Silence...
All eyes were on her...
Anticipation in his eyes...
Everyone is yearning for her answer...
"I..."
Lub...dub...lub...dub...
"Yes!" Clap errupted in the arena. Screaming fans shouting their love for the couple.
"I love you, I love you, I love you" Kief whispered to his fiancee.
"I love you too, babe"
Kiefer then pulled Mika into a passionate kiss not minding the stares and the camera's flashing in front of them.
"Congratulations to our newly engaged couple, Mr. Kiefer Ravena and Ms. Mika Reyes!" Said the announcer.
"Let's give them a warm of applause, everyone!" Kiefer then kissed the side of the head of Mika that earned a lot of squeal from their respective fans.
"So, let's hear it from Mr. Ravena himself."
"Good evening po sa lahat! Unang-una nagpapasalamat ako sa pamilya namin na tumulong sa pagpaplano ng proposal ko para kay Mika. For all you guys know, hindi gusto ni Mika yung masyadong cheesy kasi nababaduyan daw siya" napatawa ang lahat ng nasa arena. Pati na rin si Mika na kinurot pa si Kiefer sa tagiliran.
"Pero ang hindi niyo po alam sa buong buhay ko ngayon lang naramdaman na bukod sa pamilya't kaibigan ko, may isang tao pa pala na magmamahal sa akin. Na magtatanggap kung ano ako. Ang mga flaws ko. Lahat ng yun tinanggap ni Mika. Kaya one time, I went to church and thank God na nakilala ko si Mika."
"As cheesy as this may sound but I am not ashamed to shout to the world how much I love this beautiful woman beside me who just said yes to my proposal. So, to my future wife I really, really love you so much. I am very excited to see you walk down the aisle wearing a very beautiful gown and say our vows to each other; and of course, to say I do and become Mrs. Mika Aereen Reyes-Ravena. Baby, I love you so much. I really do, I love you..."
Hindi napigilan ni Mika na maiyak sa mga sinabi ng mapapangasawa niya. Kaya niyakap niya ito ng mahigpit.
Families and closest friends gathered at the Ravena's household. Halos lahat sa kanila ay excited na. Medyo matagal-tagal pa na paghihintay pero kung gugustuhin lang ay bukas pwede na magpakasal sina Kiefer at Mika.
"Anak! I'm so happy for the both of you. Finally, magiging part of the family ka na rin" sabi ni Mozzy kay Mika at niyakap ito.
"Oo nga po, Tita eh"
"Simula ngayon Mommy na ang itawag mo sa akin at Daddy naman kay Bong" nakangiting saad ni Mozzy sa future daughter-in-law niya.
"Hehe, opo mommy"
"Everyone! I would like to propose for a toast for the newly engaged couple, my son Kiefer and now my daughter Mika. For the future!" Bong raised his glass and so everyone else.
"For the future!" Chorus of the guests. Kiefer and Mika shared a toast and gave each other sa sweet kiss.

The next day...
"Babe, samahan mo ko" paglalambing ni Mika kay Kiefer. Nasa bahay sila ngayon ng mga Ravena at katatapos lang ng kanilang munting salo-salo. Nakaupo si Kiefer sa couch habang nanonood ng basketball.
"Saan ba, babe?" Tanong naman ni Kiefer. Lumapit si Mika kay Kiefer at umupo sa kandungan nito at nikagay ang braso sa balikat ni Kiefer.
"Bili tayo ng ice cream" nakangiting sambit ni Mika.
