“What're you thinking, Mika?”
   
  
She sighed and finally look at me. “Iyong lalaki kanina.. Nakita niya iying mukha ko..”hindi ko mabatid ang emosyon sa sinabi niya.
  
  
I look at her. She looks so terrified pero wala iyon sa pagkabigkas niya.
  
 
“..by any chance..”she look at me. “do you know him?”
   
  
Kita sa mukha ang kaniyang gulat, nagtataka. Hindi ko sinasadya na sabihin iyon ngunit mukhang tama ang aking hinala.
  
  
Nanigas siya sa kaniyang inuupuan at unti-unting tumutulo ang kaniyang mga malalamig na pawis.
  
  
Agad akong tumayo at hinawi ang kaniyang likod. “relax” iyan na lamang ang nabigkas ko.
   
  
“If you can't tell me it is fine.. I also don't plan going church tomorrow?” bigla siyang tumingin sa akin.
  
  
“bakit?” tanong niya.
  
  
“Date tayo? It's been a long time na eh.. since last date natin dahil sa church ko. I plan to give you my free time tomorror. And of course!, my treat” masiglang sabi ko. Ngumiti lamang siya at tumingin sa bintana.
  
  
I am Aya. I was raised to be a Nun but I don't want to die with those Nuns. So I open a Shop and promised that I'll serve God every Sunday. I was just forved by my Mama..
  
  
Mika, my friend. Doesn't talk a lot. She won't talk about what happen to her instead she'll say that I have to be careful of my words.
  
  
She has rare eyes. She's pretty with or without that fucking scar. Fuck to the bitch who tried to ruin her life because she's still pretty until now.
  
 
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyari sakaniya kanina. She was working on a Restaurant for a year now.
   
  
And seeing sa mukha niya kanina pag-uwi.. May tao sigurong pinilit siyang ipakita ang mukha niya.
    
   
I don't get people. Why would they do that?
   
   
Pinayagan siyang mag mask at mag sunglasses on her working hours because she said na 'what if I scared your costumer fue to my appearance?'
  
  
But everyone loves her.
  
 
Kahit ganoon ang kaniyang itsura ay mahal siya ng mga costumer na ito dahil kilala siya noon at hanggang ngayon sa pagiging tapat, magalang at mabait.
  
  
She's so clumsy before and now and that's what I liked her. Dahil kasi sa pagiging clumsy niya. Natapunan niya ako ng Coffee and that's fine.
  
  
To be honest, I was charmed by her beauty. I've never met people that have different eye color so I was charm.
   
   
We've been friends for almost 5 years and I admit na I was slightly jealous of her apperance.
  
  
“bakit ba kasi hindi naging foreigner ang tatay ko” disappointed kong saad.
   
  
Nanay ko maka-diyos lang at walang taste sa lalaki. Pipiliin pa talaga ay iyong manginginom. Hay naku.
  
  
When I met her, is the day that accident happened. The accident that almost ruined her life.
  
  
“Aya, why won't you go to sleep?” Nakatayo si Mika sa tapat ng pintuan ko suot-suot ang kaniyang paboritong sunglasses.
  
  
Tinaasan ko siya ng isang kilay.
   
  
“matutulog ako kapag nakita ko na ang natural mong kagandahan, Mika..”
   
  
She shake her head and madiin na sinabing “Then don't sleep”
   
   
Napahawak na lang ako sa aking noo.
  
  
Tumayo ako at matawa-tawang lumapit sa kaniya. “Maya-maya matutulog na ako. Maghahanap lang ako ng pupuntahan natin bukas”
  
  
She nodded at mukha namang kumbinsido sa aking sagot. Niyakap ko siya. “Goodnight na.. Sleepwell sa iyo.. Love you..”
   
  
Kumunot ang kaniyang noo, nagtataka at bahagyang sinilip ang loob ng aking kwarto.
  
   
“you weren't tryin' to die, right?” she said.
   
  
I WHAT????????
   
   
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS SHE SAYING??
  
  
“The man earlier.. I think I saw him somewhere before my Papa died...”
  
  
Napatigil ang ako sa aking kinatatayuan.
  
  
“How?” iyan lamang ang aking natanong.
  
  
She sighed. “If you don't remember that I am already turning 30 this month”
   
  
“I was 19 when that accident happened so probably you were just 8 or 9” she explained.
   
  
Ah, yeah. I am 21 and she'll be 30 this year. Damn, this age. Why did I born late?
  
  
“When my Papa died. To be honest..” she look around. “nevermind”
   
   
She was about to say it.
   
  
Damn, is she really never trust me in this kind of things?
   
  
“stop your curiousity before he finds out.”she murmur and starts walking to her room.
   
  
who?
  
  
Who will find out?
   
   
I woke up around 6 am and Mika was still sleeping so soundly so I've decided na wag muna siyang gisingin at ako na muna ang maghahanda ng aalmusalin namin.
      
   
Siguro try ko din siya ipaghanda noon bagong recipe ko at bagong kape na ibebenta ko.
  
 
“mika♥♥..I'll go to my shop please wait for me~♥”bigkas ko habang isnusulat ko sa isag maliit na papel atsaka ko idinikit sa ref.
  
  
“I am 100% sure she'll love my new dish! Haha!”proud kong sabi sa aking sarili.
