Eyes on me (BINI_MIKHAIAH AU)

Chapter 13: Torpe

-GAME DAY-

*STUPID*STUPID*STUPID*

I'm irritated by my words and actions pero babawi ako sa'yo. Right now, I have to focus on my game.

The stadium is deafening. All I could hear are cheers from the audience; it feels so great, I feel motivated.

While I'm looking at the crowd, an unexpected figure caught my sight.

It's youuuuu, Aiah. <3

"Are you a volleyball fan? Are you going to watch me play? Ha ha ha in your dreams, Mikha! But I'm glad you're here. May inspiration ako habang naglalaro." I thought.

"You're with your friends rin and... a guy? Or baka nakatabi mo lang siya? :')
Di ako nagseselos, sus. Konti lang."

Sa pagkakalutang ko, nakatitig na pala ako ng matagal sa'yo. Then our eyes meet at tila huminto ang oras. I smiled at you pero iniwas mo yung tingin mo.

"I like you; I like you a lot. Hindi mo ba pansin?"

The game started.

Diyan ka lang ha? Wala na akong ibang hihilingin pa~"

Sobrang higpit ng laban until the last set but we're already leading and I'll be serving.

Commentator: "Match point for the Vixens. #8 Mikha Lim. Serving."

"This one is for you, Aiah."

Commentator: "Mikha Lim with a fantastic serve, -------- AND IT'S AN ACE!! MIKHA LIM FOR THE WIN!"


"My lucky charm."

The whole stadium is in uproar. The game ended on a sweet note with us winning the match.
I quickly looked for you in the crowd but you were already running to the exit with the same guy seated next to you earlier.

"Are they close? Seems like it...."

~Saturday Morning~

Mikha's mom: "Mikha anak, can you do me a favor?

Mikha: "Sure, what is it, Mom?"

Mikha's mom: "Pwede mo bang pakihatid ito kay Ate Stacey mo? Parang ang lakas kasi ng ulan." holding an umbrella as she was looking outside the window.

Mikha: "Ah, sige po."

Mikha's mom: "Thank you, anak. Alam mo naman sakitin ang ate mo, onting ulan lang magkakasakit na. Mag iingat ka ha."

Mikha: "I will."

I took the umbrella and wore my hoodie just in case it rains.

Calling *Rockstar Stacey*

*sigh* she changed her name again.

"When are you going to stop changing your name sa phone ko?"

Stacey: "Say I love you munaaaaa?"

"Nevermind. Where are you? You left your umbrella. I'm going to bring it to you."

Stacey: "Ay, oo nga! Thank you siiis! I'm in the park near Orchard hotel. Just leave it with Aics if you don't see me kasi we'll start the shoot soon. Byeee!"

I'm on my way to the park and I'm waiting for my ride on the shed. I peeked at the clouds and it seems it's going to be really bad soon.

"It's about to rain na..." I mumbled.

Umaambon na and people started to run towards the shed to take shelter. I notice an old lady at the crossway panicking.

"Hala, kawawa naman si lola mababasa siya sa ulan and pati mga paninda niyang babana cue."

Without hesitation, I quickly went to lola but I stopped before I could reach her.

"Aiah...?" I uttered in surprise.

You helped lola with her things and even offered your umbrella.

When I see both of you were coming to my direction, I immediately went back and hid myself behind the people in the shed.

While I observe your good deed, I realize I admire you more because of your compassion and empathy towards others. The world could use more people like you.

"You are really perfect, Mariah Queen Arceta."

You ran off leaving your umbrella kay lola without thinking na mababasa ka ng ulan.

"This is my chance na makabawi."

I followed you and stood behind you then it started to pour hard. I opened Stacey's umbrella at pinayungan kita. This umbrella is the only thing I can offer to you for now.

Aiah: "Oh, thank you so much!"

We shared the umbrella while crossing the street. Ang lapit mo na sa'kin. I could see your long brown hair. Tinatangay ito ng malakas na hangin papunta sa mukha ko. I could smell your shampoo. I could hear your footsteps and naririnig ko rin paghinga mo.

Alam mo yung feeling sa k-drama? Yung may nakakakilig na background music tapos may moment yung magka-loveteam? Ibang saya ang nararamdam ko.

"Gusto  talaga kita kausapin, pero paano?" were the only words I can think about that time.

This is the perfect time para magpakilala sa'yo diba?

Aiah: "Thank you so much! If it wasn't for you basang sisiw na ako sa ulan."

Mikha: "You are welcome, you should take care of yourself first."

And I left... hanggang ganyan lang nasabi ko.
Torpe parin ako pagdating sa'yo, Aiah. Torpe na admirer mo T.T
