Days passed by after one of the magical events in my life. It is now the day of the Annual Spoken Poetry. Despite that I am quite nervous, I know that I am not alone in this competition. Thy Father and Alexandrius and each who supports is beside me each time.
“Today is a great day once again to start and embrace your glory and blessings, oh Father.” I said to myself as I do my morning routines and listened to praise and worship songs.
After I do my morning routine and finally wear my outfit for today, I choose to wear one of my favorite striped dress partnered with my sling bag and silver heels where I choose my hair to be fixed with a clip.
“Blessed morning sis, kind of blooming this morning, huh?” Christian has this kind of routine each time but still, despite being kind of annoying, it is still more likely a motivation to smile and start the day right.
“Blessed morning to you, could you please mind your business and where is mom?” I said, but didn’t wait for him to answer, as I already saw our mom at the corner of the kitchen.
“Blessed morning mom, I might be late later. We once again have an event later at the school premises. I'll be with Alexandrius, so don’t worry.”
“Just make sure that you eat on time and don’t forget your vitamins.”
“Yeah, sure mom. Bye” After that, I immediately went out of our house to travel to university and go to my favorite place in the garden of the school to think about such things while it is not yet too crowded.
While I was in the middle of thinking, my phone suddenly rang. I saw Alexandrius calling at such great timing, huh?
“Blessed Morning Myre, I just came from your house and mom said that you’re already at university. Are you in the garden once again near the river?”
“Blessed morning, yes I am already here kind of thinking about many things before the event later this afternoon.”
“Fine, I’ll be there. Nevertheless, I’m on my way already. Got our favorite breakfast also with me.”
“Take care on your way, remember that I love you. I’m kind of rehearsing here together with the accompaniments that I prepare for later.”
Once Alexandrius arrived, he truly had and did what he said, he holds our favorite breakfast and put it on the table in front of me and we started eating it first before making my agenda here in this place.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about what might happen later on, Xandrius. I hope I can do this once again for quite some time. You know that I’ll already stopped writing and performing, but here I want to try once again, despite the wounds it gives.”
“Don’t worry, I know that you can do it, also I’ll be there to watch you together with Chris. We will be there to support you despite the fact that mom and dad aren't here for you.”
“Thank you, Chris, despite that I don’t want to think that much, I also couldn’t ease not to think that much.” I said to him as I read once again the piece I’ll perform later.
“Sssh, think on the bright side Myre, please at least once. Remember Ms. Azure said that if neither Pen won in this annual spoken poetry, we would proceed to the annual inter competition of Spoken Poetry.” He honestly said as he tried more to cheer me up university bell suddenly rang.
“I better go now, Myre. Take care and wear your unique brave smile, as you are known for it, you might not know that much about it.” He said as he walked along the path to their department. Once he was kind of far already, I started fixing my things and began walking along the path of our department.
“Ms.Zamier.” Ms.Azure suddenly said once she saw me walking in the path to our classroom.
“Yes ma’am? Blessed Morning.” I greeted her back.
“I just wanna ask if you're ready for the event later? Also, I wanted to give this letter from the dean, Congratulations Ms.Zamier.”
“Yes,ma’am I got everything prepared. I just hope that there will be no distractions later on.”
“Perfect, let’s go inside already and start the discussion so that we can finish earlier than the said schedule and you all may practice for the event later in the hall.”
Once we entered, I immediately went to my chair together with my things while she already started her discussion just as she said earlier that she will finish the said discussion for today easily. She surely did what she said all along.
Just as the time she finished discussing everything for today, the bell rang as a sign that the class had already ended. Everyone instantly in the hall finds their respective department and section’s chair. When I found Xandrius, he was standing beside Chris in the backstage, it seemed they were already waiting for me.I had decided that no matter what happens in this event later on I would already tell Alexandrius about Hawlkins Publishing that the entry I tried to pass have been accepted and will be published soon. And if it is sold too much, I might get into their publishing company to produce more.
“There you are, sis, we've been waiting for you since a while ago.” Christian said, and get my things as he is the one who would accompany me during my performance.
“Don’t worry, I’m here already and we will nail the stage later.” I said with a strong voice all along.
“That’s the spirit we wanted from you, Myrtle Zamier, we will fight this fairly enough not thinking about what might happen later on.” Alexandrius suddenly said, will immediately prepare everything while the other is performing in front, and while waiting for my turn I couldn’t stop the feeling of being nervous and fear of what will happen or who is the judge in front is just some of the questions in my mind right now.
Minutes passed and the emcee already called my name. I and Christian were shocked to see who is one of the juries for the event. It is our mother, he immediately whispered and said “Think about where this is for. Don’t mind her in front of you. Think of your goal in this event.” as he knows that what I feel will be more, as we both know how our parents disagreed with what I wanted all along.
“You’re right Chris, let’s do this now or never.” I said to him as he nodded and started strumming the guitar with it’s solemn tune to match the piece I would perform. After that, I immediately began my performance, not thinking about who was around me.
“Thank you Chris for accompanying me.” I said after we performed.
After I performed, minutes passed once again and the awards began. I might be nervous, but I know that no matter what happens, I did my best.
