As we went in, we saw Jaime and Maria. Both were awake but they are very weak. Cancer are really taking the life out of them. But as they smiled and opened their arms for us, I still see Maria's beauty and Jaime's happy expression. For me, they became the most beautiful couple I've ever met. Harry and I then went towards them and hugged them. We then let go afterwards.

"Hey." I whispered, smiling with awe at both of them.

"Hi Freya." Maria said, "My magandang apo Freya. (My beautiful granddaughter Freya)"

"Thank you po." I giggled.

I then looked at the side and saw Jaime and Harry talking. Harry was smiling as well, trying to hide the pain.

"Doctors told us that there's nothing they can do to us anymore. Well, in few days, we may undergo coma since cancer really took us and eventually, we'll die."

I felt tears rolling down, "Are you scared?"

"Why would I be?" She smiled as she wiped the tears in my eyes, "I have lived long enough Freya. I have loved a lot of people long enough. I have loved Jaime. I have done a lot of things. So why live further? Are you scared?"

I nodded, crying, "I'm scared of losing you. I'm scared of losing Jaime."

"Who told you that you'll lose me? You think I'll be gone?"

I was speechless.

"Freya, apo, Jaime and I will just be around. Mayor Rose, Carmen, Tacoy, Macoy and Harry will always have your back. They will always remind you of us."

"I don't think it would be that easy."

"Not unless you try." She smiled, then faced Jaime, "Jaime, the last will and testament."

Jaime then held her hand and asked Harry and I to sit on the bed.

"As you know, we're dying with Maria." Jaime said, "That's why we called you to give you things in our last will and testament. Don't worry. It's not legal. Maria and I just made it up."

We all giggled.

"We gave you both 10,000 pesos each from our pensions." Maria said, "Use that money to tour the Philippines. There's a lot of places that are beautiful here."

"But we're about to leave too." I said.

"Then save that money for another trip here. You both deserve the beauty of places and to enjoy." Maria then handed me Jaime's letter that I found way back in the museum, "Freya, I entrust you this letter. I can't bring this in heaven. But I want you to have it because you have always been one of my apos. It will bring you to the right fate."

I then took the letter, "Thank you." I smiled.

"And since Freya is like our apo already, that's when Harry comes in." Jaime said, holding Harry's hand, "Apo, I entrust you Freya."

My eyes open wide by what Jaime said.

"Harry, I want you to take good care of her. Because people would come in her life and break the love that she has. Do not let anyone break it Harry. Make her happy my apo."

I looked at him and when he looked at me, I looked down on the ground. I couldn't understand why Jaime would let Harry take care of me. He should know that Harry hates me.

"You guys, be happy always okay?" Maria said, tears rolling down her cheek. Jaime cried as well.

"We'll be okay." I whispered, crying.

Then we hugged them for one last time.
