Aiah's POV

Aiah: huyyyyy are these really for me? grabe man uy 🥹

Anon: haha, u deserve all of it Aiah 😘

Grabe, lakas maka pa-fall besh ah.

To be honest, I was having second thoughts if I'm gonna respond to her— assuming it's a her.

Hindi ko alam kung sobra ko lang miss si Miks and if delulu lang talaga ako but the feeling was so different. The urge is so strong and I don't know why I feel it's... her.

So, I ended up texting her back, and believe me, after two weeks of sleepless nights; after I conversed with her, I was able to sleep well.

Call me desperate, but it gave me another hope na she still loves me and may chance pa talaga.

The next morning, when I woke up, I was so excited to check my phone to see if I had received a message from her.

And hindi po tayo nabigo, may pa good morning talaga siya. Parang high school lang na tinext ng crush yung kilig ko beh!

Anon: good mooooorning aiaaaahhhhh

Aiah: ayy grabe ung energy feel ko siya here

Anon: naman, batang energen po tayo 😘

Aiah: good morning, idk what to call u

Anon: baby na lang

Ay, 'wag ganun

Anon: joke

Not a good joke

Aiah: ayoko ng baby

Oh God, Aiah, you and your impulsive thoughts

Anon: why naman?

Aiah: babytawan ka lang 😭

Anon: sige wag na baby, mahal na lang, kasi kaya kita mahalin habang buhay

"Shet," I mumbled to myself. This is not good. Panindigan mo 'tong kilig ko hoy!

"Aiah, apaka rupok mo beh,"
"What if hindi si Miks 'to?"
"Pero, what if siya nga?"
"Waaah.. What to do?????" my inner thoughts raced.

In the middle of my contemplation, ako'y nakatulog ulit.

Nagising ako sa boses nung girls sa living room. I checked at the time and it's already ten in the morning. Grabe, that was a good sleep.

I overheard Sheena asked "Tulog pa ate Aiah?"

I stood close sa door para mas marinig ko pa sila.

"Oo girl, himala nga, ngayon lang nakatulog nang ganyan 'yan." Of course, it was Jhoanna.

"Palibhasa kasi inspired, may secret admirer."

"Tapos may pa-breakfast ulit," after I heard this, my hands automatically reached for my phone to check her messages.

Pa fall: mahal ko Oh Aiah, ang ngiti.
