Mikha's POV

The guests have different opinions with my new piece, I love how honest they were about it. I'm open to criticism since it helps me improve my work.

My parents praised me for my fearless move. After all these years I had the courage to express the real me.

"Didn't know you have this side of yours bunso. Tunay talagang chic magnet ang Lim siblings. Humirit na naman siya, he's really here to embarrass me.

"Pag pasensiyahan mo na ija yung magkapatid ha, ganyan lang talaga sila!!

"Don't worry sir I understand po.

"Just call me tito ija, papunta din naman sa papa yan!!

Si dad din humirit, they're embarrassing me in front of Aiah. She just smiled and nod sa sinabi ni dad and they're laughing sa pang aasar nila sakin. I'm happy to see my family bonded with Aiah, di na ako mahihirapan in the future since they like her naman.

I was shocked to see Eric and her family arrive at my gallery. Lim Corp and the Ayalas are business partners so dad probably sent them an invitation. I don't mind at all pero awkward lang kasi matagal din kaming di nagkita ni Eric nung nag runaway bride ako.

Eric and his dad greeted my parents first, his mom didn't even look at us alam ko galit pa sya sa ginawa ko sa anak niya. Nag beso lang naman ako kay Eric at nagmano sa tatay niya.

"Nice to see you again Mikhs, it's been a long time nadin ha.

"Nice to see you too. I'm sorry again for what happened!!

"Wala naman akong galit sayo Mikhs. Perhaps konting hinanakit lang but, I'm ok now!! Let's not talk about that, happy day ngayon.

I'm glad I heard those from Eric, finally nakunan na ng isang tinik sa dibdib. I hope he finds someone who will love him genuinely since he's a good guy.

"Hindi ganun lang kadali ang lahat Mikha Lim. Pinahiya mo ang anak ko sa maraming tao!
So this is the girl behind all of this? Kaya iniwan mong mag isa ang anak ko sa simbahan sa araw ng kasal niyo. Shame on you. Mga makasalanan kayo!!

"Don't drag Aiah on this mess that I created. Wala siyang kasalanan!!

"Arthur, please ilabas mo ang asawa mo kung ayaw mong masira ang partnership natin! This is my daughter's day kung may na agrabyado man may kasalanan kami since we pushed her too much!!

"I'm so sorry Mikha. We better leave. Pasensya na po talaga.

Eric and his family left the gallery. I was too embarrassed to face Aiah. Narinig niya lahat ng ginawa kong pagkakamali.

I walked out of the gallery kasi naninikip na dibdib ko parang sasabog na. I can't blame her for causing a ruckus, talaga namang may atraso ako sa pamilya nila.

I sat there for a while thinking what would Aiah say. Di pa ako nag simulang manligaw ligwak na agad.

"Finally nakita narin kita. Are you ok Mikha?

"Why are you here Aiah? I'm sorry about that nasali kapa sa gulo ng buhay ko.

She sat beside me, all ears ready to listen to what I needed to say. I explained to her, kung sino si Eric sa buhay ko. I told her everything, the day I ran away from my own wedding to chase the woman I love. Ang araw na nawala sakin si Sam. She just listened to me and I opened up to her kung anong problema ko dati sa pagkatao ko.

"I'm afraid you'll stop seeing me after this Aiah, maiitindihan kita. I know my life's too complicated for you to handle. I'm just sad that this will end before we even started.

"I promise not to go, if you promise to stay Mikhs.
