Miro's POV
-🦊-
I was about to go home when I saw Aliah. I walk closer to her.
"Hello." I smile at her.
She flinched slightly and slapped my arms.
"Nakakagulat ka." She said, annoyed.
Sungit naman niyan.
"Sorry po Ma'am." I said and showed her a peace hand sign.
"Samahan na kita pauwi." I offered, she seems hesitant so I nodded.
"Sam and I will walk together kasi." She reason out.
"Ganun? Okay. Uwi na lang muna ako then puntahan kita sa bahay niyo for dinner?" I asked with joy but her eyes widened.
"Ay! Hindi ko pala nasabi sayo pero bumisita kasi yung family ko from Cebu Miro." She said while looking at me with a guilty expression.
My smile fades away as soon as I heard that.
Right if her family find out about us. Wait there's no us naman so? What is there to find out? Nothing.
"So no dinner together? It's okay." I tried to keep my voice steady even though I know I am shaking inside.
She was about to reach for my hand but I stepped back. She looked at me confusedly.
"Baka may makakita pa sa'tin. Sige na Ma'am. Una na po ako." I force out a smile and wave at her as I walked away from her.
I quickly walk to my car and get in.
I hold onto the steering wheel tightly as I let out a deep breath.
"Fuck!"

It's already dark when I came home. I press the light switch to turn on the light. The heavy and uncomfortable feeling inside my chest bother me a lot.
As I removed my shoes, I heard a familiar voice somewhere inside the house.
"You're home." Cleir smiles at me.
I don't know how to act around her ever since she told me the truth.
I can't seems to process everything in my mind.
Hindi naman madali para sakin na tanggapin lahat ng nangyari pero isang bagay na alam ko, mas magaan na ngayon.
Hindi na ako galit.
Hindi na ako puno ng mga katanungan.
Hindi na ako nawawala.
Hindi na ako nalilito.
Siguro hindi ako mabubuo agad pero malapit na.
"Hi Cleir." I smiled at her.
"Kumain ka na ba? Nagluto ako." She asked me.
