Falling For Mikhaela Janna Lim

Chapter 35: Omega

NO ONE'S POV

"That's the only job I gave you, and you still couldn't do it right." Zeus growled, his irritation clear as he delivered a powerful punch to the heavy bag Hades was holding steady.

"I followed your orders. It's just that she's harder to manipulate than we expected." Hades replied, gripping the bag tighter, bracing for Zeus' next punch.

"Ulol, ang sabihin mo, pinapairal mo 'yang konsensya mo." Singit ni Apolo from the side, effortlessly lifting a heavy barbell.

"Why bother with all these plans, Zeus? Can't we just kill Mikha outright and be done with it?" Medyo iritang tanong ni Ares while dodging a punch from Poseidon during their sparring session.

"Stupid, why would you kill her? Wala naman siyang kasalanan sa atin, it's her parents." Poseidon shot back, his voice low but firm.

"We will kill her." Apollo interjected, his voice cold and calculated. "But first, let's make her suffer. Through her suffering, her family will also pay the price."

"That Mikha... she looks stupid, no? Walang kaalam-alam sa mundong ginagalawan niya. She's too confident, thinking she's untouchable under her family's protection." Ares sneered.

"Agree, but let's not judge a book by its cover." Hades added.

"Basta mag focus kayo sa pinagagawa ko sa inyo at ikaw Hades, manahimik ka na muna at asikasohin mo 'yong ibang bagay, lalo na 'yong apat na tauhan natin nawawala baka hawak na 'yon ng mga Lim at baka pakantahin sila, ako na gagawa ng palpak na gawain mo." Iritang sabi ni Zeus at naunang lumabas sa training spot nila.

AIAH'S POV

"Ate Aiah, kain lang kami saglit, dalhan ka na lang namin ng pagkain pag balik." paalam ni Sheena, but I just smiled and shook my head.

"No, sasama ako. Wait lang, ayusin ko lang table ko." I replied as I started fixing my things.

Habang nag-aayos ako, ramdam kong nakatingin sila sa'kin, pero hindi ko na lang pinansin.

Ngayon lang ulit ako sasabay sa kanila kumain sa cafeteria, after almost a month of locking myself up here in the council office para hindi ko makasalamuha si Mikha.

Besides, I don't want to be unfair to her-kami na nga lang ang magka-close tapos maiilang pa siya pag kasama ako.

And I know it's partly my fault, dahil na-fall ako sa kaniya.

And to be honest, I kinda miss Gwen, Colet, and Jhoanna too.

"Sure ka ba, Ate Aiah? Andon si Mikha and Ash ha." Staku asked me worriedly.

Ngumiti lang ako sa kaniya, kahit na naramdaman kong kumirot ang dibdib ko when she mentioned their names.

"Syempre! Okay na ako, don't worry, guys." I stated, nauna nang lumabas, knowing na mahahalata nila kung nagsasabi ako ng totoo or hindi.

By the time we reached the cafeteria, I was already mentally preparing myself. Deep down, I knew I wasn't fully ready for this.

Guide me, Lord.

Amen.

I spotted Colet, Jhoanna, and Gwen, but it didn't take long before my eyes landed on her.

Katabi n'ya si Ashley.

Nakatutok ang mata n'ya sa binabasa n'yang libro.

I know it's so marupok of me to admire her, especially with that serious look on her face and her glasses, even after she gave me the coldest shoulder when I confessed.
