Mikha is a sort of a quiet person who hates being the center of the fame. She lives alone and she always have morals and boundaries. Aiah is a seductive type of person who keeps her inner secret.
She is at the center of fame, keeps herself in a man...

Kasalukuyan akong nagtatrabaho sa bahay dahil gusto kong magpahinga at lumayo sa isang taong kinaiinisan ko, si Zack Peralta.
Actually, I really hate working at home but I have no choice since di ko naman ginusto si Zack na pestering niya ako at hinihintay ko ang pinakamahal ko na si Mikha. But they said that Mikha left and never came back. But is it true what they said? Or rumors lang talaga na that one day, Mikha will be back.
I was too tired to do some work at home, so when the work was done, I decided to go take a short nap on my couch.

While I was taking a nap and talking myself in my dreams, I immediately woke up to the sound of a phone beeping on the table, forcing me to wake up. Arghhh, sino ba itong walang hiya? Alam mo naman na perfect time ko magtulog?! I thought to myself before answering the call, it was Maloi.
Calling Maloi, ang ingay na ingay na babae...
"Ano ba gusto mo Maloi?" - otp
"Maraiah! Si Mikha nandito na sa Pilipinas!" - otp
Wait, kelan siya bumalik? Di manlang magparamdam noong umalis siya noong nakaraang tatlong taon. I thought to myself before replying.
"Wait, kelan siya bumalik?" - otp
"Kahapon bes!" - otp
"May gagawin ba siya ngayon?" - otp
"Apparently, may meeting daw tayo lahat as best friends, including si Theresa at yung husband niya." - otp
"S-sige, kailan?" - otp
"Bukas daw teh" - otp
"Fine" - otp
Call Ended.
I ended the call abruptly. How dare na bumalik siya sa Pilipinas kapag hindi man lang siya sumasagot sa mga sagot ko.
Hays, buhay talaga.
I just decided to sleep, and hope to meet her again tomorrow. But if she just never strikes a thing with me once, I swear to God I'll kill her.
I took a nap on the couch and dozed off.
Morning... (7:30 AM)
I woke up in the morning, knowing that it's Saturday and that the girls decided that the schedule for Mikha's return in the Café is 11:00 AM. Of course Mikha would be there.
Nagluto ako, kumain ng almusal, naghanda ng mga kaswal na damit bago naligo, at pagkatapos ay naligo.
After showering, I wore my clothes, preparing my sling bag that she gifted me years ago, and then left the old apartment that we both shared until she left. In a way that I was unforgiven. (mentioned on Episode XIX.)

Time Passes...

I headed inside the café where I would meet her again. And to my surprise, she was actually there, with no one with her yet.
But when I was about to reach her, her best friend Theresa came to reach her first and when she saw me, she was surprised that I thought that I was actually the first to be here, alongside Theresa. Thank God, I'm not jealous of them.
"Hey Maraiah! Come here, nandito si Matilda!" Theresa said, with a confusion on my face revealed as her name is... Matilda? Wait, since when pa siya nag-iiba ng pangalan niya? I thought to myself.
Umupo ako sa harap ni Mikha- Matilda, kasama si Theresa sa tabi niya. Sa kasamaang palad para sa kanya, ang asawa ni Theresa ay hindi nakarating sa pagbabalik ni Mikha dahil sa kanyang mga abalang trabaho at mga pagpupulong, sabi mismo ni Theresa.
"So here's Matilda Rosenthal Lim, her new British name. Apparently, pinagbago niya ang pangalan niya pero ayaw umamin kung bakit. Kung malaman ko sana bakit umiba ang pangalan niya, di na sana ako nag investigate." Theresa introduced Matilda Rosenthal Lim, Mikha's new name, and explained about the changes of Mikha's official name. Kung bakit kaya nag iba siya ng name, half-British at half-Filipino ba siya? I thought to myself before replying.
Nang nagpatuloy si Theresa sa pagpapaliwanag at nakikinig lang ako, I took a glance at Matilda and she's smiling at me awkwardly. Weird.
"So Maraiah, you can greet Matilda for her return." Theresa said to me and I greeted her.
"H-hi Matilda." I stammered a bit, trying not to make things awkward between us when I try not to look at her smile. Gosh, pogi at maputi parin siya kahit saan. Ganon ba talaga ang maging British para sa kanya? I thought to myself.
"Hello, Aiah, and hey Theresa, can you give us a private moment please? Kailangan ko muna siya kausapin before ang mga friends natin nandito na." Sabi ni Matilda kay Theresa at tumango siya, umaasang mauulit ang usapan naming dalawa.
Pero nagulat ako, gumagamit siya ng British accent na nagpaparamdam sa akin na isa siyang total foreigner para sa akin.
After Theresa left the Café for a while, Matilda turned to me and said softly.
"Ummm... Aiah? How have you been? Ang tagal na di na ako nagparamdam, okay ka lang ba? Nasaktan ka ba ni Zack ng paulit-ulit?" Sabi niya na sincere at malambing na tono, at na nagparamdam sa akin na siya ang aking tagapagtanggol.
"Okay lang ako Matilda, pero namiss ko parin ang name mo, Mikha..." I was speaking but she shushes me with her index finger, making me confused in front of her.
"Just call me Rose, I like my name when you call it. Just because I'm British, doesn't mean I can tell you about my secret life yet." Rose said in a bit serious, and I could tell she was expecting something a danger. But no, she's not revealing everything that I wanted to know. She continued.
"And if you see someone that is talking beside me, it's my Agents. Don't be jealous just because we didn't have a closure yet. But if we make ourselves to closure the past, we could move on and start anew." Rose said, and the nicknames are better than Matilda. But I didn't want to call her Rose, I want to call her Mikha. But I have no choice, it's her official name and it's Matilda, so I decided to just call her Matilda.
"Okay..." I said and sighed, hindi alam kung ano ang aasahan pagkatapos ng pribadong pag-uusap na ito at narinig ko ang pagbukas ng pinto at lumingon ako. Yung mga girls natin, yey...
A/N: I have felt too bored at things right now, academic performances are killing me ugh. Please vote.
