Falling For Mikhaela Janna Lim

Chapter 49: Disaster

NO ONE'S POV

Naiwan namang nakabusangot si Maloi nang takbuhan siya ni Stacey papasok sa elevator, habang si Sheena ay walang tigil sa kakatawa sa kaniya.

"Oh ano ka ngayon Ate Loi? Sabi ko sa'yo, galaw-galaw eh, mapag-iiwanan ka niyan." Sheena teased.

"Tigilan mo 'ko Shee ha, masaya ang single life ko." Maloi retorted to her friend.

"Ayaw mo ba humarot, teh? Huwag ka na umasa kay Ate Colet, reto kita sa iba."

"Ayaw ko sa iba- I mean, ayaw ko ng reto." bawi agad ni Maloi sa sinabi niya nang muntikan siyang madulas.

But Sheena had already caught it and gave her a knowing look.

"Ay talaga naman si Yves, kuhang-kuha ni Nicolette sa pagnakaw ng unang halik niya."

"Ikaw Shee, tigil tigilan mo'ko ha, namumuro ka na sa'kin tamo susumpa ko talaga pag iibigan n'yo ng bebe mo."

"Tsaka hindi ko naman kasalanan kung hinalika-" Maloi was about to continue her defensive rant when a firm voice cut her off.

"Hinalikan nino?" Colet suddenly asked, her brows furrowed in curiosity.

Maloi froze.

Her heart skipped a beat as she slowly turned around, only to find Colet and Gwen standing right behind her.

Namula agad si Maloi, parang lutang na biglang nagkataranta, her words stuck in her throat.

Colet's heart skipped a beat when she heard Maloi almost blurt out something about a kiss.

She felt a sudden familiar unexpected pang of jealousy, thinking Maloi was referring to someone else.

"Hinalikan nino?" Colet repeated at nakabusangot na nakatingin kay Maloi.

Her mind raced as she tried to figure out who Maloi might be talking about.

Was it someone else?

Someone recent?

Or yong nakaw na halik ko?

Maloi, meanwhile, was too flustered to realize the change in Colet's tone.

"Wala! si chowlong hinalikan'yong aso ng kapitbahay ko! she stammered, desperately trying to cover up her slip-up.

She didn't notice Colet's eyes narrowing or the sudden coldness in her expression.

All Maloi could think of was the kiss they had shared, which had been weighing on her mind.

Jusko po, baka sabihin n'yang hindi pa rin ako naka move on sa kiss na 'yon!

Colet, on the other hand, was overthinking the situation, her mind jumping to conclusions at hindi naniniwala sa sinabi ni Maloi.

May naging boyfriend n'ya nong asa America ako?

Ang unfair, ang loyal ko sa ka-piskit ano bang pakealam ko kung may nakahalikan s'yang iba?

Sheena, still chuckling, nudged Maloi playfully.

"Ayan muntikan ka pang mahuli." Pang aasar ni Sheena.

Maloi blushed even harder, and for a split second, she glanced at Colet before quickly looking away.

Gwen raised an eyebrow at the awkwardness between the two kaya siniko nya si Colet at bumulong.

"Pass sa halata Ate Col."
