Like the usual, Naya and Yanique have the same course schedule on their music history. Their class is in the sophomore's building. On their way to the class, Naya and Yanique came across with Vanessa. Recently after seeing her cousin again, Naya always crossed path with the girl.
"Naya, I saw you again." Vanessa said to Naya and glanced at Yanique.
Naya noticed Vanessa's burning gaze at Yanique. The girl is not really hiding it at all and Naya knows that Yanique noticed it too.
"Hey, you again." Naya replied.
"Duveen's annual violin and piano competition is approaching, you think there's a master professor who will recommend you?" Vanessa opened up, her tone had a hint of mocking.
Naya smiled at Vanessa, "hmm I don't know. Let's see."
Naya didn't really want to exchange mocking or any inappropriate words with her cousin. Ayaw niyang magsayang ng laway at oras para lang labanan ang walang kwentang pang kukutya nito. Kung maglalaba

Naging usap usapan ang tungkol sa announcement para sa nalalapit na annual competition. Ang pinaka pinag uusapan ay ang pangalan ni Naya na tatlong beses na nakasulat sa listahan. May kumuha pa ng litrato dun at pinost sa forum. Marami agad ang nag komento pag ka post ng list sa forum. Comment 1: Damn I can't believe three master professors actually chose Nayasha Lopez. Comment 2: Two of the mps who chose her are both Duveen, Mrs. Madisson and Ms. Rosie Leigh. Comment 3: There are only two freshman who made it on the list. I'm not familiar with the other one but she was always with Nayasha. And they're both recognized by the Duveens. Comment 4: Nayasha Lopez is really powerful. I think we can all agree that she will win the national.▶reply: +1: +2: +3: +4:.... Comment 5: Oh don't forget about Nayasha's cousin. Vanessa is also on the list, damn this year's competition is really interesting. Comment 6: Vanes

Sa sumunod na weekend ay dinala si Naya ng dad niya sa isang private indoor shooting range na sa tingin niya ay pag aari ng mga Sanchez. Nakasunod sa kanila ang isa pang sasakyan na may dalawang bodyguards at isang doktor. Kasama nila Naya si Yanique sa sasakyan, alam na ng dad niya na nalaman niya ang totoong pagkatao ni Yanique. Hindi naman nadismaya ang ama niya nang sabihin ni Yanique ang natuklasan niya. Mukhang expected na nito na hindi magtatagal ay mahahalata din niya at malalaman na personal security niya si Yanique. Pagdating sa lugar ay si Yanique ang nagdala sa kanila sa loob. Sumunod sila papasok at nakitang nandoon ang ama ni Yanique. Nakangiti itong sumalubong sa kanila. Pinakilala naman ni Nathan ang anak at ang doktor na kasama sa kaibigan. Yanique's father and the doctor greeted each other. "So this is your daughter Nayasha? She doesn't look vulnerable to me." Yanique's father commented while looking at Naya. Inak

Everyone panicked when they saw Naya cried in Seth's arms. Nathan was the most worried, he quickly signaled the doctor to get ready. He was just right beside the two looking at them with mixed emotions.Seth didn't know what's the right thing to do, he just caressed Naya's back and head to calm her."It's okay, it's okay.. you're okay. Just let it out. We're here." Seth gently said. He thought that Naya was hurting and had flashbacks that's why she broke down and cried. But in a minute or two Naya loosened her hold and faced him with tears on her face. She smiled at him and hugged him again before separating her body from him."I'm okay, I'm just overwhelmed with happiness." Naya said to Seth and dried her tears after taking off the eyeglass. She also took off her ear protection and then faced her father. "Dad.." she hugged her father who looked really worried. "Dad, I'm okay dad.""I was scared and worried." Nathan replied in reli

Dahil palaging busy sa school, sa pag practice at paghahanda sa nalalapit na kompetisyon ay di na namalayan nina Kenna at Naya na may isang araw na lang sila bago ang araw ng first round ng kompetisyon."This thing is getting real, I can't believe I'll have my first competition as a violinist." Kenna said in uncertainty. They are in the studio in the basement of the cafeteria. Kenna is practicing her piece and she asked Naya to observe her play."You'll be okay, you have a good choice of piece and you play it really well." Naya replied."I'm just a little nervous, did you also felt this way during your first competition?""Hmm, pero halo halo yung nararamdaman ko pagkakita ko ibang players. Oo mayroong kaba pero excited din na magpatugtog sa harap ng katunggali at audience. You know you get people to hear your play and show off your talent. Okay lang maging kabado pero dapat hindi lalamang sa excitem

Past life."Naya, good to see you again hija. You don't look good, are you okay?" Zalia asked her with worried face."I'm okay po tita, just a little nervous." Naya replied.Zalia Bernardo del Rosario, her mother's older sister. Like her mother, her aunt Zalia is also a Duveen's professor and teaches senior students. Noong nagtuturo pa ang mommy niya sa Duveen ay nasa Eastman ang tita niya pero simula nang umalis ang mommy niya sa Duveen ay lumipat ang tita niya ng school at ang pumalit sa mommy niya sa Duveen."You should not be nervous, Vanessa is your contender today, you two will make a good competition. You'll be fine." Her aunt Zalia comforted her.Tumango si Naya dito at nagpaalam na pupuntang backstage. Tahimik naman na sumunod si Seth sa kanya pagkatapos nitong magpaalam sa tita niya. Pagdating nila doon ay tinatawag na ng organizing committee ang mga pangalan ng players

Past life. They continue to practice after Yanique left. In the middle of the night, Seth also received a call and excused himself telling her it's his father. Medyo napatagal ang usapan ng mag ama kaya lumipat si Naya sa couch na nandoon sa music room. Binuksan ang cellphone at nakita ang bagong message galing kay Yanique, nagtitext ito every twenty minutes para icheck ang kalagayan niya. Di niya namalayan nakatulog siya sa couch. Pag gising niya ay nasa kama na siya. Kinabahan pa siya nang makita na hindi pamilyar ang kwarto pero kumalma din agad nang maalalang nasa apartment siya ni Seth. Madaling araw siyang nagising, lumabas siya sa kwarto para uminom ng tubig. Nakita niyang nasa sofa sa living room si Seth natutulog. Napangiti siya at lumambot ang puso habang nakatingin sa natutulog na binata. Napakaconsiderate nito at hindi mapagsamantalang tao kaya kanina palang tiwala siyang hindi siya mapapahamak na kasam

Past life.The next day Yanique visited her again."I have not found any envelope on your drawer. I searched on your table too but I saw nothing." Yanique said when he settled inside.Kumunot ang noo ni Naya. Sigurado siya at naalala niyang nilagay niya ang sulat sa drawer niya. Kahit na medyo magulo ang isip niya noon, nakuha pa din niyang itago ang envelope dahil naisip na magagamit niya yun sa susunod. Hindi niya mapigilang isipin na kung walang kinalaman ang roommate ay isang taong may kakayahan na maka access sa buong building ng school ang may kinalaman sa nangyari sa kanya at maaaring nagtatrabaho sa Duveen o kung kalaban man ng daddy niya ay may kilala ito sa loob. Nawala ang envelope hindi dahil naiwala niya kundi dahil sinadyang kunin iyun sa drawer niya para alisin ang anumang ebidensya."What's with the envelope anyway? Is it important? I can look at it again next time." Yanique added.
