Dopamine Part 2

Chapter 10: Start over

Aiah's POV

When I reached Miks' condo, nagkakagulo yung madlang people kaya I asked kuyang guard, "Kuya, anyare po?"

"Naku, suicide attempt daw ma'am," he replied.

Suddenly, my knees felt weak, hindi ko alam bakit kinabahan ako bigla and my feet led me to rush towards the commotion. Dumagdag pa yung 'di magandang panaginip ko the other day.

"Hala, ang bata pa nung babae." Oh fuck, babae??

"Naku, nag cheat daw iyong jowa." Another fuck.

"Dapat 'di niya sinasayang yung buhay niya sa maling tao." Aray 'te ha?

Lalo ako kinabahan after hearing them. And by the time I reached, the person was on a stretcher being wheeled to the ambulance.

I did my best to sight kung anong hair color nung babae. Of course buhok agad yung tiningnan natin to make sure it isn't her. And thank God, I was able to see na black yung hair nung babae.

Pero, on a side note, I cannot with this people na mga nakiki-marites ha? Winner talaga ang Pinas sa ganito.

A little while later, a guy approached the scene running toward the girl. "Oh my God, mahal," the guy cried as he reached her arm.

Nag-cheat tapos iiyak iyak. I mean, I know I'm not in the position to bash or judge him pero— okay sorry, quiet na lang me.

"Bahala kayo diyan," I uttered to myself.

As for me, I have my own issue to settle. I think humihinga pa naman si ate girl so I just wish she survives and ma-settle rin nila yung issue nila.

As I turned and face the other way around; ready na sana ako to walk papunta sa agenda ko, but— andito na pala siya sa harap ko.

There in front of me stood, Mikha Lim—my beautiful ex-girlfriend that I am here to pursue. I admit I was startled and froze for a few minutes but as soon as I saw her, I ran and wrapped her in my arms.

"Flowers for me?" she teased and I don't know why I felt at ease sa tone niya. I think nawala yung kaba ko mula kanina na feeling ko kakawala na yung puso ko.

I pulled out from the hug and handed the flowers to her, "Yes, for you."

"Come," Miks pulled my arm, I guess to take me somewhere else. But before that, I peeked back at the people gathering.

"She will survive, don't worry," and the next thing I knew, we were out of her condo, walking along the familiar streets.

'Parang uulan ah.' I told myself as soon we stepped outside. Pero I liked it, I missed this, sobra kong namiss 'to—the late night walk and talks with Miks.

"If she wanted to die, she should've jumped out of the building you know," she uttered, I guess just to lighten up the mood.

"Uy, grabe ka," I replied and took the chance to speak-up. "..but I got so scared."

I don't know if it was the hormones pero I feel like I'm gonna burst into tears.

"Why?" she giggled. I looked at her and she was sincerely smiling. Nakakatunaw yung mga ngiti niya, and I fell I could like grab her for a kiss right now.

"I t-thought it—" I haven't finished what I was about to say and I guess she really knows me so well she continued,"..it was me?"

"I overheard kanina, they said nag cheat daw yung jowa niya." I answered shyly and she chuckled.
