You will see... Kung ano ang pinakawalan mo... I have made the biggest mistake of my life by loving you... "Sambit ni Zera habang lumuluha.

Habang nakatitig sa larawan nila mag-asawa at iyon na rin ang nakatulugan niya.

Inabot na ng isang buwan si Vladimir sa France pero wala siyang balita man lang kung nasaan si Zera.

" Vladimir... I think it's time to go home... The company needs you... Isang buwan ka ng wala... I know it's important for you to find your wife but you have a compony to run... There's only 5 months left... And we haven't done anything yet..." Sambit ni Don Rafael.

"I know Lolo... Sorry... Napapabayaan ko na ang kompanya... Uuwi na ako pero hindi pa rin ako titigil sa paghahanap sa asawa ko..." Sambit ni Vladimir.

"I understand... I'm also finding a way to find her... Magtiwala ka lang... Makikita mo rin siya..."Sambit ni Don Rafael.

On the way to the airport ay Biglang tumigil ang pag-galaw ng sinasakyan ni Vladimir.

"What's the matter? Why did we stop?" Tanong ni Vladimir sa driver.

"Sorry Mr. Monteverde. We have to give way. That is the convoy of the Duke of Normandy. I guess he fetch the Countess for a date. He's lucky Sir... The Countess is indeed a beauty. Everyone envies him." Sambit ng driver na hindi mapigilan ang bibig sa pag kwento.

Hindi na sumagot si Vladimir at sinilip na lang niya ang tinutukoy nitong Duke. He looks familiar pero tanging likod na lang ng babaeng kasama nito ang nakita niya ng pagbuksan nito ng pinto ng sasakyan.

"She looks so royal but my Zera is the most beautiful girl alive..."Sambit ni Vladimir sa sarili bago muling umandar ang sinasakyan.

The whole restaurant was reserved by Duke Andrew. He wants everything to be special for Chandria Margaretha.

" Thank you for this Andrew. You never failed to make me feel so special."Sambit ni Chandria Margaretha na nakangiti.

" Because you are My Lady..."Sambit ni Andrew.

"They are a lot of ladies Andrew. Why me of all people...? I have been married and that is really not good for you..." Sambit ni Zera.

"No other woman have made me a better man Chandria. I just felt it... Even I don't know the answer... It's something I just felt and I can't fight it. You make me happy without even making an effort."Sambit ni Andrew.

"I don't wanna stay in the past anymore Andrew... Zera is gone... I want to move forward..."Sambit ni Zera.

" Chandria... Are you ready to try open up your heart...?"Tanong ni Andrew sabaay hawak sa kamay ni Zera pero hindi kaagad nakasagot si Zera.

It means leaving all the past behind right?" Sambit ni Chandria feeling her heart with Andrew's touch, it felt warm.

"Yes... And I will be with you along the way..." Sambit ni Andrew na hindi pa rin binibitawan ang kamay ni Zera.

"I... I think I'm ready to try..." Sambit ni Chandria Margaretha.

"I'm in no rush my Lady... I will make my way into your heart. Now that you've opened it... I will do everything to make it beat again..."Sambit ni Andrew.
