His Long Lost Fiancee [COMPLETED]

Chapter 29: A Love that Endures

Kael POV

*few hours earlier*

This day is the 13th Death Anniversary of my parents. Sobrang haba na ng panahon magmula noong mawala sila. I wouldn't forget that tragic day of our lives. If I was with them at that park that day, I will also die for sure.

Kasama ko si Lolo Stefano (my dad's father) noong araw na iyon dahil sinamahan ko siya sa lakad niya kaya hindi ako nakasama kina Elren na magcelebrate ng birthday niya. Ako ang madalas na isama ni Lolo noon sa mga business meetings dahil sinasanay na niya ako habang bata pa na maging involve sa business world. Being a Valiante is a great responsibility. He believes that someday, I will be the one to manage all of our businesses. And that day has already arrived.

Sa Italy na kami tumira noon ni Lolo after my family's death. Siya ang nagpalaki sa akin at nagturo kung paano maging isang Valiante heir. That's why even before he died from old age, I was trained to handle our companies.

I learned to be independent. I learned so early on how real life works. Hindi ganoon kadali, lalo na kung wala kang pamilya na aantabay sayo. But that's how I matured as a person.

Kaya noong malaman kong may posibilidad na buhay pa ang nag-iisa kong kapatid na si Erin, napasugod ako dito sa Pinas ng di oras. God knows kung gaano ako kasabik na makasama ang kapatid ko. I almost sought all of my sources just to investigate this matter. It may seem slow but I'm trusting the process because I believe that in the end, it will all be worth it. Whether it's Shanaya or Marinella, I will still value them both just for now. Dahil sa oras na malaman ko kung sino sa kanilang dalawa ang tunay kong kapatid, sa kanya ko lang ibubuhos ang lahat ng pagmamahal ko. She will be spoiled and I will surely protect her with my life.

Today is also Elren's birthday. Reid told me that we will celebrate it this time. They even prepared a surprise birthday party celebration for him. Kinasabwat pa nila ako na ako na raw ang bahala kung paano papupuntahin si Elren sa resthouse niya ngayon sa Bataan. I don't have any idea why they want to celebrate it this year. Hindi naman kasi namin cinecelebrate ang araw na ito dati-rati dahil nagagalit si Ren. He hates his birthday. Maraming masakit na alaala ang dulot ng kaarawan niya.

But before I'll take Elren there, I need to visit first my parent's grave. Finally, nahanap na rin ng mga private investigators ko kung nasaan ang mga natitirang buto ng mga namayapa kong magulang. Kaya may laman na ngayon ang puntod nila. Tanging kay Erin lang ang hindi nila nahanap dahil buhay pa nga siya.

As I am holding a basket of flowers for them, I slowly saw someone beside my parent's grave. He wears black and offered a basket of flowers also. I can't be wrong. It's Elren.

Nilapitan ko siya sabay hawak sa kanang balikat niya. "Bro, you're here. As expected."

I got no response from him. He's just staring at our parents' name engraved there. Magkatabi lang kasi ang puntod ng mga magulang namin.

"I think, it's time for us to move on from their death." Dagdag ko pa.

"I already moved on. I finally accepted their death. But not with the people behind their death. Di Novo still needs a lifetime payment. I will never ever forgive them. I will definitely kill them all. You'll all see."

"Elren, I understand what you feel. I also felt that. I hate them also. They killed our families but what's our gain from having a revengeful heart? We might lose ourselves in the process. We can't find peace. Little did we know, we're also hurting ourselves from hating them."
