Miro had been lying on her bed for an hour now. She keep on flipping side to side from time to time. But she just can't find the right position to sleep. She buried her face to her pillow.
"AHH!" she scream.
Then again the moment they had together flash on her mind. She sit up on her bed.
"You will be the death of me."

Miro smile as she lean closer to her and put a gentle kiss on her forehead and pull away.
Aliah open her eyes as soon as she felt the absence the Miro's lips on her forehead.
They stare at each other then they both look away at the same time.

A familiar sound from her phone pull her from her thoughts.
"Hello." She said as soon as she answer the phonecall.
"Uy buti naman buhay ka pa. Saan ka ba nagpunta? Dumaan ako dyan sa inyo kanina pero wala ka pa?" Miro put her phone away from her ears because of too much volume from the other line.
"Will you please calm down, Jens?" She said while smiling like an idiot.
"Did you just use your soft voice right now?" Jens suspiciously asked but Miro shake her head even though her friend can't see her.
"Omg, Miro. Ang weird mo na this past few weeks ah. Ilang linggo ka pa lang nagiging president ng university nagkakaganyan ka na." Jens said in exaggeration.
"Bakit ba?" Miro ask as if she has no clue about it.
"I don't know either, Miro. Tell me about it. Hindi ka na sumasabay pauwi tapos lagi mo pang sinasabi na may kotse ka with you pero hindi ko naman nakikita na pumupunta ka sa parking area. Tapos lagi ka din late umuuwi pero sa umaga hindi naman kita naaabutan sa bahay niyo. " Jens keep on ranting.
Miro took a deep breathe as she lay down again.
"I was busy okay? Don't worry, I'll surely make it up to you. Nagtatampo ka ba?" Miro's expression softened as she felt the guilt creeping on her.
'Sorry for lying Jens.'
Their conversation comes to end, however the worry on Miro's mind keep on lingering.
"What would they say once they find out?" She asked herself as she let out sighed.

Despite of staying up late last night, Miro dragged herself out for the bed for self-preparation.
When she finished her morning routine and satisfied with her looks, she made her way out from her room. She saw Cleir who's eating alone. The latter turn to her when her heard her footstep.
"Breakfast?" Cleir asked.
"No, thanks." Miro replied without looking at her. She was about to walk away but Cleir quickly walked towards her and extend a lunchbox.
"At least bring this, just in case you need something to eat." Cleir plead but Miro stare at her without any emotion.
"I said no-
" Please?"
"Fine." Miro accept the lunchbox and went away.
Cleir watch her leave and a smile form on her lips.

Miro didn't wait outside Aliah's apartment today. She's afraid that Jens might find out what she's doing.
