PART 73

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Nasaan si Mikha?" Stacey asked nung makarating siya sa cafeteria.

It's friday today at ang araw lang na meron silang magkakasabay na schedule. Nagusap silang lahat na they eat lunch together at the cafeteria but si Mikha nalang ang wala nung dumating si Stacey.

"Probably out there with someone" Aiah said and started murdering her lunch. Maloi took the fork and gave Aiah a deadly glare.

"Ilang beses ko bang sasabihin sayo na hindi mo dapat yan ginagawa sa pagkain mo?!" Maloi said. Luckily, na maingay sa cafeteria so they didn't became the center of attraction.

"Sorry. Now, pwede ko na bang makuha yung tinidor ko?" Aiah said and reach her hand tiredly. Maloi gave her a one last glare bago niya ibalik yung tinidor ni Aiah.

"Bakit ba hindi mo nalang sabihin kay Mikha na mahal mo siya?" Sheena said.

"What if she don't already feel the same way na?" Aiah answered.

"But what if she did? Hindi mo malalaman unless you try" Jhoanna said.

"Sometimes Aiah, Kailangan mo din sumugal. Who knows, Mikha might still be inlove with and just being cautious" Gwen said.

"Hindi ko alam. Basta bigyan niyo pa ako ng time" Aiah pleaded.

"How much time do you needed?" Colet asked which made Aiah face her with confusion written in her eyes.

"You might lose your chance if you won't make a move right now" Stacey said and look at the entrance.

Sinundan naman nila kung saan nakatingin si Stacey at colet. Aiah suddenly feel in rage when she saw Mikha entered with Criza. Naguusap sila at nagtatawanan with each other. Aiah grip her fork so tight that it can split into two anytime.

Nung makita ni Mikha ang mga kaibigan niya kung saan nakaupo, She happily waved at them bago pa hilahin si Criza by her hand.

"So sabihin mo nga sa amin kung how much time do you needed again?" Colet whispered.

"Pwede bang tumahimik ka nalang?" Aiah said and rolled her eyes.

"Hi guys, Look who I bumped into" Mikha said nung makarating na siya sa table nila Aiah.

"Bumped? Hinintay mo nga ako" Criza said in a teasing manner.

"Oh, kaya pala late ka na dumating" It's Stacey's turn to tease Mikha which made her scratch her nape and mumbled and apology. Aiah scoffed at tumingin nalang sa malayo, hindi kaya ng mata niya na makita si Criza at si Mikha na magkasama. Mikha heard Aiah scoffing pero nag decide siya na wag na pansinin yon. Naalala niya parin ang ginawa sa kanya last week that gave her a hard time to even look at Aiah.

"I'm sorry. But pwede bang mag lunch with us si Criza diba?" Mikha asked her friends. Nagtinginan naman ang girls and their lips lifted up in a smirk.

"Of course. Gusto namin makilala yung future girl mo" Jhoanna said.

"Just make sure that she's not one of those girls, Lim?" Maloi said, pertaining to Mikha's past flings during their high school days.

Natahimik lang si Aiah she shut her eyes tightly and took a couple of deep breaths. Gusto niyang pakalmahin ang sarili niya or else, masasabunutan niya tong mga babae sa harap niya and drag them wherever she likes.

"Oh, so play girl ka pala?" Criza asked Mikha who is now blushing in embarrassment.

"Hindi! I mean-" Mikha sighed, not knowing the right explanation she will gave to her.
