Aiah's Pov
"What's the update about Denise Lee?" I asked.
"Jho and Colet already followed her every movement. We can commence the plan tomorrow at lunch," Maloi said.
Maloi ended the video call meeting. Mikha's going to have lunch with Denise at the Lee residence. Bibigyan siya ni Maloi ng spy camera at voice recorder.
"Knock knock, Attorney Maraiah," Mikha said.
"Mikha," I said.
Mikha's in front of my table. Sa pagka-excited ko, tumayo agad ako sa upuan at niyakap siya.
"H-Hi, I just arrived and went straight here," Mikha said.
Nagulat ata siya sa yakap ko.
"You're flustered," I said.
"You always have that effect on me," Mikha said.
"Nag-chat ka sana," I said.
"I know you had a meeting. Maloi told me," Mikha said.
"I'm glad you're home," I said.
"So am I. Let's watch a movie tonight at my condo, just like I promised," Mikha said.
"You kept your promise," I said.
"Of course. Especially for you," Mikha said.
Her cheeks are blushing—how cute.
"I wouldn't miss any chance to be with you," Mikha said.
Inayos ko agad gamit ko at hinawakan ang kamay niya.
"Then let's go. I can't wait to watch a movie with you," I said, smiling at her.
Umalis na kami sa firm at pumunta sa condo niya. Nag-shower muna ako bago kami nanood. Our food for tonight is chicken wings, popcorn, and soda.
"How's Baguio?" I asked.
"It's the same, but the people there kinda miss me cooking at my restaurant," Mikha said.
"Mikhs, pwede magtanong?" I said.
"Sure, Aiah. Ask away," Mikha said.
"Did you ever try to have a crush on other people besides me before?" I asked.
"I did try, but it didn’t last long... because my heart always beats only for you," Mikha said.
I leaned my head on her shoulder.
"I wanna know you more," I said.
"You will, Aiah," Mikha said.
Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko habang nanonood kami. I wanna talk about what we are right now, but I’m just too happy that we're spending time together.
The next day, lunchtime — the plan has started.
Mikha and Denise are having lunch at Denise’s house. Naka-standby kami ni Maki at Maloi’s team sa isang bahay na malapit lang. Nung una, rinig namin ang pag-uusap nila, pero ilang sandali lang, biglang nagkawala-wala ang signal ng voice recorder. Buti na lang, gumagana pa ang spy camera.
"Ano'ng nangyari sa voice recorder?" I asked.
"Either yung signal, or in-off ni Mikha," Jho said.
"Maloi, may ibang plano ba si Mikha?" I asked.
"Aiah, kalma ka lang. Trust Mikha," Maloi said.
I tried to stay calm, pero ilang sandali lang, nawala na rin ang signal ng spy camera.
