STRINGS || MIKHAIAH

CHAPTER 28

Aiah rolled up her sleeves and there Gian saw Aiah's bruises. May mga scar pa ito.

"Holy shit Aiah..." Gian said in surprise.

"As much as I wanted to leave him. Ayokong makita siyang nag iisa. I know na ngayon lang to dahil sobrang daming pressure sa kanya. Dad also pressures him lalo na kaninang napanood namin sa TV si Mikhael." Aiah said.

Gian was about to speak nang biglang may nag door bell sa pinto nito. It was the delivery guy.

Gian prepared the food first and gave Aiah the vanilla ice cream.

"How'd you know my favorite ice cream flavor?" takang tanong ni Aiah dito.

"Someone told me na vanilla ang favorite mo." Gian said then smiled.

"Huh? Sino?" Takang tanong ni Aiah sa kaibigan.

"Mikhael..." Gian said while opening his food.

"H-how? Ang tagal na nilang hindi nag paparamdam sa atin." Aiah said.

"We stayed in touch. He's using a new social media accounts na dahil a lot of people are bugging him." Gian said.

"How is he?" Aiah asked.

"Uy curious, miss mo?" Gian teasingly said.

"Nag tatanong lang miss agad?" Aiah said.

"De joke lang. He's doing fine, this is the photo he sent me." Gian said and showed the photo of Mikhs, Maloi, and Kyler.

"Who is the kid?" Aiah said at may kaba sa dibdib nito.

"No idea." Gian said as he took a bite of his food.

"May anak na sila...?" Aiah asked herself.

"They look so happy..." Aiah said while looking at the photo.

"They are. Sobrang successful na nilang dalawa. I admire their dedication lalo na si Mikhs sobrang hands on sa work." Gian said proudly.

"He changed a lot though. Hindi na siya ganoon ka sungit tignan." Aiah said then let out a small giggle.

"Yun nga eh. Marunong na din pumose sa camera." Gian said and the both of them laughed.

After a long day of work, Mikhs finally went home. As usual, Maloi will wait for him in the living room para salubungin ito ng halik. This time kasama niya si Kyler.

"Daddy!!!" Kyler said running to Mikhs. Until now, Mikhs is curious bakit daddy ang tawag nito sa kanya.

"Kuya sorry, picture mo kasi yung ginamit ko sa kanya nung hinahanap niya daddy niya eh." Mia said shyly.

"It's alright Mia, I can be this tough guy's uncle and dada." Mikhs said at kinarga si Kyler.

"How's your day love?" Maloi greeted Mikhs.

"Tiring love pero hindi na ako pagod kasi andyan ka na." Mikhs said then gave Maloi a peck on her lips.

"Ang tamis naman." Mia said while smiling.

"Ganyan si Kuya mo. Magaling mag pa kilig." Maloi said then laughed.

"Kyler come here. Tito Dad will rest na." Mia said at kinuha si Kyler dito.

"Kamusta lakad niyo today?" Mikhs asked as he removes his clothes.

"Sobrang enjoy po kuya. Pinag shopping po kami ni Ate Maloi nakakahiya nga po eh." Mia said.

"Mia ano ka ba, I told you kapatid na din kita. Wag ka nang mahihiya okay?" Maloi said then smiled.

"How about my interview? Did you guys watch?" Mikhs said at kunwaring nag tataray ito.
