Intro. Title: "Eight Years of Almost" Maraiah “Aiah” Arceta and Mikhael Lim have been best friends since childhood—a bond built on laughter, loyalty, and a thousand shared memories. But everything changed when Mikhael confessed his love for her. For eight long years, Mikhael has been courting Aiah with unwavering devotion, showing up with flowers, handwritten notes, and a heart full of hope. But every day feels like a quiet rejection. Aiah either ignores him or shuts him down in front of the entire campus, leaving Mikhael humiliated but still hopelessly in love. To others, his persistence is foolish. To him, it’s love. To Aiah—it’s something she’s never dared to confront.
