tayo. And that would be Winter's part. Its just a narration--"
"Uhm, pwede pong si Giselle-"
"pwede pong si Giselle-" halos sabay naming sabi ni Winter. 
"Ha?" silip samin ni Aeri, narinig niya kasi pangalan niya.
"Sige, Ning.." Winter smiled at me. Tumango naman ako, we get it. 

"Yes, Miss Ning?"
"Pwede pong si Giselle na lang sa bridge part? Narration naman din po yun diba?"
"Hmmm..."
"Giselle is still a part of our band po kasi. She's originally one of our bassist and vocals, gaya po ni Winter. And we want her to be a part of it."

Mr. Santos smiled and nods sa mga sinabi ko, "Sure, we'll definitely do that. I can't wait to hear Miss Giselle too."

"Miss Giselle?" she called Aeri na agad tinanggal ang tingin sa phone niya,
"Yes? Do you need anything?"
"Uhm no, but your members here ask me that you need to be a part of the song. So, I'm giving you the bridge part. Is that okay with you?"

"Ohh.. Uh. Yea. I'm cool with it." alanganin niya pang sagot. Napangiti naman ako, she likes it, I know. She's happy to be a part of this song.

"Are you ready, Miss Giselle?" tanong nung producer.
"Yea, I am. Just a little bit nervous right now."

"Don't be! We're here, Aeri! Fighting!!" sigaw ko naman I don't know kung rinig ako doon sa loob ng booth.

"....Giselle, I need you to do a background vocals too, its that okay?"
"Uh sure. Just tell me what parts."

'Falling, calling, chasing
Even if I can’t have you'

'No no no I can’t stop love'

'...Why am I so attached to you
Everytime you leave me,
I don’t know what to do
I just can’t stop loving you
I don’t know what else to say
You drive me crazy'

Halos tatlong beses lang yata inulit ni Aeri yung narration na bridge part sa kanta and she did so well. I got goosebumps pa nga nung unang try niya. Her voice is so attractive. Her accent is so pure. 

'.....I don’t know what to do,
I just can’t stop loving you
I don’t know what else to say
You drive me crazy...'

I saw how she looks at me habang sinasabi ang bawat lyrics sa kanta. Narration nga pala to. SHET.

Aeri!!!! Sandale! Teka lang! Yung puso ko!

Yung 'You drive me crazy' na part. I- 

Why ka naman ganyan Uchinaga?!

Naalis na lang yung tingin at nabitawan ko yung titig namin sa isa't isa ng maramdaman kong nag-vibrate yung phone ko. I got a message from Jeno. Yung bago kong dinidate, tinatanong ako kung tuloy daw ba yung dinner date namin mamaya. Nakalimutan ko palang sabihin na hindi ako pwede ngayon. Kaya I replied na next time na lang at may sched ako na need gawin.

You know what? Why am I dating? 

Ayan, sisihin niyo yan si Uchi!

Kaya ako nakikipag date para maalis yung feelings ko for her. Pero never naman nawala! Nakaka-inis. Akala ko pa naman nag-bibigay siya ng mixed signals sakin. I thought she likes me too. Pero nakita ko na ganun din siya every time na nakikita ko sila ni Yeji. The audacity? 

Natakot pa ako nung last time na nakita niya kami ni Haechan na dine-date ko that time na nasa labas, she thought naghahalikan kami. Sabi ba naman, "Sa labas niyo pa talaga binalak mag make out." What the heck, Uchi?!

Lumapit lang ako kay Haechan non dahil meron daw something na dumi sa muka ko!! I guess she saw it sa bad angle. 

I remember I was pushing myself pa na gusto ko si Winter. Well, yes. I liked her. Liked. Gusto ko siya, dati. I was so dense and in denial nung nagkagusto ako kay Aeri. 

Na-confirm ko na lang yung feelings ko that time when we kissed sa kotse niya, when she picked me up ng lasing sa BCG. It was frosh year party ng fine arts student and nagkaayaan yung batch namin.

"I told you not to drink too much.." sabi ni Aeri, hindi naman siya galit by her tone more like she's worried.
"Sorry, Aeri.. Bu-t *hic* you-'re here naman *hic* na hehe"

"Here, drink water muna." sabay abot niya sakin ng bottled water na agad ko namang ininom.

"So, you good na? Go to sleep muna if you want, I'll wake you up na lang.." Umiling ako. Aeri.. I can't. Hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko.
"W-what? May masakit ba sayo? Your head hurts ba? Nahihilo ka ba? Ano?" sunod sunod na tanong niya, habang nakatingin sakin, worriedly. 

Your eyes..

Tanginang mga mata naman yan, Uchi. 

Your lips...

TANGINA NAMAN?

"I- *hic* I- feel... hot, aeri.. I-" mahinang banggit ko,
"You feel what?" She's tense. Her voice says it all. I unbuckle the seatbeat saka ako lumapit sakanya.

ING HELL.

"I feel hot..."

"Ohh. I- Uh- Naiinitan ka? Wait- lalakasan ko yung AC. Just
