Atty. Calvry (GxG) 💍

Epilogue

Hours, days, and weeks have passed.

"Happy birthday, baby!" I greeted my daughter, kissing her cheeks.

"Happy birthday, darling, I love you." Vera happily said, giving Einna her gifts.

"Thank you so much, Mommy, Momma!" pasalamat nito saka kami niyakap dalawa ni Vera.

We celebrated her day in one of the resort of Mallory that Clementine gave her. Nakuha ito ni Clementine dun sa taong may ginawang kasalanan sa organization, and she gave it to Mallory.

For now, hindi muna ako tumatanggap ng kahit anong businesses na binibigay ni Clementine kasi gusto kong focus muna ako kay Vera at Einna.

I wanna make up the years that I'm away with them.

"Happy birthday, sweetheart. Here are some of my gifts for you." bati ni Mallory sa anak ko saka inabot ang isa sa mga regalo niya. "And also your tita Cleo and tita Clems gifts are in your room already." dagdag niya.

"Thank you so much po, tita Llory." my daughter beamed as she Mallory's cheeks.

Hindi natuloy ang pagpunta nina Clementine at Beau dito sa Pilipinas dahil may naganap na namang engagement party sa palasyo nila.

Kailan kaya siya makakaalis sa kamay ng Reyna.

Sumunod naman lumapit sin Anastacia at ang asawa't anak nito.

"Yllez, let's play nowww!" hinila ng anak ni Anastacia si Einna palayo sa amin.

"Argh. How many times do I need to tell to not call me Yllez. That's how Mommy call Momma." rinig kong palatak ng anak ko habang nagpapahila sa anak ni Anastacia na si Kehla.

Napapailing nalang kami habang tinatanaw ang palayo nilang katawan.

"Look after them, baka pumunta sa dagat." utos agad ni Anastacia sa mga tauhan nitong nagbabantay sa anak nila.

Nag-usap pa kami saglit nina Anastacia at Mikaela, asawa nito saglit bago ko naisipan na ayain si Vera na maglakad-lakad sa may shore dahil malapit na ang sunset.

Magkahawak-kamay kaming naglalakad at ini-enjoy lamang ang simoy ng hangin at ang alon habang tinatanaw ang papalubog ng araw.

"It hasn't been a year since we met again." she uttered, looking straight.

"Yeah." sang-ayon ko. "Wala pang isang taon pero ang dami ng nangyari." dagdag ko.

"Wala pang anim na buwan, stress na stress na ako sainyong dalawa Vereinna."

Napanguso ako at parang batang napapadyak sa buhangin. Kaya pala ayaw niya munang dagdagan si Einna.

"See?" tawa ni Vera saka tumigil sa paglalakad at inaya akong umupo sa buhangin dahil malapit ng lumubog ang araw. "Even so, I still love you."

"And I love you more." I replied back.

At bago pa tuluyan mawala yung araw ay nanginginig ang kamay na kinuha ko yung maliit na box na dala ko saka lumuhod sa harapan ni Vera.

"I know I'm still young and I still have a lot to achieve and learn in life." I started. "But I want you to know that I'm certain that my love for you is eternal that even after this life I know my spirit and soul will still look for you because I don't see myself loving anyone else aside from you and our daughter and also our future babies."

"Y-Yllez." Vera's voice cracked as her she start shedding tears.

"Since the first time I met you, I already know that my future is you, I'm ready to risk everything just for you, Vera. I love you so much to the point that even if I didn't know yet that we are not actually siblings, still my heart won't stop loving you." I continued, wiping her tears away. "My soul and body chooses you because I'm proud to say that we are really meant to be with each other."

Nairap siya saka marahan tumawa at pinahid ang luha sa mga mata niya. Inabot ko naman ang kaliwang kamay niya saka isinuot dun ang singsing.

"Thank you for saying yes."

"Gago." napadaing ako ng bigla ako nitong hampasin sa balikat at sinamaan ng tingin.

Mapanakit talaga.

"Will you marry me?"

"Sinuot mo na, may magagawa pa ba ako?" ang sweet niya talaga.

"Meron naman, pero makikidnap ka ulit." I grinned.

"Well, if that's the case..." inilapit niya ang mukha niya sa akin. "Then, I'll be a willing victim."

I smile widely. "I love you so much, more than anything in this world."

"And I love you most."

"Forever, promise?" I licked my lower lips, ready to crash my lips to hers.

"Promise."

And we sealed it in a passionate kiss as the sun goes down and the wind waving our hair.

This is how our story started, there's no ending because we will still be with you as you read my friends love story.

I am Atty. Yllezabeth Freirain Calvry mother of Vereinna Yllez Calvry and the future wife of Professor Aneira Vera Hsu.

The end.
