*photocredits to evibukaka* meet RIKI
The dinner went smoothly.. Most parts, Randy interviewing Mikhael about life in Austria & so & so. & Mikhael so ever polite, to answer every single inquiry of Randy.
They decided to call it a night after an hour and a half of dinner & chit chat.
" Khael, can you escort my cuz here on her way home", Riki requested Khael. "You remember our abuela's house, don't you?"
"I should be the one escorting him cuz, he's your neighbor" Markho glaring at Riki
"No, i'd be glad to, Mikhael interrupted, I'm so full, I need to walk this off."
And before Markho can protest, with a quick goodbye Riki shut the door.
"Riki told me, you're going back to austria in a month", Markho breaking the silence between them.
"That was my plan, unless I have a reason to stay" Mikhael looking intently at Markho.
"Oh, it's full moon!" exclaimed Markho, her face full of excitement, like it's her first time to see one.
"Have you seen its reflection in a body of water?" Mikhael asked.
Markho nodded, not even glancing at Mikhael, "but it had been years, I was so caught up with work".
All of a sudden, Mikhael grabbed her hand & for all she knew, they're running..
"Where are you taking me?", Markho asked between breaths..
Mikhael simply smiled at her query..
After a few minutes, they've reached it, the beach where they used to play as kids.
Markho can't help but be speechless at the spectacular moonlit night reflecting on the waters.
"It's so beatiful she exclaimed".
"My view is even more beautiful, Mikhael said with a longing from his voice, all the while just looking at the girl beside him..
Silence just befell on them.. Until Mikhael reminded Markho of the time.. And they walked home.. again in silence.
ORUPAT's Residence
"Thank you Mikhael" for a wonderful evening, Markho smiling sweetly at him.
"Oh please call me Khael like everyone does" and you're welcome" Mikhael replied.
"I like Mikhael better, it suits you, and she smiled sweetly. Like a little child, she waved her hand & bid him goodnight.
Markho's POV:
"What's wrong with me?.. It's not like we were on a date or something. But, why does he keep looking at me, like I would disappear any second.
"My view is even more beautiful" that's what he said, he was looking at me at that time.. Is he trying to tell me something?
"Nah, I'm imagining things. I'd rather sleep". SIGH
Mikhael's POV:
"Markho, please stop smiling, I can't sleep already"..
"Well if someone catches me right now, I'll be in a straitjacket & being led to a mental facility."
"I keep seeing Markho's smile. Her scent lingers, same scent she has when we were kids, baby powder".
"The way she looked tonight, I could just look at her forever. "
"I wanted to hold her hand again,I wanted to kiss her at the beach & kiss her good night. But, i can't ruin it. She trust me.".
"Oh, Markho, you make me crazy.."
PIANO PLAYING & MIKHAEL SINGING
"The Last Time"
The first time I fell in love was long ago.
I didn't know how to give my love at all.
The next time I settled for what felt so close.
But without romance, you're never gonna fall.
After everything I've learned;
Now it's finally my turn.
This is the last time I'll fall... in love.
The first time we walked under that starry sky,
there was a moment when everything was clear.
I didn't need to ask or even wonder why, because each question is answered when your near.
and I'm wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds, this is the last time i'll fall in love.
Now don't hold back, just let me know.
Could i be moving much too fast or way too slow.
'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day.
To find that once in a lifetime, this is it, I'll never be the same.
You'll never know what it's taken me to say these words.
And now that I've said them, they could never be enough.
As far as I can see, there's only you and only me.
This is the last time I'll fall in love.
Last time i'll fall in love.
The last time i'll fall... in love.
"Khael, you're still up?"
"Hey dad, jet lag I guess... Did I wake you?"
"I heard someone playing, so i came down.. Jet lag or Jet love? Is it Markho?" Dad asked with a sleepy grin.
"Dad, I told you its jet lag".
"If you say so, but i've seen the two of you a while ago. The way you look at her"
"Khael, she's a very nice girl. She's got everything, looks, education, great family & good upbringing.. If you ask me, i want her to be my daughter in law."
"I don't know dad, i'm not myself when i'm with her."
"That's LOVE, son. You might think I'm crazy but I have that same dumb expression on my face when I first caught sight of your mother", dad said dreamily.
"Oh I almost forgot, tomorrow, you should wake up early... Every saturday her lola corazon pays your lola miranda a visit and Markho's always with her."
With a pat on my back, Dad left..
I began playing again..
and I'm wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds, this is the last time i'll fall in love...
and I went to bed, expecting to see her smile in my dreams & to behold her face again tomorrow..
<3 <3 <3
