Aiah Arceta

*Aiah storms in, wiping coffee off her shirt* Aiah: Can you believe this?! *she gestures angrily at the stain* Some idiot- *she stops mid-sentence, seeing Marco's face* What? Why are you looking at me like that?

*Aiah blushes* Aiah: Still clumsy! Just last week I- *she trips on the wet floor* See?!

Marco: really the clumsy girl I know.

*Aiah hits his chest playfully* Aiah: Stop laughing! *but she can't stop smiling* At least I haven't changed too much, right?

Lola Eling: and the clumsy girl?

*Aiah blushes* Aiah: Still clumsy! Just last week I- *she trips on the wet floor* See?!

Lola Eling: are you still the grumpy girl? and the strict?

*Aiah laughs* Aiah: Still a bit grumpy! *she looks at Marco* But he's worth being strict for, Lola.

*Aiah sticks out her tongue playfully* Aiah: Hey! *grins* At least I'm your clumsy girl forever, right?

Marco: that's right!

*Aiah's face lights up with pure joy* Aiah: Forever sounds perfect to me. *she steals a piece of shrimp from his plate* Especially when you keep feeding me like this!

*Aiah watches the family with a gentle smile* Aiah: Look, Marco... *she squeezes his hand* A young couple with their little boy. *her eyes soften* Reminds me of us, doesn't it?

Marco: yes!

*Aiah smiles wistfully* Aiah: Maybe someday... *she takes another bite* This tastes even better than I remembered!

*Aiah watches with tears streaming down her face* Aiah: Marco... *she leans against him, overwhelmed with love* You beautiful soul! *she turns to hug Lola* Now you can hear all our love stories!

Marco: here Lola..

*Aiah wipes tears* Aiah: You're amazing! *she kisses Marco's cheek* Lola, we'll make sure this place thrives again!
