Arrange Marriage

Chapter 32

Mikhael's POV

It's already evening as we just landed in the Philippines after a short trip in the US; we're now at the airport and waiting for our private chauffeur to arrive said it's traffic. After a few minutes of waiting, the private chauffeur arrived and assisted us as well as our belongings.

"Welcome back po, Mr and Mrs. Lim, miss Khael, sir Kenzo" the chauffeur greeted us with a warm and welcoming smile.

"Thank you, oh one thing, let's go straight to Khael's condo. Doon daw siya dederetso" Kenzo replied.

"Masusunod po" The private chauffeur said and opened the door.

.

I don't have my condo's key card so I only have a key. I hurriedly opened the door to rest because I was tired but as soon as I opened it, Ayara was standing not so far from the door that made me flinch and scream.

"Oa?" Ayara said and crossed her arm.

"Gosh Ayara, what do you think you're doing? Nagulat ako" I said while holding my chest.

"Umuwi ako kagabi but anyway, welcome back" Ayara said and smiled at me.

I don't know but I felt awkward and shy which caused my cheeks to turn red so I cupped my face.

"Bakit ka namumula?" Ayara asked and removed my hand from my face to replace it with her hand.

Ayara was now staring at me while touching both of my cheeks.

"Okay ka lang ba? Masama ba pakiramdam mo?" She asked which caused my heart to speed up as if it was going to burst out of my chest.

"uh yeah, pagod lang" I replied, trying my best to steady my voice.

"Kumain ka na ba? Nagluto ako halika sabay na tayo kumain" Ayara said and pulled me towards the dining room.

Ayara made me sit down and run towards the kitchen to grab the food and serve it.

"Here, nagluto ako ng sisig. First time ko lang mag cook neto" Ayara said while placing the food down the table.

"Tikman mo" she added and smiled at me, a smile that is very genuine.

"U-uh yeah sure" I replied and started to dig in.

As soon as I swallowed it in my mouth, I was stunned for a few seconds that made Ayara raise her eyebrow.

"P-pangit ba lasa?" She asked while pouting that made me feel bad.

"No, it's delicious Ayara. Thank you for putting an effort. Luto ka ulit next time" I replied and smiled at her. Well not gonna lie, the food tastes so good that it melts in my mouth.

"Kain kana rin" I said and served her a food as she started to dig in.

I was supposed to wash the dishes but Ayara stopped me because she said I was tired and needed to rest so I took a quick bath while my hair was tied up. After a few minutes, I went out of the room while wearing a bathrobe and walked towards my closet to get dressed. I'm only going to wear boxer shorts and a t-shirt because I'm only going to sleep, It's hot too even though the air conditioning is on so I'm not going to wear pajamas. While I was changing, Ayara went in; Good thing I'm still wearing a bathrobe.

"S-sorry, akala ko nasa cr ka...lalagay ko lang sana damit mo, nilabhan ko" she said and walked towards me to hand me my clothes.

"Nilabhan mo damit ko?" I asked even though I heard what she just said.

"Yeah, I did" Ayara responded and turned her back at me.

"What's with the boxer short? Andami" was the last thing she said and walked away.

"Oh no.."

.

after I got dressed and put my clothes in my closet, I immediately went to my bed to rest because my body was really tired. I was about to close my eyes when Ayara opened the door.

"Yes? You need something?" I asked and sat down.

"U-uh wala lang, just checking up on you" she responded and was about to close the door when I called her out.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Can you stay here?" I said out of nowhere.

"If gusto mo lang" I added and scratched my nape.

"Sure" Ayara simply responded and went inside.

Ayara immediately went to the other side of the bed and sat down.

"Kamusta ka?" I started.

"Okay lang naman, how's your trip sa US?" Ayara asked.

"Okay naman, na-miss mo ba ako?" I teased her while grinning.

"Yeah, I've missed you, na-miss mo ba ako?" She replied that it caught me off guard.

"Hahaha nice joke there, Ayara" I said and covered my body with a comforter and started to lay down.

"Hindi ako nagbibiro" She replied while staring at me.

"Yeah yeah haha whatever, papahinga na ako" I said and chuckled awkwardly.

"Okay, goodnight Khael, dito lang ako sa tabi mo" she said in a soothing voice and lean in the bedframe.

.

It's already 7 in the morning when I woke up, I noticed that Ayara is no longer by my side so I quickly stood up and stretched out my arms. I cleaned my bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. After that, I put on a short and went to the kitchen. After I left the room, I found Ayara putting on her shoes, she was wearing leggings and a sports bra, obviously that she'll go on a jog.

"Oh hey good morning Khael, mag jogging lang ako, I'll be back before 10" Ayara said and faced me.

"Sino kasama mo?" I asked.

"Ah si Jeremy" Ayara responded that made my blood boil.

"Jeremy? Seriously, Ayara?" I asked while my face was frowned.

"Why? Jealous much? Hm?" She asked while gradually approaching me.

"No I'm not, sasama ako sa'yo" I said and was about to walk away when she held my wrist.

"Ano ka ba don't worry, kasama ko rin sila Ria" she assured me as she suddenly hugged me which made me very surprised.

I was about to speak when she suddenly spoke first.

"Ang warm ng katawan mo ano?" Ayara asked while hugging me, I didn't hesitate anymore so  I patted her back gently and softly.

She kept hugging me, I don't know why she did that but what I do know, I'm comfortable and I feel safe next to her.

"Oh sorry, nabigla ka ba?" Ayara said after letting go of the hug.

"It's okay, thank you" I said.

"Thank you sa?" She asked, looks very confused.

"For hugging me, I badly longed for a hug" I responded and patted her head.

"Ingat ka ha, update me" is the last thing I said before going back to the bedroom.
