Lost Star | MekayaKaBa? Mikhaiah Au

"Alam mo bang dumating na si Mikha? Yung BFF ni Colet from US? At last girl, makikita mo na sya!!!" - Maloi

Akala ko this day will be one of my "normal" days. Maloi talking nonstop, Stacey complaining about Jhoanna and Sheena with her Bebe Gwen smooching and going all lovey dovey without minding us but no -- this day is different. I'll be meeting her. Mikha Lim.

Does she remember kaya kung anong nangyari?

Napahinto naman ako sa board to check my room assignment for my first class. Hmmm. Economics, Class A. Blg. B Rm 8. Buti nalang talaga at yung first class is same building lng ng council room. No need na to make a run for my class after I do my morning routines and checkups sa council.

Yes, I am the student council president. This will be my last term na din naman since we are all graduating students. Oh! How time flies so fast. I still remember our frosh years. First fieldtrip with the girls. Meeting their crushes and witness how they make lovey dovey every hang out time. Eeeh!

Then, there's Jeremy. Yes -- him. Flowers, chocolates, gifts. All those shout outs tuwing my basketball game sila na no need naman na. Those pa cute moments nya sa hallway. Taking me out to those fancy restos that sometimes are too much naman. All his fangirls cursing me that his attention is always on me lang. Well, time ready do fly.

But this time, it's different. I'll be meeting someone na always ko lng nakikita sa phone, ipads or laptop screen nila Colet. This time, I'll be meeting Mikha Lim, face to face. I can't find the exact word for what I am feeling right now. Do I look good? Mabango ba ko? Ok lng ba yung outfit ko? Bumagay ba make up ko today? Why am I nervous? Dahil ba makikita ko na si Mikha Lim or is it because I'll be facing Jeremy today and will deliver a big surprise to him. I dunno but I am really feeling weird today.

"Eath to Aiah?" I can hear the annoyance on Maloi's tone

"Sorry Loi, iniisip ko lng yung upcoming Welcome Parade event. Ano nga ulit yon?" yeah, isa pa tong event na to. Daming ganap ko lately ah.

"Sabi ko, nag text na si Colet na nasa parking na daw sila. Kasama si Mikha. Ready ka na bang ma meet THE Mikha Lim?" halatang excited naman ang isang to at nakuha pa talagang mag tatalon.

"Yeah, I heard nga. I'm curious nga rin to meet that girl."

Habang naglalakad sa hallway, I saw this familiar face. Naka sunod lng sya kila Colet, Jho and Gwen. She looks like a lost puppy. She's busy looking everywhere. Parang biglang nag slow mo yung mundo ko. Her looks is ---- alam mo ba yung ang ganda nya but ang pogi at the same time? Napapalingon lahat ng students na nadadaan nya. She's walking like she's on a runway. And did I mentioned that her skin is glowing habang tinatamaan ng sunlight? Then theres the legendary red hair. As she pull out her hands from her pockets, she ran her fingers through her hair and took my breath away. Until ----- is that basura?!!

"Hey! Ikaw na naka shades. Bawal burara sa campus na to!" I blurred out of annoyance. Ano ba tong Mikha Lim na to, hindi ba uso trash bin sa US?

We greeted Colet and her friends. Agad naman nag sorry si Colet for her friend's actions. Nagulat naman ako ng magsalita ito.

I can hear her introducing herself but I can't bring myself to face her. She's just too much for me. Ang lakas ng dating. Feeling ko masisilaw ako on how bright she's glowing. May pa smile smile kapang nalalaman dyan!

After the meet and greet ay sabay naman na kaming nag lakad papuntang board to check her room assignments daw.

I found myself stealing glances to the person beside me na parang walang pake sa mundo. She's just following me silently na parang walang plano mag salita. Wala man lang "hey" or kahit "hoy" lang dyan, Mikha Lim?! Kilala pa ba ako neto?
