Colet's Pov
Pumasok ako sa room ni aiah.
"Jhoanna robles ang tagal mo naman." I said.
Naka-tingin lang sila aiah kay jho.
"Shee, staku paki-alalayan si aiah." I said.
Nauna ako lumabas ng room kasama si jho. Hinintay namin lumabas sila aiah.
"Colet saan tayo pupunta? Si mikha nasaan? Hindi sinasagot ni jho tanong ko." Aiah said.
"Wala sinabi si jho sa inyo?" I asked.
"Wala. Name lang ni mikha binabanggit niya." Gwen said.
Kinurot ko balikat ni jho.
"Aiah pupuntahan natin si mikha." I said.
Pumasok kami sa isang private room. Pagkabukas ng door, si maloi bumungad samin.
"Tagal niyo." Maloi said.
"Si jho hindi agad sinabi utos mo." I said.
"Ikaw talaga robles." Maloi said.
"Sorry na captain." Jho said.
"Aiah si mikha tulog, kakagaling sa surgery." Maloi said.
Inexplain ni maloi ang nangyare habang nakaupo si aiah sa side ng hospital bed na nakahiga si mikha. Yung iba nakikinig habang nakatayo.
FLASHBACK
"Make another move then it's her heart this time." Gelo said.
"Damn you gelo." I said.
"Your friend deserved the pain." Gelo said.
I have to do something, kita ko gaano nasasaktan si mikha. I see in jeremy's eyes that he's going to do something again.
"I told you i'm winning this game. No more moves for all of you." Gelo said.
"You're wrong. Checkmate gelo." I said.
Jho shot the one guy near gelo. Jeremy tried to take the remote detonator from gelo, he succeeded but gelo was about to shoot mikha, he went in front of her. I was about shoot gelo but he shot jeremy first near the heart. I shot at gelo. Both of them fell to the ground.
"Jeremy no no no please." Mikha said.
Nilapitan namin si mikha na nakalapit na kay jeremy kahit masakit ang balikat niya.
"Bro don't close your eyes please." Mikha said.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Matigas talaga ulo ng kaibigan niyo. Ako naman ito pinag-alala niya ngayon." Aiah said.
"Ehem same lang kayo pinsan." Jho said.
"Eh kung sinabi mo agad ang nangyare imbes name niya lang banggitin mo." Aiah said.
Kinurot ni stacey si jhoanna.
"Ikaw naman kasi alam mo na nag-aalala pinsan mo kay mikha." Stacey said.
"Nag-alala din kaya ako kay mikha, muntik na siya mawala satin." Jho said.
"Pasalamat tayo kay." I said.
"Kanino?" Aiah asked.
"Kay God." Maloi said.
Kinurot ni maloi balikat ko. Si jeremy nasa ER pa din. Hindi namin alam ni maloi paano sasabihin kila aiah. Bigla bumukas ang door.
"Maloi wala na si jeremy." Enzo said.
Wrong timing pag pasok mo kuya enzo. Nag-stop siya ng makita na hindi lang pala si maloi ang nasa room. Wala maka-imik kay maloi at kuya gelo.
"Gelo was about to shoot mikha but jeremy went in front of her." I said.
I looked at everyone's faces. Halata na gulat sila.
"I should have shoot faster than gelo." I said.
"It's not your fault colet." Enzo said.
"Jeremy would still be alive if only i could have been really faster." I said.
"I'm sure he is happy that he saved mikha." Enzo said.
Maloi holds my hand.
"Wag mo sisihin sarili mo, you did try your best to save both of them." Maloi said.
"Labas na muna ako, papunta na din sila dad. Tawagan niyo ako pag gising na si mikha." Enzo said.
Palabas na ng door si kuya enzo pero tumigil siya.
"Aiah be there at mikha's side. She's gonna be emotional pag nalaman niya wala na si jeremy." Enzo said.
"Yes po kuya." Aiah said.
Umalis na si kuya enzo. Dinistract ni jho ang mga girls habang ako tahimik pa din nakatayo sa gilid ng bintana. How will i tell mikha?
"Uyab." Maloi said.
"Sorry uyab, i'm not strong this time." I said.
"This time, i'll give you strength. Not as a captain of the team but as your girlfriend." Maloi said.
"Baka magalit sakin si mikha sa pagkamatay ni jeremy." I said.
"Kilala mo si mikha, hindi niya kaya magalit sayo." Maloi said.
Maloi pinched my cheeks.
"Smile for me please. Mikha needs you, her bestfriend." Maloi said.
"Thank you uyab." I said.
I hugged my uyab, maloi is the only exception in my life. After the hug, umuwi muna kami ni jho para makapagpalit habang sila gwen muna ang nagbantay kay mikha.
Pabalik na sana ako sa hospital pero tumawag si aki para makipagkita. Sa coffee shop malapit sa hospital kami nagkita.
"Gwen already told me the situation. Just be there at mikha's side." Aki said.
"We really know mikha well." I said.
"She's the one and only mikhaela janna lim. Her strength is different from all of us.'" Aki said.
"Ano pala ibibigay mo sana kay mikha?" I asked.
"She forgot this at her hotel room." Aki said.
Aki gave me a small box.
"Is this what i think it is?" I asked.
"Yes, we helped mikha choose in japan. She said that she's never gonna lose the chance fate has given her." Aki said.
"I'll give it to her when she wakes up. Our friend is always full of surprises." I said.
Aki left while i went to the hospital. Nakita ko biological dad ni mikha nakaupo sa bench sa tapat ng room ni mikha.
"Tito jack." I said.
"Colet thank you for saving mikha." Tito Jack said.
"But i didn't save jeremy." I said.
"Don't blame yourself. Jeremy already talked to me before he left with mikha. He wants to help mikha fight for her happiness." Tito jack said.
Tito jack pats my shoulder then he left while i went inside mikha's room.
"Tagal mo naman nagpalit nicolette." Mikha said.
Gising na si mikha, niyakap ko agad siya pero bumitaw din ako.
"Dahan-dahan balikat ko." Mikha said.
"Girls pwede ibalik niyo muna si aiah sa room niya, kami na bahala ni gwen kay mikha." I said.
"Colet babantayan ko pa si mikha." Aiah said.
"Isa ka din patient aiah at nanghihina ka pa din." I said.
Aangal pa sana si aiah pero pinilit siya ni mikha. Lumabas na mga girls, ang naiwan nalang sa room ay kami papi line. Tinaasan ko agad ng kilay si mikha.
"Teka teka colet your kilay is scaring me." Mikha said.
"Conyo talaga mikhs." Gwen said.
"Hinintay niyo sana kami ni jeremy." I said.
"Umatake instinct ko, si jeremy kamusta na?" Mikha asked.
Bigla nag-iba mood ng paligid. Wala nakasagot agad samin. Tumingin sakin si gwen at jho.
"He's gone mikhs." I said.
"What do you mean gone?" Mikha asked.
"He's permanently gone. Kuya enzo came here earlier and he told us jeremy is dead." I said.
Unti-unti napaluha si mikha, hinawakan ko agad kamay niya.
"Magbobonding pa kami eh magdidinner kami sa lim mansion with our siblings." Mikha said.
"Mikhs." I said.
"We should have waited for you to come. Buhay pa sana siya kung hindi ako nakinig sa instinct ko." Mikha said.
"Don't blame yourself mikhs. Kuya enzo said he's sure that jeremy is happy he saved you." Jho said.
"Nandito lang kami para sayo. Lalo na si happiness mo, si aiah." Gwen said.
One by one we hugged mikha. She acts strong but she's still a crybaby.
"Speaking of happiness. Someone told me to give you this, nakalimutan mo daw sa japan." I said.
I gave mikha the small box.
"Teka that box." Jho said.
"Mikhs wow." Gwen said.
Mikha's Pov
"Babi sabihan mo lang ako pag gutom kana, i-ready ko dinala ni mommy michelle." Aiah said.
Na-discharge na si aiah kaya nandito siya sa room ko. Dapat umuwi muna sana siya pero pinilit niya na bantayan ako. Hindi rin naman ako maka-tanggi lalo miss na miss ko na siya. Minsan bumibisita din sila mama. Pati si dad at stepmom ko kasama si patrick at kuya enzo.
Minsan din nagiging emotional ako pag naalala ko si jeremy pero nandyan lang sila aiah sa tabi ko nag-cocomfort sakin.
"You're smiling." Aiah said.
"I'm just happy you're here by my side." I said.
"I'll always be here for you." Aiah said.
"Kami din po nandito." Sheena said.
"Kinakagat ata kami ng langgam." Jho said.
"Staku, gwen paki-kurot mga gf niyo." I said.
"Manliligaw ang right term ng sakin." Stacey said.
"Nabaril na ako hindi ka pa pala sinasagot jho." I said.
"Baka gusto mo mag-salita din ako mikhs." Jho said.
"Subukan mo at babangon talaga ako dito." I said.
"Kaya mo ba?" Jho asked.
Nang-aasar tingin ni jho.
"Hephep tumigil nga kayong dalawa, especially you mikha lim." Aiah said.
Tinaasan ako ng kilay ni aiah. Tumahimik na ako kaagad. Wag ko pala sirain mood niya at baka malagot ako mamaya.
"Nabalitaan ko na may meteor shower daw ngayong gabi." Gwen said.
"Sure ba bebe?" Sheena asked.
"Oo tara mamaya sa rooftop. Pwede naman siguro dun si mikhs." Gwen said.
"Ipaalam niyo muna ako kay aiah." I said.
Tumingin sila kay aiah, mga kikay line nagpapa-cute kay aiah.
"Payag na ako, ganyan ba naman tingin niyo sakin shee." Aiah said.
Excited ang kikay line. First part ng plan success. Gets niyo na siguro ang plan, i'm gonna propose to aiah tonight. Actually mas gusto ko sana after i get discharge na mag-propose ako but i have this feeling that i should do it now. Papi line lang ang may alam ng plan.
Umalis muna ang papi line, bibili daw sila ng snacks pero ang totoo mag seset-up sila sa rooftop bago bibili. Tatakpan nila para hindi mahalata habang nanunuod kami ng meteor shower.
"Stacey how is the restaurant?" I asked.
"It's doing great mikhs. Waiting daw mga customers sa pag balik mo." Stacey said.
"Work agad iniisip mo mikha lim." Aiah said.
"Curious lang po babi kamusta habang wala ako." I said.
"How about you two go on a vacation date? Just the two of you." Maloi said.
"Pwede naman, the restaurant can go on without me since nandyan si stacey maging head chef." I said.
"Oo na ako bahala." Stacey said.
"Ikaw aiah?" Maloi asked.
"Game ako, need ko din ng vacation at babawi pa ng date si mikha lim." Aiah said.
"Ayun pala eh need bumawi ang mikha lim." Sheena said.
"Na-cocorner pala ako sa inyo pag wala mga lovers niyo." I said.
"Fyi hindi ko pa sinasagot si jhoanna robles." Stacey said.
"Hindi pa, meaning may possibility na sasagutin mo siya." Aiah said.
"Actually may balak na ako sagutin siya ngayong gabi habang nanunuod tayo ng meter shower." Stacey said.
Wow masusurprise pala ang magpinsan. Keep quiet muna ako kay jho kahit bestfriend ko yun. After one hour bumalik na sila colet. Alam ko sa pag smile nila sakin na ready na set-up.
"Uso ba inyo mag-bestfriends ang pagiging matagal pag inuutusan?" Maloi asked.
"Depende uyab." Colet said.
"Halata sa convenience store kayo bumili pero parang every type of foods ata binili niyo." Aiah said.
"Card naman ni mikhs gamit namin." Jho said.
Binaba na nila sa table mga supot na puro snacks ang laman.
"Picnic under the night sky naman ata ang balak niyo at hindi lang meteor shower viewing." Sheena said.
"Pwede na din bebe. Sayang naman kung viewing lang gagawin natin." Gwen said.
"Mga galawan niyo apat eh feel ko si jho ang pasimuno." Aiah said.
"Ah eh syempre pinsan para dagdag sa memories natin walo." Jho said.
Mabuti mabilis utak ni jho mag-isip ng palusot. Naghintay muna kami mag-midnight kaya nanuod saglit ng harry potter movies bago kami pumunta sa rooftop. Nag-set up ang mga kikay line kasama si colet ng two blankets na medyo malalaki at pillows habang inaalalayan ako ni gwen at jho. Binulong nila sakin na nakatakip malapit samin yung sign na will you marry me.
"Gwen, jho pwede na umupo si mikha." Aiah said.
Dahan-dahan nila ako pinaupo sa blanket. Ang seating arrangement namin ay ako, aiah, gwen sheena, colet, maloi, jho at stacey.
Papaunahin ko muna pa-surprise ni stacey pag sagot niya kay jho bago yung plan ko. Halo-halo nararamdaman ko, excited na kinakabahan basta pinipigilan ko hindi mapakali lalo na iba pa naman sensing skills ng girlfriend ko. Kaya mo yan mikhaela janna lim.
