You're Still the One (Completed)

Epilogue

Epilogue

The days had gone so fast, and Nicole's situation had become more critical. And even if its hard for her. She still wants to dance with me for the last time.

And she made it. It's my birthday.

I am now standing in the middle of the ballroom court. Then I saw a girl standing over there with it's beautiful dress. She is so beautiful.

She slowly walked towards me.

"Juliet." I said after I held her hand.

"Romeo." She said.

And the music starts. All the spotlight was on us.

Everybody is watching us. The music played

(You're Still the One by Shania Twain playing)

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

"Hear the song Lloyd." She whispered softly in my ears and we began dancing.

"I will." I said and I hugged her tightly.

They said "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong.

"Lloyd, naalala mo paba nung mga bata palang tayo? Nung una tayong nagkita"

Flashback

"Akin na sabi yung pagkain ko! Isusumbong talaga kita kay mommy!" Hagulhol na sabi ng batang Ellie.

"Akin nalang to. Bleee." Mas lalong umiyak ang batang si Ellie dahil yun lang ang baon na binigay ng mommy niya.

Gutom na gutom na si Ellie pero hanggang tingin nalang siya sa mga batang kumakain.

"Bata bata, gusto mo?" May nakita siyang isang batang lalaki sa harap niya habang may dala dalang sandwich, agad niya naman tong kinuha at kinain.

"Shalamuch ah"

"Ako nga pala si Lloyd. Ikaw anong pangalan mo?"

"My name is Ellie. Friends na tayo ah?"

End of Flashback

"You are my superhero since then." Ellie smiled at me.

"Sorry. Alam kong nag promise ako sayo nung mga bata palang tayo na ako lang ang papakasalan mo, but Lloyd, hindi ko na kaya." I hug her as tight as I could while we were crying.

You're still the one I run to
The on that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

"Shh don't say that my Princess." I said.

I couldn't help it. I am trying my best not to cry, but I can't. The tears fell down on my face.

"I will love you forever." She said and I can feel the sadness in her voice.

I know she is crying.

"If you'll leave, take me too Nicole please!"

"Romeo,"

But I didn't answered because of the pain I am feeling in my heart right now.

"My last wish is that, for you to continously live happily. I beg you." She said while crying.

Because of those words, I cried even harder.

"Take care of yourself. I will never forget you and I will always love you." Wait, is this a goodbye?

She suddenly stopped dancing.

And I'm starting to get scared. So I kissed her head.

"Juliet," I called, hoping that she'll answer.

"Please don't leave. Not now."

And suddenly, I felt her hand dropping off from my back.

It can't be. Hindi ko gustong isipin na mawala na siya sakin kaagad. But there is nothing I can do. If this is really meant to happen, I must accept it, though it's out of my will. Though it'll hurt me a lot.

People around started to cry. Just like, they know my pain.

She's gone.

Ellie is gone.

Maybe you are very important to God that he took you so soon from me.

And slowly, I gave her a piggy back ride and I walked slowly away from that place.

Later,I stopped walking. And looked at her face which is leaning on my shoulders.

"Why do you have to go?" I said.

The only thing I know now, is that I'm sad. Nasa huli lahat ang pagsisisi.

Dapat mas pinahalagan ko pa siya nung nabubuhay pa siya.

"Lightnings, earthquakes, floods and all hindrances can't set us apart for we are always together and tied in our hearts. "

And one thing I'm sure is that. She is still the one.

Ellie Nicole Lopez, You're Still the One.
