Microlensing events happen when one star passes in front of another, and BOTH have to be quite distant - perhaps in another galaxy. Unless you're looking at a regular orbit, it's a chance one-off thing that will never recur, so this object is lost to us and we would never have a telescope big enough to see it, anyway.
