Things Must End To Begin Again

SETTLE DOWN (part 2){final}

Hi...

Finally this is the final chapter of the story!!

As the title said, you can expect that this chapter will be pretty much about how things fall in places between Raquel and Sergio for good ( and as much warm and fluffy moments as I can manage. And oh! It's a super long chapter, be warned)

I — from the bottom of my heart — thank you so so so much for you guys who gave this story a  comment and voted. I appreciate it and it really makes my day .

I know there's a lot of lacking but I had so much fun composing the story and I hope it brings the same to you. ( and honestly I didn't expect myself writing 19 chapters! And maybe I will miss this Marquina family too 😆 )

Last but not least, hope you guys always have a good day wherever you are in the world. XOXO : )

*******************

It's been a couple of weeks since Raquel's drama finished airing. As expected from the ace actress, it was a successful one, she didn't just say it when she said she's gonna make yet another hit drama before she decided to sign the contract.

As every hard work deserved a reward, a little celebration would do the justice just fine. Of course, Raquel and all the drama crew were already having the mandatory wrap up party, but she needed to have another one that's more intimate with her dear close friend.

Maybe she'd have another celebration that's more private with her daughter and her lover. Or maybe she'd have a more romantic celebration with only Sergio. Everything sounds great to her.

Anyway, that's the reason Raquel, Tamayo, Tatiana and Alicia were having a somewhat party in the Black Tone Headquarters that afternoon.

"Is Paula with Sergio right now?" Tamayo asked.

"Yup! Paula is into figurine right now and Sergio had a bunch of it. They're probably lining them up and displaying them on the window stool of his apartment" Raquel explained, her eyes beaming as she could imagine their behavior.

And there's Tatiana who sighed and jolting her lips out, saying that somehow she felt bitter that Paula now spending more time with Sergio.

Her expression soon changed, she was startled and contorted her face, popped her eyes toward Alicia as her palm reached Tatiana's head along the with a light smacking sound.

"Sergio is her father, how can you be jealous?" Alicia remarked.

"But I'm taking care of her since she was just a baby. I changed her diaper, got peed, taught her to walk..."

And that's how the bickering went on between the two. Meanwhile, Raquel and Tamayo were just amused looking at them.

When someone knocked the door, that's when Tatiana and Alicia stopped throwing their petty arguments.

"Let me open the door" Raquel suggested. "Go ahead with the quarrel, don't be bothered" she purposely making fun and teasing them. To that, Alicia and Tatiana sighed and looked away at the same time.

"Another present?" Tamayo asked as looking at the big flower bouquet that's way bigger than Raquel's head, he couldn't even see her face. Along with it, there's a quite big envelope too, definitely bigger than the normal greeting card size.

"Must be from Sergio" Tatiana was so sure, doing the nodding gesture of self-acknowledgment on how smart she guessed.

"I was thinking the same but no, it's not from Sergio. It's his mother" As she informed that, actually she was as astonished as the rest of her friends.
