"Rather than fall. Get up
Rather than drowning. Go swimming."
"You're singing that," said the friend.
"Because I miss my brother."
"I've said several times that we can find your brother if you only remember who he is and his songs. You can't even describe his face back then."
"I don't know why I can't remember his face, Billy. Maybe it's because of the cruelty my adoptive parents did to me."
"Eh, if you can sing that in your next recording. Maybe he's been singing it until now, if someone hears it, maybe one of those who know your brother will show up."
"What do you think?"
"Karylle 'Isay' Padilla if you really want to find your brother. You will do anything."
"Everyone? Your dad doesn't want me to let everyone know that I'm looking for my brother."
"You are the only one who is worried. When you announce about your brother, many will pretend. Because you are famous."
He burst into tears. Behind his fame. He feels what is missing.
"That's right, one. You better write the song so we can record it."
That's what one did. billy is the one who will match the music to the song.
"Rather than fall. Get up
Rather than drowning. You swim.
Rather than lose. Fight.
Instead of giving up, try try try
try try try try
try try try try
try try try try
Work hard
Rather than weakness, fight
Instead of fighting, stop!
And if rerecklamo
Just take it out
But you have to find a way
Recklamo'y no deed
It's just smooth on the tongue ah ah
Rather than fall. get up
Rather than drowning. You swim.
Rather than lose. Fight.
Instead of giving up, try try try
try try try try
try try try try
try try try try
try try try try
Work hard..."
After that, Billy and his father, who is his new manager, Ogie Diaz, left (I just didn't have a trip haha.)
"You're really good, one. I'm proud of you." -ogie
"Thank you, man."-isay.
"Is there still no news about isay's brother?"-billy
"Our investigator found ten new kiko who used to live on the street. Three of them worked for the three big syndicates in the country. One of the three changed his name and had a gay relationship. One is in jail. The other is in prison. now in a squatter area." When it is announced.
"Who are we going to go to first?"-billy
"The one in jail."
They immediately went there but only Billy entered.
"What do you need from me? Are you a lawyer?"
"No. I'm looking for my brother kiko." When lying.
"I first saw that I don't have a brother."
"Um...I used to be a girl. I'm a transgender." Lie again.
"I'm still not the one you're looking for kiko. My brother Angel died when we tried to escape. I'm sorry. I hope you find your brother." Then he left and returned to the cell.
Billy came out of the precinct.
"What happened? Is he my brother?"
"No."
Next they went to the hill of another kiko. And according to the info Billy got, that kiko has no family.
"You'd better go home, I'll be the only one going to another kiko."
One just nodded and went home. Billy went to where Vice and Jhong live.
"Will they be okay? Are you sure Jhong won't get hurt?" said a gay man
"I'm just a bad person, I'm not a liar. After tonight, he's free. It's up to you two where you go. Just don't drop us." he answered. "This is what jhong left before they left." One is your note book. "I'm sure he'll be a good song righter."
When you leave, man. Then billy approached vice.
"Why?"-vice
"I'm looking for my brother."-billy.
"What do I have to do with what you're looking for?"
"Because the investigator I hired said Kiko was jhong's former name."
"So?" even a little shocked by what he said about jhong's secret
"Maybe he mentioned to you about me if he was looking for me?"
"No. First of all, jhong doesn't have a brother. And if he does have something to say, that's what he said," he said flatly
"Is that so? Can I come in, I'll just drink some water."
"Alright." even though he was annoyed with the young man in front of him
Billy was then sent inside the house.
"You have so many posters of Isay. But why do the others seem to have tears in them?" he said in surprise.
"I was the one who drew and tore them. Jhong is very addicted to that girl. So even though I tore it up several times, he tried to make it up and stick it on the ding ding."
"What is her favorite song?"
"The after (a.n: I just invented it, it doesn't have a title like that) the whole lyrics are already written."
"The man earlier. What did he get you?"
"This is a note book. This is where he writes all the songs that come to his mind."
"Can someone read?"
Vice held out the note book.
"I only fell in love once
Because of you
You are the only content of this heart of mine
Happiness is with you
No other. It's just the beginning of the beauty."
"Jhong pa is the best at writing."
billy turned the page.
"Part king." When he reads the title of the song.
"That's good but sad." The note book was taken. "This is the best he wrote. Because it's meaningful."
"Work hard." Its title. "Rather than fall. Get up
Rather than drowning. Swim." he sang it the way someone sings.
"You're so good, how did you know the tone?"
"That's what brother kiko used to sing before we broke up." When lying. "What time will my brother come?"
"Tomorrow morning. After they finish stealing."
"He still can't leave like me."
"don't worry that's the last time he'll do that."
"Alright ba-" his cell phone didn't stop ringing. "Karylle?"
["My brother is gone." It's crying on the other line.]
"Don't worry, I'll go there ahh." hung up.
"What's the problem?" asked vice.
"Please tell my brother I'll be back tomorrow. Do you have a picture of him before then?"
vice handed the photo of him and jhong to billy then he left
