Mika's POV
Ever since Ara returned from Thailand, we never had time to meet since I am busy with my kids and she's busy with her visitor. So I asked her out today. Just the two of us. Alam kong may pinagdadaan ang bestfriend ko. At gusto kong malaman kung ano yun.
"Bee! I'll head out first okay?" Paalam ko kay Jeron. It's already 10am at day off niya ngayon kaya siya naman ang maghahatid sundo sa mga bata.
"Okay. Be safe bee!"
I drove to a cafe nearby. Jeron and I still live somewhere on Taft. Wala eh. Mahal na mahal kasi namin ang Taft. Anyway, it's called 'Cafe de Seoul'.
"10 minutes late." Sermon sa akin ni Ara as soon as I enter the cafe
"Eto naman. First date natin to after six months tas ganyan ang bungad mo sa akin?" Biro ko sa kaniya.
"Sorry. Alam mo namang ayaw kong nagiintay" natatawang sagot niya sa akin.
"Aga aga humu hugot." Sagot ko dito at saka..... binatukan ako.
"Inumin mo nalang yang coffee mo miss." Isa pang sermon niya. Napa iling nalang tuloy ako. She used to be like that. Iritable at rude. HAHAHA
Anyway, Ara and I decided to go to Aura. She's driving. Tutal siya naman ang nag aya. Edi siya na mag drive ng pagka layo layo. -_- We're actually having lunch now.
"How's life Tomsy?" As I called her Tomsy, she startled and was surprised. When we finished college, we decided na Mika at Ara nalang yung tawagan namin. But then, I call her Tomsy, when I know something's going on with her.
"I am fine" sagot niya pero may halong kaba.
"Magaling ka sa volleyball, you're also good in skating, cooking and playing games. But you know what, you're not a good liar." Seryosong sabi ko sa kaniya
"Is something going on with you?" Seryoso pero kalmadong tanong ko sa besffriend ko.
"I'll be fine. I think?"
"See. May problema ka nga. I told you before. We're your friends. You shouldn't hide things. So, what's going on?" Tanong ko pa. Lately, she was always spaced out. Ewan ko ba. Laging naba blank space yung utak niya lately eh
"It has something to do with my health" she stated.
I was surprised of course. So I started to stop my self from talking and just listen to her. A thing that a friend should do. And hearing more of her stories hurt me. All these times, may pinagdadaanan na pala ang bestfriend ko pero hindi ko manlang yun napansin. No one knew.
"Am I the first one to know?" Tanong ko sa kaniya.
"Nope. Kim knew. She accidentally saw my papers when I left it sa cafe." Sagot niya sa akin. Pero hanggang ngayon, hindi pa din ako makapaniwala.
"Okay ka lang?" Tanong niya sa akin. Napatawa nalang ako. Sarcastically.
"No. Okay ka kang? I should be the one asking you that"
"I am fine. My therapy sessions are still on going. I'll be fine." Sagot niya sa akin pero alam kong pilit niya lang sinasabi yun.
Ara looks like a strong person. But she's weak inside. Siya yung tipo ng taong magsasabi na 'okay lang ako.' Kahit na hindi naman. She's the type of person who wouldn't want to bother someone else because of her problems.
"Sigurado ka?" Tanong ko pa sa kaniya.
"Yup. I'll be fine soon. Don't worry."
We finished our meal kaya naman nagyaya na akong umuwi. Ihahatid ko nalang siya sa QC since dala ko naman yung sasakyan ko.
