Chaotic Love Affair✔️ (COMPLETED)

Chapter 33 - End of Everything

Epilogue

Gabrielle

Here Am I at where Elle and I lived. Mahirap para sa'kin na bumalik sa lugar na 'to at ito ang unang pagkakataong bumalik ako rito simula nung araw na nawala si Elle sa tabi ko. This place reminds me of Elle. I feel like I can sense the sadness she must've felt when we are still together. As I look around Elle's room, I see our wedding picture displayed in her work table. Hindi ko masisisi si Elle kung hindi niya gustong bumalik sa'kin. I've hurt her so much and what we've gone through is not easy. I regret not loving her early, I regret that I've only realized everything when she's already gone by my side.

If I go back in time, I will make things right pero wala eh, nandito na kami. I sat on her bed while still holding the divorce papers she's been asking for, from the very beginning. Only if I didn't begged and forced her to come back in the Philippines with me, she wouldn't feel sadness and trapped in this lonely marriage.

I took a deep sigh and took the wedding picture at the table. "Kuya." I heard Celestea's voice. I turned and she's standing in the door.

"What?" I asked while still holding the papers and the wedding picture of me and Elle.

"Son." I heard my mom speaks kasunod siya ni Celestea.

"Are you sure about your decision?" Tanong ni Mommy tapos lumapit siya sa'kin at naupo sa tabi ko.

"If this will make her happy, why not. Ma, I've caused enough pain on her and I don't want to be selfish by keeping her by my side." I said while I hold back my tears.

Hindi nagsalita si Mommy pero alam kong malungkot rin siya sa desisyon ko at lalong lalo na ni Elle. My mom didn't respond on what I said and she just hugged me. She loved Elle like her real daughter. Nung nalaman ko na tinago ni Mommy sa'kin na buhay pa si Elle. I got so mad pero malaki ang pasasalamat ko sakaniya for protecting Elle and keeping her away from danger.

"Kuya, tumawag sa'kin si Michael at sabi niya makikipagkita raw si Ate Elle sakaniya para magpaalam, baka raw gusto mong pumunta para makapagpaalam ka din kay Ate Elle." Celestea said so I turned to her with disbelief.

Walang sinabi sa'kin si Elle na aalis na ulit siya papuntang ibang bansa, the last time I saw her is nung sa event pa. Maybe she didn't tell me dahil ayaw niya lang na kulitin ko siyang makipagbalikn. She never contacted me after the event at do'n ko na isip na baka nga, she really want this divorce, na baka ito lang ang makakapagpasaya sakaniya.

When I arrived at Michael and Elle's location, I immediately saw them from a far. Elle looks so happy while talking to Kie. She's blooming.

I heard Elle complaining to Michael because he's trying to defend my name in front of Elle. "Teka nga, why are you trying to defend him? Ako 'yung BESTFRIEND mo ab?" I heard Elle jokingly asked Kie so I decided to come forward and approach them. I can see through Elle's facial expression that she's shocked and surprised to see me here.

"Not anymore." I answered Elle's question to Kie, eto namang si Kie sinakyan ang joke at inakbayan ako at sabay naming tinawanan si Elle.

Ah, gano'n so kayo na 'yung mag BFF?" She said sarcastically.

"Umalis kasi kayo ni Madi eh, di niyo ko sinama! Buti pa si Gabrielle sinasamahan ako sa inuman!" Pabirong depensa ni Michael sa sinabi ni Elle tapos ay naupo ako sa tabi ni Elle. Well, he's correct, when we both got no one, we found each other's company and I guess it turned out well. Well, I like our duo though.

When Elle turned to me to ask how my mom's doing, I can see the awkwardness in Michael's expression, looks like he's cringing!

"Should I go and leave you guys alone?" He said and frowned as if he was cringing on what he seeing.
