I Borrowed Him : Diary Luna
Season 2: Episode 9

After the music stopped and I also finished singing the song I was performing, Grece and Yohan immediately applauded while standing up. I also heard boisterous applause from the audience present just after Grece and Yohan clapped, I lowered my head slightly to give my gratitude to all of them.

I think at that time I smiled with happiness, the floodlights were dimming and other lights were starting to light up all over the stage. Now that I could see Grece, Yohan, and master Jhonson clearly in front of me, I again lowered my body to give them a gesture of gratitude. I laughed a little and my heart felt happy...

Yes. I feel happy...

A feeling that I had long been silent and I had forgotten, I was dissolved in sadness and darkness for more than two years. I almost forgot how to be happy and laugh, I forgot all about it. Today became the turning point of what I had lived for two more years, a time when loneliness, sadness, and self-disappointment were familiar to me.

My breath gasps.I feel like singing in an ordinary way without forcing myself, but somehow I get breathless like this. But if I feel even deeper.I may be too happy today, my heart beats fast, my heart feels flowering - flowers.I am happy :).

"The lunar!! you are amazing, at the beginning I knew you would sing a song from Avril Lavigne under the title Wish You Were Here, I felt that you were underestimating this competition. But you brought it with passion, we really felt the soul of the song" Yohan said praising me, I smiled at her and bowed my body a little while saying...

"Thank you." I replied in a gasping voice, gasping because my breathing was still not normal

"There are those who say if it is beautiful, even if it is not groomed, it will still look beautiful. Those words really fit to describe how good your voice is, officially I became your first fan in this competition!" exclaiming Grece praised me, I chuckled as I looked down and thanked him.

"Well Lunar, although you get compliments but here I want to criticize you a little bit" joked Mr. Jhonson to me, as soon as the voice of "BOO.." from the audience sounded.

I saw Grece and Yohan simultaneously staring at Mr. Jhonson at the same time, but it seems that Mr. Jhonson did not flinch and will still criticize me. Well... Of course I won't be able to satisfy everyone right? so I wait for the critics to build on it and hope I can improve on the next challenge.

"We're here to criticize, so don't blame me for saying that" said Mr. Jhonson as the audience's "BOO" voice subsided

"What is Mr. Jhon?" ask Yohan curiously

"It is true first said Yohan if you seem to be underestimating this competition.." not yet finished Mr. Jhonson said, Grece suddenly cut it.

"There's nothing wrong with the song, Lunar brought it very well and I think we're here enjoying the song" Grece defended me, and Mr. Jhonson looked back at Grece

"Miss Grece, come on. We're judges so we have to be objective" said Mr. Jhonson, as soon as the voice of "BOO" from the audience was heard again.

"Have, please Mr. Jhonson" said Yohan trying to mediate, then Mr. Jhonson looked back at me.

"The competition must show the best in every challenge, you can not delay - procrastinate to show your ability because not necessarily tomorrow you will survive" said Mr. Jhonson to me

"Sorry Mr. Jhonson, I'll fix it in the next challenge" I said

"Secondly, I don't know what you were thinking about performing today. But the clothes you use are also too simple, is it possible that you really intend to underestimate this competition?" asked Mr. Jhonson to me, I immediately stared at my appearance from the shoes to the clothes I was wearing at the time.

"There's nothing wrong with Lunar's performance, he's wearing clothes that fit the song he's performing" Grece said

"Well because it's Miss Grece, I think the Lunar underestimated this competition too much. Maybe he felt that the competition was just a mere game" Mr. Jhonson firmly said, as soon as the "BOO" sound from the audience was heard again.

"Calm down everyone, we hear what the Lunar answer is" Yohan said.

"Aaah.hmm, it's actually not as simple as Mr. Jhonson said about the song selection, I chose that song because I felt on the first day of this competition I had to read the winning chances and the ability of the other participants" I replied with a smile and a tone as friendly as possible

"Hoo so this is your strategy huh?" yohan asked me, I nodded my head a few times.

"True, I have to read the situation as well as the song that my opponent just brought me. If before the opponent plays a song with a fast beat, I will lower the beat a little so that the sound of the song I sing does not make a big difference and affect the mood of the listener" I replied, immediately applause from Grece, Yohan and the audience sounded boisterous.

I gave a gesture to thank them, not long before Aiko and Mr. West walked over to me. They returned to the show for the next turn of participants, I was directed to go backstage again. Behind the stage that was a place for the participants to wait, I was greeted by other participants who looked enthusiastic looking at me.

"Aaaa I won't win because of you, Lunar. You evil~"

"Hey, you're taking vocal lessons? how do you sing like that?"

"Although we're competing, but I'll be your number two fan after Grece"

Alternately they all gave me compliments, I really don't know why they praised me until it was like that. The positive response of people to me seemed excessive, "Am I really singing as well as that? they're mocking me or what?" ask in my heart

"Hey, very good appearance. Where does the technique of performing a song full of soul like that come from?" peter asked me, I looked at him in wonder because I did not understand what he had just asked.

"Full spirited?" much

"Yes, you performed the song as if you understood the soul of the song very well and you delivered it to the listeners until they felt what you were thinking and feeling" Peter replied

"Ordinary, he brought it just like everyone else. You guys why the hell? too much" said Manda, sounding very upset, I laughed a little and walked past them all.

"Thank you for the compliment, let's fight until the end together and try to continue being the best" I said as I walked past them all.

I sat back where I was at first, in a corner of the room with a glass window. I looked up at the clear sky that afternoon thinking about what Peter had just said about songwriting, and I immediately thought about Anthony's brother Justin... I learned from him to perform the song well and get to the audience.

"Sister Justin...What have you been doing for two years?" I murmured, I remembered all my memories with him from the time I was five until the last time I met him at the age of sixteen.

"Justin huh? is that the name of the guy you dropped?" peter asked, I was surprised again at that moment because I was completely unaware Peter was near me and even he heard my murmur.

"Peter!! I told you not to fuck me!!" I snapped at him, I was so angry back then that he responded to my anger with a laugh.

"Yes, sorry, I didn't mean it. Really, you like to daydream" he said with a satisfied laughter sounding, I immediately turned to him without responding to any words.

"Hey I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I was walking behind you, but you didn't even notice when I was sitting next to you. What makes you dream often?" peter asked me, I let out my breath hard enough for him to understand I was mad at him.

Suddenly he thrust me a chocolate bar from behind, I was surprised because suddenly he gave me chocolate. I brushed off his hand then turned my body to look at his face, he smiled then pointed behind where the other participants were gathered together.

"Don't get me wrong, I gave them all the same chocolate. No matter women or men, I do like to share chocolate with my friends" he said

Feeling that this was not a special act that only he dedicated to me, I thought that it wouldn't be a problem between me and Manda if I received Peter's chocolate. So I took the chocolate in Peter's hand violently, I opened the chocolate pack and ate it. When the sound of Peter's laughter was heard again, I turned to look at Peter's face while continuing to enjoy the chocolate he gave.

"What?!" ask me with a clash

"You're funny, do you know that your attitude can easily attract the hearts of your opposite sex?" ask Peter

"Peter!!" I snatched at him

Peter kept trying to tease me and the more I got annoyed with him, I wanted this day to end because I couldn't stand what Peter was doing. He bothered me so much with jokes and words, he said, although I didn't want to respond and be careless but it was useless because Peter always managed to attract my attention.

Until a few minutes passed, all participants had appeared to show their abilities. We were called all up on stage and there the judges consisting of Grece, Yohan and Mr. Jhonson would decide who would come home on this first day.

On the first day of this competition I did not win because my grades were ten points adrift of Manda, I became the second champion and Peter became the fifth champion. Manda looked very happy at the time and I was happy for her, she made fun of me by sticking her tongue out at me but I responded with a smile and a small laugh.

My path to achieving my dream is still long, it is still the first day and there will be the next day that somehow happens. These two years I've been living a flat life without any interaction and conflict, well, it's because I shut myself out of the outside world, but I don't regret what I've been through. I will try to continue to enjoy my life well.
