I'll Be Back

9

The routine of the two remained the same—wake up, eat breakfast, lunch and dinner avoiding each other, and sleep.

Today, they were going to their old school to discuss their alumni event with their other batch mates. Aiah was already in the car, acting as if she was busy on her phone. After a while, Mikha got in the car, buckled her seatbelt, and immediately started the engine. Only the radio could be heard inside the car.

After a 20-minute ride, they arrived at the school. Mikha froze as she started having flashbacks. She remembered every bittersweet moment of her and Aiah had at the school. Luckily, she managed to stop her tears from falling.

When they went to the meeting place, they immediately saw the girls waiting for them.

"Miks! Aiah! na-miss ko kayo!" Stacey excitedly said as she ran to the two and hugged them.

"Ang OA talaga. last week lang tayo nag kita ah." Mikha chuckled.

Stacey rolled her eyes sarcastically and they continued their walk towards the other girls. As they went inside the classroom, Mikha immediately saw Julia. Julia met Mikha's eyes, she stood up from her seat and hugged the latter tightly.

"Mikha! Oh, I missed you so much, baby." Julia said with a huge smile.

"Baby?!?! What the heck does she mean?!" Aiah thought, her eyebrows furrowed and she felt her blood boil.

"Juls! I missed you too, baby. How are you?" Mikha said.

Aiah's blood boiled even more as she saw Mikha smiling at Julia genuinely. "She hasn't smiled like that to me when I got here. Pero sakanya grabe?!" Aiah whispered to herself.

"I'm doing fine, baby, and you look fine too. Emotionally and physically, hmm." Julia said as she gently caressed Mikha's shoulder down to her hand.

"Take a seat beside me, baby." Julia said with a seductive tone and smirked as she pulled Mikha's hand.

Aiah felt like she really mad, but she didn't want to show it. She doesn't have the rights, right? During the meeting, Aiah couldn't focus since her mind was only on Julia and Mikha's suspicious interaction.

"Sila na ba? Pero if sila na, why would Mikha kiss me, right? Kainis talaga si Julia, ano ba yan." Aiah thought and rolled her eyes.

Aiah's blood boil even more when she hears Julia chuckling. Oh how she wish she can strangle her.

"Hoy anyare sayo?" Stacey gently slapped Aiah's arm.

"Huh? bakit?" Aiah turned to look at Stacey.

"Ang pula pula ng face mo girl. Ina-allergy kaba?"

"Hindi hindi. Uhm. Ano lang. I don't know."

"Hmm. Selos ka siguro kay Julia at Miks noh?" Stacey said and raised her left eyebrow.

"Bakit naman ako mag se-selos?"
Aiah turned her back on Stacey.

"Pass sa halata. Pero in fairness ang saya saya tignan ni Miks nung nakita nya si Julia."

"Eh ano naman"
