Hi! This is the last chapter of this story, the next will be the epilogue (wakas). Thank you for reading!

3 months have passed, I felt a cold wind hugged me. I am with Evan in the rooftop of the building in his condo. Balita ko pa nga na bawal pumunta dito kapag gabi, but who can stop Evan from he wants? Even the owner of this building can't stop him.

I felt him lean against me, I smile and place my arm to his waist. I didn't imagine how we ended up here. Sa dami naming pinag-daanan, pinagbigyan na rin kami ng tadhana na mag-samang dalawa nang matagal.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Parehas kaming tumingin sakanyang telepono, napansin kong unknown number ito. Tiningnan ko ang kanyang mukha nang hindi manlang siya gumalaw para sagutin ito.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Tumingin siya sa akin at umiling, "It's nothing." He ended the call. Ten seconds has passed before it rang again.

"Sagutin mo na kaya baka importante yan," sabi ko. "No," he said and ended the call.

Wala pang isang minuto at nag-ring nanaman ang cell phone niya, napabuntong hininga nalang ako at kinuha ang kanyang cell phone para sagutin iyon. Ini-loud speaker ko ito para marinig den ni Evan ang sasabihin nang tumawag.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hello? I-is this Claire?" A girl answered. The voice was familiar to me, I turn my gaze on Evan but he didn't look at me.

"Yes, how did you know my name? Who are you?" I heard her sighed. "This is Grace, you bitch."

Nag-taas ako ng kilay, so may connection pa rin sila ah? I laughed in sarcastic way. "Sorry, nakakalimutan ko kasi talaga kung sino mga kinakausap ko lalo na kapag hindi siya importante."

"You bitch! Pasalamat ka at wala akong balak makipag-away sa'yo ngayon," napa-iling nalang ako sa sagot niya.

"Anyway, I won't take this longer. I just called him to say my congratulations for your wedding and my farewell," napa-tingin sa akin si Evan nang marinig niya ang sinabi ni Grace.

"Farewell?" He asked.

"Yeah, my farewell. My doctor made me realize that you're not fucking worth my tears and my life, I deserve to live and find another man who will love me for who I am." Hindi ko maiwasan matawa sa sinabi niya, but I suddenly felt relieved.

"I am not fucking worth it. Don't hurt yourself again, Grace."

"I will, Evan. Best wishes for the both of you," Grace said.

"Thanks," wika ni Evan at yumakap sa akin.

"But I'm not saying my sorry though, lalo na sa'yo Claire." Natawa ako. "Don't worry, I already forgive you even you didn't feel sorry for that."

"Yeah, whatever... try to let him go again, I promise you that I will do everything to make him mine again." Napa-higpit ang hawak ko sa cell phone sa sinabi niya. "Huwag ka nang umasa, wala na akong balak pakawalan siya." Pareho kaming natawa.

"Good for you, I'll hang up now." Grace said. Before I utter back the line ended, bitch talaga.

"So... you're not going to leave me again?" masuyo niyang sabi.

"Yes... why?" I asked.

"Nothing, even if you change your mind and plan to leave me again. Baby, I remind you that I'm not going to let that happen."

I hugged him tighter. "There's nothing that can ever change my mind," I said.

Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang pakiramdam habang yakap-yakap ko siya, I felt so comfortable hugging him.
