Mikhael's POV
It was already 12 am when I decided to take fresh air on my balcony. When I came out of the room, I noticed that Ayara's friends were still there and sleeping. I walked closer to check if Ayara is already asleep and she has no blanket on so I took a blanket and placed it at her. I also took the alcohol, trash and junk food above the coffee table and cleaned it up.
"Hays, so messy" I said to myself while I tied up my hair.
I threw the trash as well as the used tissues and washed the shot glass and wiped them very well to store it in the countertop.
"Bakit gising ka pa?" A familiar voice speaks behind me, I glance to check if my guess is right and it is, it was Ayara.
"Cleaned the mess. You, bakit nagising ka?" I asked while storing the shot glass in the proper places.
"Nagising? Hindi pa naman ako natutulog" Ayara responded.
"Nung kinumutan mo ako, nakapikit lang ako non. But anyway, bakit ikaw naglinis? Ako dapat maglilinis kaso nagulat ako na nilinis mo e" Ayara added.
"It's okay, ayoko lang makitang makalat condo natin" I responded as she raise her eyebrow.
"Natin?" Ayara asked and I nodded.
"Bakit? Hindi ba kita asawa?" I responded and she turned her back to me.
"Sus asawa sa papel" Ayara whispered but enough for me to hear while she's walking towards the living room.
Well, Ayara was right. We're married but in paper only.
I took a soda in the refrigerator and went to the balcony. It feels so nice living in the city, but being in province hits different.
"Ayaw mo pa matulog?" Ayara asked and stand next to me.
"Hm"
"About my attitude earlier, I'm sorry" Ayara said to me.
"Don't worry about that"
"About earlier, did I mentioned Aki in my sleep ba kaya mo siya nabanggit?" Ayara suddenly asked that caught me off guard.
"H-ha? No, y-you didn't" I responded while stuttering but she squint her eyes at me, a sign of disapproval.
"Liar ka" Ayara responded.
"Fine, you did. Why? Do you still like him?" I asked while staring at her but she looked away.
"No. I don't know" she responded as I raised my eyebrow, something's off.
"Hm okay, you should go back to sleep na" I responded to her.
"Uhm, Mikhael" she said so I looked at her.
"Hm?"
"Can we go on a hiking this Saturday?" Ayara said while playing with her nails.
"No, masama loob ko sayo. You forgot to greet me yesterday"
"Ha?" She asked as I rolled my eyes at her and she suddenly realized.
"AY hala birthday mo pala kahapon, I'm sorry nakalimutan ko" Ayara responded but I just shrugged my shoulders.
Flashback
I was standing beside dad as he was talking with some company CEO so I decided to excuse myself to get a fresh air. I was walking when Johan wrapped her right arm around my neck.
"Happy birthday Mikhael" Johan, Gian and Collie said at the same time so I smiled at them.
"Yung regalo namin sa'yo, bukas na ha" Johan said so I nodded to them.
"Labas muna ako, pahangin lang" I responded and they all tapped my shoulder.
After I got out, I was just walking while getting some fresh air when I heard a foot step and I was surprised so I fell backwards onto the grass.
"Fuck, so clumsy" I said while cleaning my clothes. I check whose footsteps are those from–it was Ayara.
"Is she looking for me?" I asked myself so I decided to approach her.
"Looking for me?"
I laughed at her because of her reaction and the way she flinched. Cute.
"Gosh Mikhael, you scared me" Ayara responded and I prevented myself from smiling.
I decided to take her at the back of the venue, I know that was a good spot for her to unwind because she was locking herself up. I remained silent, waiting for her to greet me; not a wedding greet, but today's my birthday as well. We have been talking for several minutes but I still haven't heard from her what I want to hear so I decided to bring her back to the venue.
End of flashback
"Sorry talaga" Ayara said and held my hand that caught me off guard. She noticed it so she quickly took her hand back.
"Inaaya na nga kita mag hiking eh, ako mag drive ng kotse natin papunta para makabawi naman ako sayo" Ayara said to me while pouting.
"Fine" I responded and Ayara lips widened.
"So exciting!" Ayara responded in excited tone. Adorable.
"Matulog ka na" I responded and she nodded happily.
"You too, goodnight Mj" Ayara responded and smiled at me before going back inside.
"Mj..." I said to myself while staring completely blankly and didn't notice that I'm smiling.
Flashback
"Mj, bilisan mo baka matapos na yung movie, sabi ko kasi sayo bilisan mo kumilos e" Ayara said while pulling me.
"Sorry na nga e" I responded back while scratching my nape.
"Wala na. Kasi naman Mj eh, bagal-bagal kumilos ayan tapos na yung movie" Ayara said and I was just smiling at her cuteness.
"What?" Ayara asked.
"Nothing" I responded back while smiling.
"Ilang oras na nga tayong nahuli, nagawa mo pa talagang ngumiti" Ayara responded and rolled her eyes at me.
Let's watch next time"
"Next time talaga kasi sinayang mo yung pinambili ko ng ticket natin para sa movie na 'to" Ayara responded and pinched my side.
"Aray" I said while laughing between my voice.
"Ah talagang tumatawa ka pa ha" Ayara said and pinched me stronger.
"Enough na, aray ko Ayara masakit!" I responded while stopping her.
