Lost Star | MekayaKaBa? Mikhaiah Au

- Take my empty heart -

-Mikha-

I woke up early since hindi na naka reply si Aiah sa akin kagabi. I called her last night and sumagot yung kasama niya sa council daw na Kelly ata. She said nalasing daw si Aiah and they will drop her off safely sa condo niya.

I tried to message her pero wla ring reply. Maybe she doze off knowing na low lang yung tolerance nun pag dating sa alcohol.

I am so excited since today will be the day I'll ask her to marry me. Dumaan naman na muna ako sa flower shop and got her a bouquet of sunflower.

I was parking my car when I spotted a familiar figure sa lobby na nag mamadaling umalis.

"Is that, Aiah?"

I tried to ran after her but bigla naman siyang nawala. Baka guni guni ko lang. Sumakay na ako ng elevator nang ma remember ko yung bouquet. Naiwan ko tuloy dahil kakahabol ko dun sa girl.

Andito na ako sa floor ni Aiah but I decided to go back sa parking area. Hindi pwedeng walang flowers yung Queen ko pagka gising niya.

I was happily tapping my toes while riding the elevator. I reached Aiah's unit and keyed in the password.

I was smiling while inaamoy ang flowers na dala ko when I saw Aiah.....with Jeremy.

He's only wearing a boxer shorts and he's facing Aiah right now.

I cannot wrap my head to what's happening right now. Binabangugot ba ako? Can someone please wake me up!?

Hindi nila ako na pansin so I gathered my strength to speak.

"L-love?" I looked at Aiah with questioning eyes. I tried to read her reaction but what I am seeing right now is guilt. Am I seeing this correctly?

I scanned her unit and saw the guest room is open. I can see from where I am standing how messy the sheets are. I looked at Jeremy and saw that he's holding a phone with a video playing.

I dropped the flowers and parang may sariling isip ang aking mga paa when I walked towards him and grabbed the phone. I played the video and it crushed my heart.

It's Jeremy with Aiah ---- kahit madilim, I know it's her because of her dress na suot kagabi. I was too stunned to speak. My eyes were glued to the phone and Aiah tried to stop me from watching but I shrugged her.

"W-what is this? A-anong sabihin nito?" I exchange looks at Aiah and Jeremy.

Jeremy was smirking and Aiah cannot even face me. Naka tingin lang siya sa sahig while crying.

"Ano pa ba sa tingin mo ha?" Jeremy talked and that made Aiah face me.

"Jeremy....don't." Aiah said softly with fears in her eyes.

I was dumbfounded sa kinikilos ni Aiah. What the fuck is happening?

"Aiah? Love? Can you please tell me what's happening?" I tried to remain calm. I know I am hurting but seeing the fear in Aiah's eyes kanina, I know that something is wrong. I need to think before reacting. I need to hear her side.

"Hey....love. Can you please explain to me ano yung video? Please?" I took a step closer to Aiah attempting to hold her but to my surprise, she stepped back.

"N-no...Mikhs. D-don't come closer. Masasaktan ka lang." Her voice trembles as she tries avoiding my eyes.

"I'll listen, love. Pl----" I took a one step closer to Aiah but before I can even touch her, Jeremy grabbed her waist. Di man lang gumalaw si Aiah.

"Aiah and I...we're getting married." Jeremy announced as he hold Aiah's hand.

I know I am trying to calm down but kapag naririnig ko yung boses nitong Jeremy para may kung anong ibang spirit yung sumasapi sa akin at parang gusto kong maging masamang tao. But since andito si Aiah, I fought hard to contain myself not to explode. I need to keep my head above waters, wag papalunod sa galit Mikha Lim. Think, breathe and clear your head.
