Kanina pa napansin ni Mikay ang biglaang pag-alis ni Gino sa party. Hindi niya ito nakitang nagpaalam kahit kanino man. It’s not that she cares or anything. It’s just that she noticed it. But she has to admit that she feels something different the moment she saw him a while ago. Higit itong gumwapo sa kanyang paningin. At lalong lumakas ang appeal dahil siguro sa mas nag-mature na ang personalidad nito. Pero maliban doon ay nakikita pa rin niya ‘yung Gino na dati niyang minahal…
When they had a brief conversation, it felt a bit awkward. That was the first time na nagtama muli ang kanilang mga mata. And she has to admit na iba pa rin ang epekto ng mga tingin nito sa kanya. He’s the only person that can do that to her…. Ipinilig niya ang ulo at pilit inaalis ito sa isipin niya… Maybe, she needs some air…
Iniwan niya ang bulwagan at pumunta siya sa bandang pool area. Napansin niya kasing walang katao-tao doon. That’s what she needs right now… some space…Huminga siya ng malalim… She closed her eyes and tried to clear her thoughts from everything…
Maya-maya lang ay napansin niyang hindi na siya nag-iisa sa area. May tumabi sa kanya malapit sa kinatatayuan niya....
Zharm: It’s funny to even think na makakabalik ka pa pala sa sirkulasyon after what your dad has done… When you failed with Gino… Ginamit mo pa rin ang itsura mo para pagkakwartahan… I should have known better… Halata namang may pinagmanahan ka…
Hindi niya ito nilingon. Pero napairap siya sa sinabi nito.
Mikay: So what? Why are you so bitter? Eh ano naman sa ‘yo kung ginamit ko lang si Gino? Eh ano naman kung nag-artista ako? As far as I know, people like you don’t stoop down on my level… Well, unless, they feel threatened…
Narinig niya ang sarkastiko nitong tawa.
Zharm: Threatened? I’m threatened? Y-You must be joking… Sa anong paraan, Mikaela?
Tumingin siya dito.
Mikay: Hindi ko alam… Why don’t you ask that yourself? Look at you, Zharm… Kitang-kita na ang takot sa mga mata mo…
Kalmado lang siyang nagsasalita. And she can see Zharm losing her cool…
Zharm: I don’t know what you’re trying to say… And I don’t know what your plans are… But I want you to stay away from him! ‘Wag na ‘wag mo na siya ulit lalapitan pa! Sa ‘kin lang siya, Mikaela!
Mikay: Okay!… Sayong-sayo na siya, Zharm! I’m not trying to get him away from you… That is, if there’s really something going on between the two of you… which I highly doubt…
Nakita niyang natitigilan ito sa sinabi niya…
Zharm: Naniniwala akong hindi na rin magtatagal ay mare-realize na niyang ako talaga ang karapat-dapat para sa kanya… ‘Coz I’ve always been there for him…
Napabuntung-hininga siya sa narinig.
Mikay: You know, Zharm… It’s been two years… And still you keep on saying that… Hanggang kelan, Zharm? Hanggang kelan ka magtitiis?
Zharm: How dare you say that! Gino loves me! And…
Agad siyang sumabat dito.
Mikay: Really? He loves you? But I don’t seem to see that… No one does… Zharm, hindi lang nag-iisa ang Mikaela sa mundo… Sooner or later, may isang kagaya ko na hahawak ulit sa puso niya… At pag nangyari ‘yun, matakot ka na… dahil baka hindi na siya pakawalan pa…
