To Love Again

Chapter Nine: See You...

"Kumusta ka, Toni?"

"I'm okay naman po, wala ng fever Kuya" she answered.

"Toni, may balita ako para sa'yo"

"Ano po yun Kuya?"

"Makaka-alis ka na ng bahay ko, Toni"

"Talaga Kuya?" She asked with a smile but soon to a frown.

"Bakit, Toni?"

"Wala po, Kuya. Masaya lang na makikita ko ulit ang pamilya ko" Toni tired to assure him.

"Yun lang ba, Toni?"

"Bakit po Kuya? Meron pa ba?"

"Ikaw lang ang makakasagot ng tanong mo, Toni"

"Meron pa po ba akong gagawin Kuya bago ako umalis?"

"Meron, Toni"

Kuya asked the housemates and his house guests in the confession room, without Toni.

"Kuya, where is Toni?" Sam immediately asked, he was the last person in the room.

"Meron siyang ginagawang task"

"Kuya, why are we all here po?" James asked.

"Housemates and house guests, aalis na si Toni sa aking bahay" as Kuya said it, Sam bowed his head and frowned.

"Bakit po?" Nadine asked as she frowned, Toni was like a big sister to her and Kathryn.

"Kailangan siya sa outside world"

"Ano po ang gagawin namin, Kuya?" Kathryn asked.

"Ang task niyo ay bigyan si Toni ng memorable gift bago siya umalis"

Sam stayed in the boys room as he kept strumming his guitar.

"Toni's waiting for us" Bianca said as she entered the room.

"Okay" Sam smiled.

"Sam, do you like my best friend?"

"Wha-what? Toni? W-why? Did she tell you anything?" He put his guitar aside.

"She didn't. Well?" She asked waiting for an answer.

"I love her, always have" Sam said.

Bianca smiled, "Find a way to tell her"

"Soon enough" Sam said.

Toni finished packing her bags, got herself dressed in a simple white dress and let her hair fall gently, clipping the side of her hair with a bobby pin.

As she carried her baggage and see the rest of the housemates sitting on the carpeted floor.

"Hi guys" Toni greeted, but as she looked around Sam was nowhere in sight but she continued either way.

"Thank you for welcoming me at making me feel at home. Ang saya kasi mga bagets pa kayo at marami pa rin akong natutunan sa inyo" Toni said her thanks.

Kathryn and Nadine became teary eyed, "Uy 'wag kayo umiyak. Magkikita pa rin naman tayo, just now kailangan ko na umalis"

The two girls nodded, "B, thank you. Alam mo na kung bakit at para saan ang thank you ko. JC, take care of my best friend" JC nodded with a smile while Bianca came up to Toni and hugged her.

While everyone gave their goodbye gifts to Toni, Sam still didn't show up.

"Goodbye, Toni" Kuya announced, as a signal that the door is unlocked for Toni.

"Tin!"

Toni turned around and stopped, "Sam" she said quietly.

Sam reached up to her and hugged her tight, not wanting to let her go, "I'm going to miss you, Tin"

Toni pulled away from the hug for a little space and smiled at him, "Goodbye, Sam"

"And Tin.." Sam looked directly at her eyes and caressed her cheek. He kissed her forehead, "Hmm?" Toni asked.

"I love you, Tin" Sam confessed.

Toni's eyes widened, her cheeks blushed, "Sam--"

"Toni, magpaalam ka na kay Sam"

Toni sighed, "Goodbye, Sam"

He watched her leave, gave him one last look before she closed the door. He scratched the back of her head and went out to the pool area.

JC saw him alone, "Sam, did you say goodbye?"

Sam nodded.

"Did you say you love her?"

Sam nodded again.
