Markho waved at Riki & Randy, not giving an inch of interest to "that guy".

Riki waved back & signalled her to come over & she did.

Mikhael just watched "the dude" as she walks closer to them. So the dude is not a dude, he thought. He can see from the perfect fit of worn out Jeans & long sleeved shirt that the dude got curves on the right places.

"Uhmm, Khael you remember my cousin, Markho right," Riki with the suspicious grin on her face.

Markho already sensed that her cousin might be cooking something, & she's not going to like it for sure.

With a confused look, Mikhael shook his head.

"She spends every summer here, we used to go to the beach with her, Marthina Khorazon, rings a bell?" Riki reminded him.

Mikhael fought so hard not to laugh. What he remembers from this girl was enough for him to roll on the floor laughing. 'Oh, Crybaby is that really you? You've grown". Mikhael teased.

Suddenly, Markho remembered how it was few years ago. She cried a lot because of him..

 But Markho was never intimidated by a man's presence before & she will not be this time.. She stretched her hand to Mikhael & with her sweetest smile, "Welcome home, Mikhael".

Mikhael was dumbfounded.. Inside him, something is stirring up, his heart begins to beat erratically.. He reached for her hand. In his mind, 'its a tiny hand compared to mine, soft & tiny. & that smile, it never reached her eyes, but why do i find it sweet?'

"Can i have my hand back", it was Markho's voice that brought back Mikhael's reverie. While Riki gave Randy a wink & the latter gave out a grin.

"Hey Khael, Markho here is our engineer. She's going to build our dream house & because you're here you should help her with it. Consider that as your gift for us, & that's for not attending our wedding, says Riki. 

"If its okay with Marthina Khorazon here, I'd be honored" Mikhael replied without taking his eyes off Markho.

"It's Markho, sure, I won't mind. Riki, i only have thirty minutes I need to go back, we're having problems on site" Markho said without even glancing at Mikhael.

"So that's why you came here looking just like that, Engr. Marthina Khorazon Orupat. Let's go inside then" Riki exclaimed with disappointment.

Markho knows when Riki states her full name that she's pissed with something & that would be with the outfit she's wearing. She intended to change her clothes before meeting with the couple but she got sidetracked at work & she hates being late, so she opted to wear her DIRT-WORK clothes. Thinking that her cousin have seen her at her worst & he's cousin in law, would never mind. While she wasn't expecting extra eyes, she didn't care of what 'that man' think either.

"This is the floor plan & here is the perspective", Markho points out as the couple including Mikhael look at the details. "I made it accordingg to your wishes cuz, & if you want to add anything, we can still do that".

"I love it cuz, Riki said, full of excitement on her face. How bout you Hon" she asked Randy.

"Well honey, you have the best engineer in town,  it's amazing Markho", Randy making a thumbs up sign to Markho.

"Can i add something, if you don't mind.. The lawn is really big & if you want you can add a swing or a tree house for your future kids" Mikhael voicing out his opinion.

"I think that's a good idea too" Markho seconded, & she smiled at MIkhael, a genuine one. Markho won't resist a great idea like that.

Mikhael's POV

 While browsing the floor plans & perspectives, I can see how good she is. & I even thought that she's going to reject my proposal or she's gonna bad eye me, but she gave me that sweet smile, I thought my heart would melt.

One smile & I'm already losing it.. What is it with this girl, that i need to keep tabs on my sanity?

Markho's POV

A swing or a tree house? I would have thought Mikhael knew my dream house already. Riki felt bad about using my dream house design. She have seen my 3D drawing of a bungalow with a circular tree house & pumpkin like swing. Well, i already assured her it will be  a different design.

"Markho, my grandmama corazon called out, your cousin called, she's asking if you have forgotten about your dinner plans"

"Oopps, i forgot to turn on my phone after my meeting. I'll just call her back that I won't make it"

"Oh Mi corazon (my heart), why are you like that? Take a shower & change, it's only 6:30, & your cousins' house is just a few blocks away. Please, you don't even date & i think you're depriving yourself because of me" grams with that sad voice again.

"Grams, i love you, that's why i'm here & you're not depriving me of anything. okae, to ease up your mind, im going.

I opted to wear a navy blue wrap around sleeveless dress, & a doll shoes, coz, I will be walking..

I'm here, i announced my arrival to the couple, & Mikhael.. Yup, he was invited too..
