*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Year 2020

"Napapadalas ang inom natin ah!" Sabi ni Fred while he hands Gerald another around of liquor to his table.

"Hindi naman!" Sagot ni Gerald. "Nice club you got here."

"Eh, it's nothing compared to your very own condominium!" Says Fred. "I still can't believe you invested on that."

"Showbizness is not forever my friend." He cheers with him. "I can't believe you're getting married!"

"In the next two years pa naman. Ipon muna."

"I can't believe it's with Thee Rachelle Ann Go!" He chuckles. "How did you pull that off?"

"Ikaw na rin ang nag sabi, pag naramdaman mo. You'll know. And you were right!" He cheers with Gerald.

"Ahhhh. Love. Pag ibig." Gerald laughs and takes another shot. "Putanginang yan!"

Fred shake his head. He stands by his friend, always. Alam niya mahirap ang pinag dadaan. G kaibigan nya. But all he can do is be there for him. "Hey hun, sorry I have to stay late. Its Ge." He calls his fiancé.

"Oh nag iinom na naman ang jowa mo," says Rachelle teasing Sarah.

"Hayaan mo sya!" Sarah reply while cutting vegetables.

They're both in Rachelle's house. She's in the Philippines for a month long break. Then, she goes back to New York to star in a new broadway show Burlesque.

"So, matutuloy ang MMK nyo ng jowa mo?" Ask Rachelle while she drinks her red wine.

Sarah nods. "And stop saying he's my jowa. Hindi no! Wala na kami!"

"Weeeeehhhh? Di nga?!" Rachelle joke. "Bakit ayaw mo pa sabihin sa kanya?"

"I don't want to ruin what he and Bea have. Hindi ko kaya yun. I rather ako mag hirap." She starts stirring the vegetables that she cut. "Alam mo yun?"

"Sis 2020 na noh! Hindi na uso yan pa martyr. Its time to be really happy. We are not getting any younger. Don't you want to have a family of your own? Get married?" Rachelle ask curiously.

Sarah stop what she's doing. "Of course I do!" She look at her. "I know everything will fall to places. Everything will be okay." She goes back to cooking. "Let me figure this thing out for myself."

"Okay." Rachelle take another sip of her wine. "You know I'm always here. At yan ay forever!"

Rachelle and Sarah looks at each other. "Tayo na lang kaya?" Says Sarah.

"Tigilan mo ako Sarah ha!" Rachelle laughs.

December 2018

Sarah and Gerald were celebrating Christmas early. As they planned. Sarah is going to celebrate Christmas and New Years with her family in Paris. Then after, to Italy with Mateo because she promised him. Things with her and Gerald aren't so great. There was a lot of blind items pointing towards them. They are running out of excuses to tell the media. Bea and Mateo are also getting suspicious.
