Mikha's Pov
“Aiah, nandito na sila Mikha,” Tita Cathy said.
“Tagal talaga ni Aiah,” Sheena said.
“You know Aiah, she always makes sure na wala siyang nakakalimutan,” Tita Cathy added.
Aiah came down from upstairs. I smiled at her and took her mini suitcase.
“Maraiah, ‘yan lang dala mo pero ang tagal mo sa taas,” Sheena said.
“You know me, nagdo-double check ako lagi,” Aiah replied.
“Triple check, to be precise,” Stacey added.
“Tita, alis na po kami,” I said.
“Safe travels and enjoy your trip, girls,” Tita Cathy said.
“We will po,” I replied.
We left the house and got into the van. Today marks the start of our vacation in Baguio. The driver started the van, and I sat by the window, next to Aiah.
Dalawang kotse sana ang gagamitin namin, kaso ayaw ni Mom. Kaya van ang gamit namin. Ako, Aiah, Jho, Stacey, Gwen, at Sheena ang magkakasama. Hindi natuloy ang pagsama nina Kaori at Vivoree. Si Colet naman, nauna na kahapon kasama si Maloi.
Nakakahalata na talaga ako sa kapatid ko.
"Someone's excited for a vacation," I said.
"It's been a while since I had one," Aiah replied.
"I'll make sure you enjoy Baguio," I said.
"Okay, Mikha Lim. I'm looking forward to it," Aiah smiled.
I put my earbuds in and played some songs. I like listening to music when I’m cooking at home or traveling. Tinignan ko si Aiah—tulog na siya. Mukhang hindi siya nakatulog agad kagabi sa sobrang excitement.
Naalala ko tuloy yung nangyari last week sa hospital—yung tinanong ko siya kung pwede ko ba siyang ligawan.
FLASHBACK
"I know this setup isn’t romantic, and it’s all really simple, but... here goes," I said.
I took a deep breath.
"Can I court you, Maraiah Queen Arceta?" I asked.
I looked into her eyes. She smiled and hugged me briefly.
"Uhm... Aiah?" I asked softly.
"Took you long enough to ask," Aiah said.
"Huh?" I blinked.
"I was about to ask what our relationship status is," Aiah teased.
"I'm really slow when it comes to this kind of thing," I admitted.
"I know," Aiah chuckled.
"So... what's your answer?" I asked.
"My answer is... when you wake up later. Get more sleep first," Aiah grinned.
"Huh?" I said, confused.
"Just sleep first, Mikha Lim," Aiah said.
After I woke up, she said yes—I can court her. She said it in front of our friends while they were eating the food they brought. I laughed a bit—some of them almost spilled their food out of excitement.
END OF FLASHBACK
"You're smiling," Aiah said.
"Akala ko tulog ka," I said.
