“Punyeta!” Miguel banged his hands on the piano. He grabbed the music sheet on top, crumpled it and threw it on the wastebasket.

He was working on a song that he wished to be part of his album, yet he could not find the right words to fit his mood. I am not inspired, he thought. It had been almost a month since he called off his relationship with Bea Munoz. They had been together for three years. After PDA, they decided they were better off as friends. Bea is now with Van Pojas, also a contestant of PDA.

He thought about his lunch with Laarni, earlier in the day. Laarni, he thought. He played some keys on the piano again. This time, it sounded much better than the first.time. He then sang the lyrics playing in his head…
“Paano na kaya? Di sinasadya… Di kayang magtapat ang puso ko. Bakit sa dinami-rami ng kaibigan ko, Ikaw pa?”
