The Trouble with Love (BBHS1) ✅

Epilogue

Epiloque

This is the Epiloque po. Charles pov.

Limang taon, limang taon na rin ang nakalipas. Everything went back to normal but the first two years was a hell of a mess for me. But I conquered it all through my good buddies, sina Eric, Clyde at Brent. I thought my heart will be okay after all but I was wrong, because here I am again in the same old shoe looking at her pictures in Sebastian's profile in social media.

The smile on her face is making me weak. Her beautiful eyes and kissable lips. Damn it! Nagmura ang isip ko hindi ko pa rin kaya siyang kalimutan. I thought I am over with her but damn it, no because I still want her and want to have her back in my arms.

Fuck this! Nagtaas bagang ako sa galit nang tinitigan ko si Sebastian. We are here in this so called elite business brotherhood in Italy. Kasama ko si Clyde rito. It's an organization of elite male businessman all over the world. Pribado ito at hindi ka basta-basta makakasali sa groupong ito kung wala kang kilala sa loob na nakapalikod sa'yo. And the heck, ano ba nga ba ang bago, Sebastian is here too.

I glared at him evidently. I have nothing against Sebastian and I haven't seen him for two years. But he knew it all along, and he knew my entire story. At ang higit na kinaiinisan ko ay sila na ni Isabella ngayon. He smirked when he saw the looked I gave him and walks towards me.

"Charles, bro. What's up?" Tinipik ni Sebastian ang balikat ko.

I nodded and we had a great conversation. Hangang sa mapako ang kwentuhan namin sa mga babae. He then admitted Isabella and him are official couple already. After courting her for nearly two years ay sila na ngayon.

The fuck! Why the hell I have to hear this? Really ,Sebastian? I stared at him silently while fisting my fist. Why the hell it still hurt like hell. Hindi na dapat ako nasasaktan ng ganito, pero ito ang nararamdaman ko ngayon.

I PRETEND all good to think I have my own girlfriend too, si Avon... She helps me a lot and she helped me move on. Her bubbly personality open my heart. Ang akala ko noon ay hindi ko na kaya na magmahal ng iba maliban kay Isabella. Avon taught me that there is more other story of love to look at for life. I do love her, mahal ko naman siya.

Pero ngayon nalilito ako. I am here at their Engineering Firm. May appointment ako sa Ama ni Isabella. My heart is pounding and it's giving me an excitement and hope of seeing her. Bunos na lang siguro kong makikita ko.

"Charles, hijo!" Tipik balikat ng Ama ni Isabella sa akin at ngumiti na ako at kinamusta siya.

"It's been a while, son. Ang tangkad mo na. What can I do for you, son?" tanong niya.

"I want you to do this project, Sir. But I have one condition."

Sumeryoso agad ang mukha ng Ama ni Isabella at napangiti na ito. He knows the deal that we've made from a long time ago. Noong sinabi na iwasan ko ang anak niya ay ginawa ko. I helped their business to back at track at si daddy ang tumulong sa akin nito.

I don't know what's the deal between the two, pero nahulaan ko na ito. Dad will probably help their firm once Isabella's dad will tell me to go away and be away for her daughter. Alam ko ito, at naiintindihan ko siya sa mga panahong iyon.

I told Isabella's Dad that in ten months I want to open my first company in the Philippines and I want Isabella as my solo Architect. Bigla siyang natahimik at malalim na nag-isip. Taimtim ang titig niya sa akin. I know he can't say no this, dahil pinangako niya sa akin noo na kung may ibang bagay na magagawa siya sa tamang panahon ay tatangapin niya ang magiging alok ko. It's his way of saying how sorry he was for hurting his own daughter too.
