"Alysson, can you help me out?"
"What is it again?"
Inipit ko ang cellphone ko sa pagitan ng ulo at balikat ko. I was looking for my car keys as I arrived at the condo's parking lot.
"Today's audition day. Judge the auditionees for me, please?"
"Gēgē! Bakit ba ako lagi ang ginagawa mong judge?"
Tumunog ang kotse ko nung nahanap ko na ang susi at agad akong pumasok dito. Kasi naman, ito si ahia may 'me' time sana ako ngayon. But I guess I have to cancel it again. Damn it.
"I trust your standards so much. This is why we have wonderful talents. So, please?"
"Where are you?"
"I have a meeting"
"Fine, whatever. Kainis naman may lakad ako ngayon."
Pinaandar ko na ang sasakyan ko and I'm on my way to our agency.
Humalakhak lang siya sa sinabi ko. He gave me some reminders before he ended the call. I don't have any choice though, ako lagi ang nandoon tuwing may audition sa agency in behalf of my brother. He's the CEO, he has to be there! But then again, siya pa rin ang masusunod sa huli.
I entered the agency as soon as I arrived. Tumungo ako sa mini auditorium kung saan hineheld ang mga auditions. Every year, we conduct auditions for new talents. Lahat naman ng talents namin umaangat at sumisikat talaga kaya minsan dinadagsa kami. Sa music industry kami naka-focus so only singers and dancers lang meron kami. No actors and actresses. Sa ibang agency na namin 'yon.
"Sorry, am I late?"
"No, ma'am. Just right on time."
I nodded to my co-judge. Nasa gitna ako nakaupo sa kung saan dapat si kuya. Ewan ko lang ah, pero bakit parang feel ko tinatamad siya lagi sa mga ganito kaya ako ang pumapalit sa kanya.
Tatlo kaming magjujudge as usual. The other one is a vocal coach and the other one is a dance mentor.
"Let's start."
I said on the microphone. Nasa likod ng upuan namin nakaupo ang mga mag au-audition kaya para marinig nila kami, we have to use the microphone. I checked the folder and called the group name and I don't know why it seems nostalgic.
"Impulse?"
There are 4 men who went up on stage. Pumwesto sila sa kung saan laging may nakahandang musical instruments. Nandyan na yan lagi for auditionees na mga banda. I looked at them as they get ready pero as I do so, may dalawa pamilyar na mukha pero isa lang ang nag stand out sa'kin. Kinabahan ako bigla pero I convinced myself na baka guni-guni ko lang yun.
They started singing and the familiar song ached my heart immediately. I pursed my lips not just because of the music but also because of the vocalist's nostalgic voice and face. I had a hard time focusing because it brought back the memories I failed to forget with the guy I had only ever loved so hard in my life.
