Mikha's POV:

2 years ago when I finally showed up myself to them with courage and announced my relationship with Aiah. Those years, Aiah had been with me.. and little did I realize, I was slowly falling in love with her.

The time I showed up, they're much worried but happy at the same time. None of them bothered to ask Maloi since then, okay naman na ako. But seeing her once again would wreck me.

I'm with the girls right now because we are gonna watch Ben&Ben concert that is held at a sport complex. I'm with Aiah and everyone is with their partners as well, except for Stacku. She never introduced someone to us. Ang sabi niya, saka lamang siya papasok sa isang relasyon kapag nakauwi na si Maloi. And it looks like she's been serious about it.

When the "Araw-araw" by Ben&Ben played, I couldn't recognize myself nor anyone. I remembered Maloi as I stared at the artists for too long, every beat and rhythm of the music.. I started to remember everything. I wanted to cry.

"Hey" Aiah spoke up.

"Yes, love?" I asked and looked at her.

"Is everything alright?" She asked like she could read me.

Am I that obvious?

"Yes, love.. I'm just glad to be with you." I assured her and smiled.

She's too pretty, what could I do with this girl?

Tomorrow is going to be our 2nd anniversary, and I'm planning about surprising her. I hope she'll love it. By this time, it will be just the two of us.. romantic and happy. That's all.

Aiah's POV:

2 years.. 2 years with Mikha has been the best part of my life. She made me feel whole, even though I know in that two years, in that heart.. it's always Maloi. It had never been not Maloi.

I'm here with the girls watching Ben&Ben's concert while Mikha is beside me, holding my right hand as she caress it using her thumb finger. Ever since the song called "Araw-araw" by Ben&Ben played, I noticed Mikha's breath has become heavy and deep. I couldn't help seeing her like this..

Is it because of the song? Is it because of Maloi? I don't know.. Does she remembers Maloi in this song?

"Hey" I softly called.

"Yes, love?" She asked me.

"Is everything alright?" I asked her since I couldn't help myself but to get confused and worried.

"Yes, love.. I'm just glad to be with you." She answered me.

I know that's a lie, Mikhs. I know those teary eyes were not because of me. Those 2 years.. tomorrow is our 2nd anniversary. How I wished we began after your heart was healed.

After the concert, Mikha seemed very quiet like she's mad. Galit ba siya sa 'kin? I felt more sadness because of her sudden change of mood since earlier. The girls went back to the car, as me and Mikha did the same thing. I'm stopping myself from crying, I am on the verge of it.
