Two weeks have passed.

I never heard anything about Yue. I never heard anything about Vince.

It's better without men in my life. But why does my chest hurts whenever I think about one of them?

Sometimes you have to choose between your happiness or somebody else's.

That's what I learned from Yue. He choose to let me go. While Vince fought for me.

I've made up my mind. I need to talk to Vince now. There's so many things I want him to know. I have to let it all out.

I went to his office at hindi naman ako nabigo nang makita ko sya sa opisina. It feels so nostalgic.

I missed this office so much. I spent five years of my life in this place.
Those five long years are very precious to me.

"Juliet" Vince come running to me and hugged me tight. "I missed you so much"

I smiled and hugged him back. "I missed you too."

After few seconds, kumalas na rin ako sa pagkakayakap.

He guided me to the couch. "Why are you here? Akala ko matatagalan pa bago ka makapag isip.. "

Ngumiti ako. "Ayaw ko na ring patagalin. I need to tell you everything"

"Well then, I'm willing to listen." kumindat sya.

"I want us to go back on being friends. I missed our closeness. Nakakamiss mamroblema sayo" Sabi ko. "But I can't be your secretary anymore."

Napalitan ng pagtataka ang ngiti nya. "Juliet... "

"I'm flying to Taiwan tomorrow, Vince. I'm here para linawin ang lahat between us. Let's forget about the past. I realized I really love Yue. You might have played a huge part in my life but he completes me. I can't imagine me without him anymore.. "

He let a sad laugh. "I thought you're here to. ." hindi nya na maituloy ang sasabihin.

"We are good friends. I believe you deserve to know that I have found a good man for me. I will be happy with him. That's all Vince."

Tumango tango sya. "I agree. Kung ganun, Okay. Sige. I don't have any grudges. He's a fine man."

And that's how we parted. He may not be the one I chose but at least we are friends again.

Hindi na ako nagsayang ng panahon at nagbook na ng ticket. Kinasabwat ko si Ben at nagpasama ako sa kanila ni Kelly para puntahan si Yue sa Taiwan.

❤❤❤

Taipei, Taiwan.

Nag set si Ben ng dinner sa isang restaurant. Kunwari sila lang ni Kelley ang nandun at inimbitahan nya si Yue.

Pagsapit ng 7PM nasa restaurant na ito. He's always on time.

Nakaupo na sya sa table habang hinihintay kami. Hindi nya napansin ang pagdating namin dahil busy sya sa paglalaro sa phone.

Nauna akong lumapit at hinigit ang upuan sa tabi nya. "Is this seat taken?" ginaya ko yung nasa commercial ng fastfood.

He looked up to me and his chinky eyes widen in disbelief.

Ilang saglit syang hindi makapagsalita so I hugged him tight.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to do what makes you happy?" he asked.

"Yes. And being with you does. You said, follow your heart. And my heart led me to you." I smiled at him.

"Is this a dream? Please don't wake me up" masayang sabi nya.

"You're not dreaming. I'm here. I love you." I told him while looking into his eyes.

He pulled me close and kissed me.

Pumalakpak naman sila Kelley at Ben.

I have found a One Great Love. I won't let him go.

THE END.
