Behind the Scenes

Chapter 10

I missed you too. Hindi ko naisa-boses yung gusto kong isagot sa kanya. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero parang may bara sa lalamunan ko.

"Mikha Lim, magkasama lang tayo kanina, miss mo naman ako agad?"

I turned and now facing the ceiling, sya naman nakatagilid parin paharap sakin. Yung kamay nya di nya talaga tinanggal sa bewang ko.

"Eh, lagi naman kayo ni Colet ang magka usap"

"Hala ka? Ikaw 'tong lagi busy sa cellphone at laging seryoso sa games. Mas madalas mo pa ata kausap blooms kesa sa amin." seryoso yung boses ko pero alam naman nyang biro lang yung blooms part.

"Well, tinatanong nga ng blooms kung kailan daw ulit tayo magkaka-tiktok together."

"Pag ako naman nag post, hinahanap ka nila sakin."

"Sobrang mahal nila yung Mikaiah. Sorry kung minsan naiilang ka na ata? I mean, feeling ko kasi lahat ng gagawin ko on cam, bibigyan nila ng meaning? Did I make you uncomfortable ba in any way, ate Aiah?"

Nagulat naman ako dahil ngayon lang sya nag open about our ship ng ganito kaseryoso. Dati kasi mas gusto namin na mapansin lahat ng ship sa bini, so go with the flow lang kami kahit improvise on the spot pa yan.

"No, M, you didn't do anything that made me feel uncomfortable, you're so attentive lang talaga when it comes to all of us girls in bini. You have to know that I'm so lucky to be paired by you. What I mean is the ship name Mikaiah."

Hirap talaga pag 3am talks with the one you like, mapapa-amin ka na gusto mo sya. Muntik na ko kanina.

"Thank you for understanding me, A. You know I'm not good with words, right? I hope you've got the message."

Sa sobrang gusto ko iparamdam na comfortable ako sa kanya, 'di ko namalayan I'm carressing her hand na pala na nakadantay sa bewang ko.

Touching her like this, it feels home. My heart is so full that I want to hug her to sleep.

I felt her snuggled close to me. She's acting like a baby and I'm so happy because I've got to experience this cute side of her.

Alam kong nakatulog na sya nung maramdaman ko na steady na yung paghinga nya. Now, my problem is how can I sleep with Mikha being this close to me?

My mind started to overthink again.

I know she's not good with words, but this is confusing to me and to my fragile heart, maybe there are things that we both need na marinig at maramdaman for us to know what to expect and how to react.

I sighed deeply.

"But I want to hear it from you, Mikha Lim."
