Destined to be together

Chapter 27

WHY IT FEELS LIKE A Déjà vu.... AGAIN.........

One and half years after graduation. Aiah and Mikha were busier than ever because of their respective work in the corporate world. Their time for each other became less than time went by, and they consumed both either by work or they didn't have the same days off.

And every time they are together or even with friends, they end up arguing. Their communication were also becoming less. The honeymoon stage ended, and they came to a point that they started to be stranger to each other. Both tried to reach out but failed.

Mikha lowered her pride in the end and started wooing Aiah again. She tried to work less, so she can spend time with her more. She cooks and prepares food for both of them, so they can eat lunch together in Aiah's office. Not only that, but she saw Aiah one time getting cosy with Akira, her office mate, and she asked about it. Aiah got annoyed when Mikha became jealous and asked her to stop dropping by the office for lunch.

Mikha attempted to listen and reach out, but Aiah dismissed her approached and ended up getting irritated. Then, arguments were filing up and spending time together was not amendable any more. Mikha blamed herself for not extending her patience and understanding of the situation.

Aiah asked for them to break up. Mikha begged not to, and asked to give her another chance, to give their relationship a chance. But Aiah remains adamant. She wanted to end things with her. And there was nothing any more left than binds them together, as what she said. Mikha was devastated, but what can she do if she was the only one who wanted to fight for their relationship.

Mikha had a difficult time getting back up since. Then, an opportunity to work in the US opened for her, and she grabbed it, so she can start a new life.

Mikha feels so weak, it feels like someone poured the whole bucket of ice-cold water on her. She felt numb, and she slumped on the floor, crying her hearts out. Then Stacey came in blobbing how fantastic she extended 3 days away from her. She never noticed Mikha at first until she put her luggage down.

She rushed into her friend's position. "Mikhs what happened? Why are you crying?" Stacey gets worried. The last time Mikhs felt this way was when she and Aiah broke up.

Mikha just keeps on crying, her breathing becomes rapid, "Stacey there, is nothing left now. I've tried to forget her, but why? The only thing I do is to love her... What did I do to deserve this? I am hurt now..." She is still sobbing non-stop.......

Stacey went to the cupboard, took something out from there and a glass of water. "Mikha please, take this medicine first and will talk later. But for now, you need to shower and rest". Stacey guided her to the shower room and prepared all her clothes. When Mikha came out of the toilet, she guided her friend back to bed. Covered her with a blanket and lay down next to her while stroking her hair. Stacey feels sorry for her friend. She doesn't want her to go back to her old ways again. An old Mikha who works like a robot, who drinks each night to ease the pain until she falls asleep. Who hooks up with random girls to find someone to fill in her longing for her?
