Love Takes Time: A Miefer Love Story

Torn: Part II

Your first love isn't always the first person you kiss, or the first person you date. Your first love is the person you will always compare everyone to. The person that you will never truly get over.

Mika's POV

Paggising ko, I immediately checked my watch dahil andilim na sa labas only to be shocked dahil 6:45 na pala.

I looked around and saw Kiefer was sleeping sa kabilang sofa.

I did not bother waking him up since mejo mukhang mahimbing ang tulog niya and he does need to rest in preparation for tomorrow's game.

So umakyat ako sa kwarto niya to get a paper.

I left a short note sa may coffee table:

Sorry babe, did not bother waking you up na. Looks like you needed the rest eh. Will call once nakauwi na ko. Love,

Mika

And then I left another one on his bedside table:

Good luck tomorrow. I know you'd do great, as always. :P

I may wear white but know I'll be cheering for you. I love you.

❤,

Your MR3

P.S. I borrowed the Superman snapback from Thirds. May blue na yun ha! :D

July 18, 2014

As soon as my last class of the day finished, I hightailed it out of Taft and drove to Kiefer's as fast as I can.

Since noone was expecting me, I had to go through the hassle of ringing the doorbell, for I think the first time since I've been going here, bago makapasok...

Sinalubong ako ni Manang na halatang gulat na makita ako.

"Hello po Manang! Si Kiefer po nakauwi na ba?"

"Ay kanina pa, pero dumeretso sa kwarto eh..."

"Sige po akyatin ko po siya... Alam niyo po ba kung nakakain na siya or nakainom na ng gamot?"

"Hindi eh, kasi hindi pa lumalabas mula ng pagkadating.."

"Uhm, manang, pwede pong favor, pwede pong paluto ng sopas, just in case wala pang lamang tiyan niya, para mapainom ko po ng gamot?"

"Ay sige, hija. Akyat ko na lang."

"Thank you po talaga!"

I then ran to his room and quietly opened the door. His eyes were closed, he was in a foetal position with his blankets strewn around him.

I knelt beside him to feel his forehead when suddenly his eyes opened.

"Mika..."

"Ssshhhh..."

"Mejo mainit ka pa... Have you taken any medicine?"

Kiefer: Oo.

Me: How long ago?

Kiefer: Kaninang 11.

Me: Sige, so you're due for another one. Nagpaluto muna ko kay manang ng sopas para madali kainin, then afterwards, I brought medicine para sa lagnat mo. For now, punasan muna kita, saglit lang ha..."

He snagged my shirt with his fingers stopping me from getting up.

Kiefer: Thanks for coming here, sorry...
