"Kief I Love You"
After Mika said that to Kiefer, she just smiled to him like a little naughty girl who did something wrong once again. She was waiting for his reaction. She even bit her lower lip as if trying to teased Kiefer.
But Kiefer was just literally staring at her, his lips are partly opened and cheeks are blushing. He can't still believed what's happening to them now. And Mika just kissed him!
Spell Nga-nga! Pak! Yun si Manong ngayon. Di nya kasi alam, it was planned by Mika. Supposed to be the plan was to ignore Kiefer but at the last moment naisip ni Mika na kukulitin lang sya ni Manong if di nya papansinin. Mas maganda siguro ung kunwari si Thirdy si Kiefer at si Kiefer si Thirdy para walang palag si Kiefer sakanya. Paano kasi nagtampo si Mika ng pagising nya wala si Kief sa tabi nya. For her, Kiefer broke his promised to stay with her. Nahurt sya kasi never pa ginawa ni Kiefer na iwan sya lalo kapag nagpromise eto sakanya, he make it sure na tuparin un.
"Kief? Bae you ok?" She asked him. Then Mika touched his cheek.
Kiefer was still looking at her. He can't still figured out what to say or what to do. He felt so confused. Halos one whole day din na nagworry sya kay Mika about her new condition. Then now bigla bumalik ung memory nito and recognized na sya. He doesn't know if he will be happy or scared or worried again. Feeling nya baka there sonething wrong na naman kay Mika.
"Ahmm..Mika how are you na? May masakit ba? I'll call your doctor to check you again" He asked her looking so confused and stuttering.
"Kief why you just called me by my name? Isn't 'Babe'?" She asked but she felt guilty this time. Nakita nya kasi sa face ni Manong ung worried at parang natatakot na naman. Eto din ung itsura ni Manong bago sya operahan.
"Ah..eh..yeah Babe..right Babe." He answered but still looking so confused.
"Kief sorry. I planned it." She said then bowed down her head.
When Kiefer heard that, mas lalo sya naguluhan. Nagtaka sya bakit magsosorry si Mika sakanya.
"Ahmm Babe rest ka na. You need to rest more. I'll just call your doctor to come here to check you " He said trying to eased the confusing situation between them.
"I said sorry. Sorry Kief. Wala naman ako sakit na. I'm ok na though not really strong pa but I'm good. Naalala kita. Never I will forget you. It's just that nagtampo ako nung pag gising ko wala ka sa tabi ko kya I want to ignored you." She said then cried.
Kiefer was shocked. Di nya ineexpect ung sinabi na un ni Mika. All of them are really worried about her new condition, especially sya, na halos gusto na magwala nung gawin ni Mika na si Thirdy sya tapos ngayon joke lang pala ni Mika un. Dahil dun nag iba ung mood ni Manong.
"Babe seriously? Ganun ba ko kasama para maging ganun ung ganti mo?" He asked. He doesn't know what's got into his mind why he asked her like that. Ang alam nya ngayon di sya natutuwa sa ginawa ni Mika sakanya.
"Bae I'm so sorry." She apologized still crying.
"Grabe naman Miks. You have no idea what I've been through nung mga oras na halos feeling ko mawawala ka na sakin pati si Twokie. Sorry kung pag gising mo wala ako sa tabi mo. Sorry if I broke my promise to you. I have some important issues to deal with pero di ibig sabihin wala kayo halaga sakin. Damn!" He explained out of his frustration. Alam nya medyo tumaas na ung boses nya. Si Mika lalo naman umiyak.
"Shhhh Babe don't cry. Baka mapano ung sugat at tahi mo." He said then hugged her.
"I'm sorry..sorry..I'm sorry. Don't get mad at me na please" She apologized between her sobbed.
"Shhh stop it. Stop crying. You should rest na." He said trying to calm her down.
Mika was hugging him so tight. She doesn't want to released Kiefer in her arms.
"Babe I want you to rest na. Tomorrow were going to talk again regarding this. I'm just here ok" He said then pulled away from her embrace. Then tucked her to bed.
Si Mika sumunod na lang kahit ayaw nya pa sana matulog. The truth alam nyang galit si Kiefer. Lalo sya naiyak nung lumabas si Kief ng room nya.
Bakit ba kasi ang arte arte mo Mika Aereen? Masyado kang selfish. Then she hissed after that thoughts in her mind.
When Mika was already asleep Kiefer went near her bed. He was staring at her. Naguilty sya bakit nagalit sya dito kanina. Pero aminado din naman kasi sya na di talaga sya natuwa sa ginawa nito. Never nya naisip na magiging ganun ka bully eto sakanya na masasaktan talaga sya ni Mika. Pero naisip din nya siguro kya ginawa un ni Mika dahil din sa operation na pinagdaanan nito. Siguro takot pa din si Mika kya sya ang una hinanap pagising dahil sya nga naman ung lage protective shield nito.
The next day Mika woke up really early. She wants to talk to Kiefer again but she felt sad when her mom told her that Kiefer went to his condo and just gonna be back before lunch time. Her mom somehow noticed it so Tita Bhaby told Mika that she will accompany her to visit Twokie to cheered her up.
Little that she knows her family and her doctors knew about what happened to her. Kiefer told everything to them. Alam din ni Tita Bhaby na medyo masama ang loob ni Kiefer kay Mika. Kasi naman sa nangyari sa kanila nakuha pa magbiro ng ganun ni Mika. Sila Tita Mozzy naman naintindihan si Mika. Tinawanan pa nga si Kiefer.
Before lunch time Kiefer, Pauly and Thirdy went to visit Mika and Twokie. Kiefer even bought a lunch and a bouquet of green and blue roses for Mika. Di nya din alam pero pagising nya parang nawala na lang bigla ung tampo nya kay Mika. Pero gusto nya bumawi sa ginawa nito sakanya kya sa isip nya humanda lang si Mika kapag nakalabas na ng hospital.
When they came inside in Mika's room, she was already having some lunch, pinapakain na sya ni Tita Bhaby. When Mika saw him, nakasmile eto sakanya, gusto sana mag inarte ni Manong pero humirit si Thirdy ng bati kay Mika.
"Hi Babe. How are you?" That was Thirdy. Di nya pa kasi alam na normal na ung memory ni Mika. Wala din sinabi si Manong sakanya.
After Mika heard that from Thirdy, tumawa na lang si Mika pati si Pauly at Tita Bhaby. Si Thirdy nakatanga. Di nya alam kung anu nangyayari.
"Thirds sorry bumalik na memory ng BABE ko, ikaw na ulit si Thirdy di na si Kiefer." Kiefer said then went near to Mika's side to kiss her forehead.
After that Kiefer explained it to Thirdy what really happened.
"Wow! Galing galing. Bullyeye mode lang?" Thirdy asked annoyingly.
"Sorry Thirds. Hug na lang kita ulit please!" She apologized then opened her arms for Thirdy.
Thirdy just scratched the back of his head while shaking it.
"Sayang ba Thirds. Yun na eh noh? Chance na kay crush nawala pa tsk tsk!" That was Pauly, na inasar pa lalo si Thirdy.
All of them just laughed at the Thirdy. Nakahinga din ng maluwag si Mika, akala nya kasi magagalit din si Thirdy. Buti na lang di eto pikon. Pero si Manong napansin ni Mika na seryoso pa din at di sya gaano pinapansin kahit kiniss na sya sa noo at binigyan ng flowers. She knew Kiefer was still mad at her, that's why his like that.
Before the day ends, Mika's doctor went to her room and informed her that she can go home after 2 days. After all, her lab tests and vital signs are normal now. Then the doctor just told her about her wound and gave her instructions on how to take care of it. But sadly, Twokie will gonna stay at the hospital for another one week. They still need to observed him.
Nung narinig ni Mika yun, naiyak na naman sya kasi di nya pa pala pwede iuwi si Twokie. Excited pa naman sya umuwi dahil nasabi ng mommy nya na pinaayos ng daddy nya ung room nya sa bahay nila sa Bulacan for Twokie.
Right after her doctor left, naiwan sila ni Kiefer sa room. Umuwi na din kasi si Pauly at Thirdy, si Tita Bhaby naman sumama muna kay Tita Mozzy to have some coffee and snack.
Spell awkward. Yun sila dahil di sya kinikibo ni Manong. Nagkakatinginan lang sila tapos sabay na mag iiwasan ulit. Naiiyak na lang si Mika pero kasalanan nya naman talaga.
After a while, a nurse came to her room with baby Twokie. The nurse told Mika to breast feed baby Twokie. First time ni Mika makakarga si Twokie at ipapabreast feed. Si Manong napatingin na lang sa nurse nung sinabi babalikan si Twokie after 30min.
So yun nga naiwan sila. Mika is now carrying Twokie in her arms. Si Kiefer nakatingin sa mag ina nya.
"Ahmmm Bae can you please turn your back po. I'm going to feed Twokie na kasi eh." She said avoiding his gaze.
"Ah..hmm..sorry Babe. Sure talikod na ko." He answered then turned his back.
While Mika was breastfeeding Twokie, she just stared at her baby. She felt so amazed having Twokie in her arms now. For her, Twokie is her new found happiness. Si Manong naman pasilip silip sa mag ina nya. Also him felt so happy to watched his two favorite persons in the world now that really doing fine and getting better.
******************************
After two more days Mika was finally discharged into the hospital. Buong Reyes at Buong Ravena ata sinundo sya pati mga friends nila. At first she doesn't like to go home yet coz of Twokie but Kiefer told and promised her that everyday they will going to visit their baby. So yun nga pumayag na si Mika umuwi. Di nya alam na may nakaready na welcome party para sakanya sa bahay ng mga Ravena.
All of their friends are there also to joined them. They were all happy to see her again, especially dahil nasurvived nya ung critical stage sa life nya. Si Mika happy man sya for that party kaso ung isip nya naalala si Twokie and si Kiefer. She's still worried coz Kiefer was still giving her a cold shoulder. She knew he was still mad at her. Sobra nya ata napikon si Kiefer sa ginawa nya.
Before it gets dark all their friends went home, nagulat na lang si Mika ng nagpaalam din ung parents nya sakanya. Gusto nya sana sumama umuwi sa Bulacan pero pinigilan na sya nila Tita Mozzy at sinabing makakasama sakanya yung magpagod sa byahe. Wala nagawa si Mika kundi sumunod na lang. Ayaw nya talaga sana magpaiwan dahil si Kiefer nga galit pa sakanya.
Pero mas lalo nagulat si Mika ng magpaalam si Kiefer sa parents nya na iuuwi nya si Mika sa condo nya. Kiefer even told his parents na mas ok sa condo nya kasi wala maingay at makakapagrelax si Mika. So yun nga wala nagawa ung parents ni Manong kundi pumayag din.
On their way to Kiefer's condo, both of them are quiet. Wala gusto magsalita. Si Mika natitense na lang kya sinimulan gawing snack ung kuko nya. While Kiefer, his eyes are focused on the road.
Less than 30min eh asa condo na sila ni Kiefer. Si Mika mas lalo natensed. Feeling nya baka dito na sya awayin ng bongga ni Manong lalo di pa sila nakapag usap ulit at sure sya na di pa inaaccept ni Manong ung sorry nya.
So yun nga, right after pag open ng door ni Manong, he pulled Mika inside his condo then pushed her against the wall then kissed her passionately. Then right after that kissed bumanat din si Manong ng
"Miks I love You." Then kissed her again.
