Hi guys!

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

2020

Sarah kisses her husband back. She wipes his tears while his lips is on her.

Gerald lets go of her. "We're free!" He whispers to her while hugging her.

"Are we?" She whispers back.

Gerald hold her face to look at him. "Trust me, babe."

They go back to reality ng narinig nila ang mga tili at palakpakan ng mga housemates. They both face them smiling. Gerald puts his arms around his wife.

"I'm so happy for you both!" Tili ng pinaka babatang sa mga housemates. She rans and hug them.

Then everyone follows to congratulate them.

••••••••••••••

"Now that's what you call good TV!" Sigaw ng mga management. Palakpakan sila as if alam nila ang mga namgyayari.

"Direk, alam nyo po ba na silang dalawa?" Tanong ng isang writer.

"Hindi," the director answers. "I swear on my life wala akong alam."

The upper management calls Sarah and Gerald's managers. They want a meeting. They're going to keep Sarah and Gerald inside the house for one more day. They need to talk about plans for them. Alam ng lahat pag labas nila ng bahay ni Kuya susugudin sila ng mga reporters and fans.

Habang nag kakatuwaan ang mga housemates sa bahay hindi alam nila Gerald and Sarah na may meeting na nangyayari.

Nag titinginan at nag kaka pakaramdaman ang mga managers and parents ni Sarah and Gerald. They're all waiting for the ABS Bosses.

••••••••••••••••••••••

Meron pinagawang tasks si Kuya sa mga housemates.. it's boys vs girls. Kasali rin ang dalawa. They all have to make a small house using all the chopsticks they provide. The house has to fit two people laying down.

"Ha? Talaga Kuya? Using chopsticks?!" Gulat ni Sarah.

"Sarah lagi ka na lang gulat na gulat," sabi ni Kuya. Tawa naman ang mga tao.

"Ehhh... Kuya ang hirap naman po niyan." Sarah comments again.

"That's why you have your team to help you. Wala itong time. Kung sino sa team ang mauna panalo." Simpleng instructions ni Kuya.

"Kuya anong premyo?" Tanong ng isaw housemates.

"Malalaman ninyo pag meron nang panalo." Sagot ni Kuya. "Ready na ba kayo? Lahat ng chopsticks na kailangan ninyo ay nandiyan. Good luck."

Nag uusap usap ang mga team mates kung ano ang diskarte nilang gawin. Nag drawing pa sila ng mga iba't ibang sketches ng bahay.

•••••••••••••••••••

"Wala kami ka alam alam na meron relasyon ang dalawa," sabi ni Boss Vic na manager ni Sarah.

"Nila? Ikaw ang lagi kasama ni Gerald. Wala ka bang napansin man lamang?" Tanong ng head ng Star Magic.

"Wala po boss. Ang alam ko lang ay pag Wednesdays personal day off nya yun. At ang pakiusap niya na walang istorbo." Paliwanag ni Nila.

"Wednesdays din ang personal day off din ni Sarah." Vic comments.

"Malaki na si Sarah. Pinag bigyan namin sya sa freedom na gusto niya. So, kung saan man siya mag punta sa personal day off niya sa kanya na iyon." Defensive na sabi ni Daddy Delfin. "Anyway, what's the big deal kung meron sila relasyon? Malalaki na sila. Alam na nila ang ginawa nila."

"That is true Mr. Geronimo. Pero we don't know how will the public will react. We are here for their protections," sabi ng Star Magic.

"Okay. What do you guys have in mind?" Tanong ni Mommy Devine.

"I'm sure the fans wants explanation. I'm sure both families want explanations." Star Magic starts to show them list of how can they protect their artist.

"Sarah and my son doesn't owe anyone explanation." Pag defense ng mom ni Gerald. "In love sila sa isa't isa. That's enough explanation."

"Here's what we will do. Star Magic will handle their own artist and I will handle my own." Naka simangot na sabi ni Boss Vic. "I personally, hindi ko gusto itong mga list na ito. Ilabas nyo na ang artist ko sa PBB and I'll let Sarah handle this."

Tumayo na ang campo ni Sarah. They starts to leave the conference room.

"Balae. Balae." Sabi ng mommy ni Gerald na naka sunod sa mga Geronimo. "Balae pasensya ka na sa mga star magic people."

Niyapos naman ni Mommy Devine si Mommy Vangie. "Okay lang Balae. Mag kita kita na lang tayo once naka labas na yun dalawa sa PBB. Para maka pag usap usap din tayo."

•••••••••••••••••••••••

"Makalipas ang dalawang lingo, oras na mag pa alam ang mga housemates sa inyo Sarah at Gerald." Sabi ni Kuya. "Salamat sa pagiging totoo nyo at sa mga magagandang payo at tulong nya sa amin. Puede na kayo umalis sa bahay ko."

They said their goodbyes to the housemates at kay Kuya. Mag kahawak kamay silang lumabas ng bahay ni Kuya. Sumalubong sa kanila ang mga pamilya nila.

"Congratulations mga anak." Mommy Vangie hugs them both.

Umuwi silang lahat sa bahay ni Sarah. Nag lutuan sila at nag usap usap na rin. The whole time non stop ang pag tunog ng mga cellphones ni Sarah at Gerald. They ignored it. They want to enjoy the moment with their families.

The next morning, they went to church together for the first time ever and as husband and wife. A lot of people recognize them. There were a lot of bulungan. They didn't care. After, they talk to the priest for some blessing. They also consulted the priest to be their priest for their church wedding.

Pag labas nila ng church ang daming mga reporter na nag aabang. Gerald holds her hand tightly. "Ready?" He smiles at her to relieve some stress on her face.

"Basta nandito ka sa tabi ko, I'll always be ready." Sarah smile back at him.

"Since when did you become so cheesy babe?!" He laughs.

"Sira!" She hit him sa braso. She pulls him to face the reporters.
