Epilogue

A MONTH HAD passed. It was promised that he and Yrozze would go back safely. As they touched the Philippine soil, they have felt the presence of the coming Christmas. Mas naunang naglakad si Roscoe papunta sa loob ng airport habang nakasunod naman ang mga kasamahan nito. Manchester was a great experience. It was very beautiful and different. Roscoe had seen the Prince and he could say that he was definitely handsome, a great definition of hot.

Well, Yrozze punished him for that. For being enticed by His Majesty's handsomeness. But Roscoe just can't stop looking at him. He was just as perfect as it is. But that was only there. No more, no less. It was just normal.

They entered straightly inside the airport without looking at anyone. Not the people that constantly stared at them. There are also women who stared directly and gave Yrozze a slutty look, but he just brushed them off, looking at them with his brow raised as high as the mountains above.

"Yrozze sure looks very delicious." Beethoven chuckled.

"You say. Those women are very desperate to have someone like him, just so hot and efficient." Thelmarie chuckled. "They can't just fucking find another?" Calev interjected. "Bet they can't stand his sex." Beethoven said.

Patuloy lang sila sa paglalakad hanggang sa makarating sila sa labas. Hindi na nila kailangang kunin ang mga bagahe nila sa porter dahil hindi naman nila ito pina-check-in sa airport cargo. Kaya hindi na nila kailangang mag-atubiling pumunta do'n.

Pag kalabas nila ay nahagilap nila ang dalawang itim na convoy van.

"Magandang umaga ho sir! Maligayang pagbabalik dito sa Pilipinas!" Nakangiting bati ng mga driver nang makalapit sila dito. "Salamat po, Manong Jacob!" Ngiting pagpapasalamat ni Cameron.

Isinakay nina Beethoven, Cameron, Thelmarie, Calev at ni Hermes ang kanilang mga bagahe sa likod ng unang convoy. "Oh siya, magkikita nalang tayo sa susunod?" Sabi ni Thelmarie kay Yrozze. "Yeah, I'll see you soon." He smiled.

Nang makaalis ang unang van ay sumakay narin sila Roscoe at si Yrozze. Sinabi ni Yrozze ang address ng kanilang bahay. Tumango ang driver at saka umalis na ng airport. Sa kalagitnaan ng biyahe ay nakaramdam ng antok si Roscoe kaya napasapo ang kanyang ulo sa balikat ng kaanig.

Nagulat naman si Yrozze nang makita ang ginawa ng kasintahan pero kalauna'y napangiti rin. Hinawakan niya ang kamay nito at hinalikan ang kanyang ulo. "You did a great job there, babe. I love you." He whispered.

After a couple of minutes, he too, was sated with sudden sleepiness. And he finds himself closing his eyes. Together, as one, they have slept on the passenger's seat, all alone inside the van.

An hour after when Roscoe felt that the van had stopped, he prompted himself to open his eyes up. He saw that the van alreadys stopped at the right destination. He saw the driver went out of the van and walked towards the back and opened the back compartment of the car. "Yrozze, babe. Gising." Alog niya sa katabi. Umungol muna si Yrozze bago niya binuksan ang kanyang mga mata.

"Nandito na tayo?" Tanong niya.

Tumango naman si Roscoe.

Binuksan niya ang pintuan ng van at hinatak niya papalabas si Yrozze.

"Hey babe." He chuckled. "Easy, easy." Sabi niya. Pero inikutan lang siya ng mata ng kaanig. Meanwhile, the driver had already finished his job and he strolled the baggages inside the house. Then both of them preceded.

When they entered the house, they were greeted with different varieties of christmas decoration. The large christmas tree, embellished with different kinds of decorations was standing on a wall just beside the couch on the living room.
