Lost Star | MekayaKaBa? Mikhaiah Au

- Goodbyes and Good lies -

-Mikha-

"Please po...sir...Mikha Lim po....paki sabi, Mikha Lim"

I'm begging for the guards to let me see Aiah.

We're here in front of Mansion De Dios and I don't care how long I need to wait para lumabas si Aiah cause I need to talk to her......I need to hear her side.

"Mikhs, mukhang ayaw talaga lumabas. Tara na. Balik tayo bukas." I felt Gwen tapped my shoulders.

I'm sitting on the curb, naka park kami just a few steps away sa gate nila Jeremy. I looked at the girls who's been waiting patiently too sa loob ng car. Maloi almost closing her eyes na dahil sa antok.

I checked my watch ----- 2:13am.

"Kaya pa bai?" Colet sat beside me and even nudged me a bit to call my attention. I'm starting to space out again.

"Kaya pa, Cols." I placed my hands on my knees to help myself up and dusted my pants.

"Last nalang...pag ayaw parin, uwi muna tayo."

I gathered my strength again, with a heavy heart, I walked to the gate and rang the bell once more.

"Ma'am, parang awa nyo na po. Kanina pa po kayo dyan. Wala daw pong kilala na Mikha Lim si Ma'am Aiah. Uwi na po kayo."

"Kuya...paki sabihan naman po please na 'bukas, 7:30am....rooftop' alam niya na po yan. Please po."

"Wait po."

I saw the security guard picked up the telephone on their guard house and talked to someone then he walked back to me.

"Ma'am...pasensya na po talaga. Ipinaalam ko na po kay ma'am Aiah pero sabi niya po umuwi na daw kayo."

"Okay....paki sabi po please I'll wait tomorrow."

I turned around and walked back to Colet's car.

I saw Colet and Gwen was asking if kamusta but I only shook my head.

Gwen held my hand at inakbay ito sakin.

"Andito lang kami, Mikhs. Don't give up."

We all headed to Colet's condo at dun na kami nagpalipas ng gabi. I talked to Mom and assured her that I'm fine, I'll do my best to control myself too. I think I'll be better if I'm with the girls, at least may kakausap sa akin.

--------------

I haven't slept yet but I prepared myself para pumuntang campus. We can still go inside pa naman kahit tapos na yung graduation.

I showered and changed na. It's 6am when I left Colet's condo. I promised to her that I'll be back and I'm glad they still trusted me.

7:00am

I'm sitting here sa rooftop. I can still remember the times when Aiah and I were sneaking out from the girls just to spend our time here.

I closed my eyes and memories come to life. I can hear Aiah's giggles...I can see her face. That bright smile that completes my day. I can see her smiling at me, reaching for my face. I reached for her hand to feel her but only to find I am feeling my own hands on my face.

11:43am

Still no Aiah.

1:27pm

Still waiting for her.

4:08pm

No signs of Aiah coming.
