BC # 3: Shattered Chains (COMPLETED)

EPILOGUE

MAGKASAMA sila ni Poseidon na naglalakad sa loob ng The Grand Egyptian Museum kung saan nila napagpasyahan na manirahan. Mahigit anim na buwan na noong nabuwag ang Bachelorettes' Club na inulan ng pagtataka ngunit kaagad namang natabunan ni Reich ng mga bagong isyu sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng Dating Show.

Sa ngayon, hinahayaan niya lamang ang sariling malibang sa magagandang destinasyon sa Giza, Egypt dahil babalik na sila ng Cairo mamaya.

"You seem happy, love." Takhang sabi ni Poseidon kasabay ng paghalik nito sa kaniyang kamay.

"I'm happy that we are starting our new lives. I mean, I'm sad that we can't gather because of the feud and the danger that may begin when the enemies are informed about us again." Panimula niya bago maupo sa isang bench na nasa gitna ng mahabang pasilyo. "Sa anim na buwan, wala pa naman akong nababalitaan na sumusugod dahil ibinalik na rin ni Emine lahat ng heirloom sa kaniya-kaniyang pamilya."

"So you're starting new? Then, why would we settle here? Don't you miss them?" Tumabi ito sa kaniya sabay hawi ng medyo humabang buhok.

"It is for the best. Mas maayos nang magkakahiwalay kami para hindi na manggulo ang Descendants. Ayaw nila kaming magkakasama dahil natatakot silang mabuo muli ang BC."

"Is it about the auctions?" Tumango naman si Ream bilang sagot. "I hope everything will be better. Specially for the both of us."

Napangiti siya nang titigan siya nito sa mga mata. Kahit kailan talaga ay hindi siya magsasawang titigan ang dagat sa mga mata nito.

"I hope that I can help you move on from what happened."

"You're helping me a lot, love." Sumandal siya sa balikat nito habang tinatanaw ang papalubog na araw. "Thank you for being here with me."

"Thank you for loving and choosing me. I should be the one saying that, Ream." Nakangiting sabi ni Poseidon sa kaniya.

"Sorry if we have to live in a mansion full of guards." Nakanguso niyang saad sa nobyo.

Magmula noong lumipat siya muli sa Ehipto, sinigurado niyang mayroon siyang tagabantay na magmula pa noon ay nakakasama na niya. Ito ay ang mga dating guwardiya sa mansyon ni Abha na siya mismo ang pumili.

"It's okay. I can understand that it is for our safety. Although I don't think that they will chase you because everything has ended." Poseidon cupped her face and gave her a soft kiss. "Thank you for choosing me."

"You're a walking green flag. Why shouldn't I?" Natatawa niya saad bago ayaing tumayo si Poseidon. "Let's eat with your family. I invited them as a surprise for your birthday today."

"You did?" Kusang lumiwanag ang mukha nito nang marinig ang magandang balita. "Thank you, love. I appreciate it so much!"

"Don't worry about them. I got my men to guard them. Okay?" Hinalikan niya ito sa noo. "Really, love. Thank you for helping me to move on. And showing me that I am worthy to be loved."

"You don't have to thank me, love." Poseidon caressed her face with his thumb.

"Come on?" Paanyaya niya sa kasintahan na agad namang humawak sa kaniyang kamay. "Giza is my father's hometown. I lived here for months but my mother decided to go back to Philippines."

Nagsimula silang maglakad papalabas ng museo para umuwi kung saan naghihintay ang mga magulang ni Poseidon.

"Are you sure that you want to talk about this?" Muling paalala ni Poseidon dahil alam nito kung gaano kahalaga sa kaniya ang mga magulang. Magmula pa noon ay nahihirapan na siyang i-kwento ang tungkol dito. 

"I decided to cremate them  and bring back them here where their love story started." Nakangiting sagot niya. "I thought that it was the end of the world when they died. When I heard the news that they died because of an accident, I didn't know what to do. Specially, their money was used to pay for their debt."
