It's been three months since Mikha and Aiah got into arguments. Ever since that incidence happened Mikha focused on her new work but she didn't cut ties to her friends except to Aiah. Even she's fully aware that Aiah are mad to her and she is also nakikibalita parin sya kina Yves about kay Aiah after all hindi naman ganun kadali para mag-sawalang bahala nalang.
Nasa meeting ngayon si Mikha kasama investor ng hotel at it's almost an half hour their discussing about the upcoming events their about to host. It's lunch time kaya sa isang restaurant around BGC sila nag  meeting. She was surprise ng pagtingin nya sa entrance ng restaurant she saw a two familiar faces. It's Aiah and Stanley.




Mikha look away when the two passing to their table. She's wearing her eye glasses and she even dyed her hair again with black kaya hindi sya kaagad makikila ni Aiah at mukhang nasa kasama lang nito ang atensyon.





From time to time Mikha look at Aiah's table nakatalikod naman si Aiah sa direction nila Mikha kaya malaya syang tingnan ito. She admits that she miss Aiah so much. But seems the two looks like a couple na iwinaksi nya na sa isip ang kaibigan.
After their meeting the investors bid good bye to Mikha and for the last time she look to Aiah direction before she leave too.

While driving going back to the hotel ramdam nya ang bigat sa dibdib nya. Bakit pa kasi kailangan nyang makita ang mga ito? bulong nya sa hangin habang nag mamaneho.
Pagkabalik niya sa hotel itinuon nya atensyon nya sa trabaho nya at kaliwat kanan na mga concerns. It's already six in the afternoon when she finished her works. She message Colet to accompany her sa Xylo to grab a quick drink and kumustahan. Kaagad naman na pumayag ang mga ito lalo na't nitong mga nakaraang buwan na panay yaya ang mga ito hindi sumama si Mikha.
It's 6:45 in noon when Mikha arrived at Xylo, mas nauna sila Colet sa kanya kasi mag malapit company ng mga ito kaysa sa kanya.





"Hi!..guys" Mikha said when she approach the table of their friends. Nagulat pa ang mga ito dahil hindi kaagad sya nakilala.
"Ohh wow...is that you Miks? new look kama naman ah" pahayag ni Yves ng ma notice na sya nito. Tumawa nalang si Mikha sa tinuran ng kaibigan.
"So... what we gonna drink tonight?" Mikha ask when she seat already. Tila na excite naman lalo mga kaibigan nya.
"Ay..wow na transfer kalang Miks bigla ka nalang naging ganyan....kala namin puro ia nalang trabaho e" sabi naman ni Sheena. Tumawa nalang ulit si Mikha sa mga pinagsasabi ng mga kaibigan nya. Siguro nanibago lang ang mga ito sa kanya.
"May nangyari ba kaya ka nagyaya?" Colet ask while the waiter serving their drinks.
"Wala naman...na miss ko lang kayo... matagal narin na puro ako tanggi sa mga pagyaya nyo" Mikha said trying to hide the truth behind this sudden night out.

"Ahh.. okay..... anyway Yves na message mo na si Aiah? Sabihin mo isama nya narin sila Stacey at Jho" Colet said habang nakatingin na ito kay Yves. Mikha was nervous when she heard what Colet instruct to Yves.
"Ahh..pupunta dito sila Aiah?" Mikha ask to Colet casually. Bumaling naman si Colet sa kanya para sagutin tanong nya.
"Oo...anyway before ka pa nag-yaya today naka plan narin itong night out natin to celebrate the successful ads launch with Jollibee" Colet replied while looking to Mikha. Napatango nalang si Mikha sa sinabi ni Colet.
"Ahh okay.... congrats by the way for that project" Mikha sincerely say to Colet who's attention is on Mikha while the other girls was drinking lang.
"Thanks.." Colet said at nakipag toast kay Mikha. After a short talk to her friend Mikha took more glasses of drinks as her goal was to get drunk before Aiah's arrived para may dahilan na syang umuwi kaagad. It's suffocating for her being entangled again to the woman she loved.

Just an half hour Mikha felt the after effects of the drinks they intake. Para syang nanigas sa kinauupuan when she heard Aiah voice and the two woman who's with Aiah also.
"Hi! guys.... looks like nakarami na kayo ah" Aiah said which Mikha heard but didn't pay attention to the three woman who arrived.
"Itong si Miks kasi parang uhaw na uhaw" Yves said while pointing at Mikha using the wine glass she's holding. Alam ni Mikha na nasa kanya na atensyon ng mga ito pero she didn't bother to look at them instead she excuse herself to go to the restroom. 
She spend a minute in the restroom to fix herself. Hindi sya sanay uminom kaya for sure mabilis syang malalasing ngayon. Shen can't even look straight at the way kanina papuntang CR kahit ayos pa naman ang diwa nya. She was about to exit the restroom when someone called her name. When she look who's in front of her, she smile automatically when she noticed Belle. The woman who replaced at her position sa advertising company nila Aiah.
