UNDERCOVER | MikhAiah AU [COMPLETE]

UNDERCOVER PART 17

MIKHA'S POV


"Ano bang nangyayari sayo?!!!" Pasigaw na tanong ni West habang sumusunod sakin.

I hadn't realized that Gwen had caught up with me while I was walking. She grabbed my arm and turned me to face them.


"Gago ka ba?! 'Di ko alam kung nasa tamang pag-iisip ka eh" 

Gwen spoke through gritted teeth. I saw her clenching her fist, clearly making an effort to keep herself from hitting me.


"Mikhs, we don't know what's going on with you. Bakit ganun ka naman kay Aiah?" West frustratingly asked.


"Tangina rin yan eh. Niligawan ng lagpas isang buwan with all her efforts and consistencies tapos sasabihang lang na, 'i don't want to have you as my girlfriend anymore'. Ang galing mo Mikha Lim! Masyado kang paasa!" Gwen exclaimed while glaring at me.


 "Sa lahat ng taong pwede mong gaguhin, sa kaibigan pa talaga ng girlfriend ko na naging ka close ko na rin" she added, shaking her in head in frustration

I couldn't say a word. Tears started streaming down my face as I struggled to control my emotions.


I'm hurt too. I feel the pain just as deeply as I can, though it seems words can't quite capture how much.

"Gwen, enough. Just go back," West said firmly.

"How can I do that when my best friend did that in front of everyone?" Gwen retorted sarcastically before turning her back on us.

As soon as Gwen walked away, West came over and gently patted my back to comfort me.


"Cry it out, Mikhs. I'm here for you. I'm all ears," she said softly, rubbing my back.


"I'm sorry ate. I'm sorry, I've ruined our supposed fun night. I'm sorry I hurt Aiah" I sobbed, unable to stop the tears.


"I don't want to hurt Aiah. I love her so much. I've fallen for her, and God knows how much I want to be with her. I just—I don't know how to fix this." I uttered, still looking down.


"Pero sinaktan mo na siya Mikhs. Ano ba kasi nangyayari?" West curiously asked


I don't know how to explain it to her. I can't share my mission with anyone, but I need to let out my emotions. It feels so heavy, like a weight I can't shake off, and I can't even begin to describe how overwhelmed I am right now.


I wish I could put my feelings into words, but they're tangled and messy, and I'm afraid I might just drown in them.

"I've been feeling so bothered since earlier, Ate. I saw Aiah's dad through her phone, and... he's part of my mission—no I mean, not just part of it, but the whole mission. There's so much more I need to uncover. I don't want to put Aiah in danger. I just can't—I love her too much," I slowly uttered, tears starting to flow again.

Ate West looked shocked by what I had revealed.


"Wh-what do you mean?" she asked slowly, struggling to grasp what I had just said.

"Her dad's our target, Ate. I don't know the full details, but I can't get close to Aiah anymore," I explained, tears still streaming down my face.

"So you didn't know it was Aiah's dad?" she asked, clearly struggling to understand.

I nodded and replied, "No, I was only given initial details. I really had no idea." I honestly said, my sobs growing more intense.


Kaya pala familiar si Aiah when I first saw her since siya pala yung nakita ko dun sa Cebu with her grandparents. 


Kaya rin pala familiar yung mukha nung dad niya, nakita ko pala yun sa facebook account ng mom niya.

"Only if I had known, I wouldn't have started courting her. 'Di ko sana siya pinaasa at hindi sana ako nasasaktan nang ganito"  I told Ate West


"I'm sorry, Mikhs, but I really don't know what to say. I'm not sure what advice I can give to make you feel better, but I want you to know that I'm always here for you. Whatever happens, you'll have me. Okay?" she said, offering reassurance.

I just nodded and tried my best to smile at her.


"Stay here ha. I'll just go back para magpaalam. I'll also ask the resort owners kung saan ba may marerentahan na sasakyan" she said softly

COLE WEST POV

Dahan-dahan akong tumayo at naglakad pabalik.


Hindi pa rin nagsi-sink-in sa akin ang nangyari. 

Aiah's hurting, and so is Mikha 


"Tadhana nga naman." I murmured.

After a few minutes, nakabalik na ako and I saw them sitting quietly by the bonfire.

Aiah was still sobbing, her face showing clear signs that she had just been crying. 

Jho saw me, and her expression turned serious. She stared at me as if ako yung may kasalanan.


"Nasaan na yung magaling mong bestfriend?" She asked, crossing her arms


"I'd like to just say sorry on behalf of Mikhs. Babalik na kami so I'll just ask the resort owners kung may alam ba silang pwedeng pagrentahan ng sasakyan"  I explained and let out a heavy sigh


"Ba't ikaw yung magso-sorry? Wala bang mukha yung kaibigan mo?" she asked rolling her eyes

"Eh kasi naman... sakin ka kasi nagagalit kaya nagsosorry ako" I explained, looking down since Jho is still staring at me


Nakakaawkward kaya titigan tapos crush mo pa yung titig sayo.


"Sabihan mo 'yang kaibigan mo na 'wag na 'wag na siya magpapakita samin, lalong lalo na kay Aiah" Jho uttered sabay lakad papalayo.



Tumango na lang ako. Lalakad na sana ako papalayo but I felt that someone suddenly pulled my arm. 


Pagharap ko, it was Aiah.

Her eyes were red and swollen. She was deeply hurt, and I could see it in her.


"West? Where's Mikhs? Meron lang siyang problema 'di ba? She still likes me naman, right? Tell her na it's okay, I can wait. P-please? Please?"  She pleaded, her voice trembling as she was about to start crying again.


"Tangina! Ate Aiah ano ba?! Harap harapan ka nang sinabihan at ginago 'nung tao 'di ba?" Stacey exclaimed


"Huwag ka naman magpakatanga para lang sa taong yun! Buti nga masyado pang maaga nangyari 'to, what more pa kaya kung kayo na?"  Stacey added


"No, you don't understand. Mikhs love me, okay? Alam ko 'yon...I can feel it from her" Aiah argued, and tears began streaming down her face once more.


"Eh ano yung tawag mo sa ginawa niya sayo? Do you call it love? Please lang Ate Aiah, 'wag mo naman saktan yung sarili mo" Jho pleaded softly while caressing Aiah's back


I saw Loi's crying too. Nakaupo lang siya sa may tapat ng bonfire but it's too obvious na umiiyak siya because of what happened.

I feel so sorry for the mess Mikhs has created, but I also feel sorry for her. She's hurting too.
