Only One (A Cyriel x Dana Fanfiction)

Chapter Two

The movie ended and now we were just watching a re-run of an old television drama when suddenly there was a news break. 

"There was a shoot out at around eight in the morning last night in an abandoned warehouse in Paranaque City. Five including the three kidnappers, one police officer and one civilian died. The One of the kidnappers was identified as Jarred Bautista while the civilian was identified as Ynna Henares from the prominent Henares family. It was reported to be a kidnap for ransom case but the motive behind it is still unknown"

"Babe why are you just staring at the tv?" Andy asked while he was laughing 

I looked at my friends who were also laughing and realized that they were just pranking me. Everything that happened yesterday was real. 

I buried my head on my knee and started crying. I relieved. 

"Andy, I told you this would be a bad joke" I looked at where the voice came from and saw that it was Cyriel who was just finished taking a shower. 

I ran to him and hugged him tight. 

"Why are you crying Dana?" He asked while wiping the tears in my eyes. 

"I thought I lost you again. I really thought that last night was just a dream."

"Everything is real Dana and I promise you that I would never let you go anymore" He gave me a quick kiss before rejoining the others. 

Dave played the DVD Cyriel asked him to bring and we watched another movie but this time, he has his arm draped around my shoulder while I lay my head on his shoulder.

The Following Day

Cyriel was really keen in making it up to me. He prepared a romantic date on our condo's rooftop. A mini orchestra was playing while we were having our dinner. He apologized and explained everything to me. We got reacquainted as we talked about what happened in our lives during the time that we were apart. Despite what happened between us and Ynna, he still shared to me some of their good memories together. 

Cyriel got to see some parts of her that I never knew existed. It made me feel a little bit better knowing that he wasn't that miserable while he was away. 

"Dana do you want to star gaze with me?" I nodded 

Cyriel's POV

"Dana do you want to star gaze with me?"  She nodded at me smiling. 

The sky was really beautiful tonight. The moon is exceptionally big and there were lots of stars scattered in the sky. 

While she was distracted, I went to the waiter who was then fixing our plates. 

"Dana Kathryn Ferrer"

"Yes, Cyriel Edrian perez?"

"I love you so much. I knew that I wasn't the best boyfriend to you. I can't count the number of times that I made you cried. I left you without even telling you why. I broke you when I almost got married. I wasn't even a good friend to you back then but Dana please know that I love you. Last night, I was scared because I really thought I was gonna die without even telling you how much I love you. I'm so sorry for everything Dana"

"Cyriel, why do you keep on apologizing"

"Being with Ynna sa US made me think of how badly I miss you. I was hurt when I thought that there was something going on with you and Andy. I cant bear the thought that he took advantage of you. I love you so much Dana. Dana, I am ready to swallow all my pride. Ms. Dana Kathryn Ferrer, I can't imagine a life without you anymore... Will you marry me?" I knelt down and gave her the ring that our mom gave me. 

Dana's POV

When Cyriel knelt and showed me the ring, I started to cry. 

"Dana now is the time where you answer" 

"You don't have to rush if you're not ready yet-" I cut him off by kissing him.

"I never said that I don't want to marry you. Thank you for everything Cyriel. I really love you and I would really love to marry you."

"I love you Cyriel Edrian Perez"

"I love you too Dana Kathryn Ferrer-Perez"

We kissed under the moonlight...

I guess this is my ideal romance.

Our past is no longer important. We made lots of wrong decisions and in the process we hurt each other unintentionally. Love conquers everything after all. 

Months after that incident, Dave and Sara and Cyriel and I got married. Kim and Clarence will get married the following year.  

"Baby, mommy and daddy really loves you" I kissed our seven month old daughter's forehead. 

"Mommy can I sleep beside you tonight?" Cyriel asked giving me a quick kiss. 

"Love you Daddy"

"Love you too Mommy"

We all have our happy endings and this time with our own families. Andy found his happiness with his girlfriend. 

Cyriel Edrian Perez and Xyriel Dana Ferrer Perez is the reason why I'm very happy and thankful for my life.

This has been Dana Kathryn F. Perez and thank you for joining my journey.
