Bamboo and Asher is on the waiting area to board their flight to San Francisco. Almost 7 months has passed since their short vacation in The Farm. From that moment the two had learned to be more open with each other but they still have arguments even with the simplest things. They are going to attend Asher's parents anniversary this time.

Asher is sitting comfortably on the couch inside the first class waiting area. Her head leaning on Bamboo's shoulder. Both of them is just quiet. No one is saying anything.

He envelope her hands into his as his thoughts went to what's about to happen. She loves the feel of his hands on her as she looks forward to this trip of them.

He is excited and nervous at the same time. He's been planning this for months now. He had to coordinate with Pam and his mom and tita Divine to execute his plan. He even have to lie to Asher about having some recordings and out of the country commercial shoot so that he can personally check how things are done. He had everything planned. He have everyone's blessing. He flew to California and went back immediately to personally ask his Tito Delfin and Tita Divine for Asher's hand and they gave him their blessings. His parents are very supportive too. Everything is in place except for one important matter. Asher hasn't said yes to marrying him. Well he hasn't formally popped the question but he will and as soon as she said yes then they will come back to Manila as Mr. and Mrs. Francisco Manalac already.
He can't wait to call her his wife. He can't wait to start a family of his own.

After one of their fights , Bamboo realize one thing. He can live without Asher but he doesn't want to. He loves her that much. Just the thought that he will loose her almost made him paralyzed, lifeless. That's when he knew he want her in his life forever. And that no matter how much they argue, they will always find ways to be back in each other because they love each other and it is what pulls them together.
