Love Takes Time: A Miefer Love Story

Tick-Tock

Mika's POV

We've spent almost every single day together. And although ina-alaska ko siya, I truly will miss my Ateneo phenom.

My cyberlife has never been the same again post-Nuvali. After Kief posted 3 very telling photos of us together, people has speculated, has asked directly, and sometimes even bashed.

I never responded to any and I mean any of my twitter or IG hate comments; only Kiefer did that one time after this know-it-all girl said how she was all disappointed in Kiefer for entering a relationship shortly after he's been single.

I was just about to text him na i-block na lang yung girl, pero bigla ko na lang narinig yung IG notif ring alert ko and nakita ko yung reply niya sa girl... What stood out in my mind was this:

Well Mika and I know what we're doing. And I'll protect her from people like you...

Ayaw ko na kasi magkamali para kay mika eh. :-)

I was truly touched by his words but at the same time, this leaves us nowhere to hide. If people could only speculate before about the real score between us, after this there won't be anymore doubts.

Was I ready to be with him? Absolutely. Was I ready to share it to the whole world? Yeah. But was I ready to let what we have between us be a fodder for gossip, hell no!

And you can bet it would, knowing how our culture works?

So yeah, as much as I'd like to be totally honest and open about what we have, there will always be reason not to.

However, that doesn't stop me from appreciating every little gesture he does for me.

Flashback

Grabe nakakapagod tong linggong to, I feel like I should be used to it by now, pero these days seem extra exhausting... I might not want to say it out loud, but in my head, there's like a ticking time clock counting down how much more time I have with Kiefer. I'm not just physically exhausted, I'm also mentally exhausted...

Hayyy... After congratulating Wafs and Daks on bagging the beach volley championship, I continued to sleep in Kimmy's bed... I miss them already... And sabi ni Kim, magpakwento daw ako kay Ara... Hmmm, napaisip ako for awhile, I don't know kung napapadalas lang talaga lakad namin ni Kief kaya mejo nahuhuli na ko sa balita kay Daks, pero babawi na lang ako once he flies to Vegas... I just wanna cherish every moment I have left with him...

May 4, 2014

Both of us were busy until noon - me with our Meet and Greet and him with Fastbreak. Sabi ko nga pahinga na lang muna siya, and tom na lang kami magkita, pero ayaw paawat.

I know I'd still survive without him for the next month, pero masyado kasi niya akong sinanay, na isang tawag lang and meetup na kami kaagad...

And even if I can survive being w/o him, why would I want to? I admit, he's become that special to me..

Tomorrow's problems Mika, concentrate on the now...

I was still thinking about him and Vegas and all my other worries when he opened the car door for me...

He asked me something, but I didn't catch it.

Mika: Sorry, paulit, ano yun?

Kiefer: Ok ka lang ba? May sakit ka ba? *pinakiramdaman noo at leeg ko*

Mika: Yeah, I'm fine... Pagod/Inaantok/Gutom lang... Init dun kasi sa gym eh... Musta nga pala yung Fastbreak Clinic niyo kanina?

Kiefer: Naku, tsaka ko na ikkwento... Take a nap first, gisingin kita pag anjan na tayo. Hopefully bumalik ng kaunti sigla mo...
