Worth Fighting For —
Fast forward.
Almost a year has past.
Paul decided to attend Syracuse University, majoring in Architecture and Urban Studies.
Louise is currently halfway through her fourth year in Med School and is hoping to match with the Pediatric Surgery Residency Program at Johns Hopkins.
As for Richard and Rachel? They're getting through life. Happily together. One step at a time. Rachel hasn't formally said they where they should be already, partly because Richard hasn't asked.
"Anong oras out mo later?" Richard asked.
"Mga 8:30 pero baka maging 9:00 kasi we're trying to finish our presentation as soon as possible. I just really want to get that over with na, " Rachel replied.
"Okay. Is it okay if I pick you up then let's go out for dinner?"
She smiled. "Yeah, that's fine. Para bnaman we're not house-work-house-work lagi." Rachel put her plate in the sink.
"Hatid na kita?"
"Well, I have to grab something pa on the way there."
He looks at his watch. "Okay lang naman saakin. We have time."
"O-Okay, sige." She grabs her bag from the couch.
They walk out the door. Richard shyly pried her hand and she willing held his. He looked at her.
"You can do that. Jusko, sa holding hands mahihiya ka pero sa kiss hindi?" She jokes.
This made him smile. He open the car door for her and made sure she didn't hit her head as she went inside.
They just picked up the food that Rachel wanted to get for her team. Halfway through the ride to her office, he turns on the radio. "Rach?"
"Hmm?"
"Can you open my phone then i-sync mo sa player through bluetooth? Tapos magplay ka ng song, kahit ano."
She grabs his phone from the deck. The lockscreen was the picture that Louise took of them at the dinner after Paul's graduation.. "Password?"
"Ikaw."
"Ako?"
He giggles, "Hindi, joke lang. Pero parang ikaw na din."
"Ano nga k—"
"It's the date of our wedding day."
She enters it. It opens.
Surprisingly, it was opened on Facebook. First on his feed was one of his recent posts. It was the selfie they took while waiting for the food for Rachel's team at the restaurant.
