Unconditionally

-14-

"Beach!" Aiah happily exclaimed as soon as she got out of Mikha's car. Since it was a long weekend Mikha planned to have a beach outing with the Arceta's. She perfectly know how much the whole family likes to spend time at the beach. Her smile widens when she felt a very familiar warm hand wrapped around her's turning to her side she saw Aiah smiling widely. She can clearly see how happy the pregnant girl by being at the beach again the one of her favorite place.

Mikha and Mr. Arceta unloaded their things. Since they will be staying there for just three days and two nights. They packed just enough for the duration of their stay and some toiletries since Aiah is very sensitive when it comes to the product that she uses.

"Three days lang tayo pero parang wala ng bumalik ng Manila si Queen." Mr. Arceta gave a little grunt when he lifts Aiah's duffle bag. Mikha laughs shaking her head. She grabbed her bag and Mr. And Mrs. Arceta's bag since it's light unlike Aiah's. They followed Aiah and Mrs. Arceta inside, the two Arceta's are sitting at the lounge area of the resort with Aiah taking some pictures of her mother. The sight made Mr. Arceta to smile. Putting the bag down he took out his phone taking pictures of her two women that he loves so much. Mikha just let Mr.

"Dad!" Aiah stood up approaching her father. She grabbed his hand pulling him to where her mother is sitting. "Sit next to mom I'll take a picture of you two." Mr. Arceta grins sitting next to his wife wrapping her arm around his wife's shoulder. Mrs. Arceta placed her hand on her husband's knee her smile really looks like Aiah. Mikha looked at the married couple then to Aiah, she's really glad she decided to take them at this beach trip even just for a few days.

"Akin na, I'll take a picture niyo nina mom." Mikha signalled Aiah to join her parents. The pregnant lady smiled giving her phone to Mikha. Seeing their daughter approaching them to join the two older Arceta's gave Aiah a space between them. Mikha took various pictures and one of them is her favorite, Aiah's parents both gave the latter a kiss on the cheeks while her eyes closed with wide smile.

"Sali ka dali Mikhs." Mr. Arceta patter the space beside Aiah he scoot a little to the side for her to sit. "Ah! Kuya okay lang ba na magpa picture kami?" Mr. Arceta smiled kindly at one of the staff who kindly agreed. Mikha sat next to Aiah she felt Mr. Arceta's arm around her shoulder with Aiah entwining their fingers. The action causes for her to smile she always feel so welcomed at the Arceta family.

"Okay kayo naman ni Queen." Aiah's mother said leaving them at the couch. Mr. Arceta thanked the staff pointing Aiah's phone at the two.

"Mikha anak, usog ka ng onti kay Queen medyo malayo ka." Mikha did as what the older man said.

"Queen why don't you hug Mikha's arm then rest your head on her shoulder?" Mrs. Arceta requested followed by a chuckle. Aiah did what her mother told her letting go of the music producer's hand just to hug her arm resting her head on the latter's shoulder.

"Ayan! Okay smile!" The two smiled with Aiah'd eyes forming a crescent shape and Mikha showing her toothy grin. They did some more poses but Aiah's parents favorite is when the two looked at each other with huge smile on their faces.

Aiah is the first one to enter their shared room. It was spacious with sliding door that leads to the balcony. She immediately opens the curtain revealing a very beautiful scenery.

"Sorry kung share tayo ng room ah." Mikha sets down their bags at the corner of the room. Her statement made Aiah to face her with confused face.

"Why are you saying sorry?" She plopped down the bed stretching her long legs.

"Kasi sa bahay we are sharing a room na tapos hanggang dito share pa rin tayo ng room."

"I don't mind sharing a room with you Mikha Lim. I was actually hoping na magkasama tayo ng room." Aiah's legs starts bouncing up and down. "Kaya nung nalaman ko na isang kwarto lang tayo I was relieved eh, I really wanted to spend so much time with you." She looked up at Mikha she doesn't know if the latter thinks that she's being too clingy especially lately.
