Psycho next door

Epilogue 2 of 2

(Theme song above)

2 months later

      "I made this myself, Kleya. You better love this," I joked as I placed the blue flower crown on top of her tombstone.

      "She's gonna love it." Wolfgang said as he held my hand.

       I smiled at what Wolfgang said. He really knows what to say to make me feel better. I looked at him and I couldn't help but chuckle. He looks so different now compared to how he was before. I mean he's still tall and attractive but gone are the piercings that made him look scary. He said he won't wear them again thinking my mom might disapprove of him if he continues to look like a thug.

         "Bakit?" He chuckled back.

         "You used to look like a thug back then and now you look like a cute puppy," biro ko.

         "You love puppies anyway," he boasted as he playfully pat the flower crown above my head.

           Napailing-iling na laang ako at inilagay ang isa pang set ng bulaklak sa puntod ni Miller. I know how much these two loved each other kaya naman naisipan naming itabi sila sa isa't-isa.

          Losing Kleya hurts like hell up to this day. I guess the pain will never cease, i'll just have to deal with it. But the thought of Kleya being together with Miller makes me feel at ease. Alam ko naman kasing hindi pababayaan ni Miller si Kleya kung nasaan man sila.

          "We're still on for tonight right?" tanong ni Wolfgang kaya tumango ako. Napansin kong may pag-aalala parin sa mukha niya kaya napangiti ako at tinapik siya sa balikat.

          "Don't worry, our mothers will get along," I assured him. Kasama kasi naming magdi-dinner ang mga ina namin mamaya.

          "I know, but my mom gets random outbursts. I don't want your mom to get freaked out," pag-aalala ni Wolfgang kaya umiling-iling na lamang ako.

         "Your Mom is a great person okay. She'll be okay," giit ko.

          Last month, we finally got to rescue Wolfgang's mom. We were also able to put his brothers behind bars for what they did to Wolfgang back then. Wolfgang's mom is still unstable mentally but she's getting better because of him.

          Together we went to the newly renovated Cosima sanctuary. A lot has changed for the last 2 months. Well, except for the fact that Cosima is still a highly secured place for survivors who need protection.

          "Shawn!" Bati ko nang sinalubong kami ni Shawn. May dala siyang clipboard at may pito na nakasabit sa kanyang leeg.

          "Buti andito kayo. May martial arts lesson kami ngayon, kailangan ko ng--"

          "No can't do Shawn." Ngumisi si Wolfgang. "Uncle Python wants to talk to us."

           "Oh come on!" Inis na sambit ni Shawn kaya natawa na lamang kami.

           Si Shawn ang pumalit sa dating posisyon ni Lauren. Tinanggap ito ni Shawn ng buong puso, yun nga lang andami niyang reklamo sa tuwing may makukulit na crowned at wretched na bagong recruit.
