CHAPTER 36

"Oh my god what is happening here?!" Gulat na tanong ni Staku as she saw her friend crying and Mikhs bleeding.

"Tol ayos ka lang ba? Anong nangyari?" JR said while checking on his friend.

"Hindi pa tayo tapos. I know you can't live without me Aiah!" Cole shouted habang dinadampot siya ng mga personal guards ni Mikhael.

"You heard her Cole. Tapos na kayo at tapos ka na." Mikhs said and gave Cole a dagger look.

"May araw ka rin sakin Lim. Tandaan mo yan!" Cole said.

"Shut up Cole! Sige na bitbitin niyo na yan!" Aiah said.

Aiah's world shattered into pieces she came at the event with a happy heart and now she doesn't know what to feel. She is crying her heart out and all she can feel is pain.

"E-excuse me..." Aiah said while crying at tumakbo ito paalis.

"Aiah wait!" Staku shouted to her friend trying to catch her up pero hirap itong gumalaw dahil sa suot nito.

"Staks ako na bahala kay Aiah." Mikhs said following Aiah.

Mikhs looked for Aiah at every corner of the place but she is nowhere to be found. He found himself at the pool area and there she saw Aiah sitting and crying like a lost child.

Dahan dahan namang lumapit si Mikhael dito, "I know it's not appropriate to ask if you're okay when you're clearly not." Mikhs said while his both hands in his pocket.

"I'm sorry about what happened earlier Aiah..." Mikhs said looking down at Aiah.

Aiah slowly looked at him with teary eyes. Mikhael can feel the pain through Aiah's eyes and all he can do right now is to accompany Aiah.

He sat quietly beside Aiah, all they can hear is the wind and the rush of water in the pool. No one bothers to talk lalo na si Mikhs. Pinapakiramdaman lang naman niya si Aiah hanggang sa mag salita ito.

"I gave everything to him. I gave in, my heart, my soul... my body..." Aiah said while crying.

"Binaboy niya ako. He made love to me habang nakikipag sex din siya sa ibang babae?" Aiah said in between her sobs.

Mikhs went closer to Aiah and out of nowhere, Mikhael gave her a hug and that's where Aiah broke down.

"Minahal ko siya pero bakit ganito? Saan ba ako nag kulang?" Aiah said while crying.

"You don't deserve all the lies Aiah. You deserve better." Mikhs said while hugging Aiah.

Mikhs stood up and offered his hand to Aiah, "Let's grab an ice cream? Hindi natin sila bati." The latter raised her head to look at the man in front of her.

Aiah smiled through the pain then grabs Mikhs' hand.

"Thank you for always being there every time na sinasaktan ako ng mundo." Aiah said.

"Maybe the universe sent me to protect you." Mikhs said then smiled.

[FAST FORWARD]

Mikhs and Aiah found themselves in Mikhs' place eating a tub of ice cream.

"Mikhael seryoso maraming salamat for this." Aiah said while sitting on a couch with Mikhs.

"I know this won't help with the pain but I hope it will." Mikhs answered back.

"Presence mo palang Mikhs. It's more than enough." Aiah said then smiled at Mikhael.

They continued eating their ice cream until Aiah popped a question.
