Epilogue

As much as Isobel wants to have Elias stay in their city, she doesn't let her selfishness take advantage just because she wants him by her side.

Some people needs him to be by their side. And that includes his family.

Kakayanin niya naman siguro ulit ang six months na walang pagkikita, hindi ba?

May Facetime naman at Messenger kung gusto nilang makita at tawagan ang isa't-isa.

Nakaya nga nilang hindi mag-usap ng walong buwan. Sisiw na lang ito sa kanilang anim na buwan ngayong may namamagitan na rin sa kanila.

Days will just fly like they're not aware of the time.

Minsan ay hindi na rin namamalayan na naroon sa sitwasyon na hinihintay nila.

They never know what the future holds for them.

Kaya nang sinundo nila Amiel, Calvin, Candice at Bella si Elias gamit ang kotse ni Amiel, ay hinatid nila ito sa airport at hindi muna pinapasok ng departure si Elias.

Bella is still practicing a script in her head as she planned the gift she wanted to give to Elias. Kinuntsaba niya pa 'yong tatlo para lang hindi makahalata si Elias sa plano niya.

"Alis na muna tayo. Magbe-bebe time pa 'yan." Pang-aasar sa kanila ni Calvin na inikutan lang ng mata ni Bella.

Which is the favourite gesture of Elias that Bella does.

"Ingat, idol. Sabay pa tayong magte-take ng CET next year." Amiel tapped Elias' shoulder.

"Copy, idol!" Elias responded.

Candice just waved at them and raised her brows up and down at Bella before turning her back at goes separate from the way Amiel and Calvin took.

Bella held both Elias' hands and Elias pulled her closer to him. His hands slowly made their way to her waist, the same goes for Bella.

"Huwag ka na lang kaya tumuloy?" Bella teasingly begs him.

"Alam mo kung paano ako tumiklop, boss. Baka bumalik talaga ako."

"Tara na," Bella smiled which made her nose scrunched.

Elias found it cute and leaned his forehead to Bella's forehead.

"Babalikan kita, Bella. Kaya natin tiisin 'tong six months." Elias smiled and planted a kiss on her nose.

"Doon na kayo magne-new year, 'no?"

"Oo, para may kasama rin sina Lola." Still holding the back of her waist.

"Wait! 'Yung regalo ko pala!" As she suddenly remembered the gift that is long time overdue.

Kumalas si Bella sa pagkakayakap a sinenyasan si Elias na bumaba para bumulong.

Elias crouched down, levelling Bella's height.

Bella leaned closer and whispered to his right ear.

"Gusto mo bang bumalik ng Cavite na may kasamang girlfriend?" Bella whispered.

Bella puts a smile on her face, waiting for Elias to process the thing he just heard.

His eyes are still on Bella but his height is slowly rising which made Bella stretch her neck.

Bella took something from her tote bag she brought and revealed a ticket that she secretly booked when she offered to book Elias' flight back to Cavite.

Elias recovered from the surprise her girlfriend did and plastered a smile, holding Bella's hand and intertwining their fingers.

"Tara na?" Aya ni Bella kay Elias.

"Uwi na tayo."
