PART 40

THIRD PERSON'S POV

The 5 girls on the other hand na papunta na sa bahay ni mikha pero nakita nila si aiah na nagmamadali na lumabas na kinagulat nila. So nag assume na sila na may nangyari sa loob bago pa sila mag tanong nagsalita bigla si aiah.

"Alam niyo to lahat noh?" Aiah asked, not looking sa mga kaibigan niya.

"What?" Jhoanna said.

"You and the girls know about mikha right?" Aiah said.

nagulat naman silang lahat sa tanong ni aiah kaya hindi sila nakasagot lahat.

"I knew it" Aiah said and dryly chuckle.

"Im sorry aiah" Sheena said but inignore lang sila ni aiah at tuloy na sa pag lalakad.

——

"Kamusta na siya?" Tanong ni colet nung makita niya si stacey na pababa na sa hagdan.

"She fell asleep, Siguro napagod din siya kakaiyak" stacey said at umupo na sa sofa with girls.

"Ano na mangyayari ngayon? I bet na galit din si aiah sa atin" Maloi said.

"I dont know maloi, My concern for now is mikha, she's the one who experiencing so much pain sa mga nangyayare ngayon" stacey said.

"I understand why aiah acted that way, oo may past siya pero i think she went too far" gwen said.

"Yeah, She really did and ngayon si mikha naman ang nag susuffer ngayon" Colet said.

"I hope na everything will be back to normal na. The eight of us were supposed to be living in a same house 5 years from now, but now baka 7 nalang tayo" Sheena said.

"Everything will be okay, kailangan lang natin ng matinding pahinga" Stacey said.

"Ee paano ka naman?" Jhoanna said.

"I'll be watching mikha for the mean time. At besides she's my cousin naman and alam naman na nila mom na ill be staying here" Stacey said.

"Okay then, Mauna na kami ingatan mo si mikha ah alagaan mo ng mabuti okay?" Gwen said.

"I will" Stacey said.

Nahiga naman sa sofa si stacey nung nakaalis na ang mga kaibigan nila. It's been a though day, para sa kanilang walo. Pinikit naman niya ang mga mata niya and silently praying na maging okay na silang lahat hindi na alam ni stacey na nakatulog na siya.

——

Madilim na nung magising si mikha. Nakaramdam naman si mikha ng headache and inisip niya kung bakit sumasakit ang ulo niya. When she suddenly remember what happened earlier, lahat ng sakit kanina ay biglang bumalik.

Kinuha niya ang phone niya at tinitigan niya ang wallpaper. It was a picture of her and aiah taken by her mom during Christmas eve. Natawa naman siya remembering how they end up looking like that in a photo. Inaasar kasi ni mikha si aiah na planting a kiss into her cheeks but aiah cut her and was surprised on what she's doing.

Lahat ng sweet memories na nangyari kay mikha with aiah came back, And knowing the fact na hanggang don nalang lahat ng yon hanggang memories nalang that send so much pain into mikha's heart once again.

Ayaw naman niyang makulong sa kwarto niya, kaya nag decide si mikha na maglakad in the middle of the night. She went down stairs and may nakita siyang familiar na figure na natutulog sa sofa. It was Stacey her sweet cousin. kumuha naman si mikha ng blanket and kinumutan na si stacey. She caressed stacey's cheeks and a weak smile form in mikha's lips.

"Thank you" Bulong ni mikha. Thankful kasi si mikha na kahit ano mangyari hindi siya iniwan ni stacey. Nagstay siya kasi baka may gawin nanaman si mikha ng anything stupid.
So nag decide si mikha na ibili siya ng favorite food niya para naman makabawi sa kanya.

Mikha's feet brought her towards the park, kung saan meron din silang memories. She's hoping na makita niya si aiah doon. Hindi parin siya sumusuko na mag sorry kay aiah.

Nakita naman talaga ni mikha si aiah sa park. Naka upo sa swing kung saan sila laging pumupunta. She was about to hurry her way papunta kay aiah pero may nakita siyang may kasama si aiah, yung takbo niya ay biglang napahinto.

Aiah was crying her heart out at gelo's arms. Wala naman magawa si mikha kasi alam niya sa sarili niya na siya ang dahilan kung bakit nag kakaganon si aiah. She stayed in the dark, nakatago habang nakikinig sa bawat iyak ni aiah and to those sweet comforting words coming from her lover. Nanatili lang siya doon for a while pero nung hindi na niya kinakaya yung sakit, That's when mikha decided to leave.

——

"Saan ka nang-galing?" Stacey asked nung marinig niya na bumukas ang front door. Umupo naman agad siya and she rubbed her eyes, yung ingat ng pinto ang nakapag pagising sa kanya.

"I decided to take a walk lang stacks"

"In the middle of the night miks?"

"Yup. at bumili ako ng foods for you. I guess hindi ka pa kumain ng dinner. Also meron din diyan na ice cream" Mikha said and gave the bag to stacey. Nagulat naman si stacey and natuwa sa laman ng nasa bag kasi sobrang dami, But it didn't last long, napunta yung attention niya kay mikha at tinignan niya ito.

"Are you okay lang miks?" Stacey asked in a worried tone.

"Kapag sinabi ko na oo, parang nag sisinungaling lang ako sayo" Mikha said and smile weakly. Tumabi naman agad si mikha kay stacey and rested her head on stacey's shoulder.

"Stackuuu!"

"Hmm? what is it?"

"Thank you!"

"Silly, No worries mikhaela Im always here for you lang i promise"

"Dont leave me okay?"

"I wont!"
