Falling For Mikhaela Janna Jeminea Lim

Chapter 9: Acceptance

MIKHA'S POV

Fourth day of school. This time, I didn't go to school early dahil alam kong maaga rin pumasok sila Mama Mary.

Damn, I need a break from them.

Hindi ko na na-eenjoy ang solitude ko dahil whenever I try to enjoy it, may isa sa kanilang susulpot.

Buti naman kung tahimik sila, but they love to annoy the hell out of me.

Nakabihis na ako nong bumaba ako at naabutan kong kumakain silang tatlo.

"Oh Miks, andyan ka pa pala?" Jhoanna said while munching a spoonful of food.

Kadiri talaga 'to.

"Baka imagination mo lang." I sarcastically said.

She just gave me a middle finger and started eating again.

"Bilisan n'yo na! Piskit, may dadaanan pa ako."

Ate Colet said irritatedly, para s'yang nagmamadali.

"What's with the rush?" I asked curiously, but she just gave me a glare.

Luh? Ginawa ko sa kaniya?

"Bahala kayo! Mauuna na ako, magkaniya-kaniyang sasakyan muna tayo!" She shouted habang patakbong lumabas ng bahay.

"Hoy Ate Col—ugk!" Jhoanna shouted, dahilan para mabilaukan s'ya.

Napatayo naman agad si Gwen sa tabi nito at diring-direng tinitignan si Jhoanna.

"Kadiri ka naman Robles! Para kang parating aagawan." iritang sabi nito as she got her bag and exited the house.

Napailing na lang ako.

I didn't bother to help Jhoanna who's choking to death para madala s'ya.

As I walked to the kitchen to grab a quick bite, I heard Jhoanna's coughing subside.

I picked up an apple and started munching it habang iniisip kung anong kasalanan ko kay Ate Colet.

Ah baka ‘yong kay Marie.

Pag kaubos ko nong kinakain ko napatingin ako kay Jhoanna, who had recovered, looking red-faced at halatang iritang irita.

"Tangina, hindi man lang ako tinulungan!" sigaw n'ya sa'kin at binato ako ng orange.

Buti na lang nakailag ako habang naghahabol s'ya ng hininga.

Sinamaan ko s'ya ng tingin pero hindi na ako gumanti dahil alam kong hindi rin s'ya magpapatalo.

"My bad, akala ko nagpapatawa ka lang eh." I sarcastically said.

Bigla naman s'yang tumayo kaya I readied myself dahil alam kong mamimisikal s'ya.

But I got startled nong tumakbo s'ya sa pintuan palabas ng bahay.

She stopped there while catching her breath.

"Ikaw magligpit d'yan!" she shouted before running away.

I looked at the door dumbfounded before I realized what the hell she just said.

Napatingin ako sa kalat sa lamesa at mga hugasin and checked my watch.

It's already 7:45!

At pupunta pa ako sa bus stop at 8 a.m. ang second at last trip non.

Hindi ko pwedeng iwanan yong hugasin dahil magagalit si Ate Colet.

She’d kill me if she came home to a mess.
