Aiah and I had a little picnic dun sa rooftop. Well, it's actually not a picnic since nasa table naman kami. Umorder lang ako kanina ng fries and pizza. Frappe for Aiah and Iced americano for me naman.

I know she's busy and I just want to ensure na she will not make limot kumain. We are seated here sa rooftop, still holding her hand while giving a massage. I think she like it naman kasi she did not complain.

"Madami ka bang paperworks sa council??" I asked.

"Sakto lang naman. Sanay na ako." Aiah answered.

I prepared the food na sa table. I took one slice ng pizza and offered it to Aiah.

"Say 'ahhhh"" Aiah giggle and took a bite. I wiped the hot sauce naman sa gilid ng labi niya and smiled.

We just sat there and nag kwentuhan while eating, teasing, hugging. Aiah was so fun to be with, ang dami niyang alam na jokes and even some of them are corny, I still find myself laughing. Not with the joke but on how amazing Aiah is. Even her little nose scrunches makes me laugh.

We ensured na wala kaming naiwan na basura and we headed downstairs na while holding hands. Aiah was telling me stories about her cat Lingling who likes to chase people daw and I found it so funny and I burst out laughing.

I was so shocked to see Colet sa baba. Immediately, Aiah and I let go of our hands. Para kaming mga bata na nahuli ng parents. My hands are in my back, same with Aiah. I teased her and tried to reach for her pinky but she pinched me instead. Both of us trying to conceal our smiles.

I ended up making libre the group dahil hanap daw nila ako kanina. Colet will have a surprise party nga pala for Maloi. It's their anniversary na kasi and Colet needed my help to record a song that she composed for Maloi so I let her crash on my studio dun sa bar.

For almost a week na, Aiah and I bonded. Palagi kaming together pumasok ng school. Always naman ako may breakfast from Aiah. Sagot ko naman yung lunch namin.

During our free times naman, Aiah and I will sneek out of our group. Sometimes sa rooftop kami tumatambay, or sa labas. We're careful na hindi mapansin ng mga girls na palagi kaming magkasama.

While getting to know Aiah, I felt that my feelings for her is getting deeper. Dati, I just want to know her. Now, I want to be with her. I want to be the reason behind her smiles and I want to be the person she'll think before going to sleep. To hold her hand whenever there is a chance, wrap her with my arms to make her feel that she's safe with me. I want to be the one protecting her. I just want to do everything with Aiah.

We're here sa spot namin sa park. I actually got here first and prepared my little surprise for her.

We are sitting sa picnic blanket when I little girl approached us and gave Aiah a sunflower.

"Ate ganda, may nagpapabigay po." then the little girl ran.

Aiah was confused but she smiled upon seeing the sunflower with a note.

Always keep that smile in your face, lalo kang gumaganda.

Lalong lumaki yung ngiti ni Aiah and hinampas ako sa braso.


"Ouch!" I acted na maskit kahit hindi naman.

"Ano tong pakulo mo ha, Mikha Lim. May pa flowers ka nang nalalaman." Aiah shyly smiled but I know kinilig naman siya.
