Third Person's Pov

“Sobrang ganda talaga ng isang Maraiah Queen Arceta,” Stacey said.

“Lahat tayo sobrang maganda, not just me,” Aiah replied.

“Humble attorney Maraiah,” Maloi teased.

“Tapusin na natin 'yung make-up mo, Loi,” Aiah said.

“Sigurado, matutulala na naman si Chef Lim,” Sheena added.

They were at Lim's residence, getting ready for the party. Aiah, Maloi, Stacey, and Sheena were in Maloi's room, while Mikha, Colet, Jho, and Gwen were in Mikha's.

“Nag-chat si Jho. Nakabihis na sila, pero kakagising lang ni Mikha,” Stacey said.

“Bilis niya talaga makatulog kahit saan,” Maloi said.

“Lalo na galing sa work,” Sheena agreed.

Tama si Maloi—isa din 'yun sa napansin ni Aiah kay Mikha.

FLASHBACK

Mikha is at the Arceta residence. Maaga siyang umalis sa restaurant, then sinundo niya si Aiah sa office. Aiah changed her clothes first, then went back downstairs. Mikha is currently asleep on the couch in the living room.

Words can't describe how beautiful Mikha is. Aiah tucked a stray strand of hair behind Mikha’s ear. She's sleeping like a baby—bilis talaga makatulog.

"Ehem, ehem. Pwede na matunaw si Mikha," Kuya Bryan said.

"Kuya, she's sleeping," Aiah replied.

Aiah and Bryan went to the kitchen.

"You two look so great together," Kuya Bryan said.

"I'm lucky to have her," Aiah said.

"She's the Mikhaela Janna Lim," Kuya Bryan teased.

"And she's my girlfriend," Aiah answered proudly.

"Wow, Maraiah Arceta, ang lakas ng loob ah," Kuya Bryan joked.

"What's mine is mine, Kuya," Aiah said, smiling.

"Understood, Attorney," Kuya Bryan said, smiling back.

Biglang umulan sa labas. Naisipan ni Aiah na magluto ng sopas—favorite niya lalo na kapag umuulan. After magluto, kinuha muna ni Bryan ang kanyang bowl at bumalik sa taas, habang si Aiah ay sumilip sa couch kung saan tulog na tulog pa rin si Mikha.

"Babi, wake up," Aiah said.

"I fell asleep," Mikha mumbled.

"You had a rough day at work," Aiah said.

"Yes, mostly group customers," Mikha replied.

"Wait here, kunin ko lang sopas," Aiah said.

"Sopas?" Mikha asked.

Aiah grabbed two bowls of sopas, then went back to the living room.

"It's raining pala," Mikha said.

"Soup is the best when it's raining," Aiah said.

"And it’s your favorite," Mikha added.

"Alam na alam ah," Aiah said, amused.

"Mommy Maileen told me," Mikha said.

"Maka-Mommy ka, Mikha Lim," Aiah teased.

"Wait, let's eat na muna. Mas masarap daw ang sopas pag mainit-init pa," Mikha said.

She took a quick bite—halata na napaso siya, pero hindi niya pinahalata.

"You know what's the other best thing when it's raining?" Mikha asked.
