ONE ROOF (MikhAiah)

CHAPTER -6- Complicated

Author's point of view.

The kiss lingered, a sweet and intoxicating symphony of unspoken desires. As they finally pulled away, breathless and flushed, Aiah and Mikha found themselves staring into each other's eyes, a silent understanding passing between them. The world outside their room seemed to fade away, replaced by the intensity of their connection.

But as they lingered in that moment, a flicker of fear crossed Aiah's face. The reality of their situation crashed down on her, a stark reminder of the complexities of their love.

"We can't," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly. "It's... it's just too complicated."

Mikha, his eyes filled with a mixture of passion and concern, reached out to gently cup her face. "I know," he said softly, his thumb tracing the contours of her cheek. "But I can't help myself. I love you, Aiah.  And I know... it's not like we're related by blood.  But our families are so close, it feels like a whole other kind of taboo."

His words, spoken with such honesty and vulnerability, stirred a storm of emotions within Aiah. She yearned to be with him, to explore the depths of their feelings, but the weight of their families' intertwined lives pressed heavily on her heart.

"What will we do?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Mikha's gaze softened as he looked into her eyes, searching for a glimmer of hope. "I don't know," he admitted, his voice laced with a hint of uncertainty. "But I know we can't ignore this.  We can't pretend this isn't real.  It's too strong, too powerful."

Aiah felt a surge of determination welling up within her. She couldn't deny the feelings that burned so brightly between them. She knew, deep down, that she couldn't let fear dictate their future.

"We need to be careful," she said, her voice firm despite the tremor in her heart. "But we can't let fear control us.  We need to find a way to make this work.  Maybe... maybe we can talk to our families.  Explain how we feel.

Mikha smiled, a glimmer of hope shining in his eyes. "We'll figure it out," he said, his voice filled with unwavering conviction. "Together."

As they embraced, the weight of their secret love felt less daunting, a shared burden they were willing to bear. In that moment, they found strength in their vulnerability, a shared determination to navigate the complexities of their feelings, no matter the challenges that lay ahead.

After Mikha left Aiah's room, a sense of quiet introspection settled over both of them. Aiah found herself lost in a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions, her heart torn between the intensity of her feelings for Mikha and the weight of their complicated situation.

As she prepared for bed, the events of the evening replayed in her mind like a vivid dream. The touch of Mikha's hand on her face, the sincerity in his eyes, the confession of his love – they all echoed in her heart, stirring a mix of longing and uncertainty.

In his own room, Mikha lay on his bed, staring up at the ceiling as he replayed the conversation with Aiah in his mind. The depth of his feelings for her tugged at his heart, leaving him restless and contemplative.

As the night deepened, sleep eventually found its way to Aiah and Mikha, wrapping them in its embrace as they drifted off into a world of dreams. In the quiet of their separate rooms, a sense of peace settled over them, a temporary respite from the complexities of their reality.

It's kinda lame hahaha.
