If you're given a chance, will you take it? Personally, second chances aren't for me. I don't think second chances should be given. You already wasted the first time, bakit kailangan mong ulitin? Can't you accept the fact that you messed the first time, and that there shouldn't be a second time. And I believed in the saying, "Once a cheater, always a cheater."

I woke up early because my manager kept calling me. He insisted that I should attend the "show". To show that I still care about being down to earth artist.

I still do, I don't think that highly of myself. The only problem is that I don't want to face him again. I don't want to see his pretty face and be someone I don't even want to be.

"Sinasabi ko sa'yo, Paulo. It's not gonna be that long. Mag-guest ka lang naman kay Mr. Ajero. Your old member. SB19, remember? Some fans wants you to go because they miss seeing you all. Now, hindi lang naman ikaw yung nandoon. Justin and Ken will be there, heck, Josh might be there too."

I looked at him as if I've seen the most disgusting food ever. Alam kong they will be there, that this will be our little get together, but I don't think im still ready to face him. Heck, I don't think I will ever be!

"Now, umayos ka na Paulo. Ken already called this morning, halatang namiss ka niya talaga."

I sighed. I can't argue with him anymore. I just wish everything will be smooth later, especially with Mr. Ajero.

It was awkward, to say the least. Pero mukhang masaya naman yung mga audience. Habang nag-air yung show, nag trending ang SB19 worldwide. Well, I guess this is the first time we're together after three years of parting ways.

"Ayan, so question for Mr. Nase. Ayan Pablo, sa kasalukuyan, anong mas pinagfofocusan mo?," agad akong napatingin kay Stell.

He looked happy, he looked... content and moved on.

"Well, might as well drop the bomb here. Im making a new song, and I will release it soon. So, I've been focusing on releasing more and more music. Just like the old times, Stell."

He looked caught off guard.

"Ah yes. No one beats the good old composer Pablo. I miss those time, kapag bored ka, bigla na lang gagawa ng kanta."

I chuckled when he mentioned that. Yes, I miss those times too.

"Hala thank you ng marami sa inyo, akala ko hindi na ulit tayo magkikita," niyakap kami ni Stell. Totoo ngang nakakamiss yung presensiya ng bawat isa.

I can see that all of us had improved.

"Of course, para sa A'tin. So una na kame guys, catch up lang kami," paalam ni Josh at hinatak sila Ken at Jah.

It was only me and Stell left. Bukod sa ibang staff na nag-aayos. Planado na ba ng tatlo ito? Tsk. Those trio has been the bridge all of this time.

"I guess...we also need to catch up?"

"Siguro nga, Stell. Old place?"

"Yeah."
