For the Love of an Angel

Epilogue

Many years passed...

That day, nasa memorial park kami ni Rafael my loves. Nakatingin kami sa isang tombstone and pareho kaming naka-smile.

Mr. and Mrs. James and Elizabeth Ledesma, nakasulat sa tombstone. Here lies a couple with true love. They lived their lives on Earth like angels...

I know right? Angels naman sila talaga, di ba?

"Napakamakapangyarihan talaga ng tunay na pag-ibig," I heard from Raffy my loves. "Ang dami nilang pinagdaanan. Kahit anong nangyari, hindi sila bumitaw sa pag-ibig nila."

"Yeah," whisper ko lang.

Very true yung sinabi ni My Loves ko. Marami masyadong pinagdaanan sila Miguel and Isabel. Two lifetimes as human beings, and very long years as angels.

According to facts, ever since creation pala, may secret love na yung dalawa. Unfortunately lang, masyado silang busy sa angelic duties nila. Tapos magkaiba pa sila ng groups. Si Boss Migs, general ng first army. Si Isabel, second in command ng third army under General Rafael my loves. Na-involved pa si Raffy my loves ko sa story kasi nga close din sila ni Isabel.

After nung war in heaven, naging castaway na si Boss Migs. Nobody knew kung saan sa Earth siya napunta. Only one person knew--si Father Dear. And si Father Dear din pala yung nag-plan ng lahat. Naawa Siya kay Isabel when she begged na malaman kung nasaan si Boss Migs. Pumayag Siya sa request ni Isabel na maging guardian angel ng human person ni Boss Migs. Naka-violate si Isabel ng rules, pero binigyan pa rin siya ng chance ni Father Dear. Second chance life para kay Boss Migs, and an escape route for Isabel para mapuntahan niya si Boss Migs.

Kung bakit ganon yung plans ni Father Dear sa kanila, hindi ko alam. I could only guess. Siguro very important talaga kay Father Dear yung true love. Besides, sa Kanya naman talaga galing yun. You just have to fight for it and prove that it's true.

In the case of Miguel and Isabel, ipinaglaban naman talaga nila yung true love nila. Through thick and thin, through trials and persecutions, sila pa rin.

After namin silang iniwan sa Earth, they lived a very long life as human beings, pero marami pa ring trials and hardships silang na-experienced. Bumagsak yung businesses ng Ledesma Corporation. Marami silang trusted people na namatay. Nagkaroon sila ng conflict with people with authority. And so on, and so forth.

Papano nangyari yon? Kilala na kasi sila ng mga agents of darkness. Di nga ba nakalaban nila si Lucifer himself? So ayun, ginamit ni Lucifer lahat ng influence niya para i-down yung lolo't lola nyo. Hindi lang directly malabanan ng mga dark ones yung beloved couple natin because they knew na parehong in touch ang mga bida sa powers nila. No match kahit sinong demon or castaway sa kanila. Kaya ayun, patraydor yung atake sa kanila.

But they survived. It was a happy life pa rin because magkasama sila.

Eighty years old sila pareho when they died. Nagkaroon sila ng very serious disease and hindi na sila nagpadoktor, admitting to themselves na oras na talaga nila. We all know naman na kaya nilang i-heal yung mga sarili nila using their angelic powers, pero hindi nila yon ginawa.

They died in peace, leaving lots of friends pa rin na nag-mourn sa pagkawala nila. Sa dami ng natulungan nilang human beings, sobra yung naging appreciation sa kanila.

They lived like angels, sabi nga sa tombstone nila.

Angels nga kasi sila.

"Kahanga-hanga," sabi ni Raffy my loves.

"Amazing," sabi ko naman.

"Isang tunay na pag-ibig..."

"One true love..."
