Secret and Lies (completed)

PART 82

MIKHA'S POV

"Finally, natapos din ang hell week" I mumbled as soon as I woke up.

I let out a groan as I stretched my arm. It's been a week nung makatulog ako ng ganito pero parang 1 month pa din akong hindi nakakatulog. there's another thing that I was longing for. I miss having dates with my kinn. Nabusy kaming dalawa these past few days. Wala kaming chance na makalabas since we need to prioritize our studies first before anything.

Pero ngayon, since meron kaming rest day, I should ask her to go out on a date with me. I pretty sure na namimiss na niya yung my annoying ass.

"Seriously?" I said in a loud voice.

Nagulat ako nung makita ko yung clock sa table. It's already 12 noon. Nakatulog ba ako ng ganong kahaba? My stomach suddenly made a sound. It's almost past lunch time, Kailangan ko na bumaba at kumain.

Bumangon naman na ako sa bed ko and do my daily routine. Napatingin naman ako agad sa pinto ng room ni Aiah once na makalabas ako ng kwarto ko. I'm wondering kung kumain na ba siya. I knock a few times pero walang sumasagot don. Then nag decide ako na buksan na ang pinto and took a peek. Who knows, baka natutulog pa si Aiah.

"Oh, Wala siya dito" I mumbled to myself nung hindi ko siya nakita sa room niya.

Baka bumaba na si Aiah pero the whole house seems like a little bit quiet. Bumaba naman na ako an I was right, the whole house seems empty. Umakyat naman ako agad to check the girls baka nasa rooms lang sila.

Una pumunta ako sa room ni Jhoanna bago pa ako kumatok nakarinig ako, nang naggigitara galing sa room ni Stacey.

"Come in!" Stacey yelled nung narinig niya akong kumakatok.

"Finally gising ka na" Stacey said and put aside her pink guitar nung makita niya akong pumasok sa room.

"Have you eaten already na ba?" I asked.

"Not yet. Hinihintay kitang magising. Actually, Im on the verge of pouring you some cold water." Stacey said with a smirk. I stared at her in awe and acted like I was hurt.

"How rude" I said. Stacey giggle and went off her bed. Agad naman niya akong hinila halatang gutom na tong babaeng to.

"Whoa. Sino gumawa nito?" I said when I found a lots of delicious dishes patiently waiting on the table.

"Pumunta dito kanina yung Mom ni Aiah, niluto niya lahat yan" She pulled out a chair and flopped herself into it as she stare hungrily at those foods. I chucked and Umupo na ako sa harap niya.

"Kung gising ka kanina nung nandito yung mom niya, bakit hindi ka kumain kasama sila?"

"Gusto ko lang din bigyan sila ng mother and daughter time kaya nag stay nalang ako don sa kwarto ko"

"Ah is that so? Anyway, Nasaan si Aiah?"

"She probably left with her mom"

"ee yung girls?"

"May exams pa rin sila today"

"Can we just eat already? gutom na ako, Mikhaela" dag dag niya.

I giggled and raised both of my hands as a sign of surrendering. hindi mo pwede istorbohin si Stacey when it comes to food.

Nung matapos na kami kumain ni Stacey bumalik na kami sa mga room namin. I've been scrolling whole day while waiting for Aiah to comeback. Pero it's already 3 pero wala pa rin signs of Aiah. Well, kasama naman niya ang mom niya. Maybe we can have a date some other time.
