Mixed Signals (MikhaLoi)

Confession

(This is your author, suggesting to play Lifetime by Ben&Ben while reading this chapter. Kindly repeat the song until you finish this chapter. Please do it, thank you!)

Jhoanna's POV:

2 weeks has passed and I've been spending it with Colet and it was totally worth it! Super thankful ko sakaniya dahil inintindi niya ang family ko, especially ako. I feel lifetime when I'm with Colet. Before, kay Lucky ko naramdaman 'yun kasi siya lang ang babaeng nagparamdam sa akin na hindi mo kailangan ng ka-relasyon o kung ano man 'yan basta nandyan si Lucky.. si ate Maloi.

I called Lucky earlier since gusto ko siya ang unang makakaalam sa balita ko. Of course kailangan yung one call away ko ang unang makakaalam 'no?

She told me na magkikita kami mamayang gabi, good timing! Kinabukasan, sasabihin ko na rin sa girls. Napakasaya ko ngayon.

Maloi's POV:

Nakakapanghina ang 2 weeks na iyon. Wala akong ibang ginawa kundi ayusin ang papers at mga gamit ko. Kailangan maayos ko na 'yun dahil sa susunod na dalawang linggo ay aalis na ako. Tinulungan naman ako ni Stacku mag-ayos ng mga gamit ko, humahagulgol pa siya habang tinutulungan ako.

Stacey also has my soft spot talaga. Siya ang tinuturi kong kapatid na hiniling ko na sana mas maaga ko siyang nakilala.

While I fix my things, biglang tumawag sa akin si Jho. Stacey was just looking at me, waiting if I would answer the call or not. I was also thinking about of answering the call or not.

"Answer it na. Baka importante ang sasabihin ni Jho." Stacey told me.

I answered the call and pagkasagot na pagkasagot ko ay excitement ni Jho ang bumungad sa'kin. Nanalo ba siya sa lotto? Sabi niya, may sasabihin daw siya sa akin.. pero gusto niya in person ito pag-usapan. Kinakabahan ako habang sinasabi niya 'yun sa akin.

"Ano sabi?" Stacey asked me.

"Hindi ko alam. Ang sabi niya may sasabihin siya sa akin then sa personal daw namin pag-usapan. Sabi ko magkita kami mamayang gabi, sasabihin ko na rin yung pag-alis ko.. at Stacku, aamin na rin ako." Sagot ko kay Stacey.

Tumahimik si Stacku bigla. Napatingin na lang siya sa akin pagkatapos ko sabihin na aamin ako kay Jho. Hindi ko masabi kung masama ba yung tingin niya o ano.

"That's good, babe. But make sure that you'll only do it to make her aware at para gumaan ang loob mo, hindi para umasa na may pag-asa ka pa. She have her Colet, Lucky. I'm worried about you.. at least please do what's the best thing to do. So that wala ka nang pagsisihan, okay? I love you, Lucky." She smiled after she said this.

I understand her point, but I don't know why I'm still hoping that I have a chance on Jho. Although I feel like wala na rin talaga, hindi sa sumusuko ako.. but a respect for the two. It's bugging me every time na I'm crying because of them, that's just so unhelpful for me.

Paano kapag meron pa talaga akong pag-asa? If I confessed during the old days, would it be far more different than now?

Aiah's POV:

It's been 2 weeks before Mikha finally came home so we could spend time with each other. It has been more great with Mikha. Hulog na hulog ako sakaniya. Maybe, this is the right time to tell her what I've been feeling and how I want to work things between us. Months are enough, hopefully.

I texted Mikha to invite her for a dinner tonight. It's going to happen in the same location where we first had our date, where we shared stories, and gave each other's laughs. This night will be romantic, for sure she likes me. Months have passed and we never talked about this. It's been casual with her since our topic never came this far. A topic about liking each other..
