Your Perfect Leading Man (HIATUS)

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

MICHA can feel nervousness all over her body. Kanina pa sya hindi mapakali sa kinauupuan niya. Siya na kasi ang susunod na mago-audition, at nape-pressure siya dahil sa mga sinabi niya kanina kay Lyanne.

She threatened her that she will steal everything that Lyanne have right now. And she needs to fulfill that, kaya naman kailangan nyang makapasa sa audition.

Micha sighed, just as Judith sat beside her. Nang tiningnan niya ito at nakabusangot ito. "Anong problema? Anong nangyari sa loob?" tanong nya naman.

Judith sighed and stared at her. "As usual, the panels are so tough! Isa pa iyang si Seth Alfamre! Nakakainis!" anito na ikinatigil ni Micha.

Seth Alfamre? Kasali ito sa panel of judges?

"Si Seth Alfamre? K-kasama sya sa panels?" gulat nyang gagad, habang palihim na umaasa na sana hindi iyon totoo, at namali lang sya nang narinig.

Judith seemed curious why she asked that question using that tone, but she chose to answer Micha. "Yes. At ang sungit nya." dagdag nito na mas lihim na ikinanlumo ni Micha.

She is still in the middle of silently praying when a crew came to her, saying that she's the next one to audition.

Micha sighed, making herself feel calm.

"Go on Micha." She heard Joahnna speak. "Kaya mo yan." anito habang binibigyan sya ng isang pampaganang ngiti.

Ganuon din naman ang ngiting ibinigay nila Maybel, Judith at Patricia sa kanya, bago sabay sabay na nagsabi nang "goodluck" .

Nang magsimulang maglakad papasok duon sa studio kung saan ginaganap ang audition, pilit pa ring pinapakalma ni Micha ang sarili.

I can do this. Audition lang 'to Micha. Kayang-kaya mo to. Pilit niyang isinisiksik sa isipan nya upang kahit papaano ay mawala ang kabang nararamdaman.

When she reaches the door towards the Studio, Micha sighed once again before smiling proudly, and confident.

Binuksan niya ang pinto, at bumungad sa mga mata niya ang anim na panels. Isa na duon ang lalaking umagaw sa kung ano ang mayroon si Eyvan nuon, si Seth Alfamre.

Micha walked towards the center,and then she smiled widely again while looking at the panels. "Hi everyone." She greeted, silently fighting the fears she's actually having right now.

The man from the corner smiled at her. "Hi, please introduce yourself lady." He said. Kung tama ang pagkakaalala ni Micha, isang batikang direktor ang lalaki. Madalas nya itong nakikita sa mga interviews noon.

Micha confidently smiled again. "Uhm, I am Michaella Angeles. 18 turning 19 this year." aniya.

The girl at the middle look at her, with a bitchy expression in her face. "Ready to show your talent?" she asks her.

Micha smiled. "Yes. I'm ready." aniya, at agad namang nag cue ang babae kaya naman muling bumuntong-hininga si Micha upang bumwelo sa kantang Speechless ni Naomi Scott.

Speechless

Here comes the wave
Meant to wash me away
A tide like-

"You should at least sing a tagalog song." Biglang sabad ni Seth Alfamre, na kasalukuyang nasa pinadulong upuan at nakatingin kay Micha gamit ang mataray na mukha. "Hinahanap namin is a new artist whose good in singing different tagalog songs. Kung iyan ang kakantahin mo, then you better go." anito.

Micha felt angry at what Seth has told her, but she let it slide. Imbes na umalis ay taas noo syang tumingin sa mga panels. "Okay. May hinanda rin naman po akong tagalog song if ever. Ang title nun ay Nung Tayo Pa by Janella Salvador." aniya, bago binalingan si Seth Alfamre na kasalukuyang matiim ang tingin sa kanya.
