"Good eve Ms. Rigel!" the host smiled at me. I smiled back at her. "Here is your question. What is your opinion about mental health awareness for everyone especially teenagers?"

I paused for a second and sighed. This is a sensitive topic for me but I'll to answer it anyways.

"Thank you for that wonderful question Sir. To be honest, this topic is super sensitive for me because I'm one of the people who experienced anxiety, overthinking and so many more." I faced the crowd and continued.

"For me, We should take mental health seriously especially to the teens who is suffering for a severe depression and anxiety. It's not easy to deal with those. Have you experienced questioning yourself before doing it and if you think twice, you will ended up not doing it? It is not 'You are too sensitive. Don't think about it" I imitated a voice which make the crowd and the judges laughed.

"Mental Health is serious and not for a joke and clout. We should also focus on this awareness same on others. Encouraging everyone to speak themselves and don't hide the pain is a big help."

"Everything you feel is valid. Being sad is valid. And not all the problems solved by ending your lives. Talk to someone who can understand your pain and stop hiding and running from it. That's all thank you" I handed the mic back from the host and smiled as the claps and the shouts from the audience is getting more louder.

The Lineup for this pageant in this year is so dope! They are super nice backstage and I thought someone will sabotage me but thankfully none of them did that! They are also super great at answering the questions. I'm sure I'm not going to win but it's okay! Atleast, I tried.

"I am going to announce the Miss College of Nursing Pisces and automatically the other one is going to be the first place" I held Miss Pia's hand and whispered that she did well. She also did the same. We are so nervous and we can feel each others shaking hands.

"Miss College of Nursing of Pisces is Miss Rigel!" I covered my mouth from shocked. I can feel my hand tremble. The audience screamed and shout louder and they keep chanting my name all over again. I won!

Miss Pia hugged an congratulate me. She pushed me to the middle of the stage to received my sash and my trophies.

I waved my hand as they screamed my name at the top of their lungs. I also do flying kiss to make them feel that I'm thankful.

I wish everyday is happy day.

They interviewed in a conference-like-room because they want me to give a thankful speech to those who supports me.

"Thank you for voting me and I don't actually expect that I will win since the line up this year is so good. But still thank you for cheering me out there. Be sure you will home safe" I said before I walked out and they told me that I can go home.

As soon as I went back home, I hurriedly face my mirror and I become teary-eyed. Everything is so fine. I can feel the gratitude and the love as they support me awhile ago. I'm super happy to the point na it feels I'm in a cloud 9

Someone knocked on my door and I expected, It's my Mom and Dad. They about to congratulate me but instead, they look shocked maybe because of my red eyes.

"Why did you cry? What happened? Did someone hurt you?" she said. I shook my head and hugged them tight.

"I'm sorry." I tightened my hold on them.

"For what?" Dad said.

"For not being able to pursue Fashion Designer. I'm sorry that I ruined your dreams for me. I know how much you love it Mom but I'm still thankful that you support me in my Med journey. I promise that I won't fail it again. I promised I will make you proud"

"But we are so proud of you. So proud baby" Mom said while brushing my hair.

After minutes of being hugged. Someone coughed. Here comes the idiot.

"You didn't even bother to tell me that we are going to reunion." the man said. My forehead creased as his smirk didn't fade away.

"Mom! Why the hell are you here? I thought you're not going to enter the house since Clay is barking at you?" I rolled my eyes when he went nearer on me.

"Nah. We became bestfriends" he said while flashing his smirk on me.

"He hates you. He is just plastic" I said. He tried to hit me when Dad pulled me in his back. My smirk gets bigger and bigger. He plastered an grumoy aura when Dad hold him on his shoulder. He apologizes to me and to Dad. I won.

"Tell me. Are you guys dating?" Dad said. We both laughed so hard to the point na I almost passed out

"Of course. NO. NEVER. We are just friends and he's my greatest enemy" I playful stuck out my tongue on him. He playfully rolled his eyes on me causing me to chuckled.

After that, Mom called me for dinner. She noticed that Dad is in badmood after what I've said.And of course, this guy right here is invited.

"Congrats Siri! I almost lose my voice. I keep screaming your name. Atleast now, I know you won! And ofcourse, It will never be going to happen because there is a handsome boy" he said while his mouth is full of foods. I handed him a glass of water and get some tissue. I wipe his lips, it have some rice.

"Where?" I said. Not looking at him.

He tapped my shoulder. "Here" he said. I let out a sarcastic laugh.

"The confidence dude" I said while chuckling.

We wnt to our veranda after we finished eating. I leaned on his shoulder and his hands is carefully crawling on my waist.

"You shines so bright Sirius. Don't let your shine fade by someone okay?" he said while patting my head.

"I won't let anyone do that like why would you need someone. As long as i have myself, I'm good." I smiled at him to make him feel that I'm okay when I'm truly not.

"I'm here always. You can talk to me everytime ok?" he said while kissing the top of my head.

"Are you going to make me cry?" I said. "But same. I'm always here for you too"

He chuckled and shook his head. He starred at me like I'm one of his greatest diamonds

I slapped his forehead causing him to angry stare at me. "Stop starring at me. I know I'm beautiful but it's uncomfortable"

"What? Beautiful? Who told you that?" he said.

I crossed my hands and sat far away from him. I heard him chuckled so I pouted more. The nerve of this dude.

"I'm sorry" I can still hear his playful tone.

"I will treat you tomorrow" he said while holding my hand and intertwined with his.

"Sure" I said without hesitation.He chuckled and hugged me.

I shrieked when he put me in his back. "Piggy back ride now huh?"

"Yeah. You're hella heavy bro." he said.

"It's because you didn't exercice idiot!" I said.

"Language Sirius!" he whispered.

"Hehe. Sorry"I said while he carefully putting me down. "Thank you for accompaning me. Tomorrow again." I continued while rubbing my eye.

He swiftly hold my hand and kissed me on my forehead and in temple. "Goodnight amóre" he whispered.
