Time really moves fast. Nine months had already passed. Aly's team had won the championship. Like the old times, she got the MVP award. Best server naman ang nakuha ni Bang.
Tuwang tuwa naman ang mga fans para sa couple at sa team. This helped boost the sales of the team's company.
Aly is really content with her life now. Laki ng utang na loob niya sa volleyball. Thru the sport, she was able to help the company; she was able to meet true friends; and she now has Bang, the person who truly makes her feel loved.
-----------------------
Aly is now at the living room of Bang's house. She and Bang will have dinner outside. The latter is still preparing. Kasama ni Aly ngayon si Mama Bha and their watching tv.
"Ang tagal talaga mag-ayos nitong si Bangnita ano? Sorry Aly ha," sabi ni Mama Bha.
"Naku Ma, okay lang yun. Sanay na po ako," said Aly laughing. She calls Bang's mother "Mama" too simula nung naging sila.
Bha loves hearing her idol calling her Mama.
"'Nak, thank you ha," said Bha.
"For what, Ma?" Aly asked.
"For loving my daughter. I have never seen her that happy."
Aly stood up and sat beside Mama Bha. She put her arm on Mama Bha's shoulders and said, "I should be the one thanking you, Mama. Kasi po you accepted our relationship."
"Tanggap ko naman yang anak ko. Hindi naman ikaw ang first."
"Kahit na po. Siyempre kung ibang parents po siguro, they would want their daughter to be married and have a family," said Aly.
"At sino namang nagsabi sayo na hindi mangyayari sa inyo ni Bang yun? Of course, you two would be married and will have your own family. Isa pa, chu-choosy pa ba ako, Alyssa Valdez na ang nagmamahal sa anak ko," said Mama Bha while pinching Aly's cheeks.
"Kaya love na love kita e. You're very supportive. Pa-hug nga po," said Aly to Mama Bha and hugged her.
"Basta promise me you'll take good care of her, okay? Mahal ko kayo pareho."
"I promise, Mama. Mahal din po namin kayo," Aly said, still hugging Mama Bha.
"Wala na. Nagselos na ko," said Bang while descending the stairs. She's wearing a white dress that Aly bought for her.
"End of the world na ba, Ma?" Aly asked Mama Bha.
"Bakit 'nak?"
"I see that angels are starting to go down na e," said Aly while looking at Bang. She stood up at sinalubong ito sa hagdan.
"Bumabanat ka pa Valdez ha," said Bang.
"Hindi banat yun. You look like an angel, honey. You're so beautiful," said Aly. She then kissed her girlfriend on the cheek.
"Wala ba kong hug? Nakita ko may ka-hug ka kanina," Bang said.
Aly hugged Bang. "Ma, sayo ba nagmana ng pagkaselosa ito?" Aly asked laughing.
"Ay hindi anak. Ganda ang ipinamana ko diyan," answered Mama Bha.
The three of them laughed.
"Paano ma? We'll go ahead na. Baka gutom na itong bolera na ito," Bang said while pinching Aly's nose.
"O sige. Mag-ingat kayo ha. Aly, focus sa driving. Bang, huwag landiin yung driver," said Mama Bha laughing.
"Iuwi mo rin yan before 12 midnight, Aly. Magiging kalabasa yan after 12," habol pa ni Mama Bha na tawa ng tawa.
The couple went out the door laughing.
---------------------------
"Okay. Safety measures first. Doors are locked na. Hon, please wear your seatbelt," Aly told Bang. They are in the car now.
"Ayoko pa," Bang said.
"Why?" Aly asked nakakunot ang noo.
"Because I still want to do this." Bang moved closer to Aly, put her hand on Aly's nape and kissed her. Aly responded to her kiss.
When Bang pulled away, Aly said, "Wow. Napaaga yata yung dessert ko ah."
Natawa naman si Bang. Aly moved closer to Bang, placed her seatbelt, and said, "Let's go, hon. I want you to be the happiest person tonight. I love you."
Bang smiled and said, "I'm always the happiest when I'm with you. I love you more, honey."
Aly then sped off.
------------------------
They are still in Aly's car. They are now at a crossroad. The stoplight is still red.
"Hon, where are we eating tonight?" Bang asked.
"Basta, I made a reservation in a restaurant. Hindi pa tayo nakakain doon. You'll love the place," Aly said.
"Basta dapat..."
Aly interrupted Bang, "Hep hep. I know what you're going to say. Basta dapat the food is great. Alam ko naman isa kang foodie."
"Mabuti alam mo," Bang said.
"Of course. I know you too well," Aly said with a smile.
"Just so you know, I trust your choices." said Bang while smiling back.

The green light is on.
Aly hit the throttle. They haven't moved far when a light caught Aly's right peripheral vision.
The next thing she knows is that she's still sitting in her car. She remembered the sound of impact, broken glass, and Bang's scream.
Bang! Aly thought. She opened her eyes and saw Bang, still sitting, unconscious. She tried to reach for her but the red blood on Bang's immaculate dress caught her attention first. Aly immediately reached for her phone.
----------------------
Denden's in her office, reviewing the information on her notepad. She's still in residency and is now specializing in neurosurgery.
She was about to drink her coffee when the hospital intercom came to life.
"Paging Dr. Lazaro. Dr. Lazaro to the E.R. please."
Den immediately put her coffee cup down and ran to the door.
