Chapter 1 New Life, New York

Mary's Point of View

It's been weeks since the accident and the death of Kuya Michael. Alyssa has bee
n recovering at ngayon
ay nakalabas na siya ng hospital. Nung nilibing si Kuya Michael, the hospital al
lowed Alyssa to go and the
scene was so heartbreaking. I've never seen someone cry that hard.

It has been weeks pero wala parin progress with Alyssa not physically but emotio
nally. She's a wreck.
Wala siyang kinakausap and she just kept on staring outside the window. She does
n't have any
motivation to live and that's where Jenny comes along. Jenny keeps on letting he
r watch the video
Kuya Michael took. At sa tuwing pinapanood yun ni Alyssa, she'll cry hystericall
y at sobra akong
nasasaktan tuwing nakikita ko si Alyssa na ganun. She blames herself for it.

JC has been visiting pero hindi siya pinapansin ni Alyssa, well wala naman talag
ang pinapansin si Alyssa, it's
like we're all a ghost or air for her. There's nothing we could do except to be
there for her and that's
what I'll be doing dahil kung dati wala ako sa tabi ng pinsan ko ngayon nandito
na ako.

"Gab nakita mo ba si Alyssa?" I asked Gab who was sitting at the couch in the li
ving room, reading a
newspaper. He looked up to me and shook his head. Since the accident, Gab has be
en here for us, for me,
pero we haven't talked about us, kung ano ba kami. Sure he was there when I left
the altar pero
kami na ba? At ano bang mangyayari with us?

Hindi ko muna yun tinatanong dahil what's important is Alyssa and not my relatio
nship with Gab dahil
alam kong mahal ko siya at mahal niya ako, sa ngayon si Alyssa muna.

Umupo ako sa tabi niya and I sighed "She's not in her room." I said.

Kinuha ni Gab yung kamay ko and squeezed it and smiled at me "Maybe nasa garden
lang siya." he
said "Nandito lang yun."
I rested my head on Gab's shoulder "Maybe." I said and closed my eyes. I'm so ti
red na kasi simula
kahapon, I've been with Alyssa hindi ako umalis sa tabi niya dahil nga hindi ko
naman alam kung suicidal
ba siya o ano.

"Where's Alyssa?" biglang dating ni JC at nagtanong agad siya.

Napaupo naman ako ng maayos and looked at him and just shrugged. "I looked for h
er pero wala siya." JC
added. "And your car is gone." he said to Gab

Gab immediately stood up at hinanap siguro yung susi niya. "Shit." he murmured.
"Try calling her."

We were panicking, Alyssa is not in a good state to drive, or to go anywhere wit

hout us! We tried
calling her pero naiwan lang dito yung phone niya, and then it hit me, saan ba p
wedeng pumunta si
Alyssa, of course pupuntahan niya si Kuya Michael, she's been asking for it.

So we drove to the cemetery and nagmadali kaming pumunta sa puntod ni Kuya Micha
el with an extra
umbrella kasi umuulan ng malakas. And we were right nandun nga siya, napatigil k
ami sa paglapit sa
kanya or we could say na natigil si JC kaya natigil din kami ni Gab.

"Come back to me please." Alyssa cried. She was sitting to the grass and just cr
ying there in front of
Kuya Michael's grave "Please come back. Diba sabi mo forever? Diba walang iwanan
bakit mo ako iniwan?
Please Michael come back to me. Hindi ko kaya eh. I miss you so much." she cried
.

And tears just kept falling from my eyes. I can't see this. Hindi ko kayang maki
ta na ganito yung pinsan
ko, hindi ko kaya kasi nasasaktan ako. "Michael please, nagmamakaawa ako sayo bu
malik ka na. You
promised to spend the lifetime with me. Why did you leave me Michael? Please com
e back to me, come
back to me alive."
Dahan dahan lumapit si JC kay Alyssa, I know that he's badly hurt, mahal niya si
Alyssa, at nangako
siya kay Michael na aalagan niya ito, na hindi niya ito iiwan pero napakahirap n
g pinapagawa sa kanya ni
Kuya Michael. "I love you so much Michael." natigilan si JC sa paglalakad. Pero
saglit lang yun at
nagpatuloy ulit siya.

Agad niyang pinayongan si Alyssa at tinignan siya ni Alyssa "Conrad?" she called
him "Why won't he come
back to me?" she asked "Hindi na ba niya ako mahal?" lumapit ako kay Gab and sum
andal lang ako sa
kanya.

Lumuhod si JC and he forced a smile "Mahal na mahal ka niya Alyssa that's why yo
u have to live for
him." he told her but she shook her head "Please Alyssa, try to live, not for me
or your family but for
Michael." again she shook her head. "He died for you."

"I never asked him to. I wanted him here by my side."

Binitawan ni JC yung payong at niyakap niya agad si Alyssa "He's always there by
your side, he's in your
heart."

"I don't want to forget him."

"You won't. You'll live your life for him so let's go home."

Alyssa nodded at dahan dahan siyang tinayo ni JC "Conrad take me to New York."
When Alyssa decided to go back to New York, I decided to come along. Sympre ganu
n din si Gab. Ayaw
pa akong pasamahin ni JC dahil nga daw I have a company to run but I can't leave
my cousin alone.
And I haven't even gone to that building anymore dahil natatakot akong makita si
James. I
embarrassed him in front of so many people.
Even Tito Ronald was disappointed in me dahil sa ginawa ko, our wedding was the
biggest wedding in the
business world and I made it a laughingstock but I was just following my heart.
I love Gab and it was
all worth it.

Nandito ako ngayon sa bahay namin to prepare my things for New York, I'll stay t
here until I know
Alyssa's fine. I'll put my life on hold for Alyssa. Simula nung kasal, I never w
ent back to the condo unit
kung saan kami dati nakatira ni James, it was mine but I still can't. Siguro pag
may time na I'd sell
it.

Pagbaba ko, sinalubong ako nung maid at nasa garden daw si Tito and so nagpunta
ako dun at nandun
nga si Tito Ronald. I kissed him sa cheeks as a greeting at pinaupo niya ako.

"Sasama ka daw sa New York?" he asked.

I nodded "Alyssa need me tito."

"Paano na yung DLN?" he asked about my company with James. Ano nga bang mangyaya
ri dun? I'm sure
James hates me kahit pa sabihin na natin na he did let go of me. We're partners
but we were good
partners dahil once we were a couple pero ngayon na hindi na ano na nga ang mang
yayari? "You can't
forever hide from it Mary."

"I'm still working tito, I let Cassie to send me papers that I have to sign." I
told him. Ganun ang
ginagawa ko ngayon, my assistant is constantly emailing or faxing me the things
that I have to read or
sign. And James is working, I once asked Jewel how's James, she said he's fine b
ut barely living.

Ang ironic nga eh, kasi nung sinasabi niyang mahal niya ako hindi ko siya mapani
walaan pero nung araw ng
kasal and he let me go, dun ko napatunayan na mahal niya ako, na ako na talaga y
ung mahal niya at
hindi si Alyssa. It took him letting me go for me to finally realize that what w
e have was indeed ours.
I don't regret giving my 8 years to him because I was happy with him and I did l
ove him pero siguro
nga pag true love na ang pinaguusapan, it's not about the time we spend together
or the memories but
the love itself. I loved James with all my heart but with Gab I didn't need to t
ry and learn to love
him again kasi hindi siya nawala sa puso ko.

"Mary, I do want you to be happy alam mo yan diba pero until now I don't get it
why you have to
leave James in the middle of the ceremony." he said "You could have called it of
f days before the
wedding." he continued "Hindi lang si James ang pinahiya mo pati na din ang pami
lya natin."

I hold my tears off. Ayokong umiyak. I wanted to call it off, God knows how much
I wanted to leave
James pero hindi eh, hindi ko nagawa kasi natakot akong magisa, Gab was happy wi
th Elaine at paginiwan
ko pa si James, sino nalang ang matitira sa akin. I was ready to marry James, I
was pero when I
heard Gab stopped the wedding, I knew what I had to do; be selfish and follow my
heart. And I did.

"I'm so sorry Tito. I.... mahal ko si Gab tito."

"I know you do. It has always been him for you, ayaw mo lang aminin and it took
you both that
wedding to realize na hindi niyo kayang mawala ang isa't isa." Tito said at luma
pit ako sa kanya at
niyakap ko siya. "Sana lang Mary, pagkinasal kayo ni Gab don't make that kind of
scene anymore." he
lightly chuckled.

"I won't."
A day later, Alyssa, JC, Gab, Jenny and I flew to New York to let Alyssa start h
er new life, a life she
would be living for Kuya Michael's sake. It was time for her to live.

When we were in New York, we roamed the city, Alyssa was slowly getting her life
back. But of course
hindi parin tulad nung nagkasama sila ni Kuya Michael siguro hindi na namin ito
mababalik pero at least
she's making progress.
Tama nga si JC, New York was Alyssa's safe haven. It was her escape from everyth
ing that has been
crashing her.

Alyssa s parents are slowly reconciling and nakakatuwa dahil tita who had always b
een cold to Alyssa
started getting back to Alyssa s heart, and also tito s. Natutuwa ako kasi slowly he
r family is finally
being whole again. Alam kong masaya si Alyssa para sa dad niya who has always be
en in love with tita,
pero nga dahil dun sa nangyari kay Kuya Anton, they got separated kahit pa mahal
nila ang isa t isa and
now they re slowly getting along.
New York seems to be a good place to start a new life, not just for Alyssa but f
or everyone around
her, even her family.

Chapter 2 Milan, I love You

Alyssa's doing fine kaya kailangan ko na din ayusin yung sa company works ko. Si
nce I'm out of the
country na naman, ako nalang yung nagpasyang pumunta sa Europe especially around
Italy, we're a
travel agency so sympre, kailangan magisip ng mga new packages and everything. I
need to talk with
resorts and hotels around Europe for exclusivity with our company.

James is handling the local affairs while handle our international one dahil nga
ako yung wala sa Manila.
Me and James? We're fine, I mean naguusap kami sa phone pero sympre about work l
ang yun. I don't
wanna ask him if he's fine dahil napaka-insensitive naman ata nun diba?

Of course, Gab joined my trip to Europe. He said na it's like a vacation na din
daw at isa pa he's jobless!
Remember he's supposed to be in New York pero he didn't go dahil pinigilan niya
yung kasal ko? Yeah. Tito
Ronald hasn't given him back his job but I think he wants to have this own compa
ny.
He once joked nung napagusapan namin kung anong gagawin niya since wala nga siya
ng work, he said na
pwede naman siyang makipag-partner sa amin ni James with DLN Line, it wasn't fun
ny. Sympre kami pa
nga lang ni James ngayon, it's awkward paano pag nadagdag pa siya diba? Baka ma
bankrupt ang
company dahil hindi kami magsisipasukan para lang hindi kami magkitakita. And hi
s joke was mean and
insensitive.
I don't know his plans pa pero like he told me, he really doesn't want to work u
nder anyone anymore,
he wants to be his own boss. So I recommended him to build his own IT firm, I'm
sure Tito would love
to fund him. Ganun kasi ang tito ko, yung bang tinutulungan niya yung mga starti
ng company para
umangat, katulad nung amin ni James.

And of course nung sinuggest ko sa kanya yun, sabi ko kumuha din siya ng mga par
tners, and of course I
recommended Harry and Mat. They're both IT grad so tama lang yun and I'm sure gu
sto din nilang
magkasariling firm. Gab said he'd think about it.

Sympre, it's risky dahil paano pag hindi naging success diba? He'd lost everythi
ng. At malaki na naman ang
salary niya with JP so ayun he's really thinking about it.

"Saan mo gustong pumunta?" Gab asked me.

I was looking to some papers Cassie faxed me last night, nilapag ko ito sa table
, we're staying at Armani
Hotel Milano here at Milan, it's free dahil this hotel is one of our client. "I'
m not sure. It's a done deal
with the three hotels here in Milan, then I have to go to Paris and Prague."

Gab lightly laughed "I mean habang nandito tayo sa Milan, saan mo gustong mamasy
al?"

"Ahh.." I said "Well Jenny asked me for pasalubong and mom would want me to buy
her some designer
brand so let's hit the Quadrilatero d'Oro." I said "Ooh.." I got excited nung na
g sink in na sa akin na
mamasyal kami "I've never seen the Last Supper!"

He smiled at me "Then we'll go to Santa Maria Della Grazie first tas shopping?"

"Forget shopping Gab. Gusto kong mag sightseeing! I've never been in Milan for p
leasure!" Sabi ko sa kanya.
He raised his eyebrows sa sinabi ko "Ok. Ok. Mom and I used to go shopping here.
" I surrendered. When I
was still a teenager mom and I would go to Milan or Paris to shop kasi there's t
his sale every year
especially sa Paris. "But still I've never been here with you. And it would be r
eally a pleasure strolling
along down the streets with you."

He smiled again "We'll do whatever you want today."

I grinned. Napakaswerte ko talaga kay Gab! "I do love you, you know that?" I sai
d.

"Do you?" He smiled "Para kasing gagawin mo lang akong tour guide pati personall
y shopper mo eh."

"Isn't it how you show someone you love him?"

"Pag pala mahal mo, kailangan gagawin mong slave para ipakita na mahal mo ito?"
he chuckled.

"Of course! Ano pang saysay kung mamahalin mo siya tas nasa tabi tabi lang siya
at walang ginagawa?
Might as well use loving him as a tool!"

"I'm offended." he acted hurt "I'm just your tool?"

I laughed "I love you Gab."

"I love you more." he said seriously.

We got ready then we decided to roam Milan na. And just what we planned we first
visited the Last
Supper, grabe lang talaga ang galing galing talaga ni Da Vinci. We visited almos
t all of the Cathedrals,
Duomo, it was so big and all.
We were inside Duomo and we were praying. Pero I made a wish nung pumasok kami,
diba kasi sabi nila
pag first time mo sa isang Church you can have one wish? Parang halos lahat ata
ngayon ng Church na
pinuntahan namin, nag wish ako.

Sa lahat ng Church I wished for one thing ayun yung sana maging ok na ulit si Al
yssa at sana kung
nasaan man si Kuya Michael masaya siya dun.

Pero here at Duomo, I wished for something different. I wished that it would be
me and Gab forever.
Na sana kami na talaga at wala ng hahadlang pa. I wished for happily ever after
with Gab. Corny but
I do believe in happily ever after, and I do hope it's with Gab dahil ramdam ko
sakanya yun. What we
have is true love and nothing beats true love.

Lumabas kami ng Duomo and he held my hand and squeezed it at naglakad kami ng ma
gkaholding hands.
Since my wedding, I asked ano nga ba kami ni Gab kasi hindi namin ito napapagusa
pan, pero ngayon I
don't need labels. Hindi ko kailangan yun. All I need is Gab by my side. Basta a
ng alam ko mahal ko siya.

"Gusto ko ng gelato." I whined

Natawa sa akin si Gab "Alright." naglakad na kami and we went to RivaReno for ge
lato, they have the
best gelato.

Umupo kami sa table namin and ate the gelato. I wanted more than one scoop pero
sympre Gab being
Gab isa lang daw muna at bibili nalang ulit kami. "I so love gelato." I said
"I don't get it." Sabi ni Gab "It's just ice cream. Parehas lang sila ng lasa."

I raised my eyebrow "Which is?"

"Matamis!" He exclaimed "Pinaarte lang ang tawag sa gelato and because it's in I
taly but still it's just
Italian ice cream! At pareparehas lang ang ice cream matamis!"

I leaned over tas pinahidan ko siya ng gelato, he looked shocked "That's for ins
ulting ice creams!"

"Really Mary?" Gab asked "Parang bata lang." he said at pinunasan na niya yung g
elato sa mukha niya.

"And yet you still love me." I smirked and ate my gelato.

Gabi na din kami nakabalik sa hotel and Gab just ordered room service dahil I wa
s so tired from walking
at ayoko ng pumunta sa mga restaurants. I just want to eat in the bed and watch
TV. Gab decided
to take a shower habang wala pa yung food.

Ako naman I grabbed the remote and decided to watch Italian shows, I may not be
fluent in their
language but hey nakakaintindi naman ako!

Suddenly my phone rang so sympre I answered it without even looking. "Hello?" I

greeted.

"Mary!"
"Jen!" I rose up from lying flat on the bed excited to talk with Jenny. She's st
ill in New York with
Alyssa eh . "How are you diyan?"

"Fine." she answered "Eh ikaw? Kamusta naman kayo ni Gab?" she asked.

"Fine?"
"Magiging maid of honor na ba ulit ako?"

Napaupo ako sa sinabi ni Jenny. Maid of honor? Kasal? I haven't even thought of
that. Dun din ba kami
darating ni Gab? "Hindi pa namin napapagusapan."

"Hindi pa siya nagpropropose?" she sounded shocked.

"Nope. I don't even know what we are."

"Duh. Kayo na! Malay mo he's just finding the perfect time to propose. Hey say y
es agad ah."

I laughed "Of course naman diba! Pinili ko nga siya eh!" I said "Kwento ka naman
."

"Oh right. Alyssa dragged me to some fertility clinic!" pagkukwento niya. "Ewan
ko sa babaeng yun but
ayun we went to that clinic and had me tested. And guess what I have more eggs t
han an average
28 woman!" she laughed.

Fertility clinic? "You should go and have you checked. Some woman daw kasi tend
not to ovulate at time
at nahihirapan with pregnancy. And sabi din na sometimes women in late 20's tend
to you know, lose
more eggs."
I was suddenly taken. I wanted to laugh at her dahil I'm still young, we're stil
l young to talk about
those things I mean, wala pa nga kami sa 30 eh and we're talking about fertility
and pregnancy? Pero
a part of me wanted to know too.

"Nah. I'm healthier than you kaya kampante na ako kung sinabi mong you have more
eggs than the
average!" I faked a laugh. I wasn't.
"Sabagay. Hey gotta go." Jenny said. "I miss you Mary."

"Miss you too Jen."

The next day, I told Gab na may pupuntahan ako and he doesn't need to come with
me, last night
kasi through the internet I scheduled for a checkup. I just wanted to make sure.
Because I want to
have a big family with Gab.

"Buongiorno." bati sa akin nung nurse and I greeted her too.

The doctor started the tests and everything. Sabi niya it would take two hours f
or the result to come
back so sabi ko paglalakad lakad muna ako.

"Grazie." I said and she nodded.

Dahil hindi ako makapakali so ayun I strolled around the streets, ate gelato and
nung two hours na I
went back to the clinic. I was directed to the office of the doctor.

She held a serious face and that made me shiver. Kanina she was cheery and all,
now why the sudden
seriousness? And when I was seated, she started rambling about things connected
to fertility and being
infertile and all.
And then she cut from the bushes and told me the news. And it almost broke me.
Chapter 3 Paris, Marry me

Gabriel's Point of View

Mary has been weird ever since she got back dun sa pinuntahan niya in Milan, for
10 years I've been
with her kaya I know her and alam kong may tinatago siya sa akin. I know somethi
ng is wrong,
nakikita ko yun, but hindi ko kayang itanong sa kanya dahil natatakot ako.

Natatakot ako na baka kami ang mali. Na baka naisip niya na mali pala na pinili
niya ako. Natatakot ako
dahil hindi ko na ata na hindi siya makasama pang habangbuhay dahil mahal ko siy
a. Sobra. Ayokong
magtanong dahil natatakot ako sa sagot niya. Baka hindi ko kayanin.

We're in Paris now and dito ako nagplaplan to propose to her, Paris has been her
favorite city and diba
Paris is the city of love kaya I know it would be romantic. I might not be able
to give her the dream
wedding dahil James already gave her that then sana lang with the proposal it wo
uld be magical.

Ang gay pero pagdating kay Mary, I would always be this cheesy crazy in love guy
. I contemplated on
where I should propose. I first thought it would be so romantic if I proposed on
the top of the Eiffel
Tower but then again, hindi ako ganun kayaman to rent the tower for the whole ni
ght. Then I
thought of the Louvre Museum, Mary loved arts and I would propose to her in fron
t of the La belle
jardinire or Mona Lisa pero again, too touristy. I couldn't also rent the whole m
useum or even the hall.
I don't want crowds gusto ko kaming dalawa lang.

So I decided to rent a river boat for us to have our own private tour of the cit
y at night. So ayun in
the morning we would tour the museums then at night we'd go to the Seine river t
o ride the boat I
charted. I do hope it will rain, I know kasi na ang mga girls they love rain so
sana for tonight umulan
to add the magical feeling into it.

I want to propose to her, nang nasa New York kami I bought her the ring. Hindi p
a ako makapag decide
dahil James gave her the ring, that Harry Winston classic was perfect. It fitted
Mary perfectly. It
suited her. I want the ring that I would give to her to be more perfect.
I want to propose, I'm not having second thoughts about her, I'm scared that she
'd turn me down.
She's been acting weird lately and I just want it to be perfect.

James almost gave her the perfect fairy tale, the ring, the 4 engagements, the h
ouse, the wedding. It
was perfect to say the least. At eto ako naiinsecure dahil can I really give her
another fairy tale? Can
I? I'm not as rich as James, I can't give her the grand wedding James gave her,
pero I do want to
give her that. I badly want that.

And the life after I do want to give her the life she deserves. Kaya nga I don't
want to risk my
work at JP dahil they give me the right salary, alam ko right now wala akong tra
baho but Tito Ronald
told me that my job before I accepted the New York transfer would be available t
o me if I want it
again or sa New York ba. Pero I do want my own firm, my own IT firm, Mary has he
r own company
and it is rising. That's why I'm wavering.

If I do decide to build my own IT firm, I still need help from Tito Ronald and m
insan ewan ko pero
ayoko ng tumanggap ng utang na loob from him or Mary's family. Para kasing ang l
abas nun, Mary's the
one giving not me and I'm a man. So gusto ko pag gumawa ako ng sarili kong firm,
I won't need their
help dahil look at DLN Line, they're under the hands of Tito Ronald and I don't
want that. But do I
have a choice?

So when Mary was busy with her stuffs here at Paris, I called Tito Ronald, sino
pa ba ang
makakatulong kundi siya. And I also called Harry Naval. Ang weird dahil I called
him and asked him to be
my partner when I took his twin's bride. Pero Harry is best at his job so I want
him. So when we
come back to Manila, Harry and I would become partners and build a firm together
.
The phone rang so I answered it, wala pa si Mary dahil she has a meeting. "Hello
?"

"Gabriel si Mary?" asked Jenny.

"Meeting."
"Ohh... So have you proposed yet?" she asked.

"I plan to. Pero kasi Mary's been acting a little weird." I told her. She's Mary
's best friend excluding me
so yeah baka alam niya kung bakit.

"Kailan ba hindi naging weird si Mary?" she laughed "She's waiting for it you kn
ow that right?"

"Paano pag ayaw niya?"

She laughed again "Gabriel! Iniwan niya sa altar si James para sayo! Duh! Kung w
eird siya maybe naiinip
na dahil ang tagal mong mag propose! May ring na ba?"

Tama naman siya diba? She left James for me, so why am I feeling this? "Meron na
. It's Cartier."

"Not Harry Winston? Kala ko Harry Winston ka din!"

"Baka maalala lang ni Mary si James pag Harry Winston pa din!" I chuckled. "I do
n't know if it will suit
her."
"It will! Believe me whatever you give her it will be perfect."

"Bakit naman?"

"Because it's from you, her true love." Jenny answered. "Mary said that before.
So wag ka ng ma-
insecure kay James, it was never perfect with James but with you it will be."
"Thanks Jen. Pinalakas mo ang self-esteem ko!"

"Of course. I just want Mary to be happy at kaya mag propose ka na!" Jenny said
"Gotta go Gabriel. Tell
Mary I called. Good luck with the proposal!"

"Thanks bye." I said and hung up.

The next morning, I decided to propose kaya I chartered the river boat and prepa
red na ang lahat for
tonight, we'd go to Museums, then at night at Seine and we'd tour the city by th
e river, and in the
foot of the tower, I'd go on one knee and propose and as if on cue there would b
e fireworks.

Mary was on the bathroom getting dressed for today. So for one last look sa ring
, I breathe deeply. This
is it. This ring will hold our future together.

Sinara ko agad yung box nang nagbukas yung pinto sa bathroom, I placed it on my
pocket and turned to
see Mary, ngumiti ako sa kanya and she smiled at me too. It's almost five months
since the wedding.
Kaya siguro this would be the right time right?

"Ready?" I asked.

She smiled at me "Saan ba tayo ulit pupunta? Cause may pupuntahan pa ako later."
she asked.
"I thought you weren't busy today." I said akala ko kasi free siya for today, pa
ano na yung plano ko
kung hindi?

"I... uhh... something came up and I need to go somewhere later this afternoon."
Mary said weird. Saan
naman siya pupunta? Siguro I looked disappointed and sad kasi she changed her mi
nd "Uhh.. I guess i-
resched ko nalang yun." she weakly smiled. "It's not that even important anymore
." she murmured under
her breath but I still heard it.

What's not important? Ano bang meron?

I smiled at her "Thank you."

So ayun, nag tour kami sa mga museums, she was my little tour guide dahil she al
most knew every piece
lalo na sa Louvre Museum and just what I expected we stopped at the La belle jar
dinire painting. This
was one of her favorites.

After that, we ate at a cafe near the museum, nung hapon na that's where we went
to Seine to
ride the boat. She asked me why but I just shrugged. It was near dusk and it wou
ld be the perfect
time to propose.

I made her sit sa loob muna while the waiter I hired, prepare the table outside.
We talked first and
among all things napagusapan namin yung sa IT firm na gagawin namin ni Harry, sh
e was happy but
there was still a part of her that was sad. I know because I've seen her hide he
r emotions before and
this is one of those times. It made me worried and I wanted to ask her but I sto
pped dahil Mary
would tell me what's bugging her in the right time for her.

"I need to tell you something." Mary said.

"Ano yun?"

"I...." she cut off dahil biglang dumating yung waiter.

"La table est prpare monsieur."

"Merci." I said. Then tinignan ko si Mary "Ano ulit yung sasabihin mo?" I asked

Tumayo siya and weakly shook her head "We can talk about it later." she said and
begun to walk
outside. Nakita ko siyang nakatayo dun sa may table, sakto dahil the boat stoppe
d at nasa foot na
kami ng tower.

I popped the champagne and poured our glasses, I handed her one but she hesitate
d so I put it down
and hand her the macaroons. Sympre she took one. "It's beautiful here." she said
.

"Yeah."

"I'd miss Paris." sabi niya.

"Me too. Pero we can always come back naman eh." I said tumingin siya sa akin wi
th a pained expression
and I didn't see it right away siguro dahil I was caught at the moment. "Una kit
ang nakilala as one of
Love's sidekick when it comes on following me around the campus or even sa labas
din. Tas one night, you
asked kung pwedeng mahiram yung phone ko, I lend it to you, hinatid din kita sa
bahay ni Alyssa,
nakwento mo habang nasa daan tayo yung kay James. Our second meeting was when yo
u came at
that bar again drinking your sorrows. Sa totoo lang sinundan ko talaga si Michae
l nun pero nakita kita
and I knew I had to help you, I had to be there for you. Siguro that night I had
fallen for you, you
were at your worst but still I wanted to heal you. To take away your pain becaus
e at that moment
I didn't realize that you took mine away. You considered me as your best friend
ever since at ayos
lang sa akin basta nasa tabi mo ako, I vowed to never leave you. I've fallen har
d and I'd do anything
for you." I said. Tinigan ko siya ng seryoso.
"That night 8 years ago was probably the happiest time of my life dahil sinabi m
ong mahal mo ako. But
then you had to choose him. Tinanggap ko yun dahil mahal kita, the day we spent
together I knew
when I held you in my arms na wala ng babae pang darating na mamahalin ko katula
d ng pagmmahal
ko sayo. You're exceptional. And now you're here with me. You finally chose me.
After everything we've
been through I know you're the one for me as I am for you. True love waits and I
'm glad I waited
for you to come back. You said love is never too late so tell me now if I came t
oo late for you." I
continued and she shook her head. "I love you so much Mary." I then kneeled in f
ront of her and took
out the ring "Mary, we've known each other for 10 years, I've loved you for 10 y
ears. We've seen each
other at our best and worst moments and kahit gaano ka kaweird I always you see
perfectly. In my
eyes you're perfect. You don't have to dress up to be perfect in front of me kas
i Mary kahit anong
gawin mo you are always perfect. I've been your best friend so Mary will you do
me the honor of
becoming my wife?" I finally asked. "I would be so lucky to have you as my best
friend, wife and the
mother of my children, the light of my household, marry me."

Tears came flowing from her eyes at tinakpan niya agad yung mata niya, and I cou
ldn't read her
expression, hindi ako tumayo dahil I want her to say yes first, and sakto umulan
bigla. Inangat niya
yung ulo niya and she lightly laughed sarcastically.

She was crying. And hindi ko alam kung sa saya o sa lungkot. She then finally lo
oked at me with
determination and pain. She smiled weakly "Can I just be your best friend?" she
asked.

Sa tanong niya alam ko na yung sagot niya. Alam ko na. Tumayo na ako at nagsimul
ang lumapit sa
kanya pero lumayo lang siya. "Hindi. Hindi pwede." I said.

"I...." she started "I cannot marry you."

"Bakit?" I asked, nagsisimula ng tumulo yung mga luha ko "Bakit? Diba ako ang pi
nili mo? Diba ako ang
mahal mo?" I asked "Mahal mo ba ako?"

She looked up to me "I do." she answered. "Sobra kitang mahal na sobra din akong
nasasaktan ngayon.
Pero kailangan. Hindi ako yung babae para sayo Gab."

"Nonsense!" I yelled "Hindi mo ba ako narinig? Sabi ko ikaw lang ang para sa aki
n. Ikaw lang ang babaeng
mamahalin ko! Wala ng iba! Ikaw lang!"

She cried again and shook her head. "I.... I'm so sorry Gab hindi ko kaya." she
cried. "Can't you be my best
friend?"
"Ayoko. Hindi pwede. I want you to be my wife!"

"I CAN'T" she shouted.

"Bigyan mo ako ng isang dahilan kung bakit hindi pwede Mary. Or I swear to God..
."

"I.....I.." she looked at the floor "I.... I'm in love with James!"

I was taken by what she told me "Hindi. Hindi totoo yan." I said "Sabihin mo sa
akin na hindi na ako at
si James talaga. Tell it with your eyes in me not the floor!"

Tumingin siya sa akin, and her expression pained me dahil alam kong she's just l
ying. She's hurting herself
and I don't know why. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. And I want to know, to heal her.
"I.... I..... I... James....
I .... can't." she said and she nagmadali siyang bumaba ng boat.

Hindi ko siya masundan dahil hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Why? Bakit ganun? I k
now she's lying. Hindi
nga niya masabi eh. Pero why is she lying to me? Ano bang meron?

I badly need to know dahil hindi lang ako ang nasasaktan kundi pati siya.
Chapter 4 Prague, I want you

Gabriel's Point of View

Since that night, Mary left. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan niya, Jenny don't know, h
er mom neither. Hindi pa
siya nakakabalik ng Pilipinas dahil her mom asked immigration, so she's somewher
e here in Europe. Hindi ko
alam kung nasaan siya pero hahanapin ko siya.

Hindi ako magsasawang hanapin siya. Kahit pa tinanggihan niya ako, there was a r
eason behind it at
aalamin ko yun. Mahal niya ako, she said so herself.

"Sobra kitang mahal na sobra din akong nasasaktan ngayon. Pero kailangan. Hindi
ako yung babae para
sayo Gab."

She said that. So there's a reason. Pero bakit? Why?

Hindi ako nagpapakatanga dahil alam kong mahal niya ako, alam kong hindi niya ak
o iiwan ng walang
dahilan. I just need to know.

Nasa Paris parin ako because I'm waiting for her to come back on her own. She'd
come back pero still
hinahanap ko siya dito, I've been in every corner here at Paris, and I've looked
around the south of
France pero wala siya.

The phone rang and nagmadali akong sagutin ito. "Mary?" I called.

"Gabriel." It was Jenny. She was worried din dahil pati siya hindi niya alam kun
g bakit umalis si Mary. "Sir
DiLaurentis called na and nakausap na niya yung secretary ni James dahil sobrang
 loyal ni Cassie kay
Mary." she said. "Summer stole Mary's itinerary from Cassie's desk and there's t
his day's schedule."

"Saan?"
"Prague." sagot ni Jenny. "Look Gabriel, don't lose her at Prague dahil that's t
he last schedule of Mary
being known. And the rest was blue meaning time off. She'd be off our radar so d
on't lose her ok?"

"I promise Jen." I said. "Hindi ko lang maisip kung bakit."

Jenny sighed. "Trust her, I know may pagka-weird si Mary at hindi natin alam yun
g tumatakbo sa isip
niya but there must be a reason."

"I know there is." sabi ko "Pero since talaga nung araw na umalis siya sa Milan
she's been acting weird."

"When is that?" Jenny asked. "Because the last I called her sa Milan, she was ex
cited and sabi niya she
would say yes."

Napaisip ako kung kailan ba yun. Ang alam ko that was the day after our tour aro
und Milan. Around the
Cathedrals. Then it hit me. "Day after you called." I said dahil nakwento ni Mar
y na tumawag si Jenny
at kinamusta kaming dalawa. "Umalis siya nun magisa then pagbalik niya I knew sh
e was crying pero sabi
niya sa dust lang daw at napuwing siya."

"Saan siya nagpunta?" Jenny asked.

"I have no idea. Baka nasa sched niya. Pero Jen wala ka bang nasabi sa kanya dah
il to tell you the
truth naging weird din siya nung gabi." as much as I remember, after kong magsho
wer at siya naman sa
phone call with Jenny she was weird, forcing laughter pero halatang may iniisip.

"Wait." Jenny said "You said na nung kinausap ko siya? Well I talked to her abou
t....." she said then
parang may hinahalungkat siyang mga papers must be Mary's schedules. "Gabriel."
she sounded
serious "Mamahalin mo ba si Mary kahit anong mangyari?" she asked.

It made me nervous. "Ou naman."

 "Kahit pa..... kahit pa hindi ka niya mabigyan ng anak?" Jenny asked.

Hindi parin nagsi-sink in sa utak ko "What... anong ibig mong sabihin?"

She breathe deeply "Nung gabi I told her about my visit sa isang fertility clini
c, told her she should try
sabi naman niya she's fine. Pero....." she said "But nasa schedule niya was she
went to some clinic in Milan."

Pumunta siya sa isang fertility clinic? For what? "May result ba diyan?"

"Wala pero Gabriel..... it make sense."

It does. But I don't care about that. Wala akong pake kung hindi kami magkakaana
k. Basta kasama ko
siya! Why is she so damn stubborn? "I don't care Jen. Hindi ko kailangan ng anak
, siya ang kailangan ko."

"Tell her that." Jenny said.

And I sure hell will. Stubborn woman, always deciding without even asking me.

Mary's Point of View

I'm at Prague, tinatapos ko na yung mga kailangan tapusin and this is the last s
top I think. I've
already talked to the Valerio Group at their Milan Headquarters. And ngayon nand
ito ako sa isa nilang
resort at Prague. It's calming here at the beach.

I needed calm.
I left Gab at Paris dahil hindi ko kaya. He proposed at pinakinggan kong mabuti
yun. I thought maybe
pwede. Na baka it wasn't in his priority but it was. And I can't give him that.
As much as I want to
hindi pwede. Hindi ko kaya.

He deserves the family he wanted not me. Hindi ako dahil I might not be able to
give him a family.
Kahit sobrang sakit isipin na maghahanap siya ng iba, ayos lang kasi hindi naman
pwedeng sa akin siya
habang buhay.

I was walking down the shore, malapit ng mag sunset and it's so lonely, magisa l
ang ako sa beach side.
It's cold but it's nothing for me, kasi kahit anong lamig yan, I'm too numb to f
eel it dahil sobra akong
nasasaktan, pero eto naman ang tama eh, ang masaktan ako at wag lang si Gab, ang
lumayo kay Gab
dahil I won't always be there for him. He can't be tied down with a woman like m
e.

Umupo ako and just sat there looking at the sea. I miss Gab. I miss him so much.
And it hurts so much
na kailangan ko siyang iwan. Na kahit pa mahal namin ang isa't isa hindi yun sap
at ngayon. Na nanalo
yung reality against us.

Maybe this is karma. Yeah karma dahil ang dami kong nasaktan. Karma and reality.

Tinignan ko yung phone ko and yung picture namin ni Gab together yung wallpaper
ko, I smiled bitterly,
haggang tingin nalang ang magagawa ko. Haggang litrato nalang ako. I scanned my
phone for the calendar.
Malapit na akong pumunta sa Germany and off the radar for me.
"I miss you." I said at loud wala naman makakarinig sa akin eh. Dapat masanay na
akong magisa diba?

"Kung namimiss mo na ako then bakit hindi ka pa bumalik ng Paris?" I was startle
d dahil sa boses na
narinig ko. I slowly turned my head towards the back to confirm and there he was
standing, at lalo
akong nasasaktan dahil nandito siya, nakita niya ako and I might lie to him. Hin
di ko nga nagawa yun eh.
Hindi ko magawang magsinungaling na hindi ko siya mahal. "Missed me?" he asked.
"Go away Gab." I said at tumalikod na at tumingin ulit sa dagat.

Umupo siya sa tabi ko pero hindi ko siya pinansin "Mahal na mahal kita Mary, ika
w lang at wala ng iba pa.
Ikaw lang ang gusto kong makasama habang buhay. I want you, only you." he declar
ed his love again. "I
know what you've been up to." nagulat ako kaya napatingin ako sa kanya, alam niy
a? Pero paano? I
was discreet. "Yes alam ko." he said confirming my question in my head. "I love
you and I want you, and
I don't care if you're infertile, kung hindi na tayo pwedeng magkaanak we could
always adopt. I just
want to marry you and spend the lifetime with you." he said.

Tears fell from my eyes. Ang sakit kasi eh. "I know Mary that you've went to a f
ertility clinic at kung
ano man yung result from there, we'll fight together. Nandito ako, hindi naman a
ko mawawala Mary eh.
Hindi kita iiwan kahit pa hindi mo ako mabigyan ng anak dahil ikaw ang mahalaga
ikaw. I don't want
children if I can't have you." he said at tuluyan na siyang lumapit upang yakapi
n ako. I wanted to hug
him back pero hindi ko magawa, akala ko madali lang ang mawala pero hindi pala.
Akala ko paginiwan ko
siya sa Paris ayos na pero nandito siya saying things. "I love you so much. Let'
s go home." And I badly
want to go back home with him. But I can't.

I slightly shook my head. Naramdaman niya iyon kaya humiwalay siya at tinignan n
iya ako pero hindi ako
makatingin sa kanya, I can't, because it's breaking my heart. He used his hand t
o lift my head and he
did so successfully. "I.....you have to leave Gab." I said looking in his eyes.

He was surprised no that would be an understatement "Wh..why?" he asked.

"Iwan mo na ako Gab. Go and live a live without me." I said at tumayo na ako "I
don't deserve you
Gab." I said at naglakad na ako palayo.

"HINDI KA BA NAKIKINIG? I SAID I WANT YOU. IKAW LANG. WALANG BABIES!" he yelled
and
lumingon ako sa kanya nakatayo na siya and nagsimula siyang maglakad palapit sa
akin.
"I HAVE CANCER GAB!" I yelled and he stopped his tracks and looked at me in horr
or. I have cancer.
Mahirap aminin pero I have cancer. I have an ovarian cancer. Nung nandun ako sa
clinic, I thought I
was just infertile or I have an hormonal imbalance. But the doctor said I have c
ancer and hindi pa alam
kung anong stage that's what Germany was for. For treatments.

I left Gab hindi lang dahil baka hindi na ako magkaanak but because I can't let
him marry a woman
with cancer like me. Me who would soon be so sick. I can't let him waste his lif
e with me. Kahit pa
gusto kong samahan niya ako with all of this, I can't napakaselfish ko naman kun
g gagawin ko yun. Kasi
mahirap na ngang malaman na may cancer yung babaeng mahal niya then he would acc
ompany her all
throughout, diba hindi naman fair yun.

"Ano?" He asked.

"I have ovarian cancer Gab." I cried. "So please just leave Gab."

"No." He said at nagmadali siyang lumapit sa akin, he held both of my shoulder a

t inalog niya ako ng
mahina then he stopped at tumingin siya sa akin. "No. No. No." he said firmly. "
You won't leave me alright?
Hindi ka pwedeng mawala." he cried. "Hindi mo ako iiwan. Hindi."

Sinandal ko yung ulo ko sa kanya "Gab please.... kung mahal mo ako, lalayo ka na
. Please just let go."

"No. Hindi ko kaya. We'll fight this together understand?" Gab asked "Hindi ko k
akayanin mawala ka sa
akin Mary so please..." dahan dahan siyang lumuhod "Wag mo akong itulak palayo.
Please Mary kailangan
kita so let's fight together. Sasamahan kita."

"Paano pag namatay ako Gab. Iiwan din naman kita eh, kaya mas maganda na kung di
to palang wala
ka na, para kunting sakit lang."
"Sa tingin mo hindi ako masasaktan lalo pag namatay ka na wala ako sa tabi mo?"
He asked "Mas
masakit yun Mary at hindi ko hahayaan na mawala ka sa akin." he said "Hindi ko k
aya Mary. If you
really love me Mary, let me stay by your side, let me in."

"I do love you kaya nga I'm giving you a way out."

"BUT I DON'T WANT TO WALK AWAY! Naiintindihan mo ba ako Mary? Hindi ako aalis! I
won't. Kahit pa
ayaw mo. Dito lang ako sa tabi mo." He said determined. "I love you so much Mary
."

I can be selfish right? Siguro nga kailangan ko siya pero ayoko siyang saktan. B
ut you're hurting him right
now. Para sa kanya din naman to eh. He wants to be there for you.

"Walang kasiguraduhan Gab. I might die or I might not be able to give you a chil
d." I said.

"I don't care about kids, I just want you, alive. With me."

Dahan dahan akong umupo para maging magkalevel kami "Kung hindi mo na kaya, iiwa
n mo na ako ah?"

He shook his head "I'll be strong for the both of us. All you need to do is figh
t and live ok?"

I nodded. "I'll be bald." I tried to laughed.

"I'd love you anyway. I don't care if you're ugly or bald. You will always be pe
rfect for me." He said "I
will always love you no matter what."

"I love you too Gab." I cried.

Niyakap niya ako "Now that's what I want to hear." he said. "No more secrets ok?
Let's fight this
together."

"Do you still want to marry me?" I asked.

Natawa siya at hiniwalay niya ako sa kanya "Of course Mary. If I can, I'd marry
you right here." he
said.

"I do want to get married in a beach." I commented. "Pero I want to be beautiful

when I get
married so can you wait till I'm better?"

"Whatever you want Mary." He said and he finally kissed me. I might die or whate
ver but at least I
was with the man I love right? At least alam kong mahal niya ako. No regrets.

The Last Chapter Philippines, I do

2 years after.....

Gabriel's Point of View

We've been through a lot. We've suffered. We've been broken. We even let each ot
her go but our love
was strong and we fought everything. I fought for her as she did for me, for us.

And all the pain that I've taken was worth it. If she was the prize then it was
worth it. I don't
care if I will get hurt if she would be there at the finish line waiting for me.

I love her with all my heart. Siya lang at wala ng iba pa.
Madaming nangyari, madaming pagsubok ang dinaanan namin, madaming naging hadlang
sa pagibig namin,
madaming oras ang nasayang pero sa huli ang pagmamahalan namin ang nagwagi. She
didn't choose me
once before but then at that moment she did. She chose me in the end.

And today would be the day she'll once again decide to choose me.

2 years ago, I learned Mary had cancer. She tried to let go of me again pero sa
huli she let me be by
her side. She called her parents to tell them and they immediately went to Germa
ny with us. Dun
treatments were given to her. Chemo was first given, and all throughout nandun a
ko para sa kanya.
Surgery was then needed to remove the cancer cells. But of course, she was still
weak and not cancer
free. Chemo was once again necessary.

Sobra siyang nahihirapan and I tried to be strong para sa kanya kahit pa sobra n
a akong nasasaktan
para sa kanya, I didn't want her to suffer. She doesn't deserve to suffer. At ni
ghts, she would crawl
out of bed and ran towards the bathroom to vomit and then she'd cry, she'd cover
ed her sobs for me
not to hear pero rinig ko, rinig ko pero hindi ako lumapit dahil alam kong kaila
ngan niyang mapagisa.

Pero nung hindi ko na kinaya na marinig pa siyang umiiyak, I went towards her an
d let her cry on my
shoulder. Diba even before I was always lending her my shoulder to cry on. I tol
d her na kung iiyak siya
sa harap ko para hati kami sa sakit. Na hindi niya kailangan itago sa akin lahat
ng nararamdaman niya.

How many times did she think of giving up were so many I couldn't even count. Pa
god na daw siya pero
I can't. Call me selfish pero hindi ko kaya eh. I can't imagine a life without h
er. Baka sundan ko lang
siya agad. I just can't see my future without her in it.
I'm not that strong to live without her.

Naging insecure siya because wala na daw siyang buhok and she looked so fragile,
so thin. But I had to
remind her na siya lang. It was hard pero nakinig siya. Dahil ayun naman ang tot
oo eh. I didn't see her
as ugly, no, I won't ever. Kahit pa wala na siyang buhok, I won't leave her, kah
it anong mangyari.
That's so trivial.
When you love someone, you love them by who you they are not what they are or ho
w they look. It
isn't love if you only care about the outside appearance, if you truly love some
one then you'd always see
her beautiful no matter what. You'd see perfection.

And I saw perfection in her. Always.

Madami kaming pinagdaanan and today would be the day we would finally say our I
do's. We survived
heart being broken, and of course, we survived cancer. I know she's strong. She
fought hard. And I can
never believe that this woman would be mine at last.

She didn't give up. She fought not for just herself but for us. For our love. Hi
ndi ko akalain na mamahalin
ko pa siya ng sobra sobra.

Our wedding would not be like her old wedding with James. Hindi siya grande. Hin
di din ito ang inaabangan
na kasalan sa business world. It was just a simple wedding filled with the peopl
e we both know and
loved. It wasn't her dream wedding because it already happened right with James?
So I couldn't give
her that. But I could give her my love and this simple wedding.

Mary decided to have a beach wedding, a simple one. She didn't even want to wear
a wedding dress
anymore, simple lang daw talaga ang gusto niya.

"I would say I'm happy for you pero I would be lying." tinignan ko yung nagsalit
a and it was James,
sympre he was a great impact on Mary's life kaya nandito siya, he's with someone
pero hindi ko alam
kung sino yung babaeng kasama niya ngayon.

Alam ko na haggang ngayon mahal niya parin si Mary, siguro nga hindi na mawawala
yun pero alam ko din
na kaya pa niyang magmahal ayaw lang niyang buksan ito para sa iba. Kasi dati di
n ginawa ko yun,
ayokong buksan ito para sa iba dahil si Mary lang ang gusto ko.
"Thank you for coming."

Ngumiti siya sa akin "How could I say no to Mary?" he said and raised his glass
of champagne "Just make
her happy and don't hurt her."

"I won't."

"Good." He said. "Salamat kasi hindi mo siya iniwan nung pinaka-kailangan ka niy
a. Thank you for making
her strong enough to live."

30 minutes later, I was called and the ceremony was going to start. Naghintay na
ako sa kanya
habang siya ay nandun sa dulo, making her way.

Her hair was short but she was still beautiful.

She was smiling at me while she was walking, I was too overwhelmed by the feelin
g. After all these
years, here she is walking down the aisle for me. Her dad handed her hand to me
and she smiled her
most sweetest smile ever "I love you." she mouthed.

And I love her too with all my heart.

Mary's Point of View

Today is my wedding with Gab. And I'm so excited. So happy. Madami na kaming pin
agdaanan and we
made it through.
Hindi siya nawala sa tabi ko kahit kailan. Hindi siya nag give up kaya I didn't
too. Hindi ko kaya eh. Isipin
lang na iiwanan ko siya hindi ko kaya. Hindi ko siya kayang iwan. Natatakot din
ako. Natatakot akong
mamatay.

I survived cancer but there are still risks of course. I could still get pregnan
t but the chances are slim.
I don't want to get pregnant dahil baka bumalik yung cancer right when I'm pregn
ant I don't want
that for my child. Pero I do want a child of my own with Gab.

"I'm happy for you couz." Alyssa said as she looked at the mirror para tignan ak
o dun.

Ngumiti ako sa kanya. She's fine, she got married first with Conrad. I know she
loves Conrad but of
course Michael would always be the first in her right but at least diba she s tryi
ng? Pero siguro because
of the scars of the accident and Kuya Michael's death, she lost a part of her, s
he's sometimes gloomy and
she's so serious. Nawala yung masayahing Alyssa, yung carefree.

"Thanks." I said.

"Finally ikakasal ka na Mary!" Jenny exclaimed. "No more of that runaway bride s
tunt ah! Baka may
tinatago ka pang lover boy diyan." we all laughed. The three of us became closer
lalo na silang dalawa,
siguro nga dati enemies sila pero not now or ever, because they ve formed a bond.
Jewel and Love were
also here pero I think because of what happened 2 years ago, mas naging close ta
laga kami nila Alyssa
and Jenny at dati pa naman Jenny always been my closest.
"Baliw. Si Gab lang naman ang tumanggap sa akin kahit pa I'm bald and ugly." I s
aid.

They stopped laughing. My cancer was a serious thing for them. Lalo na kay Jenny
and Alyssa. Jenny said
she couldn't lose me too. Alyssa might not tell me pero I know na she can't hand
le losing me too. "Well
I would still love you." narinig ko from the door and James was there standing s
miling at me.
James and I are fine. I mean we're great friends. Dun naman kami nagsimula eh. I
know part of him
is still hurting but still he's there always. I know he's moving on. There's thi
s girl I always see at his
house. Or wherever. Basta.

I turned around him and smiled, lumapit siya sa akin "Be happy." he said and jus
t like that the others
disappeared. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you James." I said.

"Nagsasabi lang ng totoo Mary. You would always be beautiful." He said. "Thank y
ou for living Mary, kahit
hindi para sa akin kaya ka lumaban thank you dahil buhay ka. Salamat kasi naging
malakas ka. Kasi Mary
kahit pa hindi ka na sa akin, hindi ko kakayanin kung mawala ka nalang bigla."

I nodded holding back the tears, masisira yung simple na make up na ginawa ni Je
nny. "I... salamat
James. And don't say things like that. I fought for everyone. Hindi para sa sari
li ko kundi para sa inyong
lahat. Kasama ka sa mga taong mahal ko James tandaan mo yan. Importante ka sa ak
in."

"If letting you go was for you to be happy then I would not regret anymore. Dahi
l masaya ka. So
continue on being happy for me not to regret ok? Just be happy not for me but fo
r yourself.."

"Ikaw din James. Be happy. Try and be happy. Try to love again." I said. I know
James. He does love me
pero baka dahil sa pagmamahal niya sa akin, mamiss niya yung chance ulit for lov
e. I want him to be
happy. To find the right girl.
"How could I love again?" he asked. "You're the love of my life Mary." he confes
sed. "Tama ka with Alyssa.
I was in love with the idea pero ngayon I can differentiate the idea with the re
ality. I love you. You
will always be the love of my life."
I was about to say something but then the door opened and a girl, I saw this gir
l already was there
standing, shock and hurt were clear in her eyes. I know that look, I've seen tha
t before. Right before
the mirror. She's in love with someone who can't even love her back.

"Lillian." James called as he cleared his face from tears.

"James." The Lillian girl called "Hinahanap kasi kita eh. I..... got a... call f
rom Edward and I...need to go." she
lied. I know someone's lying when I see one. She's lying.

"You told me you'd stay." James said, I was hearing some kind of jealous tone ou
t of him and I secretly
smiled as I remembered the girl. Siya yun.

"Stay." I said to Lillian. "Sabi nila it's bad luck if a guest leaves before the
ceremony even starts." I
smiled at her.

Nagulat siya sa sinabi ko "I..ehh.." she fidgeted

"Please Lillian." James said.

She sighed "Ok. I'll wait for you outside."

Sasara na niya dapat yung pinto but then again "James it would be rude kung you'
d let her be alone at
isa pa maraming bachelors outside." I said.

"Right." James said "You'd be fine?" he asked me and I nodded "Be happy ok?" I n
odded again "Don't try
your stunt from before." he tried to sound like he was teasing pero he failed. I
t still sting for him and
maybe for me. "Thanks for loving me before." he said and leaned forward to kiss
me in the forehead "See
you."
Right after they left, I was ready. Inayos ulit ni Jenny yung make up ko and the
n Alyssa gave me
my flower. Just then the door opened and mom and dad both came in and gave me th
eir speech, how
happy they were and then dad took my hand and for the second time he walked me d
own the aisle.

I saw Gab right away and I smiled.

Gab would say this wasn't my dream wedding dahil James gave me that already but
he's wrong. This is
my dream wedding dahil siya ang lalaki na nasa harap naghihintay para sa akin. J
ames did give me the
wedding I've always wanted, the grand one, the one in a big Church and a wedding
gown girls would die
for but Gab gave me himself and that's the dream. Me and him getting married.

He would be insecure with James dahil he'd think James gave me the perfect thing
. But no. James might
gave me the perfect engagement, and wedding but he gave something more.

This is perfect because this is true love.

As dad handed me to Gab, I smiled at him and mouthed my I love you. The ceremony
started and we
both said our vows, and our I do's.

And by the end of the day, we were married. And it was perfect. A moment I would
never regret. A
moment I would always cherish from the bottom of my heart. A moment I would fore
ver be grateful
for, for it gave me my husband, my Gab.
Having met him at that bar that one night was the start of the love story, our l
ove story. Having
met him there gave me the moment of knowing him, a moment that gave me my best f
riend, my
love, and my happiness.
Even if we almost gave up love for each other still at the end naging kami parin
. No... scratch that we
did or rather I did gave up, I let go of him before and when I thought it was to
o late, he proved me
wrong. True love is never too late.

Kahit pa kagaano kayo katagal mahiwalay sa isa't isa, at the end kayo parin kung
talagang true love
yan.

"I love you." Gab said as he looked at me with eyes full of love.

"I love you too Gabriel Jhonson." I smiled at him.

We might not know what happens tomorrow but at least we have this moment to live
for. This is not
the end of our story for we have just reached the first few chapters of it. It's
not the end but I
can tell you this.......

We live happily ever after.

The End.

From: love_hatred:
Grabe po naiyak po talaga ako sa nngyri, bkt nagpkamatay si Michael?
Bakit gnun? Nakakawa din si James pero sympre isa akong maka Gabriel simula
palang. Msya para kay Mary pero malungkot pra kay Alyssa, alam k po n simula
plng magrerevolve kay Mary yung story ksi ayun po ung sbi mo sa my love for a
magician na mawawala tlga si Alyssa for 10 years at ganun nga pero akala k po
tlga n pgbalik nya happy ending na. hnd nmn po s disappointed ako kya lang
ksi diba Alyssa deserve a happy ending too? For Mary naiinis ako sa kanya,
simula palang inis na ako, naiintindihan k n pnli nya si James ksi nguguilty
siya pero nmn spat n ba yun pra pakawalan nya si Gabriel? Then nung nagdecide
siya na itutuloy nya yung kasal, she should have stick wth her decision.
Although na I love their love team kaso nakakaawa talaga si James. Awang awa
ako sa knya ksi book one plng wala na syang love life lagi. Lagi nlang
nwawala sa knya. Lagi nlng na hnd siya mahal.
Pero po I love your stories. I m one of your biggest fan! Keep on
writing po!

From: Racquel Rhochie Santiago:

hello po ate mary. una ko pong nabasa sa mga stories mo yung my love
for a magician na sobrang nagandahan po ako. nakakakilig, nakaka iyak din
yung nangyari sa love story ni Alyssa saka ni Michael. ksi di sila nag
kaintindihang dalawa na syang dahilan kung bkt umalis si Alyssa sa pilipinas.
mas nagustuhan ko po yung love story ni Mary at Gab ksi nagsimula sila sa
isang di inaasahang pagkikita sa bar tpos ayun nga, nging love na sa huli kso
madaming hadlang sa love story nila. naiinis ako kay James, ksi prang ginamit
nya lang yung pagkaka aksidente nya para balikan lang sya ni Mary khit alam
nya na medyo nawala na yung love ni Mary sakanya. oo, gnawa nga ni James
lahat para lang mahalin sya ni Mary kso di nman nging masaya si Mary sakanya,
lalo lang nasaktan si Mary dhil alam ni Mary na kay Gab sya tlga sasaya. kala
ko nung una tuluyan ng magiging malungkot yung love life ni Mary at Gab ksi
nga ikakasal na si Mary kay James, kso hndi pala mas pinili ni James na wag
ng ituloy yung kasal at ibigay na yung taong mahal na mahal nya sa piling ng
totoong mahal nito. nakaka awa din si James ksi matapos nyang masaktan ng
husto sa pagkawala ni Alyssa, nawala ulit yung taong mas minahal nya ng husto.
pero sa lahat ng love team na ngustuhan ko ay yung Mary at Gab, akala ko sa
story na waiting for the magician kila Alyssa at Michael prin iikot yun pla
hndi. hinintay ko ng matagal yung soft copy ng waiting for the magician mas
interesado ksi ako sa mga story mo ate mary. :))))) akala ko nung una wala na
tlgang pag asa ang Mary-Gab love team e. nakaka awa ksi si Gab, sobrang tgal
nyang naghantay kay Mary na nging dhilan din ng muntikang pagsuko nya, buti
na lang andyan si Alyssa at Jenny na syang tumulong para mabatukan yung
dalawa. hahaha. kaya sana po, isa ako sa mbigyan mo ng special chapter about
sa story ni Gab at Mary. gusto ko po ksing subaybayan yung love story
nila. :D advance Merry Christmas and Advance happy anniversary sa inyo ni
Watty. God bless. :)))))

From: HannahKF11:
Hello po ate Mary! nabasa ko na po ung waiting for the magician n my
love for a magician. Gusto ko po talagang mabasa ung special chapter!
Si Gabriel and Mary po is perfect for each other. Kumbaga sila po ung
shoes na pagsinuot, di ka po magkakapaltos kasi po hindi nman po masikip.
Tapos po gusto ko po magkaroon po sila ng Happy Ending katulad po nila Harry
and Jewel kasi po mahal po nila ang isa't isa. Un lang po! Salamat!

From: flirtyyuri / Yuri Yamato:

Hi Ate! I m not sure kasi if you re going to give me some special
treatment and just give me the copy kahit pa I m not giving you my insight.
So just to make sure, here s my insight.
Tatanungin sana kita kung paano ka nakakapagsulat ng ganyan ka
heartbreaking na story pero I know the answer na dun eh. Masyado kang bitter!
Peace ate pero sa loob ng ilang months natin na magkakilala at nakwento mo na
din sa akin yung college life mo at sila J and M and the other boys, bitter
ka lalo na kay M hindi kay J. Sobra kang bitter kaya pinatay mo siya! Hala ka
ate pag yan nabasa ni M at napagtanto niyang based sa kanya yung pinatay mo,
lagot ka na!
Pero in all seriousness ate, do you really have to kill Michael? What
did he do to you? Bitter much! Kawawa naman si Alyssa ate, hindi mo ba naisip
yun? Pero hindi nga ate, naiyak talaga ako. First few chapters palang
nakakaiyak na ate, minsan lang ako natawa sa story pero puro lungkot na
talaga. If I didn t know you personally I d say na ang galing mo dahil
there s so much emotion but of course I know you and alam ko yung mga
heartbreaks mo. Pero still you re such a great writer! You brought out so
many emotions.
Masaya ako kay Mary and Gab ewan ko pero kinikilig ako sa kanila! Tama
ka kasi may chemistry silang dalawa! But still po diba kawawa si James. Sana
lang ate sa story ni James, maging happy naman siya kasi I know you eh,
bitter ka eh!
My love for a Magician and Waiting for the Magician are one of the
greatest stories I ve read on Wattpad, hindi ko yan sinasabi dahil close tayo
pero totoo yun ate, iba kasi yung plot. Siguro kung nabigyan mo din si Alyssa
ng happy ending at medyo siya yung focus mas gaganda kasi truth ate, yung
title is for Alyssa and Michael pero yung laman hindi sila. I must say na ang
inaabangan talaga namin was their story although Mary s story along with
Jewel were also great pero kasi ang kunti lang ng screen time nila ni Alyssa
at Michael.
That s all. Thank you and I salute you kasi natapos mo dito with all
the things happening around you. I-promote mo ang story ko ate! Joke lang!
Yuri

From: Maerielle Albero:

Hi Miss author, good day to you. Finally natapos ko na ring basahin ang
Waiting for the Magician and I must say that nagandahan ako sa flow ng
story,though hindi na si Michael and Allyssa ang focus because I was
expecting that book 2 would be a story on how they will fight for their love
and have their happy ending but don't worry Miss Author I'm not
disappointed,ganda kaya ng story ni Gab and Mary. Worth it,yung paghihintay
ko for the softcopy of this story. I admit I'm a bit sad on what happened to
the love story of Michael and Allyssa,yun nga I thought happy ending but I
really admire Michael, he was able to prove that he truly loves Allyssa to
the point that he could even sacrifice her own life for her. For the love
triangle of Gab, Mary and James----sobrang ganda Miss Author, two thumbs
up.Sobrang iyak ko dito,feel na fell ko talaga bawat emotions
nila hehehe.Naawa ako sobra kay Gab, he's such a martyr guy. I thought Mary
would really marry James buti nalang she realized sa end part ng story that
Gab is the one that she truly love and not James.Mag-iiyak talaga ako ng
bonggang-bongga pag sila ni James ang nagkatuluyan(hehehe,bitter ako
masyado).Pero sa totoo lang Miss Author, I guess it's just right na sila
talaga ni Mary and Gab ang magkatuluyan sa huli.They both deserve each other
because they're not selfish. They made many sacrifices for each other to the
point that they can even sacrifice their love for each other kahit masakit
for both of them.Kung pinili man nilang ipaglaban ang kanilang narramdaman sa
huli,hindi ibig sabihin na selfish na sila,let's take a look at the
sacrifices that they made, Mary and Gab deserves their happy ending and I
think it's not unfair for James' part because he was given a time and chance
to prove his love to Mary but wala siyang ginawa.He's stuck in his part---his
love for Allyssa.Hindi naman sa anti-James ako or what but I guess that's
what it's supposed to be. Mary gave him chances,minahal nya nang sobra si
James,nagpakatanga siya for James because she thinks that somehow James would
learn to love her pero anong nangyari unrequited love,siguro sa last part
narealize ni James na mahal na nya si Mary but it's too late because Mary is
already inlove with Gab. Sinayang nya lang ang lahat ng pagpahalaga ni Mary
for him and sa pagkakaintindi ko kay James He's a type of guy who is always
in a state of denial and confusion hehe,hindi makapag-decide kung ano at sino
ba talaga.Ang sakit kaya sa part ni Mary na plagi na lang siyang second
option.Wala na man sigurong babae na gustong maging second option.Sinasabi ni
James that she loves Mary but whenever Allyssa is around, she forgets
Mary..,she rejects Mary..,I guess it's not love James. Unlike Gab who is
always there with Mary, there are so many reasons why Mary should chose and
love Gab, he's martyr---hindi siya sinusukuan kahit many times na siyang na-
reject, understanding, patient, mapagparaya,hindi selfish,laging nandyan sa
tabi nya and lastly he loves her so much and etc.,and that's also the reason
why I LOVE GAB (hahaha ,epal masyado).Mary is meant for Gab,siguro si James
mayroong ibang girl na destined for her. Overall assessment sa story, I love
it..,umiyak ako,tumawa kasi just like them I'm a stalker to my crush
also hehehe,kinilig at na-inlove(kay Gab) and realize that Love is not
selfish Love lasts till eternity And sabi nga nila Love is never too late.
And also I just want to take this opportunity Miss Author to say thank you to
you kasi lahat ng stories mo may easy access to download the softcopies kasi
silent reader lang ako Miss Author,minsan lang ako mag-online and read
stories on wattpad.So far My love for a Magician and Waiting for a Magician
pa lang ang nababasa kong story mo,but I will really find time to read your
other stories soon. Congratulations Miss Author for writing such a great
story. Maerielle here Miss Author.

From: imyourprincess13:
Hi po! Kaiyak grabe p ung story! Si Alyssa po sana talaga ngkaroon po
sya ng happy ending ksi po s book one plng po prang kawawa na sya. Sobra po
tlga na nakakalungkot pra ky Alyssa. Mnsan po naiisip ko ksi po diba dun po s
note nyo na bitter kau kay Michael at James nab aka dn kay Alyssa bitter po
kau, ksi s lht ng characters sya lng ang walang hppy ending. Si Jenny na
dating kaaway may fianc, si Love, may baklang baboy, si Jewel may Harry si
Mary may Gabriel pero si Alyssa wla po pti si James at pinatay nyo po si
Michael. Hay naiiyak tlaga ako dto. Pero mgnda po ang story nyo kya lng
tlaga si Alyssa eh, prang ginwa ksi na kay Mary umikot lht, hnd lng tlga ako
makapaniwala sa ending. I thought it would be James and Mary talaga and
Michael and Alyssa. Ayun po pla! Hnd po masydo na kwento ung love story nila
ulit, diba po ngng sla pero hnd nmn po msydo ngwan ng narration, ang blis ng
pacing po. Sna po kung papatyin nyo tlga si Michael sna po binigyan mo po kmi
ng kilig moments between the two. Wag po kayong magalit po ah. Gusto ko parin
po ng story niyo! Dabest ka prin po! Good luck po and Merry Christmas.

From: ayumirocks:
Love the story. Love the love teams. Mary and Gabriel forever. Para sa
akin kahit pa namatay si Michael ayos lang! Kasi he gave up his life for
Alyssa naman eh, at isa pa hindi naman magisa si Alyssa ngayon diba? There s
JC and I m sure Mary would be there for her.
I salute you kasi sinunod mo yung gusto mo at hindi yung gusto ng iba,
hindi mo tinapos yung story mo in accordance with what others might say about
it. Basta you set your mind sa ending at ayun talaga. Ang galing lang talaga.
I think may reason naman talaga kung bakit namatay si Michael diba? Basta ang
galing po at ang ganda. Pinaiyak ako nito sana ay pagpatuloy mo pa ang
pagsusulat ng mga storya.
A note just for you
Una po sa lahat, maraming salamat sa oras na binigay niyo dito para lang magbig
ay ng
komento tungkol sa story na ito. Sobra ako na-overwhelmed sa pagbugso (not sure
sa term)
anyway sobra kasing dami yung nagsend sa akin ng feedbacks, within 20 or less da
ys umabot na
ito ng 100+. Nagulat ako and at the same time natouch kasi wow hindi ko alam na
may impact
ito sa iba. Yung file palang naido-download is 500+ na, so really hindi ko alam
na madaming
nagaabang dito kaya medyo na disappoint ako sa ginawa ko. Kasi madami din na-dis
appoint. Pero
hindi ko talaga babaguhin yung ending kahit ilan pa kayong magrequest. Na-publis
h na yun, may
libro ba kayong nakita na pinalitan yung story right after being published dahil
sa public demand,
dahil madaming may ayaw ng ending? Binago ba ni Nicholas yung ending ng mga stor
y niya? Diba
hindi naman? I can t change it and I won t. Yes I might be bitter sa mga characters
ko pero
hindi dahil dun kaya namatay si Michael. If you re going to keep reading my storie
s especially the
two books that will be connected to this lalo na yung last which is the story of
Mary s daughter,
dun niyo malalaman kung bakit ko pinatay si Michael kasi his death did give a gr
eat impact lalo
na dun sa story na iyon. Kaya no I won t change it. Ang dami kasi nagsabi na palit
an ko. I can t.
Umm.. next is I know akala niyo kay Alyssa focused yung story ng book two but t
o the
whole gang po talaga yun. If you read the prologue again, hindi po She kundi They an
g
ginamit ko kasi it referred to all of them not just to Alyssa. And yes I did mak
e it clear before
that it will not revolve around Alyssa. Sa note ko sa wattpad in chapter 42 Chri
stmas
heartbreaks part two. Talaga pong hindi kay Alyssa at Michael kasi po yung timel
ine ko sa book
two ay yung nawala si Alyssa at nasa Manila ang storyline ko wala sa New York ka
si diba nga
wala siya ng 10 years, mystery kasi yun ng book two kung kalian siya darating, k
aya hindi siya
masyadong nagpakita, but I did write 2 chapters about New York and her. I m just s
aying this
kasi I don t want you to think na it shouldn t be like that. But it should be. And I
made it like
that kasi, it s really hard to imagine what really may have happened in 10 years r
ight? Alyssa s
story was based on a true story, she left Michael here in the Philippines and th
at was it for her.
And isa pa, really guys don t be disappointed dahil hindi kay Alyssa nag revolve k
asi kung gusto
niyo ng kay Alyssa I can give you that pero mas handa ba kayo dun? Book two pala
ng is masyado
ng heartbreaking daw paano pa if I give the back-story of Alyssa in New York? It
will be dark.
Really dark. So just tell me kung gusto niyo yun and I will write you the story.

Next issue, the title, Waiting for the Magician. Sabi ng iba dapat daw hindi ya
n ang title.
Pero for me it s perfect. Alyssa was indeed waiting for the magician, hindi litera
lly but she was
waiting for his heart. And isa pa, ang hirap kayang mag isip ng title na may cat
ch, na may
magician din. Then nag pop yan sa isip ko kasi diba 10 years ang gap ng story so
ayun, waiting
lahat sila naghihintay. Ayun basta mahirap explain pero this is the right title.

Next is, James. What? Sabi ko naman sainyo bitter ako kay James eh kaya wala in
iwan
siya ni Mary! Ako kaya si Mary! Anyway yes nakakaawa si James kasi book one pala
ng lagi nalang
siyang talo but really kung hindi ako naging bitter sa kanya ng sobra baka siya
talaga nakatuluyan
ni Mary. Bagay kaya kami. Mali bagay sila ni Mary. Anyway to give him naman po j
ustice may
sarili siyang story, and natuwa ako kasi may nag request na bigyan siya ng story
! Meron na po
talaga! Nakapag sign na siya ng kontrata sa akin pati anak nila Mary naka sign n
a ng kontrata
para sa story nila! Unahin ko lang sympre si James! Sabi nung iba pag daw may st
ory si James,
sana happy ending kasi daw kahit daw may pagkamasama siya, teka saan kaya nila n
apulot na
masama si James? Anyway ayun sana daw bigyan ko parin daw. Sure ng may happy end
ing si
James kasi nga nakasign na sa kontrata ang mga anak nila! Anyway read it soon mg
a end of
February ay isusulat ko na ang Finally Found You, na banggit na kanina yung lead
ing lady ni
James, Lillian ang name niya yes and sundan niyo story nila ni James,and hindi p
o siya katulad
ng part two ng Waiting for the Magician na magbibigay ako ng pdf nalang. Ipopost
ko po ito, one
by one. Kasi hindi ko pa tapos! Dapat sa Wattpad ko ipopost kaso nagloloko talag
a yung account
ko, yung write a new story tas pag nagloading na yung page, biglang may advertis
ement sa gitna
ng blank page yung prang apoy or whatever hindi ako makapagsulat. So sa blogspot
ko popost.
Look sa profile ko for the link ng site. Nandun lahat ng on going ko lalo na ang
JUST A
SPOONFUL OF LOVE at A LITTLE HELP FROM DESTINY. Ayun confirmed pong may story si
James ah!
I wanted to write you guys an alternate ending para lang kahit pa hindi kayo na
satisfy
sa tunay na ending you can imagine it in an alternate one, yung nabuhay sana si
Michael, pero
nung sinuslat ko na siya, my mind is blank. Wala talaga, it s like ayaw ng mabuhay
ni Michael
kahit pa alternate ending lang yun. Mahirap eh. And kasi if I do write it, alam
niyo bang si
Alyssa lang ang magkakaroon ng happy ending sa kanila? Yeah she will be the only
one. How?
. Sympre nga nabuhay si Michael so there weren t any reason Alyssa and the others
to go to New York kasi nga buhay si Michael so kung hindi nagpunta sa New York
sila Alyssa and hindi nagpunta sa Europe sila Mary and Gabriel then how would
Mary learn her illness? Diba so siguro kung malalaman man ni Mary too late na
and yung cancer cells ay nag spread na so there will be a chance na mamatay siya
diba? Or let s say tinanggal na yung reproductive organs niya so wala na siyang
chance magkaanak meaning kahit pa kasal na sila ni Gabriel would she be happy,
would they? No. Why? Because from what I see around my family and friends
mahalaga ang anak sa isang marriage. It is. A marriage can cramble with a childl
ess
marriage. And isa pa James would not be able to meet the girl namamakatuluyan
niya why? Kasi nasa office palagi si Mary kasi hindi nga sila nagpunta sa ibang
bansa so yeah. Madami pang reasons kaso magiging spoiler ako for James story
along with the last story of this series. So intayin niyo yung dalawa at malalam
an
niyo din.

Madami pang issue kaso nakakatamad isulat. So haggang dito nalang po. Maraming
salamat
po sa pag subaybay sa story ko. Kung maikli po remember this is just a special c
hapter kaya
ganyan lang.
Thank you for reading!

Third Series of Fate s Cruel Intervention

Lumabas muna ako dahil nakakabingi siya.
Pagpasensyahan mo na si Sir James ah napatingin ako sa nagsalita.
Yung secretary niya. Hindi naman talaga ganyan yan dati eh, super bait niyan dat
i, pero
since then naging cold na siya. She said. Today is 24 kaya medyo cranky yan ngayon
.
Anong meron sa 24? Tumingin ako sa kanya yung para bang nagtatanong.
5 months na since May 24. May 24, ang kasal dapat namin ni Troy at ang araw ng
kasal ni James dun kay Mary right? I guess hindi parin niya kaya. Anong hindi niya
kaya? He
changed. Nawala na yung masayahing James Naval, naging cold na.
Anong nangyari?
He got left in the altar. Summer said. Iniwan siya ni Mary sa araw ng kasal nila?
Pero
bakit?

Fourth Series of Fate s Cruel Intervention

imaprincessonbreak1.png
Here I am papunta sa ladies room, nitong hotel na to, we are having our rehearsa
l dinner,
I heard voices sa ladies room, may naguusap, I don t really want to eavesdrop but
they left me
with no choice.
Red, I don't want to be your mistress. It s Alexis boses niya eh, parang umiiyak si
ya.
I don t want you to be my mistress Alex. I want you to be my wife.
But I can t, can I? Kakasal ka na bukas Red.
Alex give me time, babalik din ako sayo. 3 years Alex, wait for me.
Three years? I can t wait for you that long.
Mahal na mahal kita Alex. Tatlong taon lang. No make that two years. Siguro nama
n
papayag na sila na mag annul kami ni Angel.
Nasasaktan ako, kasi kahit naman ayokong magpakasal sa kanya din, hindi ko nama
n naisip
na hiwalayan din siya agad, two years? But anong magagawa ko mahal nila ang isa t
isa.
Ayoko maghintay Red. Kung mahal mo talaga ako, don t marry her. Runaway with me
tomorrow.
I love you.
And that is my cue to leave. Pinunasan ko muna yung luhang tumulo kanina, he s no
t
going to attend the wedding tomorrow. Eto ba yung karma na sinasabi nila?

Do you miss him?

stillinlove.png
I looked at the person who was also looking at me sincerely.
I forced a laugh. Why would I miss my kidnapper? I asked, At isa pa anong magagawa
ko pag
sinabi kong miss na miss ko na siya? I asked and he looked at me with a puzzled l
ook. Of course
sinadya ko iyon, he doesn t understand Filipino after all.
Then why are you sulking around? he asked, he is very irritated right now What real
ly
happen to you when you were kidnapped?
What happened? That I don t know too.
I am a princess by blood, once I was kidnapped, and that changed my point of vie
w in life.
I looked at the stars above me, and I started remembering what happened before t
his all.
When I was still an obnoxious princess.

Nagpunta si Julie sa nursery at pinapasok siya sa loob, she looked at the incuba
ted baby. What
would happen to you baby? she asked. Could Damon take care of the baby alone?
He will have no mother. Nagulat siya at napatingin sa gilid niya, si Damon.
Kaya mo ba? she asked.
I don t know. Ayaw kong lumaki siya ng walang ina Juliet. Gusto kong may buo siyan
g
pamilya pero paano na ngayon? Damon said. Dianne even begged the doctors to tell m
e not to
put her name on his birth certificate.
Nagulat si Julie sa sinabi ni Damon Anong ibig mong sabihin?
She asked for your name to be written. Sagot ni Damon. But I didn t, wala pang
nakasulat.
alittlehelpfromdestint.png
She looked at the baby, Dianne named her son Alexander or Ace for short. Alexand
er was
Julie s grandfather and he took care of Dianne s schooling ever since high school.
I ll be his mother. Julie said. This was the right thing to do. Dianne was her fami
ly
even though she betrayed her, they were still a family and Ace deserve a mother.

If you decide to be his mother you will have to marry me Juliet. Damon told her I
don t want him to grow without a whole family.
She closed her eyes. If things were different, she would say no to his proposal
, but
Charles was not her Charles anymore and she won t ever forgive him. Then I will. Ju
st so you
know I got engaged last night. She tried to smile. But damn him for cheating on me
. Tears
began falling again. It still hurts.
Thank you for doing this Juliet. Damon said. Pero Juliet I want a real marriage.

Part Two (2013)

I get it. He smiled at me But will you wait for me? tanong niya sa akin. Parang
mali naman siya eh, dapat ako ang nagtatanong niyan kasi haggang ngayon siya ang
naghihintay sa
akin diba?
Tumango lang ako 10 years from now, kung handa kang maghintay ng 10 years at wal
a
ka pang ibang mahal at ganun din ako then I would marry you Kim. Nagulat ata siya
sa sinabi
ko kasi his jaw dropped open. Magaaral tayo ng mabuti at in 10 years pagtayo tala
ga edi tayo.
That s our 10 year plan Ian.
That s when I formulated our 10-year plan, the plan that made me think about the
future.
But before I didn t know that that plan wouldn t be made possible.

Part Two (Out on February 2013)

I m in love with her.
She s the only one here in my heart, she s my first love.
And I d do anything to be with her, even if I have to beg my family for her.
I was being selfish because of her, all I ever wanted is to be with her, I didn t
think
about the consequence of being with her. I risked the life her mom died for.
Babe. I felt a hand around my shoulder. I stood up and she looked at me. What s
wrong babe? she asked as if things are not right.
Everything. She looked at me again and now her eyes are full of pain. As if, I hu
rt her
feelings, doesn t she know I m more hurt.
Babe please. Nagmamaka-awa na ang mga mata niya ngayon, she walked near me and
tried to hold my hand. Akala ko ba we re working this out? she asked me.
Bea please, just leave me alone. Naglakad na ako palabas ng classroom, it s been tw
o
months since I last talked to her and it s been hell.
Hindi ka niya mahal Daniel. Napatigil ako sa paglalakad Masaya na siya kay Enrique
.
Tumingin ako sa kanya.
Bea s right, she s happy with Enrique, she s not in love with me. What if, just what
if
things were different? Would we have the happy ending we deserve? I love her and
only her.
