Behind the Scenes

Chapter 63

Mikha's POV

Finally composed and ready to get back, I remember the white rose! I hope it will cheer her up and not the other way around.

"Hey, Mikhs? are you okay?" Staku whispered.

I'm sitting beside her. I cleared my throat and sighed.

"Y-yes, Staks."

"Ate Aiah, I hope you'll get better soon, we're not complete when you're not with us, maninibago kami nito sa performance." I heard Sheena's voice.

"Don't worry, Shee.. I know you can do just fine."

"Promise us.. you'll come back soon, ate Aiah, huh?" Maloi asked pouting.

My Aiah just smiled with her sad eyes.
Why does it feels like.. she's not interested in performing, anymore?

I recall, we were very excited the moment Direk announce that we will be endorsing one of the most popular fast food chains here in the Philippines.

But today's launching is not complete because we will be doing it without my Aiah. I can't bring myself to be one hundred percent happy knowing she's not here with us.

I know the blooms are now all asking the same questions; Where is Aiah? What happened to her?

We already talked about it, with Direk and the management. We were all aware what would be the impact of her absence.

We are very sure that the fans will notice it and they will be suspected something is not right, soon. We really raised a fandom full of delulus and detectives.

Knowing she deactivated her social media accounts is a relief. She needs to rest from all the chaos outside.

We survived the show nontheless. Happy to put smiles on the faces of the big crowd earlier. I remember the very cute little girl I was partnered with, she made me genuinely cheery.

"Jho, I'll bring her food and plushie from our sponsor, to her condo, uhm.. do you think it's a good alibi?" I whispered.

Jho look at me smiling from ear to ear.

"Of course, Mikhs! Ayeee! Ohmahgosh!Kinikilig ako!" she's squealing silently.

What's wrong with this girl?

"Hoy Jho, naunsa ka?" Colet asked.

They were just finished freshen up and ready to go.

"Oo nga, pinigil mo pa, eh rinig din naman." Staku added.

"Wag nga kayong KJ? endorser pa man din kayo ng masayahing bubuyog." Jho counter teased.

We all laughed because of Jho's face! She's the true definition of oa.

"I wanna go back to the way we used to be
I wanna feel your skin, your lips so close to me
I wanna go back when I called you mine all the time
Every smile and every moment
If only I have (If only I have) a time machine"

Driving to her condo, I can't help but sing along with the song Time Machine by Six Part Invention.

I just realized that I'm tearing up when I felt something on my face.

I sighed. Here we go again.

You need to be strong, Mikhaela Janna Lim. Your future wife needed you, just pretend she is having amnesia, she won't recognize you as the love of her life so you accepted to be just her close friend for the time being.

Me and my out of this world mind. This is your fault! Those Mikaiah AU writers out there and to the blooms who suggested that I should read.

I parked my car and stay inside for five minutes. My hands are getting sweaty and my heart beats abnormally. I'm nervous and this is not good, I should be facing her with old Mikha's natural goofy personality that exclusively hers.
