MIKA's POV
We can be reasonably unreasonable sometimes. Who would've thought that moving on will lead us to US. Sayang daw yung career na pinaghirapan namin highschool palang, volleyball. Limang taon na ang lumipas pero iniisip ko parin kung pano kaya kung hindi kami umalis at tinuloy ang paglalaro, makakamove on din naman siguro kami, diba? Hindi ako nagsisisi na umalis kami, napapaisip lang ako kasi sobrang miss ko na maglaro. Nakakaloka naman kasi yung pinasok namin dito, patayang aral. Well, dinamay lang naman ako ni Ara sa pagaaral. She encouraged me to take different seminars, trainings and even post grad studies para maging "the best psychologist" daw ako. She always have that faith in me, na kaya ko at bilib na bilib pa yan sakin. Nagkatotoo nga ang sinabi nya kasi after all those sleepless nights kakaaral I am very proud to say na isa na akong competitive psychologist oozing with knowledge and skills, sabi yan ni Ara. Proud na proud yan sakin, prouder than my family and self kaya sobrang thankful ako sa kanya. I just can't help missing volleyball, madalas kasi kaming walang oras.
Assistant: Doc lunch break na po, anu gusto nyo kainin? Magoorder din po kami.
There you go. May clinic na ako at filipino din ang kinuha kong assistant. Dr. Mika Aereen M. Reyes, haaaaay ang dating pangarap ko natupad na at may pasobra pa. Ganun din kay Ara, nag LAW school lang naman sya at naipasa ang lahat ng exams para makapagpractice dito. Attorney Victonara S. Galang. Grabe talaga ang babaeng yun, ang talino! Ang daming nangyari while nagaaral sya, nalampasan nya lahat ng hirap at extra shits kaya nakuha nya rin ang respeto ng mga tao sa university na pinasukan nya. Bigatin sya dito! Kilala lalo na ng mga kapwa namin pinoy. Ang dami nyang natutulungan kaya kung proud sya sakin, mas proud ako sa kanya! San kaya yun...
Ara: Biglang sulpot sa pintuan. I brought us lunch Daks. 😀 at ayan nga, kahit busy sya may time pa naman sya for me. Bumabawi toh. Haha
Me: Tingin mo madadala mo ko sa lunch na yan? Sinulyapan ko ang assistant ko na parang kinikilig pa, aba anu movie? Ayan nakahalata din at dahan2 na umexit. Ang maldita ko na. Haha
Ara: of course! I cooked this for you😉 hinain nya na yung niluto nya, aba pork and chicken adobo😍 wala na tampo ko, at alam kong alam nya na yun basing on her smile. Tsss. She knows me well.
Me: kasi naman minsan nalang tayo makakanuod ng volleyball game dito, di mo pa ako sinipot. Pasalamat ka gutom ako ngayon kaya forgiven kana. Tsss dahil miss na miss ko na ang volleyball bumili ako ng ticket namin pero di nga nya ko sinipot kaya imbis na manuod, nagfoodtrip nalang ako. Haaay
Ara: my hands were tied daks. I can't let any of them handle the case since the victim is a filipino. You know how difficult it is for filipinos to fight for justice here.
Me: baby I think we need a break. Sabi ko habang kumakain na kami, napatingin naman sya sakin. Pagoda na tayo lagi, marami na din tayong ipon. Let's visit Philippines...ilang taon na rin, pareho na kaming ready, I know. Nakakamiss na rin dun.
Ara: are you being serious? We went to maldives last month,isn't considered a break? Takang tanung nya habang kumakain.
Me: hindi yun break kasi nagtatrabaho ka habang nandun tayo😏 Miss ko na mga kamaganak natin dun. I'm not lying! Totoong busy sya sa trabaho habang nag babakasyon sana kami, ang dami nyang inaasikaso. Di yun makakalusot sakin, ako pa ba. By this time she knows I'm being serious and I really want to visit pinas.
Ara: I'm sorry. I'll have my schedule cleared first before we visit Philippines. When can I actually say NO to you? Uggghhh natawa kami pareho. Hindi na kasi talaga sya makatanggi sakin simula ng mangibang bansa kami. Lagi syang napapa-OO sa mga gusto ko kahit sobrang busy sya at bumabawi rin agad pagpumapalya sa mga requests ko. Ganyan talaga, ako na toh eh😋
Me: waaaaaah! Never say NO, thank you for spoiling me. Thank you talaga baby! Masaya naman na kami pero iba pa rin syempre kung mabibisita namin yung lugar kung san kami lumaki at kung saan nakatira yung mga taong mahahalaga samin. I am really blessed to have her by my side.
Ara: napakamot sa ulo. Atleast aminado kang spoiled ka sakin, baby daks. Hahaha binilatan ko lang sya. Mga ganitong kulitan namin di ko alintana yung pagiging 25 ko. Hahaha. Feeling young at aaminin kong may kilig pa rin. Lol
ARA's POV
It has been 5 years since we migrated to US. Things changed. I'm very happy with the outcome of our sacrifices here. Mika is my angel, she saved me from totally forgetting myself. Little by little I started to become someone very different from my normal self, I'm glad Mika never gave up on me. She guided me all throughout my shits, until I become a better version of myself. She's the best cheerleader and confidante ever!
Flashback
I became busy with law school. But not so busy, I don't know why but I started playing with girls. Not totally playing but I'm just going with the flow. Like this american med student whose been flirting with me for a week now. She's touchy and I just let her hug and flirt with me. I still have lotsa foreigner women trying to flirt with me. Geeeez, am I that handsome? Haha
Michi: do you want to stay at my place tonight? Never in my wildest dreams did I see myself in this kind of situation, it's kinda funny tho. Maybe I can stay with her, nothing to loss anyways.
Me: su....was not able to answer cause someone with gray eyes pulled me for a hug. O.O now I'm dead. Michi tried to grab my hand but Mika slapped Michi's hand quickly. No wonder she's a blocker. Haha..still I'm in trouble. Geeeez
Michi: ouch! What's wrong with you and who the hell are you?! I'm nervous as fuck, looking at Daks' eyes now...it says BEAST MODE DON'T CARE.
Mika: stared down on Michi. Just get lost. I don't have time for you. Left eyebrow raised and still on her intimidating aura. By that, Michi walked out.
Me: that was rude, daks. There, I was able to talk to lessen the tension between us.
Mika: stop already Victonara! Hindi na ikaw yan. Umayos ka naman. Nagpumilit akong sumama sayo dito para sabay nating ayusin sarili natin, hindi ako pumunta dito para panuorin kang magpapalit-palit ng kalandian! Kung yun lang din naman pala ang gusto mo sana di na tayo umalis ng pilipinas at ako nalang ang nanglandi sayo! Pang-ilang beses na to daks, doble na yung sakit sakin sa totoo lang. She's looking straight to my eyes.
Damn! How the hell did I let this happen. I can't afford to hurt our happy pill again. What happened serves as a wake up call to me. I became more focused on excelling in class and attentive to Mika. It wasn't really hard cause she helps me in everything I do.. She's simply my life's swagger.
KIM's POV
Magbabakasyon daw ang dalawang bullies! Pinaalam ko agad kay Cams, Cienne at Carol pagkatapos naming magfacetime ni Vic. Sa wakas makakasama na rin namin sila dito kahit saglit lang. Yung dalawang yun lang ang naiba ang career samin, kasi kaming 4 na bullies naglalaro parin ng volleyball sa pro-league tsaka may business din kung saan may share din yung dalawa. Dalawa na ang BULLIES RESORT namin, isa sa bohol ay isa sa palawan. Masasabi kong successful kaming lahat sa career na pinili namin. Lalo naman kaming apat na naiwan dito, pamilya, lovelife, laro at negosyo lang ang pinagkakaabalahan. Haha. Yung dalawa sa US busy sa clinic at busy sa mga kaso.
Cyd: negs tulog na tayo. Maaga pa flight natin papuntang cebu bukas...sabi nya habang binabackhug ako. Papalag pa ba ako? Syempre hindi na. I'm really thankful for this day..
