Have You Ever

Chapter 22 - Hearts Racing

Mikha's POV

"I'll be at the beach lang guys tambay lang it's suffocating here"!! I can't understand what I'm feeling right now, seeing Aiah with those guys, after she kissed one of them at tangina nag flying kiss pa!! I need to let this out.

"Ok Mikhs dito lang kami, sasayaw lang kami ganda na ng music eh.

I brought 2 bottles of beer with me at umupo narin sa may dagat. I love listening to the waves kissing the shore. I love the silence away from the crowd.

Malalim na ang gabi, I felt so cold inside bigla ko nalang naalala at sana kasama ko parin siya. I hope you're happy kung nasaan kaman ngayon, and you will be able to forgive me my love.

Biglang may narining akong umiiyak. Kinilabutan ako bigla parang sa mga scary movies at mag isa pa naman ako.

"Putek Mikha ikaw lang mag isa dito pero may umiiyak na babae. Tumakbo kana!! (Kausap na naman sarili ko). Lumingon ako walang tao, then I looked at the other side with that familiar face, I saw Aiah. She was crying her heart out naka tingala sa langit. Watching her from a distance, made me feel the pain in her heart. Bigla akong nanlambot, ang ganda niya parin kahit umiiyak siya.

Dinala ako ng mga paa ko papalapit sa kanya.
"Hey are you alright? She looked at me and she was a bit confused.
"Wala ako sa mood makipag usap, can you please leave me alone? Sinungitan ba naman ako. Inabot ko sa kanya ang 1 bote ng beer.
"Here I think you need this more than I do. She accepted it at dali daling ininom ang beer.
"Take it slow, you have lots of time to enjoy it. Wag mo namang biglain".

"Have you ever loved someone so badly that when it did not work out you've lost yourself? You've lost your entire being and your sanity? I was taken aback with what she said.

"Yes, up until now I can't even forgive myself for being a coward, for hiding, for being selfish. Hindi ako pwedeng maging masaya, deserve kong pagdusahan lahat"!!

Aiah looked at me and caressed my face, "Everyone deserves to be happy"
Tumayo siya at nagulat ako sa ginawa niya. She ran towards the water and shouted "I deserve to be happy and I choose to be happy"!! Lumingon siya sakin at ngumiti, ayan na naman yung eye smile niya.

I ran towards her, tumakbo rin siya at bigla nalang kaming nag hahabulan sa may dalampasigan. I never felt so carefree for the past year. I feel so happy and comfortable being with this stranger.

Napagod kami at umupo na sa buhangin. Aiah laughed so hard, na para bang ngayon lang ulit sya tumawa sa buong buhay niya.

We looked at each other and she said "I'll make you happy tonight!! We're few inches away I can feel her breath in my face. Sana hindi niya marinig ang tibok ng puso ko.

"Such a pretty face, that brows too. Aiah's touching my face, her hand traveling to my brows, into my eyes seems like she's familiarizing my face. Then she suddenly kissed my lips gently, sending this sweet sensation into my being.

I looked at her, "That person is a jerk for hurting you" I cupped her face and pulled her closer to me, I kissed her cheek and lips.
She parted her lips and I bit her upper lip gently. My heart is racing with this encounter. Ano ba tong nararamdaman ko sayo Aiah?
