I Borrowed Him : Diary Luna
Season 2: Episode 8

The conversation between me and Peter came to a standstill when Peter was called by the committee to prepare to perform, he left me with a message to let me let him find out about what really happened. I wanted to try to believe in Peter, but on the other hand I couldn't believe that Grece was lying to me. Who's actually lying here, "Aaaa~ shit! I can't focus on my competition!!" I shouted in my heart.

After a few minutes, Peter went back into the waiting room for the participants. I saw him walking towards me, but I immediately stood up and was about to leave that place so that Peter would not sit next to me again like that. Not without reason did I do that, Manda's sharp gaze on me during my conversation with Peter made me have to avoid Peter immediately.

"Hey, I wanted to discuss our problem earlier" Peter said as we passed by

"There's no need to discuss if you don't know what's going on yet" I said, then passed by and approached the entrance to the stage

Near the door I saw a box of sound system equipment that I thought I could make a seat, so I just sat in the box and not long Manda came to me because it was time to perform. We looked at him, but I tried to ignore him as if I wanted to signal that I didn't want to get involved with him.

"Talk are you with her?" chirped Manda on me

"Nothing is important" I replied briefly

"Hmp...really? it seems like an important thing because your faces both look serious" Manda said again, then I let out a long sigh before chiming in Manda's words.

"Manda.I told you I'm not interested in Peter, my taste is much higher than you might imagine. If only you knew what kind of man I had dumped, maybe you would try to get close to the man of my choice" I replied

"You are so arrogant!! I think you're the kind of good guy, apparently.." Manda's not done talking, I cut him off.

"Both bad someone in the eyes of others it depends on how we look at the person, maybe I am bad in your eyes but in the eyes of others I am good. And vice versa, we better focus on the goal of being a winner" I said then I threw away my face to avoid continuing to argue with him, manda's angry voice was heard because she was not satisfied with the results of the debate between us.

Not long after the committee called Manda to perform, along with that I saw a television on and broadcast this talent show. I approached the television and saw what channel the show was on, considering that Grece was the son of the owner of the famous Werner Group... I think we're going to perform on one of the big channels of Werner Group right? but it seems like what Grece said was true...

Our show was shown on a local channel, yes, although I know this local channel is also one of the Werner Group's, but it means there are not many viewers who can be netted through this event. "It looks like Grece really has to start his career from the ground up, hopefully I can help you, Grece" I said in my heart.

Not long after I saw Manda performing from the television screen, performing a song from Sia under the title Chandelier, "It looks like Manda wants to destroy my mentality, she performed a difficult song on the first day of the competition" I said in my heart. The song started, I was quite impressed with the way Manda performed the song. She sings it in her own style, though I feel that Manda is pushing herself too much.

"You're trying to provoke you" chirped Peter who, from when he was next to me, was surprised to take a few steps back.

"Peter!! don't forget that!!" I snapped at him, Peter just laughed in response to my anger.

"I'm not trying to surprise you, you're just daydreaming" said Peter, I exhaled a little hard so Peter knew I was mad at him.

"Manda has been a good singer ever since we were in elementary school, but the first day brought a song full of techniques like this. I'm sure he's provoking you" Peter said.

"Not only me, he's showing his class in front of all of us" I chimed in annoyance, but Peter laughed again in response to my words.

"Lunar, after this you will perform. What song are you going to bring?" ask Peter

For a moment I was silent, I didn't even know what song I wanted to perform. Seeing Manda's stunning appearance made me want to show off as well, but if I think back on it, it would be too soon if I just took out all my abilities. To help Grece better I look to improve day by day rather than having to show the pinnacle of my abilities.

"Avril Lavigne's... Wish you were here. I'll bring you that song." I replied.

"Hmm... Isn't that song too simple to fight Manda? I don't want to doubt your ability, but I feel that Manda will win this first challenge if you perform the song" Peter said, laughing and staring at Peter.

"Sometimes the main character has to lose at the beginning and crashing in the back" I said with a little laugh

The two of us laughed together, it seems familiar with Peter is not too bad right? maybe I've been too antipathetic to Peter's presence ever since Manda gave me a warning, but well, I'll try to be more open to Peter and Manda if I can.

Not long after Manda finished performing a song from Sia with the title Chandelier, praise from the judges was thrown despite Manda getting some correction and criticism from Yohan and Grece. From mister Jhonson? ooh come... Manda the son of the lord of Jhonson, where perhaps the lord of Jhonson will give criticism even though it will build. My view of Mr. Jhonson not giving any criticism to Manda was also felt by Peter, he said that if nepotism was running now and we were laughing again together.

Not long after Manda was seen opening the connecting door between the waiting room participants with the stage, she looked at me with a cynical smile of disdain. He wanted to provoke me like Peter said, but unfortunately I was not provoked in the slightest because I had a clear purpose. "I have to help Grece to lift this event to be glimpsed by many people" I said in my heart when I saw Manda who looked down on me.

"Defeat that Miss Lincoln, I'll show you who's boss here" Manda said, just silently staring at him.

"Hey I'm talking to you!!" manda snapped at me, but soon a committee called my name.

"I go first" chirped me after my name was called

I knew Manda was very upset at that moment because I did not react in the slightest to her provocation, I just walked by and walked towards the door that was the link between the waiting room and the stage. There I met a man who was the organizer of the show, he asked me what song I was going to sing and I said if I was going to sing the song I told Peter.

Immediately the man ran inside the stage to coordinate with the music accompanist, I noticed there was a bit of debate between the music attendant and the man. But it seemed like the small debate had been overcome just like that, the man ran back to me while saying

"Miss Lunar, the song you're about to perform is too simple. Are you sure you're gonna bring me that song?" ask me

"I'm sure" I replied

"Well, we're going to play that song with the basic tone of the original renderer's standard. Do you want to be raised or lowered?" ask me again

"Play exactly the same as the original singer, thank you" I replied

The man again ran up to the music team and delivered what I had said, not long after the man gave me a hand gesture so I could walk closer to the stage. There I heard Aiko's voice calling my name, a round of applause was heard even though I knew that our audience had very little. I walked and the curtain before me was lifted, now I could see Yohan, Grece and master Jhonson sitting in the front seat of the other row of spectator seats.

The highlight of the lights now leads to me, the applause was also felt echoing in the not too spacious room. "This will be the first day to live my dream" I said in my heart, I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "You can Luna!!" muttered

I walked towards the middle of the stage when Aiko and Mr. West who became MC left the middle of the stage, the lights went off and the remaining spotlights were pointing at me. I really feel on a big stage with real competition, Grece arranged the show very well. Not long after the music sounded...
