Your POV

Saying goodbye to Sano-san and other hospital staff after my shift is finished for the day, I began to walk back to the place as I recalled the game of shogi that we played earlier. He taught me how to play but I can't beat him even once.

Through the days that I took care of him, he would often give me advice for self-defense after the bruise on my neck thing. I accepted since it's free tips from a master. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to be ready right?

I entered my apartment and a cold silence greeted my return. It's almost been a week since Mikey left but it felt like he's been gone for years. Why do I miss a stranger who I barely knew about?

We even barely held a proper conversation when he was here.

With I tired sigh, I put down my bag and went to my bedroom and prepared a bath for me to relax.

I stared at the ceiling while laying down on the bathtub, soaked in warm and fragrant water. I sighed before sinking in and taking a deep breath.

Kurokawa Michael. Who are you, really?

Bakit ka hinahanp ng puso kong nakalaan para sa iba?

[T: Why does my heart long for you when it's reserved for someone else?]

My phone was ringing when I was drying my hair after taking a bath. The caller was my friend Cia.

"Uy musta naman jan?" She asked

[T: Hey, how are you doing there?]

"Mabuti naman, eh ikaw?" I asked

[T: I'm good, how about you?]

"Sana ol, hay naku. Alam mo ba, kaninang umaga sumugod yung babae ng ex mo sa dorm natin dati at hinahanap ka." She said with a tired sigh.

[T: Good for you. Did you know, your ex's side chick came to our dorm to find you.]

"Huh? Bat naman?" I asked while I sat down on my bed.

[T: Huh? Why though?]

"Ewan ko dun. Galit na galit parang tigyawat sa pwet. Siguro dahil hiniwalayan na nung basurang ex mo." She explained.

[T: I don't know. She was so angry like a pimple on the butt. Maybe because your trashy ex broke up with her.]

"Luh, pake ko dun. Pinaubaya ko na nga para magsama ang basura at basurahan diba?" I said with a chuckle.

[T: What do I care about the? I already gave them chance so the garbage and garbage can will be together, right?]

"Kaya nga pero nakakainis kasi akalain mo, sumunod pa sa akin ng ilang araw. Nagbabakasakali na mahanap ka." She said

[T: Yeah but it's just irritating. Can you believe that she followed me for days, hoping to find you.]

"Eh ano na nangyare?" I asked

[T: And what happened?]

"Ayun, pinadampot ko sa pulis." She said and we both bursted in laughter.

[T: I called the cops on her.]

I'm thankful for Cia because she called at the right time. It reduced the feeling of loneliness that I was feeling earlier.

"Oh, sige punta muna ako at may night shift ako ngayon, ingat ka jan." She said after we had a chat for an hour.
