Miguel's POV: "You're too slow, brother-in-law! Why don't you find a way to soften my sister's heart again?" Ken yelled at me. Her father, Meriam, and Ken were all supporting me to win her back again. I know Aira has given me many chances, but this time, I am determined. "I can't rush your sister. I've caused her too much trauma, and time won't just heal that," I replied to Ken. "I think Ate still loves you; she's just going through a tough time right now," Ken said, patting my shoulder. Ken left me pondering at my desk. Sir James gave me a position in a department, albeit lower-ranked, but I'm keeping up. I enjoy my job and find happiness every day when I see Aira. It's like I'm back in my childhood, having a crush that I'm unsure will reciprocate. I watch her from afar, teasing her to get her attention. I'm glad when she gets annoyed because for a moment, I'm the only thing on her mind. I hope for the day when we can all be happy together. "Is the work done?" Sir James snapped

"Who do you think is sending you flowers and food?" Raven asked me. I just shrugged, genuinely unaware of who it could be. I had no interest in finding out either way. I don't eat what he sends but also don't waste it. "You know, from now on, you should forget about the past. You deserve to be happy. Life is passing you by!" Raven advised. I snorted dismissively. I wasn't keen on making new acquaintances or finding a new romantic interest. "You really have nothing! I wonder if you're numb or just heartless," Raven commented further. We're in the office now, working, even though it's pretty boring because everything is running smoothly. Our employees handle their jobs well. "Bored?" Raven asked. "I'm fine," I replied simply. "Miracle!" he commented sarcastically. "I'm just tired. It feels like my body is searching for something else," I said sadly. "That's love life! Keep yourself entertained," Raven said. "Who should I entertain?" I asked. "Miguel?" Raven suggested. I shoo

Maple leaves are often seen as symbols of love and loyalty. That phrase kept coming to my mind as I held the necklace that Miguel had given me. "Hoooo!" Raven startled me. "What?" I pretended to be annoyed by the surprise. "You've been lost in thought for three days now, fiddling with that necklace. What's the story behind it? I only noticed you wearing it today," he asked. I didn't respond, just snorted. "Oh my gosh! Let me guess," Raven said, touching his chin. "It's from Miguel?" He said enthusiastically, raising his index finger. "Is it that obvious?" I asked, furrowing my brow. "So it is from Miguel?!" He exclaimed, moving closer to me. "Oh wow! A maple leaf pendant! How lovely!" He continued to exclaim excitedly. I frowned at him. "Did you know that maple leaves symbolize love and loyalty?" He added, clearly happy and excited for us. "So, did Miguel declare his love to you? Did you accept?" He asked, then pulled up a chair to sit closer to me, eager to gossip. "Nope.

There was darkness around him when he woke up, with a view from his window of the surroundings appearing damp. It might rain overnight. Aira, feeling lazy due to the weather, got up just to freshen up. While brushing his teeth, he saw his own reflection in the mirror and noticed his puffy eyes—a consequence of not sleeping well the previous night. Despite returning home late, sleep had eluded her. She pondered how she truly felt about Miguel. She acknowledged all of Miguel's efforts—his changed demeanor, thoughtfulness, and dedication. She sensed that he genuinely loved her. However, she couldn't find love for him in her heart. She couldn't figure out if it was due to past trauma or if she simply didn't feel anything more. "Ugh, Aira! If you don't like someone, just stop it. Leading him on when you have no intention of committing isn't fair," she scolded herself while poking at her reflection in the mirror. After finishing up in the bathroom, he walked out. "I didn't tell him ther

"I was unproductive at the office all day because I couldn't focus. My mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Miguel Ice. "What's bothering you?" Raven asked, concerned. "Nothing," I replied simply. "Are you sure? You've been sitting there all day, deep in thought. What's on your mind?" Raven inquired. "Nothing! Just forget it!" I grabbed my bag, about to leave when someone opened the door. We both looked over. I wish I hadn't seen who it was. "Is that you? You're early today," Raven asked the newcomer curiously. "I always leave at this time," he replied. "Why do you look upset?" He came over to me. "Let's go." He took my bag and left immediately. I couldn't even say goodbye to Raven in the rush. "Wait!" I exclaimed, unable to keep up with his fast pace. "Why?" He looked at me and stopped. "What's wrong?" he asked, worried. "Can you slow down?" I saw surprise in his eyes, so I repeated, "Stop what you're doing." Instead of answering, he led me to a café inside the building, as
