Special Part

(This is your Author requesting to play the song "Can't Help Falling In Love" by George David Weiss, Hugo Peretti, and Luigi Creatore. Repeat the song until you finish this chapter, Thank you!)

Maloi's POV:

"So, tita Mikhs liked you for almost 18 years?" Gwen and Sheena's son asked me.

Well, she did like me over those years and I've only known it for a long amount of time. Ang likot ng batang 'to. Nagtanong kasi siya sa akin kanina kung bakit wala ako sa kasal ng mga magulang niya. I was away.

"Yes, love." I answered.

"Hey, ano ang ginagawa niyong dalawa dyan? Giyo, your parents are going here. Let's get ready na para makauwi na ikaw?" Mikha interrupted.

She loves this kid so much. Kahit hectic ang schedule naming dalawa, gusto niya pa rin dito hinahatid itong anak nila Sheena and Gwen.

"We were just talking about how we ended up together, napatanong siya kung bakit wala ako sa kasal ng parents niya." I told Mikha and we both laughed.

...

"Thank you Lucky and Mikhs." Gwen texted on the group chat after they went home with Giyo.

"Umiiyak siya dahil iniwan niya raw si tita Mikhs niya." Reply ni Sheena.

"Hoy! Gusto rin namin ng bonding with Giyo!" Ate Aiah texted.

Mikha's POV:

I woke up and it's 6 ante meridiem, Lucky is not beside me. Where the hell is she at this hour? I get up from bed and tried finding her, nakita ko siya nagluluto ng breakfast.

"Why is my wife so early today? I woke up and you weren't beside me." I back hugged her and sniffs her neck.

God, she really smells good.

"Baby not right now, I'm cooking oh?"

I turned off the stove and shower her neck with kisses that made her face me. A soft moan escapes on her lips as my kisses trails along her neck. I was about to stole a kiss from her lips when she gently pulled away and placed her index finger on my lips.

"Maybe you should get ready, baby. It's 9 ante meridiem!" She told me with a little yell as she gave me a peck on my lips.

I checked my phone kanina and it's 6 am pa lang?! I checked it once again and she's right, 9 ante meridiem na!

Maloi's POV:

Kinakabahan ako, even my phone calls from Stacey walang sumasagot. Nasaan ang Mikha Lim ko? Silang dalawa ang hindi sumasagot sa 'kin. I called Gwen and ate Aiah, hindi naman daw nila kasama. Sila Jho and Colet ang sabi sa 'kin ay wala rin daw sila Mikha ro'n. Mikha and Stacey's parents wala rin. Ang laki ng kaba ko, it's 10 post meridiem na.

I'm scrolling on my phone kasi baka traffic lang. Ayaw ko naman mag-isip ng kung ano-ano, baka mabaliw lang ako ng husto. Minutes later someone called me, and it's Mikha! Finally..

"MIKHA? Where are you baby, I'm so worrie-"

"Ma'am??? Ikaw po ba si Mary Loi? Ma'am na-aksidente ang may hawak ng phone, nandito po kami ngayon sa ****** street paparating na rin po ang ambulansya."

"HUH? KUYA WAIT LANG PO PUPUNTA NA PO AKO PAKITAWAGAN PO ANG PARENTS NIYA NAKALAGAY PO R'YAN"

Nagmadali ako sumakay sa sasakyan at iniwanan ko ang bahay ng nakabukas lahat, wala na akong pake kung ano ang kalagayan ng bahay. Hindi p'wedeng mawala si Mikha, itatakwil ko lahat. Walang wala akong papatawarin.

I drove off to the exact location where the person told me to go, nasaan na ba 'to? Wala namang traffic, saan nangyari ang banggaan? Ang dilim ng street na ito.. Mikha nasaan ka ba?

Bumaba ako sa mismong location at tinawagan ko muna si Mikha, same lamang din yung sumagot. Nang nakita ko, nag-wave pa sa akin si kuya at parang tuwang tuwa pa siya. Anong kalokohan 'to? Putangina hinohostage ba si Mikhs?

"Where is Mikha?? Ang sabi mo banggaan? Where is she?? Saan?!"

"Ma'am dahan dahan lang po, pinapunta po kayo rito ng mga kaibigan niyo.."

When we're trying to run, nakita ko ang mga siraulo kong kaibigan. Wala akong time magsaya, nasaan si Mikha Lim?!

Stacey's POV:

Na-alarm kami nang biglaang mag-text si manong na parang sasakalin na siya ni Lucky, siraulo talaga. Nadamay pa si kuya. We set up the lights and the dinner table pati na rin ang carpet, and we also prepared letters that spell out "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" behind our backs.

Hindi ako makapaniwalang mangyayari 'to. When Lucky arrived, pawis na pawis siya at parang namumutla na. Wala pang suklay ang buhok niya at halatang walang asikaso. Nagmadali nga ata siya pumunta rito.

I waved at Lucky at tinuro ko si Mikha sa side. I checked the time and it's 11:08 post meridiem. Bawat galaw ng oras, alam ni Mikha ngayon dahil balak niya ilabas ang ring kapag 11:11 na.

Ang romantic ni Mikha..

Shall I stay?
Would it be, would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you

Mikha sang while she slowly walk towards our crying Lucky. Grabe naman umiyak 'tong babaeng ito.

Mikha's POV:

"I'm sorry for making your worry. I just wanted to surprise you, woman. But the surprise is.." I signaled them to finally raise the letters.

My woman began to cry while reading it one by one. Ang puso ko, Maloi..

Giyo ran up to me to give the ring, gusto niya siya raw ang mag-aabot sa tita Maloi niya, but sorry baby! Tita Mikhs this time.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you.." My mind is continuing to count and manage the time.

It's 11:10, hopefully this is it..

"Mary Loi Yves Ricalde" I began to kneel.

"Will you marry me?" I opened the box and look through her eyes.

This time, I'm calm. I'm soft, I'm genuine. I don't wanna feel any pressures nor nervousness. I want this to be the softest moment for the both of us.

Maloi's POV:

Sasabog na ata ang puso ko... siraulo ka Mikha Lim. Napaka siraulo mo..

"Yes.. Y-yes!" I grabbed her and hug her tight. Ang saya saya ko. Ang swerte ko kay Mikha, sobra.

She proceeded to put the ring, ang ganda. It looks expensive.

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you

"I love you, Mary Loi Yves Ricalde."

"I love you more, Mikhaela Janna Jimenea Lim.. sobra.."
