BINI SHOTS!

Tadhana (Jhomikha)

"Why are you treating me dinner? Just tell me what you did wrong na kasi."

"Why do you think I did something dumb when I do something nice to you?"

"Do I have to mention every moment because that's gonna be a long list, Mikha Lim."

"Oo na, but this one is different. I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time pero you are always busy with your orgs and studies. I am finally going to tell you na..."

[Sana sasabihin mo na alam mo na ang nararamdaman ko sayo.]

"Kami na ni Aiah! You know, the senior na maganda I've been crushing on."

"Oh, that's nice."

"Aren't you happy for me?"

"I am, concern lang ako kay Ate Aiah because she has to deal with you."

"Wow ha, thank you talaga sa support."

"Walang anuman, best friends tayo."

[Best friends, and it will forever remain that way kahit anong gagawin ko.]

"Seriously though, what do you think?"

"Why does my opinion matter?"

"You're literally my soulmate, platonic. All the opinions and advices you give to me really matters because I learn from them."

[Aray, emphasized talaga ang platonic.]

"Well, I am just really happy because you always talk about her for God knows how long. You deserve this as well knowing that you were so brave to even confess to her plus the time and patience sa panliligaw. I think the surprise factor talaga in my part is the fact na she is not straight pala?"

"That's what I thought too! It's actually the main reason why I was a coward to confess but I am really glad that I took that leap of courage, it was all worth it and now legal na kami with no problems at all."

"Well, ano pa ba dapat sasabihin ko? I am so happy and proud of you, Mikhs."

[Ang galing ko talaga magpanggap.]

"Thanks, Jho. You have always been my number one supporter ever since. I wish you can have a jowa na as well para hindi ka maging bitter kapag kasama ka sa amin ng bebe love ko."

"Kadiri ka! Kain na nga tayo kasi may pupuntahan pa ako na dapat gawin ko asap."

"You don't miss spending time with me? College really changed you that you are literally too focused on stress that you are forgetting to enjoy yourself once in a while."

"I have set my priorities kaya and I still have fun! Basta, lagi ako nandito para sayo."

[Kahit noon pa, lagi ako tiklop sayo.]

*fast forward 3 months*

It is currently eleven in the evening, Jhoanna was just about to tuck herself into bed after a long day of school until her phone rang so loud at her nightstand. She checked her phone to see who the caller was, si Mikha pala. Anong kailangan ng babaitang toh?

"Whatever nonsense you are doing, huwag mo ako isali s—

"Is this a friend of Mikha Lim? I am sorry for disturbing you at this late hour pero ikaw yung recent call niya sa contacts. I just want to inform you that your friend is here at the precint of station 08. Nakulong siya dito and she needs someone to bail her out since we can just leave her for a warning sa ginawa niya na kasalanan sa biktima."

"I am so sorry, officer. I am on my way to pick her up. I'll arrive asap."

"Take your time, ma'am. She is just kept in custody so wala naman siyang pupuntahan."
