Let Me

Epilogue

"I Mikylla Franz Garcié y Barbon de los Hermes, Infanta of Asturias the daughter of King William VI and Queen Elenor, will step down from my title." I finished my speech.

A loud gasp and murmur filled the room. Flashes of cameras were nonstop, making my eyes sore. May balak pa ata sila na gawin akong bulag. Inalalayan ako ni Harold makababa ng stage. I took a last glance at my parents, they stood straight, looking proud. I somehow felt at ease.

Stepping down from my title means losing everything. I can no longer step my foot in Spain as this will be my last. I lost my heritage, and the respect of my people.

This is the consequence I am going to face for the rest of my life. However, I don't regret a single thing.

I am willing to pay for it to be with my fiancé. After all the pain we've been through, I believe we deserve to be happy.

Amir and I finally got divorced, it was easy and fast since our marriage was fake. About Fred he is now serving a life sentence in jail, he deserved it, after what he did to Athena? I don't even recognize him anymore. He is sick!

But then I got the heart to forgive him so I could move on with my life without hatred to anyone. I wanted to be free with pain and in the past.

I want to be happy with Solace.

I looked back at my family, they were standing not far from me, naka saludo sila sa akin, it is a sign for sending me off, for good.

I already bid my goodbyes to them last night. It was chaotic and sad. Pero syempre pamilya pa rin naman kami, they promised to pay me a visit in the Philippines.

Hindi mabigat sa pakiramdam ang pag alis ko knowing that they support me with my decision and I know that they're proud of me.

A few months later

After a long day at work, pauwi na ako sa bahay namin ng asawa ko. Gosh nakakilig talaga sabihin ang salitang 'asawa'

Napangiti ako habang tinitignan ang malaking building. I built this with my own savings, it was hard, but it didn't stop me from achieving it lalo na't para to sa magiging pamilya namin ni Sol.

I am now a successful business woman.

Habang nagmamaneho hindi ko maiwasan mapangiti nang maalala ang masayang alala namin, lalo na nung araw ng kasal.

Hindi ako makapaniwala na sa lahat ng pinagdaananan namin, we're now married.

Pagdating ko sa bahay ay napangiti ako nang madatnan ang asawa ko na nakaupo sa sofa at nang makita nya ako, tumayo sya upang salubungin ako ng yakap at halik.

Kung ganito lang din naman ang maabutan ko palagi diba? Mahiya ang pagod sa yakap at halik ng asawa ko.

"Hi"

Can you imagine how a strict and cold professor is actually sweet and loving? You wouldn't know kasi saakin nya lang lahat 'yon pinapakita at pinaparamdam. And that makes everything special.

"Hello langga" I hugged her tighter

"I always imagine this to happen, waking up next to you every morning, eating our meals together, seeing you go to work, and my wife coming home to me." Malamyos na pahayag nya.

Parang tanga naman tong puso ko oh, kung makatibok kala mo virgin!

"Syempre saan pa ba ako uuwi?" Sabi ko na kaagad ko naman pinagsisihan kasi nakatanggap ako ng sampal.

"You're so epal." Mataray na sabi nito

"Pero isipin mo yun langga, hinahatid mo pa ako noon pauwi pero ngayon hindi na kailangan kasi ikaw na ang tahanan ko."

Bwhahshs byeee! I'm not a fan of happy endings kasi, sorry guix.

Sana mahal nyo pa rin ako kahit ginanon ganon ko lang sila ni Sol,
