Ara's POV

Hinila ko si Mika patungo sa beach area nitong hotel. I need to clarify something. I need to know this thing that bothers me. Because if she does, I will do it for her, for us.

"Daks..." Ani ko.

Hindi sya sumagot and I guess, this is a cue for me to ask her and to tell her.

"Nung bumalik ako...Hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang dapat kong maging reaksyon ang dapat kong itrato sayo. Lalo na nung nagkitakita na tayo sa Resto. Kase alam ko masakit parin para sayo na umalis ako. Pero I swear Daks, hindi ko yun ginawa para iwan or saktan ka, o di kaya'y mahal ko si Shiela. I did that because I don't have a choice. Ang hinihintay lang naman namin ay ang paggaling nya para makabalik ulit ako...."

I looked at her sincerely at nakita kong may namumuong mga luha sa mata nya...Na tila ba'y naalala nya ang mga nangyari sa nakaraan...

"Ye, you know how much I love you and how much you mean to me. You are a precious gift to me. I can't measure my love for you, Aereen. It is priceless, very priceless. I did everything para hindi makasama sa kanila but still, It's an act of thanksgiving for Tita and Bang because of what they did to our family. Although mama doesn't like Bang for me, she convinced me to go."

I saw her cried and a bitter smile drew on her face as she looked up to me...

"I went there, Miks. But I promise, nandun man ako at nandito ka, kahit malayo ako sayo, naiwan sayo yung puso ko, Mika. Kase, wala akong ibang inisip kundi ikaw. Until one day, I didn't expected na magiging ganun sya. I tried to ask her but I failed. She's rebel. That is because her mom passed away and her dad left her, right after her mom died and she got cured from a gravely ill."

Napatingin si Mika sa malayo at kinagat ang lower lip nya. A sign na naaawa sya kay Shiela.

Damn, don't do that baby. Baka sunggaban kita.

"Mahal na mahal kita, Mika. Itanggi ko man sa sarili ko at ng isip ko pero yung puso laging nasusunod. Sabi nga nila, 'Ang puso pwedeng turuan, pero hindi kayang utusan'. I have decided to follow my heart again without having secondary thoughts."

Napabalik ang tingin nya sa akin at dun na sya nagsimulang humagulgol.

I hugged her tight.

"I came back here to come back to you...Knowing that you'll accept me again..."

She cried and cried and cried. All I can hear is her cry.

Unti unti naring tumulo ang mga luha sa mata ko.

"I-I'll ask you one thing...."

She didn't answer. A sign for me to continue what I'm about to ask.

"D-D-Do you still....."

Di ko mahugot ang lakas ko sa mga salitang gusto kong bitawan at sa katanungang gusto kong masagot.

I let out a sigh at dun ko na nakuha ang courage to say those words...

"Do you still love me, Mika Aereen?"

I closed my eyes and ready myself for her answer.

Five minutes passed, she's still not answering....I can't also hear her cry....

"Mika, you know it's okay if you don't feel the same way anymo--"

"Yes."

"W-What?"

"I said yes, Tomsy. I still love you. You and you alone."

Those words made me smile and let go of our hug.

I cupped her face, pull her nearer to me, and asked her my last question....

"If that's the case....Will you run away with me, baby?"

I smiled as I hear her answer....

"For you, I will."

The next thing I knew is I grabbed her and kissed her as passionate and intimate as I can.

But what made me smile more is her answer to my kiss.

Naughty baby.
