MY MYSTERIOUS HEART STEALER

Epilogue

Epilogue

2 years. 2 years had past and everything had changed.

I ran away again for the second time, but this time, I chased and reached my dreams. I chose to be with myself leaving everyone that loves and supports me behind, so I could find myself.

Maybe, my hopes are just high that one day when I came back to them, they'll understand why I chose to ran away and would still accept me because all of this is also for them.

And as for Jacob? Siguro, talagang kampante lang akong walang makakapalit sa lugar ko sa kaniyang puso. Haha!

Masyado bang confident? Ang lakas ng loob kong mang-iwan kasi alam kong mahal ako ng lalaking yun. But there's still that time that I felt resentment over leaving him behind. But if I didn't do that, I would still be that Mary Ruvee that is afraid of her emotions, afraid to show and express what she truly felt and would still be that kind of a person that hold grudges towards her past.

And seeing the person who she knows had all the connection to get her but didn't, and still followed her last request from him, She knew Jacob understands her very well.

"Hon, Let's go?" malawak ang ngiti na naglahad ito ng kamay.

He extended his stay here in Thailand because of me, even transferring from the hotel where I stayed. I'm here for a wedding and a wedding photoshoot. Finally, I'm making a name again in the field I'm totally in love with. Hindi man sa buong mundo, but those people who sees my capabilities and appreciates my passion.

I still have a day here that I planned to tour around alone before going back to the Philippines. But here I am happily accepting the hand of the Man my heart chose to love. And being with him filled those empty days and nights I'm far away from home.

I can say I totally had found who I am, and this time, I'll love him with no inhibitions.

This is my first time in Thailand, though I've been to several countries in Asia.

And today's itinerary is on San Diego. I let him do the planning since he's been with me for two days of photoshoot with a Thai-Filipino couple who's having their pre-nup.

From our hotel, we chose to walk to reach the Si Phraya Express Boat Pier. Sabi niya ay para mapaiwas raw kami sa traffic at ma enjoy ang cruise sa Chao Phraya River, isa sa mga Kilalang river ng Thailand.

"The Venice of the East. It's like Venice Grand Canal Mall sa Taguig, but larger version." He informed me like a tourist guide.

"You did research ha?" Natatawa kong sabi habang inaabot ang kaniyang kamay upang alalayan ako na makasakay sa Boat na magdadala sa amin sa lugar na pupuntahan. Sakto kasing pagdating namin ay malapit na ring umalis ang express boat.

"Google is helpful, you know!" May angas na sagot nito nang iginiya ako paupo. "And a little help from friends, of course. It's our first out of the country date."

I was literally amazed of the river. Bukod sa malinis, may mga water vendor kaming nadaanan. Tall buildings and temple-likes establishment can be seen around the riverside. Feeling ko maganda dito kapag gabi. Pero kahit hindi gabi, basta kasama mo yung taong importante sayo at MAHAL mo, the feeling will always be special.

The boat made several stops before we reach our destination, which I thought so. More or less nasa 15 mins din kaming naglayag. At hindi man lang ako nagkaroon ng kunting takot kahit sabihing malalim yung tubig dahil alam kong safe ako sa tabi ng lalaking mahal.

A few more minutes after, we reach our destination.

"Woah!" That's all I can say. Parang Palasyo yata ang nakikita ko sa aking harapan.
