Just as the moment between Sari and Gio settled into a comforting silence, Sari’s phone buzzed with an incoming call. She glanced at the screen and saw her mother’s name flashing. With a soft sigh, she answered, trying to keep her voice steady.

“Hi, Mom,” Sari said, her voice slightly hushed.

“Sari, where are you?” her mother’s gentle voice came through. “Akala ko ba babalik ka agad?”

Sari glanced over at Gio, who was watching her intently, concern flickering in her eyes. Sari took a breath, trying to keep the emotion out of her voice. “kamusta na ang anak ko mom? hanap niya ba ako? ”

Her mother’s tone softened even more. “Okay naman siya nag laro nga kanina. Pahinga ka muna anak. Your dad and I are at the hospital with Miyuki tonight”

Sari closed her eyes, feeling the weight of exhaustion and relief settle over her. “Thank you, Mom. madaling tulog lang po babalik din agad ako.”

“oh sige ikaw bahala. Just get some sleep, and don’t worry about Miyuki. She’s in good hands with us.”

Sari felt a lump in her throat as she whispered, “Thank you, Mom. I love you.”

As she ended the call, she felt Gio’s hand gently squeeze hers, bringing her back to the present. Gio’s gaze was filled with empathy and understanding.

As the hours slipped deeper into the night, the connection between Sari and Gio grew undeniable, an intensity that had been quietly building, now ignited by the years they’d spent yearning for each other.

The silence around them was thick with unspoken feelings, lingering looks, and a palpable energy that neither could ignore any longer.

Sari found herself tracing Gio’s hand with her fingertips, a simple touch that carried so much weight.

She looked up into Gio’s eyes, feeling the familiar spark, the pull that had always drawn her close to Gio.

Her hand moved to Gio’s face, caressing her cheek, fingers gently brushing over Gio’s skin as if making sure this moment was real.

Gio's gaze met hers, her eyes darkened with the same longing and need.

She brought her hand up to Sari’s face, cupping it with a gentleness that contrasted the intensity simmering between them. Slowly, she leaned in

“I’ve missed you so much, bebe,” Gio whispered, her voice full of a raw vulnerability she could no longer hide. “Every single day… I thought about you, about what we could have had.”

Sari’s eyes glistened as she leaned closer, feeling her heart beat wildly. “I missed you too, bebe. Even after everything, I never stopped loving you.”

their faces just inches apart, breaths mingling as the world around them faded into the background.

Sari’s heart pounded as Gio’s lips finally met hers, a kiss that started tender but grew deeper, more intense, as years of separation melted away in that single connection.

They moved in perfect harmony, as if the time apart had only made them more attuned to each other, more certain of what they shared.

With every kiss, every touch, they let go of the pain, the years lost, and poured everything into the present moment.

They found themselves wrapped in each other, hands exploring, memorizing, as they reignited the passion that had always been there.

The room filled with quiet whispers, soft gasps, and the sound of hearts beating in sync, a symphony of rediscovered love.

As the night wore on, they lay together, tangled in each other’s arms, every touch and shared breath bridging the gap that life had once forced between them.

In the comfort of the night, they rediscovered each other in every way, finding solace in a love that had stood the test of time.

And in those quiet, intimate hours, they knew that nothing would separate them again that they had finally found their way back to each other, bound by a love that was meant to last forever.
