PART 66

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Anong ginagawa niyo diyan?" Mikha asked nung makita niyang nakasandal na sila wall While Aiah seems like na tatalunan nalang sila anytime.

"W-wala. Naguusap lang kami" Gwen said and laugh awkwardly.

"Pero bakit mukang galit na galit si Aiah?" Mikha tilted her head a bit out confusion.

"Kasi nga nagsesel-mhff" Maloi quickly cover Colet's mouth with her hand. Natakot sila na baka lalo silang atakihin ni Aiah kahit nandyan na si Mikha.

"Inaasar lang naman talaga namin si ate Aiah and she got annoyed" Sheena said. telling half of the truth. "Diba ate Aiah?" She added.

Aiah scoffed and flipped her hair and cross her arms afterwards. "Whatever" She said.

"Okay?." Mikha said slowly, as if she's not yet convinced. "Anyways, Saan niyo ba gustong kumain ng dinner ngayon? Gusto ko kayong ipagluto pero hindi pa rin ako tapos mag unpack ng other kitchen stuffs." She added.

"As if you really knew how to cook" Aiah quickly covered her mouth nung marealize niya kung ano ang sinabi niya. Her eyes widened in surprise as she look at Mikha. Hindi niya alam na okay ba kay Mikha na mag salita sa kanya ng ganon. Aiah thought she may be overwhelmed when Mikha talk to her casually earlier. Pero knowing na may something between them going on, Aiah's mind turn into a disaster.

"Try mong tanungin si Stacey, She loves my cooking" Mikha said sabay labas ng dila niya. Aiah once again was surprised sa ina-act ni Mikha towards her. Nage-expect siya ng cold, emotionless response pero she got the opposite of it. Hindi lang si Aiah ang nagulat kundi silang lahat hinding hindi maalis sa mukha nila na nagulat sila.

"O-oo. You should try yung luto ni Mikha, Aiah. It's delicious! nung una hindi ako nagtitiwala sa kanya pero expect the unexpected" Stacey said. Saving them from an awkward atmosphere. Hindi na makapag salita si Aiah so she just nodded slightly.

"Ipagluluto kita one of this days Aiah" Mikha said with a bright smile that made Aiah's heart skip a beat. "I'll make sure na hinding hindi mo makakalimutan yung lasa non." Mikha added.

"O-okay." Aiah said. Napahawak naman si Aiah sa dibdib niya and feel her heart beating. She took a couple of  deep breathes, hoping na mapakalma niya ang sarili niya.

"Tara na? Nakahanap ako ng magandang restaurant malapit lang dito. Hintayin ko nalang kayo sa labas ah" Mikha smiled before walking her way out.

"Whoa. What the actual fuck?" Colet said nung nawala na si Mikha sa paningin nila.

"Akala ko sasagutin ka ni Mikha with a cold answer" Stacey said.

"I expected that actually too." Aiah said.

"Maybe nakapag move na si Mikha?" Jhoanna blurted.

A pang of pain hit right into Aiah's heart. Narealize niya na may point si Jho. Hindi naman kasi siya kakausapin ni Mikha ng ganon kung meron pa rin siyang feeling for her. Hinila naman ni Stacey ang tenga ni Jhoanna as punishment sa pagiging insensitive niya. Jhoanna mouthed an apology towards kay Aiah. Nginitian nalang ni Aiah and tumango bago siya lumakad papalayo.

"So how was it?" Mikha asked.

Binigyan naman nila si Mikha ng thumbs up since punong puno ang bibig nila. They were eating non stop ever since they came here.

"Hoy shee eat slowly" Gwen warned Sheena. Sheena suddenly choked which made Jho panicked. Agad naman inabutan ni Gwen si Sheena ng glass of water.

"I told you na dahan dahan ka lang kumain" Gwen said worriedly.
