Micah POV

"Good morning, baby," I said as I hugged her from behind and kissed her on the cheek. When I woke up, she was no longer beside me, and I found her in the kitchen preparing breakfast for the both of us.

"Oh, you're awake," she said, turning to face me with a warm smile. She wrapped her arms around my neck. "Good morning, love," she added, sealing her greeting with a soft kiss on my lips.

"Do you need any help?" I asked her, hoping I could assist with something. "No need, I'm already done," she replied with a smile, removing her arms from my neck and turning back to the stove to finish up. I couldn't resist kissing her on the cheek again before I sat down at the dining table. Soon after, she brought the food over.

"Yum, fried rice and tocino!" I said, savoring the delicious aroma wafting from the freshly cooked meal. Alia simply smiled at me and joined me at the table.

We said a quick prayer before digging into our breakfast. "I'm really excited for your surprise," Alia began, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. Though I had already told her I had a surprise planned, she had no idea what it could be.

"Just wait, baby," I said, reaching over to hold her hand. "I can't wait! When will it be?" she asked with her signature adorable look, the one that always makes me melt.

"Later, baby, you'll find out soon enough," I replied with a smile, feeling amused by her excitement. "Let's eat first," I added. She gave me a sweet smile in return and continued eating her breakfast.

Once we finished eating, I took charge of cleaning up the dishes while Alia relaxed in the living room, watching her favorite movie.

While I was washing the dishes, my phone suddenly chimed with a notification. I paused for a moment, dried my hands, and checked my phone to see who had messaged me. It turned out to be a message from our group chat-the one we had created specifically for my proposal to Alia. Of course, she was the only one not included in that chat.

Group Chat

Marian: "Mac, dito na kami sa location, magsisimula na kami mag decorate"

Micah: "oh, sige, just text me if kulang pa yung perang pinadala ko ha"

Clinton: "Nako! sobra na nga binigay mo kukulangin pa?"

Gavi: "chill bro HAHAHAHA"

Jaron: "eh anong oras naman kayo pupunta dito ni ate alia mac?"

Micah: "siguro mga

Jaron: "sige sige"

Marian: "send ko nalang sa'yo yung pic ng design kapag tapos na kami, mac"

Micah: "alright, thankyou guys!"

The beach location Clinton had chosen was a bit far, so I figured we'd need to leave the condo by around 2 p.m. to catch the sunset in time. After discussing the plans in the group chat, I quickly put my phone down and resumed washing the dishes.

Suddenly, I heard a voice from behind me, causing me to turn around in surprise.

"Hmmm, who are you talking to now?" Alia asked, raising an eyebrow, clearly a little suspicious.
