"ONE LAST try, Bridget Francesca Rascon," Brizly pronounced her name with such confidence. "Convice Sir Rocco that you can build a family together and that he can love you. Ipadama mo sa kanya ang pagmamahal mo hanggang sa matakot na siya na mawala ka. This is your last chance, Ate. Last risk. Huling pagkakataon na maging tanga. Kapag hindi ka pa mag-succeed dito, ibig sabihin ay hindi talaga siya worthy sa pagmamahal. Isipin mo ang magiging pamangkin ko. He will have a bright smile on his face while being welcomed to the world in the arms of his parents."

Tumango si Bridget na masinsinang nakinig sa mga habilin ng kapatid. Her heart was racing heavily as Brizly rode the scooter to the port. She glanced on her wrist watch, and it said six thirty in the morning.

Pinabayaan niyang magsalita si Brizly dahil kinakabahan siya. Naisip niya kagabi na magandang oportunidad ang bakasyon sa Alegre para sabihin kay Rocco ang totoo. Maybe, if she could help him heal and let him know that having a baby wasn't a bad idea, they could be a happy family.

Tama rin ang kapatid niya, huling pagkakataon na maging tanga. Kapag wala pa siyang napala dito, she would give up. Hindi na niya ipipilit ang sarili niya.

"Don't worry. I texted Captain about you joining their company. Baka siya pa nga sasalubong sa'yo sa pantalan."

"Noted," she only answered, sighing heavily. Her heart clenched an emotion. Alam ni Bridget na sa kaibuturan ng kanyang puso, maliban sa takot nitong plano ng pagbubuntis niya, she couldn't let him go that easily. She couldn't really give up.

Tanga na kung tanga talaga. She was greedy. Kahit hindi siya mahal ng lalaki ay minamahal pa rin niya ito. She was afraid that he could find someone else. Someone else that he could love like Julia. Someone else as his true love. His lifetime lover.

Fate and destiny wasn't cruel. She would make her own destiny. She would make him fall in love with her.

Three minutes before seven, they arrived at the port. Aside from public transport ships, there was a large yacht named Frances in italic. Words were emboldened in gold metals. The S had a mermaid tale at the tip of it. From the looks of it, it was something that was made for the richest man in the world. It sparkled on her eyes.

Doon lang niya namalayan na nakatayo ng ilang metro si Captain sa hinintuan nila ni Brizly. He was talking with someone on his cellphone seriously.

"Seven o'clock. Traveros will not let the boat sail without you," Brizly still talked while she was still amaze by the beautiful yacht. Hindi naman sa ngayon lang siya nakakita ng yate pero piniga ng palad ang puso niya.

Bridget didn't seem surprised by the reaction. Because of her pregnancy, she was fascinated by unexpected things lately. Buhol buhol na rin ang pag-iisip niya. Emotions were high that she didn't know if to cry or laugh. Tumaas na rin ang food in take niya pero strictly healthy foods lang. Ngunit minsan ay hindi niya maiwasan na kumain ng mga comfort foods such as french fries and chips.

"Wish me luck," she uttered with a sigh but her stomach made a hungry growl. Gutom na naman siya.

"Make my nephew proud. But in case the fight will be in defeat, remember, Ate, nandito lang ako. Nandito lang kami ni Mama kahit parang manok ang bunganga," she joked and laughed. "Mahal na mahal ka namin."

"I'll only take my vacation and test my luck, Brizly. Hindi pa ako magpapaalam..."

"This vacation will be your last chance. Whether you will know that your love will be returned or you will find another man that will love you. The true-love-sort of man." Tumango si Bridget. She actually smiled.
