Third person POV:

Mikha: “Hello there, gorgeous. What are you doing?” She asked, placing her chin on top of her arms, looking at the girl who was too focused on her studies.

Deep lines evident on the girl's forehead, not giving even a small glimpse to the person who asked.

Mikha does not like being ignored, instead, she's been very consistent on getting the attention of Aiah.

Mikha: “Sana 'lesson' nalang ako, para bigyan mo rin ako ng atensyon.” But still, she was ignored. On the other side, Mikha is running out of patience. She pouted and made a cute face, facing the girl.

Mikha: “Hey there, tulips. Can I borrow your time? Can I have a moment with you? Pretty pleaseeee.” Aiah noticed what Mikha said, curiosity diverts her attention from her studies to Mikha.

Aiah: “Why tulips?” She asked, confused why Mikha called her 'tulips'.

Mikha: “Because I like tulips, my mom and ate liked tulips, I care about tulips, tulips make me smile, tulips remind me of my love ones. To sum everything up, I love tulips. And tulips is you.” The younger said, not taking her eyes off of Aiah's blushing face. Aiah was too stunned and delighted to speak. Aiah noticed that Mikha absentmindedly knew what she said, Mikha just blurted out what she thinks of Aiah.

Aiah: “Tsss, bola.” She said and chuckled, avoiding eye contact with the latter because it might cause her a heart attack.

Mikha: “I love you.” The younger said softly, can't help but to say what she feels to her home.

Aiah really likes how honest Mikha is with her feelings. Aiah never thought of having someone who's so certain about her.

On the other hand, Mikha thought of Aiah as her only certainty in a thousand doubts in this world.

Aiah closed her notes and walked near Mikha. She hold the younger's left cheek and Mikha automatically closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the hand of her love. Aiah's thumb caressing her cheek, memorizing Mikha's pretty face.

Aiah: “You know that I love everything in this world, right?” She asked and the latter nodded, still closing her eyes and feeling the moment with Aiah.

Aiah: “You're a part of this world, so you know what or whom I love.” She said, placing her forehead on Mikha's, not letting go of Mikha's cheek.

Mikha knew that Aiah will not respond to what she said because she's aware that she needs to earn Aiah's 'yes' to be hers. Thanks to her father's tips. But she understood what Aiah's message to her.

Mikha: “Hmm, pwede bang ganito nalang tayo palagi?” Mikha asked, still no gap with their foreheads. Aiah also begins to close her eyes, feeling what Mikha feels.

Then it's Mikha's turn to open her eyes and Admire the beautiful face of Aiah in a close view.

Aiah: “As long as we're together, As long as all the tulips in this world live, walang magbabago sa atin. Ikaw at ako pa rin.” Aiah said, smiling from ear-to-ear while her eyes closed.

Mikha was just staring on Aiah's face. Sana ganon kadali, sana marami tayong oras para magsama. But don't worry, my home, as long as all the tulips remain alive, babalik at babalik pa rin ako sa'yo. Mikha thought.
