A's Lullaby

How We Met (part 3)

"Uy wag ka na mainis sakanila di naman nila sinasadyang itokis ka." Gwen was stifling a laugh while they were in a gazebo having their break.

"Mas nainis ako sa tinawag akong stalker." Mikha said, irritated.

Gwen raised both her eyebrows, "Pano mo nalaman?"

Mikha glared at her, "Duh? Kinwento mo kahapon?"

"Ay! Oonga pala," she laughed and nodded in realization. "Kinwento ko nga pala. Natawa ako dun sa pinagkamalan kang stalker pero nakakalungkot din na may stalker si ate Aiah noh? Sobrang ganda kasi."

"Anong stalker ba, sinusundan siya ganon? Bat di niya isumbong?"

"Ewan," Gwen shrugged. "Siguro, pero usually online online lang din nag sstalk ganon. Okaya parang kagaya mo." Her friend laughed again.

"Excuse me? Baka ikaw! Ikaw nag bigay ng number sakin, bat alam mo number niya?"

"Binigay lang sakin ni Jhoanna yon!"

"Oh, kaya siya nagkakaroon ng stalker ang dali naman pala ipagpasahan ng number niya." Mikha rolled her eyes.

"Sungit mo naman. Try mo naman makipag friends sa iba nagsasawa na ako sayo eh."

Mikha shook her head and ignored the girl. She raised her legs on the bench and acted like she was going to sleep.

"Hoy! Matutulog ka nanaman? Mag tatime na."

She completely ignored Gwen as she closed her eyes.

Minutes passed and it was quiet. Mikha fell asleep for a few minutes before opening her eyes again seeing no Gwen in sight.

What the? Iniwan ako? She sat up immediately and looked at the time on her phone. Mikha was late for the next class.

"Di man lang ako ginising!" Mikha grumbled under her breath and stood up.

"Sorry." 

She suddenly heard making her jump. "Ay kabayo!"

When Mikha turned to see who it was, she was surprised. The newcomer was giggling and then smiling at her.

"Di kita ginising mukha kasing nageenjoy ka pa sa sleep mo."

For sure she could feel her face heating up. "Kelan ka pa nandito? Ate Aiah?"

"Kanina lang nung paalis na si Gwenny."

"Gwenny?" Mikha frowned. Close na sila?

Aiah nodded. "Uhuh, nakita ko kayo dito sa gazebo kaya lumapit ako. Tas natutulog ka pala eh kaso late na daw si Gwen kaya sabi niya gisingin kita."

"Huh." 

This is embarrassing. She quietly grabbed her bag.

"Do you like tusok tusok? Nag crecrave ako eh, want to come with?" Aiah offered her like they don't have midday classes right now.

"Uhmm, may klase pa...."

"So?" 

Mikha frowned. "B.I. ka pala?"

Aiah was shocked for a moment and then laughed. "Maybe! Tara na, let's cut!" 

The girl smiled at her with her eyes. Nawawala mata niya pag nakangiti.

"Dali na, just a way for saying sorry for standing you up the other day. Really sorry about that."

"Hmmm," Mikha hummed in thought.

Fine, tinatamad na din naman ako pumasok.

"Sige na nga, pero pano makakalabas?"

Aiah smirked at her and winked. "Ako bahala."
