143 ||MIKHAIAH AU|| [Not Finished]

Part 4

A small box. I took it and got inside the house, once i sat down at the couch, I started to open it. There I saw, a flower, letter, and a chocolate. It must be a love letter. I opened the letter and saw the words on the paper.

"My binibining Aria, alam kong hindi mo na ako mahal at ’di mo ako papatawadin pero nanghihingi pa din ako ng pasensya. Sinubukan kong magmove on pero wala. Hindi ko kaya Aria, sorry. Sana patawadin mo ako Binibini. Pasensya na ulit at sana magkita ulit tayo. Kung gusto mo makipag-usap, i-chat mo’ko. Pagnakita mo ito, mabuti.      
                                            -Your ex, Akie."

Nung binasa ko ito ay agad naman akong mapa-isip, 'paano n'ya nahanap kung saan ako nakatira?' Sinubukan Kong i-chat ito.

"Nagbago? Sige, may tiwala na'ko."

"Cute, may girlfriend na. Siguro mas greenflag na s’ya ’no?" Binulong ko sa Sarili ko. Masakit din pala na nakita mong naging greenflag ang ex mo, eh nung kayo ay sobrang red flag. Ang swerte pala ni Finn.

"Sino ba ako para mag-isip ng mga ganito? Nakamove on na’ko. Unti-unting kong nagugustuhan si Maxine. Hindi ko alam kung bakit agad ko s’yang nagustuhan, ’di ko pa nga s’ya alam. ’Di ko alam yung buhay n’ya."

"Na o-overthink ako. Pa’no kung hindi n’ya pala ako gusto? Arg! Ba’t kasi nagustuhan ko s’ya ng Hindi inaasahan? Nakakawalang gana..."

*Maxine Pov*

As I pulled up at my driveway, overthinking about Aria. It's unexpected, I don't like this kind of feeling. It's making me feel so... Nice. I got out of my car and got inside my house. I saw my baby, my cat Haru. I got it and hugged it, this thing is my weakness, after sometime, i was watching TV and the cat's on my lap, peacefully sleeping. I can't help but smile, I will never miss this kind of moment, my favorite baby.

I felt sleepy so I decided to turn the TV off and sleep.

*Aria's Pov*

I worked up, so sleepy. I slept for only 4 hours, but I remembered Maxine, well that was my energy 'drink'. I rushed to the bathroom and showered, after i showered I got out and picked some simple clothes, i wore it and got downstairs to eat. "Shit malapit na’ko malate," i said trying to eat fast. Once I'm done eating, i got my things and got outside.

I was in shocked when i saw it's Maxine, in her usual car and smiling at me. "Took you long enough," she said grinning. She probably planned this. "At bakit ka naman nandito Maxine Lim?" I tease her with a question. She's just opened the car, "Get in. Malalate ka na," she said serious. Wow serious (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

I got in in the passenger seat. She closed it before going to the driver's seat. This time, it doesn't feel like an awkward. In fact, it's cute. Us staring at each other everytime it's a red light. Listening to music. But that one song hits different.

Ilang awit pa ba ang aawitin o giliw ko
Ilang ulit pa ba ang uulitin o giliw ko
Tatlong oras na akong nagpapacute sa iyo
Di mo man lang napapansin ang bagong t-shirt ko

Ilang isaw pa ba ang kakainin o giliw ko
Ilang tanzan pa ba ang iipunin o giliw ko

Gagawin ko ang lahat pati ang thesis mo
Wag mo lang ipagkait ang hinahanap ko
Sagutin mo lang ako aking sinta'y walang humpay o ligaya

Nung nakapunta na kami sa 7-eleven ay nagpasalamat ako at umalis na. Nakangiting umalis ang babae, cutie patootie HAHAHA

Nakita ko nanaman yung ngiti ng tatlo. Hayst, eto nanaman tayo.
