Mikha's POV
While I was driving, I noticed Aiah, who's beside me, fell asleep. I decided to drive to Tagaytay since I know a place that has a good spot for sunsets. It's already 2:30 p.m., and I pray that there's no traffic so that we can buy food before going to the sunset spot.
After an hour and a half of driving, we're finally here in Tagaytay. It's 4 p.m. now, and we have an hour and a half before the sunset, so I decided to let Aiah sleep for awhile because we slept so late last night. After 30 minutes, I decided to wake Aiah up to ask her what kinds of food she liked to eat today.
"Aiah" I said while tapping her shoulder. I repeated calling and tapping her until she was awake.
"Mhm" she said while her eyes were still closed.
"What do you want to eat today?" I asked her, still looking at her cute face. Gosh, how can someone be this adorable?
"Anything" she said in a sleepy tone.
"Where are we?" She asked when she finally opened her eyes.
"Tagaytay po" I answered and smiled at her.
"What drove you this far??" she said worriedly.
"Aren't you tired? We haven't slept" she asked me, still in her worried tone.
"It's 4:30 p.m. how long did you drive?" She asked me nonstop.
"Yes, just an hour and a half" I answered.
"And I'm not tired, not at all" I added, assuring her that I'm fine.
"I slept for two hours while you were driving. I slept for five hours, three hours last night, and two hours today" she said, looking at me worriedly.
"Let me drive din. I can drive naman para makapag rest ka din while I'm driving" she added, still worried at me.
"I'm fine, po. I can still drive. Besides, I can rest later, naman" I said, convincing her that I was okay. She just stayed quiet and just nodded at me, so I held her hand and said, "Hey, I promise I'm fine. I can rest later while watching the sunset, naman po" I said, still looking at her and assuring her to stop her worries.
"What do you want to eat? Hmm?" I said while still holding her hand.
"I don't have anything in mind. ikaw nalang mag decide. Something delicious, please" she answered, smiling at me. So I started driving.
"Thank you" she added.
"Hmm?" I said while driving.
"Thank you for doing all of this and taking me somewhere far to make me feel relaxed" she said, looking at me.
"I appreciate all of this" she added, smiling at me.
"It's my pleasure to be the one to do this, Aiahkins" I said, taking a quick glance at her while still driving.
"Aiahkins?" She asked me curiously.
"Mhm, everyone is calling you Aiah, so I figured out that I'll call you Aiahkins for now, but of course, if you don't mind" I answered while smiling and keeping my eyes on the road.
"I don't mind. lahat din naman sila tinatawag kang mikhs. Nag iisip tuloy ako kung anong pwedeng itawag sayo," she said while thinking.
"It's fine. if you're comfortable with mikhs, it's okay" I said, still smiling while driving.
"No ayaw ko, want ko man special ba. So, Aiahkins, for now, what will you call me tomorrow then?" She said and asked me while looking at me.
"If you say so, still, Aiahkins, you know what I mean by that" I answered.
"Just kidding, I'm still sleepy. Wala tuloy akong maisip na unique nickname for you" she said, pouting.
"We're here. what do you want to eat?" I said, showing her the restaurant's menu. We're now at a drive-through of a restaurant here in Tagaytay.
After ordering our food, we waited for almost 20 minutes, and after waiting, we received our order. I started driving to the spot I knew for the sunset view here in Tagaytay. The place is a hidden gem in Tagaytay because only a small number of people know about it, but it's a breath-taking, perfect view of the sky, whether it's sunrise, sunrise, or twilight, which is why this place is called one of the hidden gems here.
We're here at the parking lot of the place, a forest-themed parking lot, and I know Aiah loved the view here on the parking lot because she started taking pictures of the view inside the car.
"Let's go, tara naa mikhs" Aiah said excitedly, turning her gaze to me.
"Yeah, let's go. wait lang" I said, got out of the car, and went to her to open the car's door for her. After walking for awhile, we've arrived at the spot I booked for tonight. I started to unpack the food we ordered while Aiah was busy taking pictures of the view.
"Let me help you there na din" she said, sitting beside me.
"No, it's fine. Sit there, na po, im done na din naman" I said and started to settle down beside her.
We stayed sitting beside each other for awhile. When the blue skies turned little by little into pink skies, we ate our food and watched the sunset while drinking our beverage.
"Finals are almost here. I'm not sure kung kaya ng oras natin yung ganito" she said while still looking at the beautiful pink sky.
"We can watch the sunset from your house or my house" I said, turning my gaze into the sky.
"I know, but you know this hits differently at different times" she said, turning her gaze at me.
"We can do this after our finals, before college applications. Besides, it will take a long time before the finals" I said, looking at her. She's doing something on her phone, so I'm curious.
"Hmm, you have a point. Wag na muna nating pag usapan, let's take a picture, mikhs" she said, pulling me close to her.
"1..2..3..one more" she said, continuing to take a picture of us.
"Sit there. I'll take a picture of you" she said, which shocked me.
"Huh? I'm good" I said, but she didn't listen.
"Come on, smile for me, mikhs" she said, looking at me.
"Please?" she added while looking at me as if she's going to cry if I don't pose and smile for her camera.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it" I said, and I started to smile and post the pictures she was taking.
"That's enough now. Let me take a picture of you too" I said, grabbing the camera from her.
"Haggard na ako uy, next time nalang" she said, looking at herself in her phone's camera.
"You look gorgeous, Aiah, with or without that make-up. You look so good, trust me" I said, assuring her that she's always gorgeous.
"Haggard ko man uy, I don't have make-up on Mikhs" she said, but I don't believe what she's saying.
"Nooo, you look good po. Let me take a picture of you, na. You'll see na you look good talaga" I said and smiled at her, which made her agree with me about taking a picture of her.
After awhile, we looked at our captured photos. I couldn't help but smile because we really looked good in those photos, while Aiah was giggling and pinching my cheeks, saying I looked cute, daw.
"Ang cute cute, oh" she said while smiling, looking at my face and the picture she took earlier. I smiled back at her, continuing to look at our pictures.
"Are you sleepy, Mikhs?" She asked me, which made me look at her.
"No, po, why? Are you sleepy, Aiahkins?" I said while still looking at her.
"Konti, I don't want to go home yet" she said, turning her gaze into the sky.
"We can stay. besides, I don't want to go home yet either" I said, still looking at her.
"You can rest here" I said, tapping my shoulder.
"Thank you, Mikhs" she said, leaning her head towards my shoulder.
"Hmm" I responded, and I used my right arm to pat her head.
After spending time watching the sunset with each other, we've decided to go home because our houses are a bit far from Tagaytay. We're here in front of Arceta's now.
"Tell me when you get home, Mikhs" she said, looking at me.
"Thank you for today. Drive safely!" She said, still looking at me.
"Thank you for today too. I will update you when I get home" I said, smiling at her and unbuckling her seatbelt.
"Goodnight in advance. Drive safely!" She said, making me laugh because she's really not quitting about telling me to drive safely.
"Yes, ma'am, goodnight po Aiahkins" I said, which made her smile.
"I'll go now. Good night" she said, kissing me on the cheek, opening the door, and running towards their gate.
"WHAT JUST HAPPENED?? DID SHE JUST KISS ME ON THE CHEEK???" I said, smiling so excitedly.
After breathing, I started to drive home because we have to go to school early tomorrow, and it's already 2 a.m. When I got home, I sent Aiah a message and went to get ready for bed.
