- epilogue.
"He's getting married.." My brother suddenly said. While my make up artist and hair stylist are retouching my make up and hair. Hindi sila magkanda ugaga sa pagaayos sakin dahil 30 minutes na lang at nagulo pa ang eyeliner ko because I accidentally scratched it.
"I think I already know that." Ngiwi ko. At hindi na gumalaw to lessen their pressure because it's my fault that they're re doing my make up! Sorry po, bobo lang.
"You're having your biggest concert." He smiled. I just smiled at him and looked at the mirror. Shit, ang ganda ko.. bakit kaya hindi ako pinili? I shook my head and laughed.
When my make up artist are done with me I decided to rest for a bit. I still have 10 minutes.
This will be my biggest concert as of now so I'm really looking forward for this.
How I wish I could be with Amsterdam and Santi. I miss them so much. I didn't even saw a shadow of them noong bumalik ako sa pilipinas. They're not answering my calls and text. Their social medias are also deactivated. The last news I heard, Amsterdam left for San Francisco. While Santi.. I don't know If he's still pursuing his Baguio girl or what. I think they're mad at me for not telling them I'll leave.
I sighed and opened my phone when a notification popped up.
It's was from Instagram it's Astrei's recent post. It was Hannah with his 2 year old baby girl that he named after me.
Venice Augustine..
Now that she's two years old you can really see Astrei's face on her. She's very pretty. She got that hazel color eyes. I don't know where she got it because Astrei eyes is color brown while Stella is jet black.
Maybe sa'kin? Baka pinaglihian ako ni Stella? Well atleast may ambag ako sa anak nila. Kahit hindi ako yung nanay. I just laughed that thought and shook my head.
Noong bumalik ako sa pilipinas 2 years ago. I never came back again. I just stayed there for 2 days. Umuwi agad ano dahil hindi ko kaya ang sakit. But now I can see the progress. Because right know it's all clear to me that we're not destined for each other.
I never messaged Astrei again when I made that note. I just unblocked him last month.
I can see that he's very happy with his family. And I'm happy for that, I'm happy for him. I'm also happy for myself.
He's destined to marry Stella. While I destined to face the crowds and let them see my music. The music I was afraid of sharing before.
"Miss Veronica, ready please." The organizer told me so I got up with my mic before running towards the stage.
"Hello, Newyork!!" I shouted with glee and started singing my first song.
This is my happiness. This is where I belong to. This is my home..

Hi! This is chi, i bet you didn't expect this ending. Matagal ko talaga 'tong pinagisipan kung itutuloy ko ba yung real ending which is this or yung happy ending. But I decided to just go for the real ending. As you can see nag lagay ako ng warning sa pinaka umpisa to let you know that this SERIES is not light. I also put warning on chapter 80 to also let you know to stop reading if you're not ready. You can make that your ending or whatever you want. It's up to you. I also published S&C para makabawi, it's just not currently available because I'm editing it but I'm gonna post it din. I just want to let you know that this WHOLE series is full of angst. I'm not promising for perfect story you can cry on but I promise to do my best next time. I also want to thank those readers who's interacting with me. I swear your comments are encouraging me to write more stories. And for my silent readers. Your reads are more than enough. Thankyou for your support!
- love chi,
