SAVE ME FROM FALLING

Chapter 28. Realization

Mikha beamed and started playing with Aya's left hand. The latter also grinned and enjoys the comfort of being this close to her best friend. She misses her dearly, that is for sure. Being in the arm of each other feels home, safe and secured. Aya could not understand, but being with her washes away all her insecurities and fear. Thinking all of those, she did not realize she fell asleep hugging Mikhs so tight that the latter could not even move.

Mikha tried to shuffle them down so they can lie in bed. Seeing Aya this close feels surreal. The early moment she saw her walking in the classroom, she knew her beauty captivated her impeccable personality. Aya was the first person who makes her speechless and faltered at the same time. She transcends sensations she could not fathom to begin with. And the very reason she wanted to get to know more about Aya.

Aya started giving a soft snore, which Mikha finds so adorable. She tucks the strands of hair covering her face and kisses her forehead. Their proximity is the contentment she is graving for. She hugs her closer to her arms and falls asleep as well.

Right after the group's final exams, they agreed to leave Friday after lunchtime together with their boyfriends. Mikha invited Vxon to come with her, but he has another plan over the weekend.

The group prefers to travel to a convenient place for their beach outing. Mikha suggested an opened resort in Anilao Batangas. Colete letting Mo run their van with Gwene and Patrick, Jho and Taneo, Audrey and Gino in it.

Keiro is driving his SUV with Aya, Maloi and JL, Sheen and Jao. Aya refuses for Mikhs to drive on her own and volunteered to come along with her. But Mikha insisted on bringing her car and promised to meet them at the resort. Aya could do nothing but to follow what she wanted.

The group of Aya and Colete arrived at Casa Filipinas Resort before sunset. It welcomed them with an impressive view of the beachfront. The interior of the reception area has a vibe of modern and traditional Filipino style. Colete reached the counter and gave the name of Mikhs for their reservation. After a while, the manager of the resort greeted them and aided to their respective lodges.

All 7 boys are staying in one air-conditioned cabin, while 4 girls, Jho, Colete, Gwen and Audrey will stay in one lodge and next to them is for the group of Aya, Sheen and Maloi. The three separate cabins have a view of beach front and one private pool. Colete questioned the manager for having only 3 beds in Aya's room instead of 4, demanding one extra bed for MIkha.

Ah. You are asking for Ms. Mikha, she has her villa on top of the hill. She will meet all of you in the premier restaurant for dinner at 7pm. They all looked at each other, a bit perplexed by the message.

May I inquire who owned this resort, Ma'am? Jho queried.

Better to ask Ms. Mikha, she controlled this place. Will serve your snacks in a while. If you need anything else, just call our operator. The manager bowed and took off. The mighty three seems faltered at the information, wondering why their friend never mentioned a thing about this place.

Aya left their room after unpacking her stuff. She wanted to wander around the beach front to see the sunset. The rest of the group preferred to relax than to tag along for a stroll. She was near the end of the resort when an arriving jeep caught her attention. The car stopped on top of the hill with a small villa and saw Mikha came out with some friends.
