For more than 10 years, this would be the best sleep I got so far. After kasi nung incident when I was 9, I always struggle to get a good night sleep. Every time I close my eyes, memories from that tragic incident kept on haunting me.

I opened my eyes and found myself sleeping on Aiah's lap.

"Ang ganda naman, kung di lng talaga masungit." smile escaped in my lips as I look up to this beautiful girl giving me comfort to sleep.

This would be the first time I can see her upclose and mapagmasdan siya ng hindi nasasaktan.

Lately, I'm feeling myself distracted by this beautiful lady. Naging normal na sakin na whenever Aiah's around, I need to hold my breath to control the beating of my heart. I tried to brush it off but everytime nakikita ko siya, I wanted to be near her or get her attention.

Because of this, the nightmares I am having lessen too. Not until last night after I drove Aiah home. We bid our goodbyes and again, my body failed me cause I ended giving Aiah a goodbye kiss. Cheeks lng naman.

Right after the kiss, memories from 'that' incident again flashed, this time I got a different memory and I tried to remember it but my brain just can't take the stress and eventually I shut down.

I woke up and Mom was screaming, my face on the floor, nag collapse na naman pala ako. Buti nalang Mom visited me last night sa condo.

"Promise me Janna, babalik ka ha"

"Oo naman, I'll be back. And....I'll marry you. My bestfriend."

My old self was smiling while holding the faceless girl's hand. We even hugged each other while watching the sunset.

This is what I can only remeber before my mind gave up and I lost consciousness.

I draw back my attention to Aiah, to my surprise she's awake na!

Lagot! I am still holding her hand pa naman.

Instead of getting beat up..again --- Aiah gave me the softest smile ever seen in the world. Para akong naka harap kay Mama Mary.

Umayos naman ako ng upo and smiled back.

"Thanks....for letting me sleep" I said.

"Basta ikaw" saktong nag tama naman yung mata namin so I panicked and withdrew my eyes first.

"San nyo pala gusto mag breakfast? Drive thru na lang ba or dun na sa hotel?" I changed the topic na. I can't take na kasi yung mga titig ni Aiah sakin...nakakatunaw.

"Do you have meds to take ba? How's your head?" Aiah said while fixing her hair.

What's with her? Bat ang bait niya ngayon? No angry Aiah ata for today?

"I'm good na. Thanks to you, I was able to get some rest"

"Talaga! Thanks to ate Aiah, ang himbing ng tulog ni Boss Mikhs!" nagulat kami sa biglaang pag sulpot ni Sheena.

Di ko namalayan naka land na pala.

"Tara na lovebirds, gutom na kami. Mamaya na landian" now Jhoanna is teasing us.

"Ay let them be muna. Baka need pa ni Mikha laplap---I mean yung lap ni Aiah!" Stacey was laughing

"Hoy bungaga mo talaga Stacku! Naku beh tayo na dyan. Marami pa naman kayong time mag moment ni Mikha" Maloi chuckled as she walk pass by us na.

"Masakit diay ulo hap! Style mo talaga Lim" Colet was playfully smacking me this time.

Di talaga kami makatakas with their teasing.

Gumayak na din kami ni Aiah then we moved to the parking na. Timing naman the van is already waiting for us.

"Hayaan mo na sila, inggit lng yan" I smiled before going inside the car as Aiah whispered.

"Uy uy uy! Ano yang bulungan na yan!" I swear Sheena is really LOUD.

I didn't answer na lng at made my self comfy na.

We settled down na lang muna pag dating namin sa hotel.

We got 5 rooms. 3 rooms for the couples, Colet and Maloi, Sheena and Gwen, Stacey and Jhoanna. Me and Aiah got our own rooms.

"Are you okay of being alone sa room mo, Aiah?" Gwen asked.

"Ay oo beh, gusto mo palit nalang kayo ni Colet?" Maloi added.

"Dun ka nalang sa room namin ni Bebe, ate Aiah." Sheena started to drag Aiah's suitcase na.

Aiah stopped them "No guys, I'm fine naman. You should be enjoying this trip with your partners." she smiled giving the girls assurance.

"Peroooo, parang too much naman to have your room. Share nalang kaya kayo ni Mikhs?" ngiti ngiting sabi ni Stacey

"I'm good with sharing my room. Depende kay Aiah" I said at nauna na rin sa kanila. My head hurts na naman kasi.

"Ahh.. ehhhhh... O-okay lng ba talaga?" Aiah chuckled nervously.

"Di ka naman siguro nag tatransform pag gabi?" I jokingly laughed and took Aiah's suitcase na din. I can hear the girls laughing naman especially Stacey.

Aiah and I arrived na sa room namin. I ordered room service nalang for breakfast parang di ko kasi kaya bumaba.

"I'll just rest a bit, Aiah." I said while pahiga sa couch. "Sumakit ulit ulo ko eh, baka di na muna ako bababa. Paki sabihan nalang si Colet please" I tried to massage my temple na din.

"Are you sure ba? Do you want me here nalang? Para may kasama ka?" worried naman na tanong ni Aiah.

"No, don't be silly. You can enjoy naman with them. I'm good na" giving her assurance.

I just heard the door opened and closed. Lumabas na siguro si Aiah.

I closed my eyes and mas diniinan pa yung pag mamasahe sa ulo ko. Iba yung sakit niya compared sa mga previous episodes ko.

I decided to transfer na din sa bed. With my eyes still closed, dahan dahan naman akong tumayo. I felt dizzy and my ears were ringing then ---- another memory flashed.

"Good night, Aiah. See you tom"

"Good night, Janna. Thank you for the gift. I'll tell mommy next kami naman yung vivisit sa inyo"

"Talaga ba? Sure! I will tell my Yaya Pacing to cook all my favorite food para matikman mo din!"

"Eh that's your favorite eh, not mine."

"But you're my favorite person, Aiah. You're my first love"

I opened my eyes and bumungad naman sakin si Aiah with worry on her eyes. I was about to touch her kasi baka memories pa rin to. I must be out of my mind dahil nag mix na yung memories ko sa present times but before I can hold her, nag blackout naman ulit ako.

What's with the flashbacks of my memory? Why is Aiah there? Is my mind getting confused na at nag cross over pa talaga siya sa memories ko from the past?

"Mi-mikha!" I heard Aiah shouting bago ako bumagsak.
