Third Person POV

Dennise heart quickly jumped in happiness when she saw Alyssa opened her eyes. It's been a week since she got shot.

"Hey.." She heard Alyssa mumbled she quickly tell Ara to call the Doctors and tell them that Aly just woke up.

The doctor came to check her and her vitals.

"She's doing good Dra. Mamaya ay ipapatanggal ko na ang mga apparatuses na nakakabit sa kanya and she will be transferred to private room since she's out of the woods." The doctor gladly said. She smiled and she held Alyssa's hand.

"You heard that baby? Thank you Love for fighting. Thank you for coming back to me" Den said and she kissed Alyssa's hand.

The doctor attending on Alyssa quickly told the nurses to remove the apparatuses from Alyssa. Also Alyssa got transferred to her Private room.

"Babe. You want apples?" Den asked Alyssa.

"Yes baby. Share tayo ha?" Alyssa replied and smiled sweetly

"Uy naglalambing ang baby ko." Alyssa giggled

"Syempre noh. I'll make it up to you Mahal. Babawi ako sayo" Alyssa replied.

"Baby naman. I told you na it's fine diba? You don't need to make bawi okay?" She said and  cupped Aly's cheek.

"It was an honest mistake love. Naconfuse lang ako that time pero i know deep in my heart that it's always you" Alyssa said while directly looking at Den's eyes

"cheesy mo ha." Den said and secretly wipe her tears.

"Are you crying??" Alyssa asked worriedly.

"No baby. Im perfectly fine." Den said and smiled

"Im contented kasi andito ka ulit sa tabi ko. Im happy because kahit gaano kabigat yung challenge na ibinigay saatin ay nandito padin tayo. Im glad kasi hanggang sa huli you chose to stay with me. Ly. We will continue our plans this time. No turning backs okay?" Alyssa shed a tear and she nodded. She kissed Den's forehead.

Suddenly someone opened the door. It was none other than Kylie.

"Hey." Alyssa called her. She slowly walk towards Den and Aly.

"Kylie—" Alyssa was stopped by Kylie.

"Let me start first okay?" Kylie said

"Aly i know from the start i saw you na im attracted to you. Habang tumatagal i noticed that im slowly falling for you. Naramdam ko yun Everyday that i am with you. Seeing you makes me happy. Being beside you makes me complete. But hindi kasi iyon ang usapan Alyssa eh. You love me because you thought that i am Dennise. Masakit pero kailangan kong tanggapin. After you said na you love me as well as Den. My heart jumped into so much Happiness. But i know na you truly love Dennise. Yung pagmamahal mo saakin ay never na magiging kapantay ng kay Dennise. I just realized na Den loves you too so much. I saw how she cares for you. I know she loves you so much. And i can see na you do the same way for her. The way you look at her.  It is full of admiration. The fact the you love each is equal to happiness. Eternal Happiness. Im happy for the both of you. And Aly, please be happy for me. You too as well Den. Be happy always" Kylie confesses while shedding tears. Alyssa suddenly felt guilty.

"Im sorry Kylie. I didn't meant to hurt you" Alyssa replied

"I know Alyssa. Im fine okay?" Kylie reassured

"Please take care of her." Kylie silently said

"will do. Thank you Kylie and im sorry for me being a bitch" Dennise said and they both laughed

"Hahaha. Im sorry too. But you know Den. Im bitchier than you" Alyssa's room filled with laughs. Kylie said that she needs to go because she need to go to the Operating room for her Appendectomy.

"Arayyy!!!" Alyssa exaggeratedly said agad namang nagaalala si Den dito.

"Hala im sorry baby. Tell me where it hurts???"

"Dito oh." Alyssa pointed at her cheeks.

"You need kiss ganon?" Alyssa nodded like an infant.

"Too cute pero nakakahiya kila Mom and Dad" Dennise said at napasimangot naman si Aly.

"Excuse us first. We will buy you your lunch okay??" Her mom said and they leave the room.

"So baby tayong dalawa nalang ang nandito. What now mahal ko?" Alyssa said and wiggles her eyebrows.

"Manyak!" Den said and sat beside Alyssa

"Sarap mo kasing landiin love."

"I know. I know kaya dapat ako lang  Valdez! Sinasabi ko talaga sayo!"

"Opo naman aba! Hinding hindi kita ipagpapalit"

"Siguraduhin mo lang."

Dennise stood up and reached for the remote control. She turned on the Television.

"We are now opening the Murder Case of Alyssa Caymo Valdez" the speaker said.

"Honorable Emmanuel Gaston re- opened the 213-*** case."

Alyssa looked at Dennise worriedly.

"The case had been overruled."

"Alyssa found not Guilty." Everyone in the courtroom clap their hands.

"I know love. Hindi ko hahayaan pa na matalo tayo."

Suddenly the door swung.

"That was a week ago Ly." Den said and hugged Alyssa.

"Malaya na ako?" Alyssa asked and tears again fall.

"Yes love. You're innocent after all." Everyone in the room celebrated.

"I love you so much Den" Alyssa suddenly said.

"And I love you more my Love" Dennise said and pinched Aly's nose and kiss her.
