-Mikha-

We're here na sa La Union. Matagal na rin akong hindi nakaka visit dito. Sinalubong naman kami nila Manong Boy para tulungan sa mga gamit namin.

"Mang Boy!" bati ko at niyakap siya.

"Mikha! Kamusta? Buti at napadalaw ka." masayang bati ni Manong Boy.

Close talaga ako sa mga workers namin kasi mula pa noong bata ako, sila palagi yung kasama ko at tinuturing na rin namin silang pamilya.

"Alam mo bang excited kaming lahat nang malaman namin na bibisita ka? Kahit si Manang Pasing, biglang sumigla." dagdag niya pa habang tinutulungan akong ilabas yung mga gamit sa kotse.

"Really ho? Andito si Yaya Pasing?" nagliwanag naman yung mukha ko ng marinig yon.

"Oo, Mikhs. Kaya nga lang ano.....medyo makakalimutin na. Alam mo na, tumatanda na tayo." pabirong sabi naman ni Manong Boy. "Pero sigurado ako pag nakita ka niya ma aalala ka nun. Peyborit ka nun eh".

Nag kwentuhan lang kami ni Manong Boy habang papasok sa rest house. Pinakilala ko naman yung girls sa kanila. Kilala na kasi nila sina Colet, Gwen at Jho.

"Si Aiah nga po pala, girlfriend ko po."

"Hi po, ma'am Aiah."

"Hello po, enjoy po kayo dito."

"Hi ma'am. Ang ganda nyo po."

"Ma'am Aiah, wag po kayo mahiya mag sabi kung may kailangan po kayo. Kami po bahala."

Sunod sunod na bati naman ng mga caretakers dito sa resthouse.

Aiah gave them a smile, halatang nahihiya. Hehe cute.

"Love...ambabait nila."

Andito kami ngayon sa room namin at nag unpack na muna ng things.

Naka upo lng ako sa bed at tumayo para lapitan yung girlfriend ko. She's busy filing our clothes sa cabinet.

I hugged her from behind and wrapped my arms around her. Slowly, we swayed kahit walang music. We remained in that position and I rested my chin on her shoulder.

"I told you..they are mabait. Do you know na sila yung nagpalaki sa akin? Let's just say half of my personality ay dahil sa kanila. They thought me good deeds. They never left me alone. They assured me na kahit busy sila Mom at Dad sa work, di ako dapat ma sad kasi andyan sila."

"Dapat pala mag thank you ako sa kanila, love." Aiah stopped what she's doing and leaned her body to mine. Still swaying with me.

"Why naman love?" takang tanong ko.

Aiah stopped and turned to face me. My hands is still on her waist and she wrapped her arms on my neck.

"Kasi po pinalaki ka nilang napaka buting bata. You're full of love and respect kaya you also give your love and respect to the people around you. I should thank them for that." while looking at me, Aiah gave me a sweet smile and hugged me.

"Marunong ka palang mambola, Miss Arceta." birong sabi ko while hugging her back.

"Sira!"

I earned a small smack naman sa likod ko. I just chuckled, still hugging the love of my life.

We gently broke the hug and we lay down sa bed na muna. Aiah rested her head on my chest as I pulled her for an embrace. Gently, stroking her hair with my fingers, I started to sing for her.

"I love you, Mikha Lim" I felt Aiah's hands cupping my cheek.

"I love you too, Maraiah Queen." I responded and kissed her lips. It was a quick kiss lang naman. We still haven't recovered from last night pa kaya.
