Gabrielle (Professor Series #1) ✔︎

EPILOGUE

NATASHA

Days, weeks, months, and now five years have passed since she left us, she left me.

It's hard. It's really hard, especially when you think that the person you hope will be with you for the rest of your life will suddenly leave.

Over the past five years, many things have changed. Her parents are still here in Manila, and there are no plans to return to their place where they were supposed to be after Gabrielle's graduation, but they did not continue to leave due to unexpected incidents. Over the 5 years they have a business here, a little coffee shop with the name 'Gabrielle's Haven', which is the one I also name and sponsor. Tita, Tito and I were partners. I really want to give it to them, but they don't want to and they want to be my business partners, which I agree with. So I was forced to be their business partner in this coffee shop.

Sometimes I come here and help them when I'm not busy and not attending my school where I was the owner when Dad named the school to me where Gabrielle was studying. Yep, I'm still teaching until now with my two best friends.

About my Gabrille's friends. They also work after graduating, and they are getting better, and they are mature enough. Ms. Javier is a CEO at their own company, while Ms. Dela Paz is also a full-time actress in the field of the show business industry when someone from the showbiz industry discover her talent in acting during their role play in college last 5 years ago. Actually, she will also be the CEO in her own company like Ms. Javier, but she herself did not want it. Her father was angry at her decision, so they had a misunderstanding. Her mom respects her decision, except to her dad. It wasn't long before her father accepted her decision since Ms. Dela Paz said that after 5 years she will quit showbiz immediately.

And about my friends, they are still the same, and nothing has changed, except for the love life of the two of them, which is very healthy, and they're so happy with it.

Maxine, my cold friend, and Ms. Dela Paz have been dating for a long time. I think 7 years? I'm not sure, though, since 3rd-year college. It's obvious that there's something going on between my friend and Ms. Dela Paz. Actually, way back then it was obvious that there was something with them. In their secret glances at each other, I knew. I just didn't care about it at first because I think they just have a misunderstanding with each other or galit sa isa't-isa, but gosh, I didn't expect that they would be able to hide their relationship for too long until Ms. Dela Paz graduated. Like heck! My friend is really strong to wait for her that long, eh? I mean, I thought that bitch was straight. Yun pala ay hindi at pasekreto ng humaharot sa estudyante niya. On the other side, I'm so happy for them indeed, and I wish them all the best in life, and hopefully, they end up together until the end. I think they can now get married na nga, eh, sa sobrang tagal nila. I don't know why they are so pagong. Obvious naman na mahal nila ang isa't-isa.

A cold and quiet mysterious. Matchy, right?

And about my other friend, Ava is going strong with her boyfriend now, Brett. I don't know how long they have been in a relationship, but I know they are bago lang. I thought Ava still loved Ms. Javier, and she'd wait for her to come back since that's what she always told me and Maxine. After Gabrielle's burial. Ms. Javier left suddenly kasi and came back after 3 years to become a full-time CEO at their own company. Actually, my friend Ava came to us that day when Ms.Javier left her because she bid goodbye to her, but she didn't know the reason why her lover suddenly left her, so my friend was really crying and devastated that day, like her other soul left her. I don't know what happened to the two of them. I didn't even have any idea that those two had a something in the past like Maxine and Ms. Dela Paz. Actually, when Ms. Javier confessed to Ava her feelings but rejected her since my friend was straight, Ms. Javier herself did not give up, and she was so persistent even though my friend was pushing her away. When it reached the point where Ms. Javier gave up chasing her, my friend was always jealous and became possessive to her all of a sudden.
