Could This Be Love?

Epilogue

Ella's POV

"I'm really on my way." I said and cross the street. I even heard the huge screen outside the other buildings about some scandal regarding about an artist getting rejected by its non-showbiz girlfriend. I sighed. I'm glad we are over about those issues and scandals.

"Wala kang maloloko, Ella. Hindi ako magpapabiktima diyan sa OTW na yan. Ano? Naliligo ka pa lang ba?" she said, still not believing a word I said.

"I'm not forcing you to believe me, Rhea. Nasa loob na nga ako ng building, eh." And then, I bowed to some of the staffs here.

Merong mga bagong mukha at meron pa rin yung mga dati, pero iilan na lamang. It's been five years, I doubt that some of the staffs will still be working here.

"Oh, you mean nasa loob ka na ng banyo? Okay. Bilisan mong maligo, ah? Excited na ako!" she said and suddenly giggled.

Kumunot naman ang noo ko atsaka pumasok na sa loob ng elevator.

"Rhea, I know you're going through something. But I'm not expecting you'll be like this?"

"Hay! Ang bagal mo kasi! Excited na ako!" she said in an irritated tone, but you can still hear her giggles through the other line.

As I stepped out the elevator, I went to their practice room. Binabaan ko na lamang si Rhea, bahala siya. Unti-unti naman akong napangiti as I turned the doorknob. Parang kailan lang noong na-disband sila, but now? They're back again.

"Walang hiyang Ella na yun! Babaan ba naman ako–" narinig kong talak ni Rhea nang makapasok ako.

Napahinto naman siya nang makita ako. Atsaka unti-unting nagtaas ng kilay.

"What? Sabi ko sayo nandito na ako." I said innocently and greeted some of them inside the practice room. Inirapan na lamang niya ako atsaka kinausap si Shin.

"Resting?" I asked when I notice they were just sitting on the floor.

"Nope, hinihintay lang namin sina Jung Suk" Si Min naman ang sumagot.

Tumango na lamang ako atsaka naglakad papalapit kina Ell, habang lumilinga dahil wala siya rito sa loob. Maybe he went out?

"Hi, Ell." I said and smiled at her.

Ngumiti naman siya at ako naman ay naupo sa tabi niya. Napalaki naman ang ngiti ko nang makita kong nilalaro nila ang kanilang rattle.

I slowly went closer to their stroller. "Hello, Elise!" I playfully said and softly tickled her stomach.

Bumaling naman ako rito sa kakambal niya. "And hello to you, Venice." And I softly tickled her stomach, as well.

"Ang bilis nilang lumaki, Ell. It seems like it was only yesterday when you gave birth to the both of them." Sabi ko atsaka naupo na ng maayos.

"Yeah, all of the pain I've been through giving birth to them.. was worth it." she slowly smiled while looking at her eight month twins.

Napangiti naman ako sa kanya. "Hindi naman sila masyadong malikot?" I asked her.

Umiling naman siya. "No, not really. They behave like angels. Kahit gabi." Tapos bigla naman siyang natawa ng mahina atsaka lumapit sa akin para may ibulong. "Actually, mas malikot pa nga ang Papa nila." She maliciously said and then giggled.

Napataas naman ang kilay ko atsaka lumayo kay Ell. "The f, Ell? Do you really have to tell me that?" Sabi ko at medyo nangilabot.

"Hey, watched your language. Nasa harap mo ang kambal." Suway niya sa akin.
