FROM the very first time until the nth time she step on Max' yacht, she still remember every memories they made on this special yacht. They watch every sunrise, enjoy the afternoon eating fresh fish for lunch, they watch sunset together and their most favorite, star gazing on the top deck of the yacht. They even made love there sometimes.

Who would have thought that it has been year and months. Ate Hera's still missing but she can feel it that she's in  a better place where she had peace and serenity. She keeps wishing on every falling star that she and her baby is all well. She also wish that Kuya Magnus can find Ate Hera fast.

She's on the yacht again. Nakatingala sa nagkikislapang mga bituin. Nakisama ang mga stars sa kanila. This night is special. 

Naramdaman niya ang pagyakap ni Max mula sa kanyang likuran. She close her eyes feeling the warmth of his body. Max' kiss her temple lovingly.

"Happy 25th birthday, Mahal ko..." Malambing na bati ni Max.

She smiled and turn around to face him. Their eyes are twinkling in happiness. This is the night they're both waiting for.

"Thank you. I'm happy that it's my birthday, too." She smiled.

"We're happy that it's your birthday, too."

Napalingon siya sa likuran ng binata. Her parents are here! Even her brothers. She giggled and approach them. Niyakap niya ang magulang. Hinalikan naman nang daddy niya ang kanyang buhok habang ang mommy niya ay humalik sa kanyang pisngi.

"Happy graduation in Hiraeth, princess." Maligayang bati ng Mommy niya.

"Thank you, Mommy."

Sunod siyang lumapit sa triplets. Niyakap siya ng mahigpit ni Kuya Uno, the brother that guides her in life.

"Parang dati lang kinakarga pa kita para bumili tayo ng cotton candy. Ngayon, baby ka na ni Max- candy." Kuya Uno said.

She giggled on that. She bid I love you to her Kuya Uno before approaching Kuya Dos, the brother that never fails to make her laugh. Natawa siya nang iangat siya nito at inikot. She remembered that he used to do that before when she's still a kid.

"Ako pa ang taga-ikot mo, ngayon sa iba na umiikot ang mundo mo." Malambing na sabi ni Kuya Dos. Minsan lang itong manlambing dahil kadalasan itong mang-asar.

"I love you, Kuya Dos! I really miss your pang-asar." She smirked.

And when she faced his cold brother that prioritize her safety, support her lovelife and do anything for her happiness, she can't help but to sobbed. Niyakap niya ang Kuya at napahikbi.

"I can kill to protect you and now, you got someone to sacrifice his life to keep you happy and alive. I never regret having sleepless nights just for you to enjoy your dates with him." Kuya Tres voice broke that made her cry even more. 

She knew his sacrifices and Kuya Primo's with the other Benjamin, too. They made their relationship to be smooth and strong. They work together for their love, she's forever thankful to the Benjamin family. Walang iwanan at handang magtulungan.

"Thank you so much, Kuya Tres. I love you so much. I'm thankful to be your princess." Maluha-luhang sabi niya.

Her mother pulled her to wipe the tears on her face and for a retouch. Yes, she can't ruin her beautiful face tonight.

"Slay, besh." Max said while looking at her being retouch by her Mom.

She laughed and rolled her eyes at him. Kalmadong nakatitig naman si Max sa kanya, parang mangha-mangha itong mas pinapagandahan siya.
