Not Into Her

Epilogue

In the meanwhile, I was still drinking some whiskey in the bar inside the Trade Center. The bartender looked at me and I was feeling kinda pissed. I just stared at the bar, to the cabinet at the back of the bartender, and to the displayed glasses at the top of the cabinet. I still can't believe that Aprielle is so lonely, if that's what she really feel.

Why did she suddenly feel that way? I suddenly asked myself, still with the same confusion on her. I really can't find why and thought she changed due to the misconception of the plane crash I was into. I thought that she mustn't do fall in love with me due to that affection she had in me after the crash.

So after the party, I and Alessa drove back home and immediately slept the night away. The boys head cleaning up the instruments after they drank some whiskey and head home with the instruments, including Alessa's violin.

The next day, I was looking at the ceiling for almost three minutes before I moved out. I was still thinking of what happened last night and was still thinking what happened next. Then I thought of Aprielle's sudden affection on me and her sudden feelings on me. I was still thinking of Aprielle's face when she speak herself up and she really is in love with me.

But why does she just fall in love to me though we're too old for that? Why does she just feel the same way on her before, now, we're almost on our peak? And how does she easily shy and cried after I gave her that same words she spoken to me twenty-years ago?

Alessa looked at me and noticed me still confused on the way Aprielle reacted.

"Are you still thinking about last night, Dad?" she asked at me.

"Yes." I replied at Alessa, still looking at the mirror. "And I can't believe that she thought of me after all this years. And I wondered why."

"Maybe she just feel you what happened to you that time."

I looked at Alessa. "You bet?" I asked.

"Uh-huh." Alessa replied. "So what's your plan now?"

"Maybe I'm gonna visit your grandparents, your great-grandparents and your great-great-grandparents before we head back to London." I replied. "Do you wanna meet them all?"

"Sure, Dad. I wanna meet them."

"And after that, we'll gonna visit your Aunt Christine and her family too."

"That would be great!"

So, after we had breakfast and took a bath, I and Alessa head to the Tibungco Public Cemetery where Mom, Dad and my grandparents are being laid. When we reach the cemetery, we bought some candles and some potted flowers for them and lit them all when we arrived the location.

When we reach the location, I saw a gray '14 Monterosport car parked near a mausoleum and it was facing back. I parked the car at the back of the car and we head out of  our car. We head to the site and saw Christine and her family lighten up some candles and stood them at each marbles.

"Hey!" I said at Christine. "How's it going?"

Christine looked at me and saw me and Alessa walking at them.

"Hey!" she said back.

I took some candles from Alessa's hands, lit them up and stood them near Christine's lit candles. I put the potted flowers at the top of Mother's marble and left it behind. Then I stood back and looked at Christine

"It's unfortunate to stay but," I said at Christine. "I and Alessa will be going back to London tomorrow."

Christine looked at me and smiled. "Well, that's short." she reacted. "Do you know where you going after this? How about a lunch today?"
