Behind the Scenes

Chapter 82

"M-Mikha Lim?" I called her.

She's busy, doing something in front of her closet.

"Hmm?" she didn't even look at me.

She's giving me cold treatment since the girls left.

"M?"

"Yes."

I sighed and made my way to her. I back hugged her.

"You're ignoring me." I pout.

"You should go home and rest, you have schedule for tomorrow." she replied.

"Are you mad because I'm the reason why we swapped the-"

She cut me off.

"Baby, no." she said firmly. "I'm just worried of you, it's a whole day, Love.. and I.. the girls are not there to support you.. I-I'm not with you." she turn to face me.
"Please don't get me wrong, I know you're strong, I believe you can do it, but you're on your own tomorrow. My worry is that.. they're not aware of what you've been through, what if they unintentionally say or do something that will trigger.." she sighed.

I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

"I get it, Baby." I smiled at her, still feeling giddy because I let my heart speaks for myself, today. "If I were to choose, I'd want you beside me all the time." I added.

"I just.." she sighed while doing thumb rubs on my arms. "I just don't want to see you suffer again, I can't.. Baby, isn't it too early for that kind of schedule?" I saw how worried she is in her eyes.

"Sorry for worrying you, Love but h-how would I know if I will not try, right?" I said softly. "And ate Ica will be there for me, Love." I assured her.

She look at me with so much admiration in her eyes. She then smile and shook her head a little.

"You're so unfair, you shouldn't use the Love endearment card with me on this kind of argument, Baby." she said while hugging me.

"But why? I missed calling you, Love." I smiled and hug her back, tightly.

I heard her giggled and she snuggled closer into my neck.

"Not as much as I missed hearing you calling me Love." she said with muffled voice.

I blushed. The familiar warmth that she's giving me is like home and it's just feels right.

"You always know how to use your words, Mikha Lim." I giggled.

"This side of me is only exclusive to you, Love." she kissed my cheek. "Now, I want you to promise me, you're not going to push yourself too much and you'll inform me if you think you can't handle it there, okay?" she said while looking into my eyes.

"Yes po, sorry for not telling you about this, agad." I sighed. "I was actually the one who insisted to do this as soon as possible, and it's my condition that this project should just.. a one day schedule." I confessed.

"Huh? What do you mean? Why did you do that?"

"Because I want this to get done before the Biniverse concert." I answered, honestly. "I mean, I like the collaboration because the song is close to my heart, but that doesn't mean I will give them most of my time. I talked to Direk and told him, I'm willing to do the project just in one day, since our schedule is really tight and I don't like having interactions with so many people, I guess, he just convinced the other party." I stated.

"But Love, what's with the rush?" she's confused.

"Because, this project is just really a one day project, we will do all of the necessary recording on the same day. After that, they will just send me the final edit of the song and if it's okay with me, then.. that's it. And actually.. one of my conditions is.. I will not engage in promoting the song when they release it."
