WHEN WE MET HER

EPILOGUE

3 years later

••••

"Rhaine ! Don't forget your meeting at 2PM okay?" Rizs, my assistant shouted at me.

"I won't forget!" I shouted back. She just smiled at me before letting me get inside my car

It's his 3rd death anniversary. Actually kahapon pa, I didn't came because I knew Tita would be there. It's not that I'm avoiding her, I just don't want her to see me there. The last time, she told me that I have to move on and start a new life with someone but everyone knows I can't do that

As years passed, I've learned a lot of things I wished I knew before. Until now, I still blame myself for his death. Well, I was literally the one to blame, they're just too kind to me

I did started a new life with my company. I heard their company was being handled by his brother, Jeese. It was a good thing that he's back for good now. I just thought it'll be better if this happened before. Maybe, he'll be able to see this side of his brother and try to consider him as part of his family again

"How are you?" I asked as soon as I placed the flowers on his grave

Malinis at may kandila, bulaklak at ibang pagkain pa kaya alam kong dumating nga sila Tita kahapon.

"I still think It's just a dream. When will I be able to wake up, love? I want to see you again"

I closed my eyes as I lay down the grass, beside his grave. I want to see him so much but I still have a lot of things to do here. There's still a lot of bad people that needs to be punished for doing scary things. For killing someone who also wants to live like them

Ang daming pangarap ang nawala sa loob ng tatlong taong wala rin siya sa'kin. Before, I saw myself getting married about 3-5 years of being in a relationship with someone. Who knows that would never happen?

"When do you want to get married? And where?" I asked him, we're laying on our condo's sofa, watching a movie while Camille and Alex are sleeping on their rooms

"It's up to you. You're the one who must think about that"

"Mm.. why?" I asked, pouting at him. He just laughed at me before pinching my cheeks

"Well, it's because you know a lot about this things. Also, I'm giving you the rights to choose whatever you want for our best"

Ngumiti lang ako sa kaniya. He's literally trying hard being that sweet boyfriend that we often saw on television

"Hmm.. okay, then tommorow at 9AM?"

"That's too early! Make it at 11"

We both laughed at ourselves. That was the cutest thing I've experienced in this relationship. If only we could stay like that for the rest of our lives

"The restaurant we used to go to before.. they're closed now. The owner died this year and his family put the property for sale"

I was looking at the sky the whole time. I'm imagining that he'll appear there, so we could finally talk.

"Should I just buy it? That place.. really mean a lot to me"
