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.

Past life.Naya saw Seth Lawrence when they arrived at the airport. The latter had told her to fetch them when she said they'll take a vacation. She hadn't seen him for two months. Ever since Seth had permission to see her, he went to visit her once a month and staying a day or two. She had told him to focus on his study because she knows how busy his life taking a master's degree. But he insisted saying he likes doing it for her. He was more like a therapist when he was with her, he took care of her, he asked her physical therapist of everything about her condition and how she rehabilitate her hands. He even brought a portable keyboard the second time he visited. He told her that she should try playing if she can and assured that he's not pressuring her into playing.Her musical therapist chuckled seeing the portable keyboard and said, "I was planning to give you a portable keyboard in a week, do you have another musical therapist?"

Past life. Isang maleta ang dala dala niya pagkalabas niya ng bedroom. Nakita niyang tahimik lang ang dalawa habang naghihintay sa kanya. "We can't leave for now, may mga estudyanteng tumatambay sa labas ng dorm." Yanique said when he saw her getting out of the bedroom. "Hmm, it's fine." Sumilip si Naya mula sa bintana at tumingin sa baba para tignan ang mga tao sa labas. May nakita siyang mga pamilyar na mukha. "Hey that's-- "Yeah," magkasabay na tugon ni Seth at Yanique. Ang magpinsang Briones ang nasa labas kasama ang mga malalapit na kaibigan ni Seth na banda nila Gian. "Nagperform sila kanina sa cafe." Dagdag pa ni Seth. "Let's invite them here." She said decisively. She was thinking about MacKenzie's and Yanique's misunderstanding and doesn't think much about Kenna. She's okay hanging out with her for a while. "My frie

Past life. That night, may kung anong nagtulak kay Naya na pumasok sa Duveen. Nagpaalam siya sa dad niya at kasama niya si Yanique na pumunta sa dating school. Nagsuot siya ng cap, mask saka hoodie para di siya masyadong makikilala ng iba. Kahit malalim na ang gabi ay may iilang estudyante pa din ang naglalakad sa campus. Dinala si Naya ng mga paa sa practice center. Tahimik na nakasunod lang si Yanique sa kanya. Napadaan sila sa mga practice room na walang laman at sa pinakadulo ay nakita si Vanessa sa loob ng isang room. Tinignan niya si Yanique at nagsignal na umatras at huwag gumawa ng ingay. Hindi nakasound proof ang room na napili nito kaya rinig nila ang pinapatugtog nito. Maraming minuto din silang nakikinig lang sa labas at pagkatapos ay narinig na tumunog ang cellphone nito. Nagkatinginan sila ni Yanique nang malamang ang tita niya ang tumawag sa pinsan. Tumango si Yanique sa kanya at tahimik silang nakinig kay Vanessa. "Mom, yes mom..

Present. Napansin ni Seth ang pagkatahimik at pagkatulala ni Naya na di niya alam kung sa pag alala sa kompetisyon o sa tita nito na nakatingin sa kanila. Nilapit niya ang mukha sa tenga nito at bumulong. "Hey, are you alright?" He asked lowly. Naramdaman ni Naya ang paglapit ng mukha ng binata sa kanya kaya hindi siya masyadong nagulat sa pagbulong nito. Tumingin siya sa gilid niya at sinalubong ang tingin nito. Seth blinked a couple of times when she met his gaze. Their face are only an inch or two away from each other. They're literally looking at each other and her aunt was only a couple of meters away from them and eyeing the both of them. Naya suddenly forgot she had just reminisced her past life's memories. All on her mind was how beautiful Seth's eyes to look at and how their face are so close that with only one push, their lips would touch. She just unconsciously nodded her head.

"That may be the best interpretation of Mazeppa I've ever heard. The speed and accuracy is just on point." Sidney commented. He looked around and the crowd's loud cheers echoed inside the performance center. It was the loudest cheers he heard in today's competition. He also glanced at the judges and saw how they were smiling and clapping with the audience. He was sure, Nayasha Lopez will bag the title and bring pride in the national competition."I'm not into classic but damn, ang galing nun dude. Solid, sarap sa tenga." Sabi naman ni Travis na may malaking ngiti na pumapalakpak din. Tumingin siya kay Seth at nagtanong, "brad anong masasabi mo dun? Sure win ba?"Seth hummed and nodded slightly. "Undoubtedly, you saw how she played? That was magnificent performance. Her transition from staccato to legato, the way she use the pedal didn't ruined the clarity of the notes and she memorized the piece and played it perfectly. Sure she will get the highest score in this

Nakasandal ang noo nilang dalawa sa isa't isa pagkatapos ng ilang minutong halik at tahimik na nagkatinginan habang hinahabol ang kani kanilang hininga."I'm sorry if I didn't performed well." Seth spoke in a hoarse voice.Naya shook her head, "you don't have to feel sorry, it's good. It was a perfect kiss.""So.. can I kiss you again? Let's give it another try?" He asked in a hopeful voice.Naya wanted to laugh at Seth's face, he looked at her like a child asking for another candy.She chuckled and responded, "okay, let's give you another chance." She took the initiative to pressed her lips against his.Seth put his hand on her neck again to deepen the kiss. He licked and suck the soft and slightly plump lips before stretching out his tongue and probed in to intrude the other's mouth.When he got to completely taste Naya's mouth, Seth's soul felt like shivering.

Clear sky, good weather and a quiet place. In a whole wide space of the cemetery, a happy couple can be seen standing hand in hand in front of a tomb. "Mom, we're here again." Naya greeted as she stared down the tomb. She knelt down and caressed the name engraved on the stone. Then, she lay a bouquet of flowers in front. "I am with Seth again, he said we should come here today. Nagpapalakas ata sayo." Naya kidded receiving a low laugh from Seth. "Silly, we came here because I know your mom will happy to see you visiting her from time to time." Seth also sitted beside her. They talked and shared to her mother about the current happenings in their lives and how happy and peaceful she is now with her family, boyfriend and friends. And then they left the cemetery with her hand holding Seth's. Naya looked around and saw how peaceful the cemetery was. She remembered her rebirth, until now it's a mystery she can't figure out, until now it's still a q

Years later..Naya's supposedly death day.Seth unexpectedly dreamed of himself kneeling in front of a grave and was stunned seeing Naya's name engraved on the stone. He was crying and begging her to come back. Everything seems so real and even his pain and sorrow, it all felt so real.When he woke up, he found himself tearing up. He was relieved when he saw Naya's back in front of him. He snuggled closer to her body and hugged her tighter. He remember the date on the grave was today and it scared him more. He doesn't want to lose her, he'll lose his sanity if he was left alone without Naya in his side. He secretly sobbed as he tighten his hold around Naya.Naramdaman ni Naya ang paghigpit ng yakap sa kanya ng binata kaya napatingin siya dito at nagulat nang makita itong umiiyak. Agad niyang pinahiran ang mga luha nito at nag-aalalang tumingin dito."Hey.. what's wrong?" Naya asked worriedly.Seth shook his head. "Bad dreams, you can't leave m

Naya wanted to ask about Vanessa but she was too scared to hear what happened to her. But the next two days, she was surprised seeing Vanessa entering her room, seating on a wheel chair with Yanique on her back."You actually thought I'm dead didn't you?" Vanessa said in her btchy tone.Naya rolled her eyes on her, "see? Bad grasses don't really die easily." She countered.Vanessa tsked and thereafter, all of them laughed."I'm glad you are not dead." Naya said sincerely."Yeah, my mother kinda missed shooting the vulnerable part of my body." Vanessa replied nonchalantly."So, you can still live with us? You know my father has a lot of money and adding you to the family does not hurt. He can give what aunt Zalia can give." Naya stated honestly. She wanted to be with Vanessa and know her better."Aren't you scared of me?" Vanessa asked."Scared? No, you have a foul mouth and trust me your words are really offensive, but I

Naya just gritted her teeth feeling the minor discomfort. Oo, hindi gaanong masakit para sa kanya ang mga sampal ng tita niya. Walang wala yun sa mga sakit na napagdaanan niya. Walang wala yun kumpara sa sakit na naramdaman niya nang mawalan siya ng abilidad na makapagtugtog ng piano pagkatapos mainjure ang mga kamay niya. Tinitignan lang niya ng masama ang babaeng nasa harap niya at hindi nagpakita ng kahit konting takot o umiyak at magpakahina sa harap nito. Hindi niya yun ibibigay."Ahh.. your eyes are really telling me to hurt you more Yannie." Zalia was out of her mind. She kept seeing Yannie in front of her, looking at her like she's crazy that it infuriates her the most. She ordered for the whip and lashed Yannie while laughing."How was it Yannie, now scream! Be scared of me. You're nothing, you are worthless, you deserved to die! Beg! Beg me to stop, beg for my forgiveness."Naya was surprised when she saw Vanessa wearing black zippered jacket and black

Collapse, trampled, injuries, confrontation, car accident and rebirth. These are the words stuck in Nathan's head as he read the letter again and again.'I know it's all unbelievable, but please believe me. I survived the collapse because I already knew it will happen. I suffered in the past dad, you suffered in the past and I don't want it to happen again. Now if I head outside now, they will kidnapped me. I already sense something was up when I saw aunt Zalia came here with such triumphant smile. She knew she will succeed so I will help her.

They already expected the collab but the crowd still went crazy seeing Lavi's other side.

"This car really looks like yours." Naya said as she hopped inside the car."Hmm, and looks like you can't stay at Lawrence's for the time being." Yanique replied. "Seat belt," he reminded.Nagseatbelt naman si Naya bago nagsalita. "Yeah, they are starting to move again so we have to be extra careful now. Akala ko matatagalan pa bago sila gagalaw ulit.""I actually been wanting to ask you something."Naya looked at Yanique and tried to read his expression. "About what?" She asked."About the letter. What if the real culprit who killed your mom is the same person who is responsible for doing all of these. Napatay nga ng mga police ang pumatay sa mommy mo, pero paano kung merun ngang nagpapatay? Will you be okay facing that person?" Yanique straightforwardly and sensibly stated."I've been meeting her lately." Naya whispered. She looked at Yanique and smiled. "Then, we have another reason and motivation to find the person as soon as possible a

"Yanyan." Naya tried to wake up Yanique. Mahina lang ang pagtawag niya sa pangalan ng binata pero mukhang narinig nito.Nang buksan ni Yanique ang mga mata ay nakita niya si Naya sa pang isahang upuan na nakatingin sa kanya at nakangiti. Agad siyang nagtaka at umalis sa pagkakasandal kay Mackenzie."How did you get in here?" He asked in a low voice.Natawa si Naya sa tanong ni Yanique. "Iniwan niyong nakabukas ang pinto. Funny how you always reminds us to lock our door, but you left yours wide open.""What? I closed and locked it before I went to sleep." Agad na tumayo si Yanique at chineck ang paligid kung may kakaiba.Tahimik na pinanuod ni Naya ang binata na mabilis at maingat ang mga galaw sa paglibot at pagcheck ng mga gamit sa loob at sa kwarto gamit ang isang itim at maliit na device na parang scanner."Walang nawala at walang kakaiba dito sa loob." Yanique stated in relief and hid the scanner. He glanced at Mackenzie who was still so

Nuvole Bianche by Ludovico Einaudi. Pinili ni Naya ang piece para ilaan sa yumao niyang ina. Ang Nuvole Bianche ang isa sa pinakatumulong sa kanya na magpatuloy sa paglaban sa buhay. Ang piyesa ang tumulong at naging karamay niya nang mamatay ang mommy niya. Palagi niya iyun pinapatugtog at iyun din ang una niyang nilaro nang muli siyang nabuhay. Una niyang narinig ang tugtog nang nasa ibang bansa sila ng mommy niya at doon nanirahan pansamantala. Pinatugtog iyun ng mommy niya nang nagtanong siya ng pinakamagandang tugtog. When her mother began to play the piece it was indeed the most beautiful sound she heard. It gave her feelings she can't interpret. After the play, the melody lingers in her mind for a long time. The piece has three parts, divided by two pauses in the middle. The first and second parts have similar dynamic patterns, they start out weak and smooth. As the first melody begins, the sound unhurriedly and carefully builds to piano, and then to mezzo for
