"What are we doing here?" Anna asked as she looks around the place. Everything is so green and beautiful. In fact, the word "beautiful" is not enough to describe this place. The only thing that Anna is not happy about is that the sun is not as bright as it was earlier.It would have been better if she and Kyle arrived at this place much earlier so see can see the vibrant of this place under the bright sun.
"I want to introduce you to this place. This place has always been where my father, my grandfather, and my ancestors go to whenever they ask their woman an important question. You could say that it"s a family tradition." Kyle explained, but Anna is still confused. Why would he introduce her to this place? This place should be kept hidden from outsiders, is it not?
"What the connection between me and this place, hmm?" As Anna asked that question, she started to stride her way towards the nearby bench.
She sat on the bench. While she is sitting down, she saw the sun slowly going down. Despite her little complaint from earlier, the view that she is having now is breathtaking. This much more beautiful than the other place Kyle took her to months ago.
Before answering Anna"s question, Kyle sat right next to her, then he took out a small box from his pocket. Anna noticed the small box and is more confused when Kyle handed it to her.
She is about to ask another question, but Kyle"s sudden caress on her cheek made her look at him in the eyes and is unable to utter a word.
"That connection is simple, I am about to do the same thing. I"m going to ask you a very important question yet." After hearing all the nagging that he gets from his mother and sister, Kyle has finally decided to do the one thing that he"s been wanting to do for a long time.
He has enough wait. He already racked his brain thinking when and where will he ask the question. He is so thankful for his uncle Alfonso for telling him where the runway show is going to happen. If Alfonso had not mentioned the place, he would have never remembered this place that he is currently at.
Hearing that from Kyle, Anna suddenly felt her heart beating fast. She has a vague idea of what he is about to ask, but she doesn"t want to think that is the case because she doesn"t want to feel disappointed in the end.
"I know it took me a long time, but I"m finally gonna say it. I"m afraid that the more a prolong this, the more risk it is of losing you to another guy." Whenever he sees Anna talking to another man, Kyle has this unbearable imagination that one of those guys will take Anna away from him. With extreme seriousness clear in his eyes, he looks at her and asks the important question, "So Anna, will you accept me as your boyfriend?"
Kyle knows that it"s not as extravagant as what Erik told him to do, but the more he thinks about it, Anna suits this kind of preparation more. Sometimes, simplicity is the best weapon he can always have.
At long last, Anna"s wait has finally fruited into something great. If she had waited for much longer, she might be the one asking Kyle to be his girlfriend. She thinks that it would be embarra.s.sing for her to do that, but she has no patience. She wants to make things official so that she can claim that no one is allowed to take Kyle away from her.
While waiting for Anna to reply, Kyle suddenly felt more nervous than before. It"s been seconds, but there are still no words coming out of Anna"s mouth. All he can see is that Anna is staring at him.
"Is she hesitation? Did I ask way too soon? What should I do?" Kyle nervously asked himself.
Three seconds later, tears suddenly appeared in her face, and that even made things worse for Kyle. He doesn"t know what to do anymore. He thinks that he said something wrong and really is wis.h.i.+ng now that he had not asked that question.
"Anna... if-" Kyle was about to say that he can wait for Anna"s reply, but he was cut off by that very person. He felt his lips touched by hers. He was surprised at that attack that he was in a daze for seconds.
"Yes! Of course! I have been waiting for you to ask that!" Anna already has the answer to that question a long time ago, the only thing that was waiting was Kyle. If she didn"t give him the answer now, then she will have to wait for a perfect to say her reply, and as she said before, she had enough of waiting.
Hearing that reply, Kyle could not contain himself and hugs Anna tightly. Now that Anna officially his, there is no way he will ever let go of her. And if anybody would try to break them apart, they will pay for it dearly.

In Alfonso"s side, he is currently grinning from ear to ear. He could not contain the excitement inside him, so he keeps. .h.i.tting Mike"s shoulder.
"I"m so happy for them! I feel like I"m gonna cry!" Alfonso exclaimed.
"I can"t believe that you put these tiny camera"s on that place just to spy on Anna and Kyle"s date. Isn"t that a bit too much?" Mike and Alfonso are currently facing a computer, showing a real-time view of what is currently happening between Kyle and Anna. They are at the part when Anna kissed Kyle.
"I know it"s too much, but I just couldn"t contain my curiosity. Kyle is after all my nephew, and that nephew of mine has little experience when it comes to love!" Yesterday night, Alfonso made his a.s.sistant put Mike"s tiny camera"s all over that place, and thankfully, these cameras are tiny or else, Kyle and Anna would have discovered it and everything would be ruined. "Good thing that you made these cameras so perfectly. If you had not, I wouldn"t be able to hear every word that they are saying." Alfonso added.
"I know that I"m supposed to be this s.a.d.i.s.tic, annoying, I-don"t-give-d.a.m.n type of a guy, but this is... this is just way too much. This is rude to Anna and Kyle, you know? I"m speechless at you, Alfonso." Mike wouldn"t deny that he was curious about how Kyle will ask the question, but he certainly would not do it the way Alfonso is doing it.
Alfonso didn"t respond to Mike, all of his focus is on what he is seeing on his computer screen. After this, he going to send a copy of this moment to his sister.
It is supposed to be Kyle"s job to say to his parents that he and Anna are now an official couple. But as far as Alfonso knows about Kyle, he is sure that Kyle will not share such a joyous announcement. As Kyle"s caring uncle, Alfonso will gladly take over that job.
"What am I gonna do? I"m so happy for them." He muttered to himself, but Mike heard it loud and clear.
Mike sighed at Alfonso, then his glance at Alexandre who is currently sucking on his pacifier. He went and sat near the little guy and said, "Kid, I wish you all the best because I know that in the future, your father will do this again, and when he does it again, his target is going to be you."
Mike already feels bad for Alexandre"s future, but there is nothing he can do about it. Even if he tries to stop Alfonso from doing this again, Alfonso can always find another way to achieve his goal. That is how crafty Alfonso is.
"Oh come on! Don"t say that to my child!" Alfonso already knows that what he is doing is bad, and he certainly has no intention of doing the same for his child because he trusts Alexandre.

"Anna, Kyle, you both are here now. If you two didn"t eat dinner yet, then come with me, Mike is waiting." Alfonso sounded normal. But on the inside, he is trying so hard to not tease either Anna or Kyle. It"s not the right time yet to tease them, he has to wait until everyone knows about their relations.h.i.+p.
With a surprised look on her face, Anna asks, "Uncle Mike is here? When?"
Mike"s sudden appearance is quite a shock and suspicious in Anna"s perspective. During this time of the year, she knew that Mike is currently busy with his business. If Mike is here, Anna thinks that there must be an emergency happening in the organization.
"After you two went out on your date. He said that he has business matter here so he decided to stop by and see me." Alfonso lied. He doesn"t want Anna to think about anything else other than the fact that she and Kyle are now an official couple.
