Falling For Mikhaela Janna Jeminea Lim

Chapter 21: Crush?

MIKHA'S POV

"Sure ka ba? You don't want us to come?" Ate Colet asked me for the hundredth time now.

I looked at them boredly, all of them lying on my bed while I'm busy preparing my stuff for my flight later.

I didn’t pack too many clothes since marami naman akong damit sa bahay.

I need to do some errands in the States.

I need to talk to my parents about something, and my grandmother's birthday on my father's side is this week kaya I need to be there kahit I won't join the public party.

How ironic na mas close pa ako sa mga Lolo at Lola ko than my own parents kaya if it’s a special day like this for them, I need to be present.

"Ate Col, chill. My father's private plane is here to take me, I'm not gonna ride a public plane." I answered her.

She's overreacting again, masyado s'yang praning pag nalalayo ako sa kaniya.

"Manahimik ka na nga, Ate Colet. Kaya ‘yan ni Mikha. You're too paranoid, nanay ka teh, nanay ka?!" Jhoanna butted in.

I looked at them and saw Ate Colet glaring at Jhoanna while giving her the middle finger.

Gwen was just smiling from ear to ear with her eyes on her phone.

"Magluto ka mag-isa ng pagkain mo ha."

"Ito naman, joke lang. Kaya nga huwag na sumama kay Mikha dahil wala kaming taga-luto rito eh." Jhoanna replied as she jumped to Ate Colet's side and hugged her.

Gross.

"PISKIT JHO, AMOY SANTOL KA!"

Napailing na lang ako sa kanilang tatlo.

I want them to come with me, but our parents told us not to for safety precautions.

"Okay na ba kayo ni Aiah?" Ate Colet suddenly asked, getting my attention.

"Sus, okay na 'yan, mag -kasama na nga kahapon eh." Jhoanna answered for me.

"Kaya siguro umalis si Aiah kahapon para puntahan ka. Lakas mo kay Aiah, Mikha. Alam mo bang nagpumilit pa si Gelo na sumama sa kaniya pero hindi s'ya pumayag tas umalis kaagad." kwento ni Ate Colet.

"True,hindi sa pagiging assuming or ma-issue, pero feel ko crush ka ni Ate Aiah." Gwen agreed.

Napaisip ako sa sinabi nila, but I didn’t answer them.

I put my power bank in my bag, walked towards them, and lay down on my bed.

"We've only known each other for a month, stop assuming things." I mumbled and closed my eyes.

"Eh ano naman kung isang buwan pa lang? ako nga crush ko na agad si Maloi eh." Ate Colet chimed in, her voice teasing.

Jhoanna immediately jumped in.

"Syempre, halikan mo ba naman agad HAHAHAHHAHAHA."

"IKAW NGA KUNYARE INAAWAY MO SI STACEY PERO CRUSH MO."

Colet threw a pillow at Jhoanna, but I barely noticed.

Their words echoed in my mind, making me question my own feelings.

Bakit nga ba ganito?

Do I even know what I'm feeling?

Is it really possible that Aiah has a crush on me?
