Miko recalled the meticulous process Lola Clara had taught him. She had always emphasized the importance of patience and love in creating the perfect Minasa. "Remember, apo, the key is to put your heart into it," Lola Clara had said, her hands guiding his with gentle precision. With each fold and press, Miko imagined the joy his Minasa would bring to those who tasted it.

It's made with love," he urged, offering a warm smile to each passerby. The first batch of Minasa was ready, and as he handed out the biscuits, he felt a surge of pride and accomplishment.

With a heart full of hope, he whispered to the night sky, "I'll keep dreaming, and I'll keep trying." The journey had only just begun, and Miko was ready to embrace whatever came next.
