Bini: In Parallel Universe

XXV: Born To Win

Mikha's POV

I stopped from my track the moment I heard an angelic voice. I'm not a nosy kind of person but hearing someone's voice as good as this made me hypnotize. It's deep, soothing, and seductive in a good way. 

The girl is singing Tadhana. 

"Am I that good?"

I froze on my position and was brought back to reality when I heard that. God, she caught me. 

"Uhm .. ahm .. I'll just get my friend's guitar." I answered stuttering. "I'm sorry I interrupt you." I even added. Gladly, this time I said that smoothly. Remind me later to kill Colet for leaving her guitar here. 

"Oh? And here I am thinking that you're stalking me, huh?" she teased. 

"What? No!" I even raised and wave both my hands to emphasize my point. "I'm not! I swear! I'm not a creep!" I added thinking that, that statement will even help.

Clearly not when the most gorgeous girl I encountered chuckled. Did I made her laugh? Nope, not a chance. Maybe she's messing with me. That's one of the hobbies of those popular kids. They're making fun of us "average" and "nerdy" like kids for their entertainment. 

"You're unreasonably cute ..." she stated when her chuckles subsided then look at me intenly. "...and for what?" she questioned. "I mean, if you're not going to ask for my name, right?" she answered her own question, and this time I swear I'm already lost with what she's talking about. 

Is she hitting on me? I mean, me? I asked myself.

I just stared at her, not knowing what to respond. 

I was brought back to reality when she snapped in front of my face. 

"Hi?" she greeted with a tease. "Hmm, this is the part when you'll extend your hand and say your name." she continued, still wearing her teasing smile. 

I know it made me more plastered than I'm already are. 

"I-I'm Mikha." Again, I stuttered. "My name is Mikha Lim." I repeat now with my extended hand waiting for a hand shake.
