GABBI POV
"Don't be nervous okay? Just as you sang it when we practiced, you'll do the same now."
"For the sake of our dreams Boss." she said and saluted me

"Let's trial first. You have to perfect the song before we can record it." Louis said
I nodded "Okay."
She looked at me for a moment, I smiled at her and thums-up, she also smiled back. The intro of her song soared a few moments later. Silence reigned throughout the studio and only the gentle ringing of the instruments could be heard. I put my hand in the pocket as it cooled. Later she started singing. Ashly's cold, gentle voice soared.
"Woohoho." Louis said as if there was a creep all over his body when he heard Ashly's singing. "I didn't know that Ashly's voice would be so great. She sings with emotion. The song goes deep and seems to caress the heart and soul."
I was enjoying what he was saying but it suddenly interrupted my delicious feeling because Louis shouted loudly at the bandmaster as it stopped.
"Break first." Louis shouted. I saw Ashly look at me, maybe she was shocked too.

"What's the matter with you Louis? Why did you ordered to stop playing?" I said as the bandmaster approached "Yeah."
Ashly also approached us "Is there any problem? I know I'm in tune and my singing is at the right time." Ashly said really nervous.
"Yeah Louis." The director said
"Fantastic, you are a professional singer Ashly. Sorry director, everyone, we don't need the trial anymore. We need to record the song. She is a professional singer."

Almost all of us blown air out and laughed.
"Fvck you Louis, we're still really enjoying listening. Let's continue the break you're saying, let's have a snack in the canteen first. Preliminary blow-out for Ashly's upcoming rise!" The director said
"Ohh Yeah!" Simultaneously the whole band shouts and Louis leads
"Boss, I can't believe the appreciation given by the bandmaster and Sir Louis as well as the Director to me."
"Because you're good so they appreciate you. Did you know that the Director is choosy in choosing a telent? But now look,she appeciate your talent,because you are good."
ASHLY POV
After we record today,they retouch my makeup and hair. Later, a set of beautiful clothes also arrived, the director herself chose what I would wear she also gave me a pair of heels
"Perfect. She's beautiful!" She said after I left the dressing room
I look at my self in the mirror,I look like a living princess in this dress plus the heels and hairstyle.
"Let's go to the conference room."
Suddenly I stopped "Conference Room?"
"Yeah. We're going to introduce you to the public. I've already invited over 20 press members."
Although I was nervous, I just followed him to what he said was the conference room.
"HELLO everyone, thank you for coming here. I know you know this people, right? So I won't intruduce them Hahaha" the director said while pointing Louis and the others.
We sat in front of the press, I was next to Gabbi and Director. Gabbi was next to Louis and the other music producers. The CEO of Sony also came for this press conference which made me even more nervous "Today,we will intruduce our new Sony's family member and she is also one of the participants in the upcoming Metro Pop and her composer is none other than Gabbi Cabrera... Ashly Dela Cruz." The director added and she said something else that I no longer understood.
Eventually I won't know what question I will answer first because of the number of press asking, it's a good thing that Boss and Louis always answer their questions that I can't answer. Until we came out of Sony, the reporters were still flooding in, if Gabbi hadn't stopped the reporters we might not be able to get away "Maybe it's always like this when there's a new talent,right Boss?"
"Yeah but not as much as earlier." Gabbi said "Btw, why you always calls me boss?"
"Because your the boss." I said and laugh
"Just call me Gabbi,its okay. I'm just 4 years older that you. And you know what? You are stunning today. You look beautiful when you dress like a lady."
My face went hot "Ha Ha Ha! Don't joke. I don't like dresses like this its too expose. I can't ride my motorcycle if I was wearing this."
"Yeah, I forgot you are a bad girl." he said and laugh
I also laugh
Even though I still didn’t know the result of my single yet I was so happy, Im so happy that little by little I will achieved my dreams at the same time I can help my idol Gabbi to regain his popularity as the best music composer. My admiration for him grew even more. I could feel his great support for me to succeed. "Tomorrow, what happened in the press earlier will surely be published on the radios and newspapers. So prepare yourself for the next few days, especially when your first song hits the markets. Just reassure yourself and we will take care of the rest."
I got out from the van when we are already in front of my condo building. I wave at him and waited for the van to leave. When I already can't see Gabbi's Van I went in.
"WHAT HAPPENED on your date?" I asked Maeve, that night after I eat we did some vc.
"Its romantic Ash! OMG! Eyy don't ask me, you. You what happened to you today?"
"Not only was I able to record, I even had a sudden press conderence. They dress me up and make me up plus the heels oh my, its so tall. You know I'm not used using high heels."
"Used yourself wearing high heels Ash."
"Tell me more about your 'romantic date' Maeve C'mon! I haven't been in El Nido!"
"This is what happened, the day we decided to go to El Nido I though Kaiden's Parent are behind our car but it turns out that they are not OMG Hahaha! We just did some cliff climbing, kayaking and trekking to waterfalls."
She said they also go island hopping around Bacuit Bay islands. Visited some beached like Nacpan-Calitang Twin Beach, Small Lagoon & Big Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, Las Cabañas Beach, Cudugnon Cave, Cadlao Lagoon & Cadlao Island. Plus view seeing and peeking at Matinloc Shrine. And they also try the Bird’s Nest soup.
And our night went like that.
The next morning, after I got dressed, someone rang the doorbell. I looked first at the pipe hole to see who it was before I opened it.
"Are you Ms. Ashly?" The man asked
"Yes. What can I do for you?"
"Your flowers."
"Flowers? Wait, where is this from?" I said
The man gave it to me "Sorry Miss, I just got an order." He said and left
"What the fvck is that?" I went inside my condo with the bouquet of flowers inside a box with a letter "Step by step, I know you can make it. You are in good hands. Fighting. From: F. From F? Who's F? I have an admirers now? That fast?"
GABBI POV
AFTER A WEEK, my friend Mr. music producer, Jonhson Walter released Ashly's single. "I really like her voice! I will bet my house and lot in Alabang, not only gold will reach her first single!"
"I have trust on her. I know she can do it. We’ve been in this kind of work for a long time so I know if someone will bite a song or not."
"Let's not waste too much time, let's now work!"
We didn’t waste any more time, we actually paid well -known DJs on radio stations to often play Ashly’s new song. Even on the tv stations I was the one who talkedto plug Ashly and the first single while Walter was talking to he other newspaper reporters.
All day until night my Walter and I soaked in radio and television stations so we could get Ashly's schedule. We weren't disappointed because Walter and I are well known in showbiz.
We got three noon TV programs scheduled for Ashly to be a guest before we decided to went home.
"IM SO happy!" Ashly said while applaused, I already informed her about the result of my walk yesterday with Walter
"Thank you Gabbi. Through you I can achieve dreams. Don't worry boss, I won't leave you like Ms. Cherry does." She sincerely says
"Have you ever heard your song played on the radio?" I change the topic because she mention that bitch Cherry. I hate hearing her name it will only make my blood boils.
"Yes Yes! The DJ also left a comment and good feedback. I know that he a is good and well -known DJ on radio stations."
I was about to answer her when my phone rangs. Its Director.
"Hello Mr. Cabrera, Ms. Ashly's single is already on spotify." She said
My eyes widen "What the?"
"I really like that kid, I know she will have a bright future. Guide her well." The director added and ended the call
"What's wrong Gabbi?" Ashly asked
I opened my spotify and search the title of Ashly's single.
"Its on the 7th ranking!" I shouted "Ash look, your single is already on the 7th ranking!"
She immediately approached me to take a look "Let me see, Let me see." Her smile widen as she saw her single's title. "Its really on 7th rank!"
"Its great that the company also puts the song in spotify. It will help you promote. The Metro Pop will be held 2months later. So we will be ready."
Within a few days, Ashly's song entered the top 10 on spotify and its ranking is #7! Ashly's guesting on TV and radio stations also helped a lot to get a lot of support from the people. Often Ashly and I are always on the front page of the newspapers.
LESS THAN a month later, Ashly received a plaque for the Gold Record Award of her first single.
Ashly's single titled "Love will finds a way" became the talk of the town. You always hear in restaurants that have videoke. Participants in amateur contests make his song a rock song. Even on tricycles with their own stereo his singing could be heard. Woman or man, young or old always sings "Love will finds a way". So a month later she achieved the highest recognition that every single singer seeks. The Platinum Record.
ASHLY POV
I never knew how to thank Gabbi for giving me a great opportunity to become a famous singer. Everytime my first single was going to won or got an award the mysterious 'F' person will always sends me some random gift with a letter. We are currently eating in a restaurant and in a private room or a.k.a VIP room. The CEO and the Director of Sony treated it because they said they earned a lot because of my single. Louis's band was in the other seat with Walter and Mr. CEO , Director , Gabbi and I are just at the same table.
"You are the first record artist of Sony who firstly won and got the Platinum Record ofcourse if Cherry wouln't betrayed us she will be the first one." the CEO said.
"FRIEND! OMG! My friend is already a superstar!" Maeve said while hugging me. We are all at Kaiden's Condo. Maeve lives in my condo with me. "When will you treat us fvck?!"
"Where do you want to eat?" I asked
"You will treat us now? Before, you even dragged me to the restaurant just so I could treat you!" Kaiden said
"Well its so hard to guard you, you know? One time, you even speed your car so that I can't catch you up but you don't know that I was already waiting for you in the place where you want to go." I said and laugh
"You don't know, Ashly is like a professional person okay? Much more better that you."
"Who do you love the most? Me or Her?" Kaiden pouted
"Her."
I burst into laugh as Kaiden went to Maeve to hug her and flood her kisses.
I suddenly felt something in my chest which I don't know what is it. I just ignore it and continue to watch them
"Hey hey! Someone is jealous here. Maevee gave me a kiss tooo!"
CHERRY POV
I was a little nervous because of Ashly’s rapid rise. Ever since I first heard her song I have been following the news about her. I was even surprised to know that Gabbi is the music composer and the one who handles her.
All I think about was that Gabbi would completely forget about being a composer. My last news about him was that he was addicted to drugs, alcohol and other bad habits. I never thought he would recover from his fall into those bad habits. I know Gabbi is very angry with me for what I did to leave him before. I just laughed at him when he threatened me that he would overthrow and make my fall to the ground painful because I knew Gabbi no longer had the ability for him to regain his popularity as a great composer. It's because he's been addicted to bad habit for the past 2 years.
I still can't forget what I did to him when he went to my condo to ask me to sing his new song again but I rejected him. I even hit him in the face the 5000 pesos and who seemed to be begging because he looked like a beggar. He became angry and even swore that he would bring me down from my throne. That’s what worries me right now. I read in the newspaper that Ashly will be the interpreter of Gabbi's song in the upcoming Metro Pop that I have also been preparing for a month.
Why I seem to have made a mistake in deciding. Because I'm too eager to the thing that Mr. Kuenko promised so I left Gabbi.
I have been in the music industry for a few years and my song has not reached gold. While Ashly was less than three months but she immediately earned the platinum record that every singer wants to have.
