Epilogue

Imogen Suarez POV

"Love... Alis muna ako, Okay?" 

Nilingon ko si Shiloah at tumango. He gave me a sweet kiss in the lips and then left.

Ngayon ang araw kung kailan pinili niyang lumisan kaysa lumaban. Yes, today is his death anniversary and we decided to visit his grave here in Switzerland. Hindi inihatid sa Pilipinas ang katawan niya noong namatay siya.

"Our paths met again Parker. With my lovely daughter Imogen and your handsome nephew Parker. I wish you are happy to where you are right now. Wish granted." I smile when I felt the wind. It's as if he was happy too.

"I am Imo. And also I am grateful you came to visit me here."

I froze.

My breathing suddenly stops.

That voice was really familiar.

The voice of the man I once loved.

What on earth is happening?

I slowly turn at my back and just by a glimpse of him, tears run down my face. I can hold it anymore. I don't know if I am just hallucinating when I saw him smiling there looking at me. Did I just miss him a lot to see him in front of me? It just makes me cry even more.

"Parker..." I said in between my sobs.

"How are you Imogen Harrison Suarez?" He is smiling while walking towards me then stops when we were already face to face. "I hate to see you cry. Shhh..." He said as he wiped my tears.

"A-are you r-real?" I stutter as I ask those words. He chuckle as he takes my hand and guided it to his face.

"Am I warm?"

"No." His brows knitted.

"You're Hot." I made a joke. He burst into laughter. How I miss this guy.

"How could this happen Parker?" I asked confusedly.

"Your husband and Quinn made it happened Imo. Kinuntsaba nila ang operator dito at ibang gamot ang ibinigay sa akin. When I woke up I heard you."

"Ha?"

"I heard your voice. I thought nasa langit na ako but I can't still see my surroundings. Akala ko ba maliwanag sa langit? I jokingly ask my self that time. Then I heard you again shouting that I am already awake."

"I can't understand you Parker." He smile again.

"Pwedeng umupo tayo? Mahaba-habang explanation pa to e." Nang makaupo na kami, he continued.

"So, yung nga dahil narinig kita ay tinawag kita."

Flashback...

Parker's POV

"I-Imogen..." I called her.

"Sir, just wait here. I already called the doctor."

"What are you doing here Imo? Umalis ka na! Hayaan mo na akong mamatay. Bakit di pa ko patay?!" I shouted hysterically.

"Calm down sir. Please." Narinig kong bumukas ang pinto at mukhang may pumasok. Hinawakan naman ako sa braso at may itinurok. Unti-unti ko na namang naramdaman na parang hinahatak ako para matulog.

"Imogen..." I called again. Before I lose my consciousness, I feel someone hold my hand and said.

"I'm not Imogen. I'm Angela."

(Flashback ends here.*)

Imogen's POV

"Angela happened to be my nurse at that time. Palaging siya ang umaasikaso sa akin at kapag out niya na sa trabaho ay pinipuntahan niya rin ako. I really thought you are her. You both have the same voice. Noong una akala ko rin sinabi niya lang na hindi siya ikaw para hindi ako magwala."

"She encouraged me to undergo operation para makakita ako ulit at makapaglakad. She's there in every step of the way. When time came na pwede nang tanggalin ang bandage sa mata ko, I saw a pair of blue eyes." Mataman niya akong tinitigan.

"And you thought it was me?"

"Yes. Pero noong unti-unting luminaw ang paningin ko. I saw Angela smiling. My heart skips a beat. And that moment I finally realize, living is much fulfilling than dying without fighting."

"Thank you for fighting Parker. You deserve to live." We embrace each other.

"Daddy!"

A kid ran to us. I look at Parker and he is so happy to see the boy. The kid jump into him.

"Daddy I was looking for you. I'm hungry already." Then he put his hand onto his stomach. That makes Parker laugh.

"Okay baby. We'll go in a minute. But first I want you to meet someone."

"Okay Daddy."

"I want you to meet your Tita Imogen. Introduce your self to her." Parker put the boy down.

"Hello Tita Imogen. I am Patrick Angelo Yapchengco. 9 years old. I will be a famous soccer player when I grew up!"

"Yes you will." I patted his head. Shiloah showed himself later together with a lady.

"Mommy!" The boy ran to the lady and hugs her.

"So, shall we?" Said Shiloah when he came near me. I nodded.

"Thank you Saint..." Parker called him jokingly.

"Sure Paker." 

He responded too and offers his hand for a handshake. Iniabot ko kay Parker ang ilang mga litrato sa kasal nina Imo at Parker.

"They made it happen for us."

Parker smiled contently.

"Yeah. They are meant for each other."

Nilingon ko naman si Shiloah na nakaakbay sa akin habang ako ay nakaabresite sa kanya.

"I love you so much." Then timingkayad ako para bigyan siya ng isang halik. When our lips met, I realize.

"You're the one who is really meant for me. Thank you for coming to my life. I love you, Shiloah, my love..."
