Four months before the wedding
A very quiet sunday morning. Denden just woke up from her sleep. Masaya na siya. Kontento na siya. Its all she ever wanted to have, after the nightmare Aly put her through. Naglakad siya papunta sa kitchen ng apartment nila ni LA. She smells food. It shot Denden a shock through her body as the smell of food reached her. Well that's new, he never cooks. He doesnt know how.
"Hon?" sabi ni Den as she peeks on the room.
"Hey beautiful. You're awake..." sabi ni LA and he guides Denden to sit on one of the chairs.
"You... uhm cook?"
"No. Silly. I never cook. I cant, but I wake up early to buy you this..." sabi ni LA at sinerve niya yung mga pagkain. Dennise let out a deep sigh of relief.
"Why im feeling that this day is extra special?" sabi ni Den as she taste the food. "Its actually great..."
"Because this is a special day... May pupuntahan tayo later" sabi ni LA.
"Okay?" sabi ni Denden. Kumain silang dalawa at nakatingin lang siya kay LA.
Its different now, this guy right here makes me happy, its like he lives to make me happy and I am happy. He lives to keep me forever, and I really appreciate it. Im grateful for it.
"Extra handsome din ba ako today?" sabi ni LA nung nakita niyang nakatngin lang si Den sakanya.
"Always..." sabi ni Denden and they kissed. She saw LA in front of her in this table, in their apartment. Together.

This time nasa madrid pa din si Aly. She already produced a duplex apartment for herself and her friend Oliver. And two shops around retiro which make her feel pretty accomplished.
Its 2am and Aly was still on the living room checking the assets ng business niya. Lights off at yung ilaw lang ng laptop niya yung nagiging ilaw niya.
Pumasok si Oliver sa room at nakita niya yun kaibigan niyang nagpupuyat nanaman.
"What?" sabi ni Aly sakanya nung nakita niyang nakatingin si Oliver sakanya.
"Well its 2 in the morning and hey you're up doing that? Seriously Lily you need to go out, have fun." sabi ni Oliver
"I said stop that nickname, I dont want that and Yeah? Like party all night? Ollie im a busy person I dont have time for those things..." sabi ni Aly.
"Busy? Of what? Looking at those Philippine magazine? I find it funny how those magazines have the same girl on every cover..."
"Oh dont go with that..." sabi ni Aly.
"Lily look. You're in spain! For the love of all mighty God this is a city of love and romance..."
"Every city for you is a city of love and romance..."
"Exactly!" sabi ni Oliver, binuksan niya yung ilaw, pumunta kay aly at sinara yung laptop ng kaibigan niya. "Every place must be a city of love, that magazine wont talk back to you. Even you talked to that thing hundred times it wont answer back...Why dont we go out tomorrow, and have fun?"
"I really cant-"
"Lily martyrs doesn't exist in this decade anymore... drop that bullshit and lets be gay and proud together" sabi ni Oliver.
