Secretly Married (English)

Epilogue

EPILOGUE

"Still famous eh?" Harley nudged Elisa as they walk in the TV station's main hallway. It's been years since she halted all her showbiz activities, but people still give her the attention she has been receiving like before. A lot gave her a second look, as if they can't believe that she's back.

"Famous for my crimes?" Elisa replied with a bitter smile. "But thanks for walking me in here."

"Don't be too hard on yourself. Look at them, they seem glad to see you." Harley motioned towards the people they're bumping into. They have smiles on their faces.

But of course, Elisa couldn't help but still feel uncomfortable coming back to the industry. She still won't forget all the mess that she's made.

"They're just smiling because you're with me..."

Harley raised an eyebrow and shrugs.

"Are you still the Elisa I knew?" He smiles. "You'll be okay."

"I'm just not sure if I really should be here. I mean, Kent also moved here right?"

It has also been so long since Kent transferred to this station. After studying abroad for a few years, Elise didn't know that Kent has moved to this little label. The same label which offered her a comeback, hence why she's here.

"So? Does that bother you?"

"No. I mean... I'm just worried what the fans might think about this move."

"Don't worry about the fans. They'll get by. Just worry about yourself and why you're here."

Elisa nods. She reminded herself that she's here because of her passion. That she missed performing so much and that it didn't matter what the fans will think. For the first time in a long time, it's not just about what the fans believe, it is her choice. But of course, she couldn't put away the fact that the entire career of a celebrity is anchored in the fans' support, so she's still a little worried at the back of her mind.

Harley lead her to the waiting room at the end of the hallway. But before they reach it, somebody shouted.

"You!" It's Jhone. Philip is beside her. They both looked so shocked, their mouths agape.

"Yes... Do I look like a ghost or something?"

"Elisa..." Harley stopped Elisa. He also immediately laughed because this is the old Elisa. The sharp tongued one.

"Sorry..." Elisa dropped her tensed shoulders. "Hi Jhone, and Phil."

"So, you're really back?"

"For good, yes."

"Why?"

"What why?"

"Why here?" Jhone is obviously too worried to see an old enemy in the vicinity. She has so many questions. Phil noticed this and quickly came in between.

"Jhone, we still need to run a few errands."

"Oh boy, you don't need to excuse yourselves. I'm going." Elisa whispered before kissing Harley goodbye.

"This is me. Thanks, sweetie." She said before going into the room at the corner. A coordinator is already waving at her.

Jhone's forehead remained creased for a long time even after the Interactive Room where Elisa went in.

"She still hasn't changed, has she?" Philip broke the long silence.

"Still pretty isn't she?!" Jhone replied, full of sarcasm.
