CHAPTER XXXIX: Hello Love Goodbye

Mika: Jessey, please

Bumitaw si Jessey sa pagkakahawak kay Mika. Mabilis naman itong tumakbo

===

Carol found her in an open field.

Carol: hey, get in

Mika: oh look, a fancy car. Oh, nope. Not gonna jump in there. Nice try seducing me with that convertible tho. *fake a smile and waves goodbye*

Carol: sasakay ka o kakaladkarin kita papasok dito?

Tinalikuran lang siya ni Mika and watch as the sun rises.

Carol: sasagasahan kita

Mika: yes please (begins to cry) don't you know you're doing me a favour if you do that (smiling and crying and sobbing at the same time)

Nilapitan sya ni Carol, she didn't look at her, she just held Mika's hand.

Carol: do you know why the sun sets?

(Mika sobbing, holds on Carol's hand tighter)

Carol: so it can begin again (looks at Mika with a sincere smile)

Mika: what if it's the other way around? It rises for it to end?

Carol: haha shit nega ka talga

Mika: bakit? May point naman ako di ba? Bat pa magsisimula kung matatapos din lang naman?

Carol: Because...because that's life.

Mika: tss

Carol:

Mika: super mukha ba kong pathetic that you let me hold your hand? (nakangiti habang may namumuo pa ding luha sa mga mata nya)

Carol: big YES ma'am. Pathetic. Mess. (habang umiiling iling)

Mika: oh. I think I should stay like this na lang para di ka na "no touch" :)

Carol: hold my hand, hug me all you want but don't stay like this

Mika: *smiles*

Carol: mukha ka kasing mabaho pag ganyan ka :P

Mika: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhrrrggh

===

Ilang araw ang lumipas after nung gabing yun. Dun na lang muna sila nag-i-stay sa house ni Carol. They know Mika, ayaw nya na tinitreat syang fragile or something so they acted as normal as they could. But of course, when you say act normal that's when you start acting really weird.

"Mika: Cams paabot ng rice :)

Camille: (di narinig)

Cienne: CAMS yung rice daw abot mo kay Mika

Camille: hala sorry Miks. (tumayo at nilagyan ng rice plate ni Mika)

Mika: a..ako na :)"

"Cienne: manood tayo ng 500 Days of Summer :)

Mika: ang lungkot nun pero magan...

Vic: yung Up na lang di ko pa napanood yun

Cienne: oo nga,favorite namin ni Cams yun, di ba?

Camille: oo nakakatuwa kaya yun

Mika: p-pero maganda gusto ko yung 500 Days -_-"

"Mika: (di makatulog at parang malalim ang iniisip)

Carol: (nagrereview ng makita si Mika na gising pa) Di ka ba makatulog kasi nakasindi pa yung ilaw?

Mika: hindi, iniisi...
