ASHLY POV
I won't tell her that we are going to Puerto Princesa after we fetch her from the airport cause we are going to gave her a surprise! We also gave notice to Kaiden's parents that we are going back there with Maeve，Kaiden's Girlfriend. He said that his parents are so happy and excited to meet and hug my bestfriend!
We just ride bus to go to the airport. We also bring our travel bags. We got off the bus And we were about to enter the airport when a familiar person wave her hand to us.

"Kaiden! Ashly! Here." She said and I run into her and immediately hugs her. "Maevee! I miss you so much!" She hugged me back tightly.
I let go of her hug and hold her hand "Let me see my friend..." I said and look at her from head to toe. "You became thinner. Did you eat a lot? My poor friend... don't worry，as long as Im here and your here，I will make you burst in full
Kaiden stood up in front of us with teary eyes. "Maeve?"
She spread her hands and approached Kaiden and hugged him，he even burst into tears after hugging Maeve tightly "I miss you. I miss you. I miss you."
I heard Maeve cried on Kaiden's shoulder as well
My eyes also became teary looking at them.

She let go of her hug and wipe his tear on his cheeks and kissed him on his lips. I look away and smiled.
When I look at them their lips are already apart
"You kiss too long hmm. Missing each other so much?" I said
She laugh and look at our backs with bags.

"What is those bags are for?" She ask
I smile and gave Kaiden a sign to start the plan.
He puts his both hands on Maeve's shoulder and pushed her back into the airport. I was the one who brought Maeve's laggage
"Where are we going?"
"Secret." Kaiden and I almost said it as one.
After our plane landing in Puerto Princesa in Palawan. We took a taxi to Kaiden's house. From the plane to the small road we are now walking. She's keep asking 'Where are we going?' and we just gave her a small laugh. When we are already in the big gate of Kaiden's parents house. I pressed the doorbell.
"Hey，Im being nervous here! Why am I being nervous hell! Why did you doorbell?"
I glared at Kaiden "Sit here for a while." I said and gave her her luggage. I pulled Kaiden "I never know that Maeve didn't know that this is in front of your house! Gosh! You didn't tell her that your lived here or just even gave her the adress of picture of your house!?"
"We just more here last 2 years. Besides，Maeve is so busy you know，doctors."
I just make face to him and went back to Maeve and waiting for someone to open the door for us.
"Guys，Im really nervous now. What are you two planning?" Maeve ask
In the few years that Maeve and I have been together, I can't really get rid of her being paranoid. Every bad things comes to her mind when she is nervous or what.
"Ohhh! You must be Maeve??" Kaiden's mother said when she come out from their gate，his father follows.
Maeve's eyes widen as she saw Kaiden's parents.
"Tita?! Tito?!" Maeve said looking so shocked.
I smiled "Surprise Surprise Surprise!!" Kaiden and I shouted
"You are indeed pretty，just how your Ashly and Kaiden describes you." Her mother said and puts her hand on Maeve's waist.
"You already know Ashly?"
"Yeah. We met on Kaiden's mother's birthday. In order to look after him，I force him to let me go with him." I said
"HA HA HA! Such a fierce strong beautiful lady." Her dad said laughing.
"Let's go inside. Its hot here outside. Maeve，let me tell you ah，we have lots of things to talk about to."
"My bestfriend and Boyfriend didn't even said to me that we are going to tita's house. I haven't even prepare gift." Maeve said while entering the gate. We followed them. His dad approached me.
"I heard you enter in a music company.."
"Ah yeah! I just did today." I said
"Then fighting! Do your best!"
I smile and nodded.
"ARE YOu tired?" I ask Maeve
"No，I got enough sleep on the flight! Today is our roadtrip! Now I know what's those bags are for." She said and pointed the two bags next to me in the chair. Tito's car is what we use to travel. Kaiden's followed with another car in the back of us. Tita said，Might didn't come cause he is busy.
We did lots of thing today like take a Boat Tour Through the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park，then Go Island Hopping In Honda Bay，Take In The Views From Mitra's Ranch. Enjoy Family Fun At Bakers Hill. Go Underground In The Caves of Puerto Princesa. Go on a Firefly Watching Cruise. We also went to Puerto Princesa City Baywalk Park (or Baywalk)， the Plaza cuartel, Nagtabon Beach. Then when we felt hungry，we ate at a restaurant. Kaiden's parents ordered Crocodile Sisig a variation of the sizzling dish that typically uses pork. The taste of crocodile meat is similar to chicken, mild flavoured and firm in texture，Danggit，Honey Nougat，Lechon Kawali，Super Creamy Halo Halo，Tamilok It tastes like oyster, but even better, many attest. It is eaten fresh and raw, dipped in coconut vinegar (sukang tuba) with salt and chili，Chicken Inasal，Lato Seaweeds，KingCrab，and Shripm. Some of the foods they order are Puerto Princesa's food delicacies.
"Its delicious." I said
"How about tomorrow we will go to El Nido? Its only 4-5 hours away from here." Tita said
"I can't Tita. I have to go back to Manila this evening. My work starts tomorrow. But Kaiden and Maeve will not be back tomorrow and stay a little longer here so maybe they could take a romantic date there?" I said and teasingly looked at Maeve
"Yeah that's a good idea but how about you Ashly?" Tito said
"Although its pitiful that I can't go with you guys but I will catch up with you in the future. Hey Kaiden，how about making your honeymoon in El Nido?"
Maeve hit me "We are not even married! Why mentioning honeymoon?"
"Its going to happend sooner or later. Why? Are you shy?"
"Ashh!"
"HEY ARE YOU really not gonna stay here a little longer?" Maeve said while holding my both hands. We are already at the airport，sending me.
"Yeah. I still have work to do tomorrow. And this coming weeks I'll be very busy." I said "Just take it as date. You too are away from each other for too long and don't have any communications."
"Oh right! My bag，it contains some of your clothes for a few days. Just bring it after you go back to Manila."
"Yeah." Maeve said "Thanks Ash."
"Welcome my babes." I look at Kaiden "Hey，don't do 'it'. Do 'it' when you two are already married."
He puts his hand on my hair and messed it "I know，I know."
"Fvck you!"
"SHALL we start now?" I asked Gabbi the morning I went to Sony for my first day of work. We are here now inside his record studio "are you ready?" he asked "I'm okay, what song are we going to practice?"
"Can you sing other genres? Because of your fashion style, you seem to be more confident in rock songs." "I can sing anything and I can change my style if needed."
"Good." He took a folder on the table and handed it to me "Try singing the songs there."
I opened the folder and read the song titles written. I was even surprised to read the other title of the song "Aren't the others here is Miss Cherry's song? This, this, this is what she sang two years ago when she won singer of the year. She sang the song 'Blossom' last year. But these are your songs, aren't they Gabbi?"
"Yeah. I want to hear you sing that song, the one Cherry sang that she won last 2 years ago and I want to know which of the songs I made can suit in your voice.
"Let's try that."
Gabbi sat down in front of the piano and started playing it. I calmed myself for a moment when I again felt the acceleration of my chest pulse. When my intro came to sing， I did my best and felt like a professional singer, as I always listened to this song. My whole heart and soul are with me in my singing. that's why my singing turned out so well.
"Is it okay?" I said after I finished the song.
Gabbi turned to me，slowly clapped and stood up "I didn’t really make the mistake of choosing you as my talent. You are good at singing ， your voice is good to hear ， and you can also adjust it from rock to pop or any other genre of song. You will replace Cherry Kim’s throne. So get ready because tomorrow I will also introduce you to other recording companies. You need to be able to release a single before Metro Pop arrives. For people to get to know you in the field of music."
"You mean ， I'm going to record a song and have an album?" I said excitedly. Am I just dreaming?! Or this is real?! My dreams are gonna come true soon!
"The truth is we're running out of time. Currently, your competitors for Metro Pop are already practicing while you，still introduce yourself to people--even though you have fans in the bars and fans of your band. Don't worry, you can still do it，We can still d it. We can still chase, I know I won't have a hard time with our practice."
"I will surely follow your instructions Boss!"
GABBI POV
I wasted no more time. I just let Ashly rest for a few hours first. When I peeked at her again, I see she had a video call of four people, two adults and two in their 20's.
A few minutes later, I called her so that we could start practicing her song, which Ashly will record for the first time for her single.
I first sang the song she was going to sing to and recorded it for her to listen to on headphones.
"Just practice first ah? We'll do the recording if its already perfect! Got it?" I said，she just did the okay sign.
I can feel that we are both inspirated at this very moment. I have nothing to say on Ashly’s skill and speed take timing. She doesn't see any difficulty in singing even though she usually sings rock songs. Her singing is also full of emotion ， she also expresses the right and proper emotions. Even before the Pop metro came, I wanted the country to recognize me again as a great composer through Ashly. I wonder why no companies have discovered Ashly’s singing talent. Every letter that comes out of her mouth caresses my heart and soul. It was as if her beautiful voice was making me feel like in a paradise. It pierces the depths of my heart. It seems like a good thing that forget one's feelings.
She carried my feelings when she finished singing.
I didn’t think that Ashly would only take a few hours to teach and make the song I had been writing for almost three weeks perfect.
"Am I not wrong?" Ashly said after placing the folder she was holding on the stand and then sat down on the chair in front of me
"You're great."
THE NEXT day I introduced Ashly to the recording studio's and Sony's partner studios. I also introduced her as my interpreter at the upcoming Metro Manila Pop Music Festival. We also went to several record studios. Others still treat me well but Its not like they used to treat me. That's not a problem for me. The important thing is that I has already introduced Ashly to them. It's a big thing if the recording studios know who will interpret the song he will participate in the MMPMF.
They will talk about Ashly and it will make her more well known. I'm already working on Ashly's single for to be release before MMPMF.
"Are we going to a recording studio or are we going home?" Ashly asked me while she's sitting oposite to mine in this private van.
"Its only one thing，you are going to record the song that we have been practicing yesterday."
"I really don't understand why we went to those other recording studios if we aren't going to record the song you made there?" They can help you a lot when your first single and album comes out. Manong，let's go back to Sony."
"Okay Mr. Gabbi."
"What are we going to do in Sony?"
"We will record at Sony's main recording studio."
ASHLEY POV
I was shocked when we entered the Sony's main recording studio. It’s bigger and more innovative than the studios we’ve been to before.
"Gabbi bro! Is she the one you say will be your interpreter at the Metro Pop Festival?"
"Yes. She's Ashly and I want you to test her voice."
"I know you, when you have a strong talent and if being lucky she'll definitely be a superstar like Cherry."
" lLet's not talk about that ungrateful woman anymore."
"You're really mad at her. Do you know she is the highest rating in the coming metro pop according to the news?"
"I'm not interested in that nonsense news. I have already someone who can bring her down."
"Is she your talent?" asked by the woman who just arrive accompanied by two other men who looked like bodyguards
"Yes Director." Gabbi replied
Ohh so he's the director? I bowed "Hello Director."
The director just laughed and raised my head again "I like her. You know girl, you save Gabbi's Contract because if he doesn't find talent, we will definitely terminate his contract with us."
"Don't worry，I won't let my boss down. I will do my best."
