NO ONE'S POV
"Stop already with flirting, bai! Lasing na lasing na si Miks. Baka magkalat pa 'yon dito, kasama pa naman natin sila Aiah," Colet said, pulling Jhoanna away from a girl she was busy kissing.
Jhoanna was stunned by Colet intervention. They made their way to the counter, where Mikha was already sleeping while Aiah tried to wake her up, habang nanunuod lang si Jeremy and Jazz na parehas na rin tipsy.
"Kami na, Aiah," Colet said and stepped into para gisingin si Mikha.
"Ako na, I'll drive her car na lang. Total, magkalapit lang apartment namin," Aiah insisted.
"Are you sure, Aiah? Miks is really wasted baka mahirapan ka," singit ni Jeremy, concern evident in his voice.
"Yeah! Al is a little bit messy when she's drunk, so I'll take her home. Just help me bring her to her car," Aiah explained, giving Jeremy a reassuring smile to ease his worry.
"Besides Jazz looks tipsy too, Ikaw na bahala sa kaibigan mo." Puna ni Aiah sa babaeng kanina pa kasabayan ni Mikha uminom.
Napansin naman ni Jho at Gwen na iba ang tono ni Aiah.
"Kami na lang, Aiah. Kami naman kasama ni Mikha pagpunta rito. Baka may ganap pa kayo ni Jeremy," Colet insisted.
Nakatanggap naman sila ng masamang tingin galing kay Aiah.
"Exactly! You dragged her here kaya she's wasted na naman. Late pa lang siya kanina dahil late nagising, then baka bukas late na naman siya because of partying. Ako na maghahatid sa kaniya to make sure na makakapasok siya bukas sa major subjects niya," Aiah said firmly, giving them a warning look.
Napalunok naman si Colet dahil sa kaunting takot kay Aiah habang si Jho naman ay medyo pasuray-suray na rin sa tabi niya, katabi di Gwen na kafacetime ang girlfriend at walang pake sa ganap sa paligid n'ya.
"Okay," sagot ni Colet at lumapit kay Mikha para dalhin sa kotse nito.
"I'll get going, Jeremy. Thanks for tonight," paalam ni Aiah kay Jeremy, giving him a kiss on the right cheek.
She didn't wait for Jeremy's response and hurriedly walked to her best friend's car.
Naabutan naman niyang inaayos ng pwesto ni Colet si Mikha habang si Jhoanna ay nakaupo na lang sa tabi ng kalsada na tinatawanan lang ni Gwen.
"Pisti ka Miks bantot mo uminom." Reklamo ni Colet.
"Thanks," Aiah said to Colet after Mikha was settled properly in the backseat.
She went to the driver's seat and started to drive to Mikha's apartment.
The ride was quiet, only the light snoring of Mikha could be heard.
While driving, Aiah's mind was clouded with different thoughts.
After 20 minutes of driving, around 11 to 12, they finally arrived at Mikha's apartment.
She parked Mikha's car and went to her best friend to help her out of the car.
Nahihirapan siyang ilabas si Mikha sa backseat dahil tulog na tulog ito kaya ginising niya ito.
"Al, gising na, we're here." bulong ni Aiah habang marahang iniuga si Mikha.
Medyo naalimpungatan naman si Mikha pero halatang-halata ang kalasingan nito.
"Al, come on, let's go inside. Kahit lumakad ka lang ng konti! Hindi kita kayang buhatin."
"Bakit ka kasi iinom-inom, alam mo naman may pasok kinabukasan! Lagot ka talaga sa'kin bukas!"
