"If tomorrow comes and I forget about this, and I forget about you, will you still love me?"
Yesterday. Love. Nothing else matters to Lee Gabriel than Odyssey Lee. If love was a manifestation, iyon ay ang pag-ibig ni Lee. At unti-unti rin yong naram...
"Kailan? You're technically married after that marriage license has been processed. Seremonya at certificate na lang ang kulang, Lee."
"I'll tell him before the ceremony."
"Please tell me not the day of the ceremony."
"I will try to tell him as soon as possible... if he still accepts me, then I will be thank—"
"Don't think about about that. He will accept you."
"Are you sure?" Tanong ni Lee.
Because they both know they aren't sure anymore.

Pagkatapos ng masaganang lunch ng lahat, Lee and Odyssey prepares for their marriage counselling and family planning seminar near the city Hall.
Magkahawak kamay ang dalawa at masaya, pero bakas pa rin ang pagaalala sa mukha ni Lee.
"What is it, wife?" Tanong ni Odi nang mapansin niya ito habang papasok sila sa dilaw na building. Their requirements are still processing, but he can't wait to call her his wife already.
"I will tell you something, Odi."
"Call me husband, L."
"I'm serious." Hindi pinansin ni Lee ang pangungulit ng lalaki.
"What?"
"I will tell it to you, later."
Odyssey crinkled his nose.
"Kinakabahan naman ako sa mga ganyan mo eh. Tell it to me now."
"Mamaya na. Sa bahay na siguro."
"Ang kulit." Kinurot ni Odyssey ng bahagya ang pisngi ni Lee. "Sinabi-sabi pa, tapos hindi itutuloy."
"Mamaya, promise. I just need to tell you my story."
"Your... story?" It was then that Odyssey finally realized that Lee is now willing to come clean.
Tumango si Lee.
"Okay... Tell it to me, later. If you're ready." Ngumiti si Odi para takpan din ang kabang nararamdaman niya. He is already willing to overlook this. But if she wants to start a life with him with a clean slate, then he welcomes the truth very much.
Sabay silang pumasok sa loob at may mga iilan nang mga couples na nakaupo. The speakers that day are pleasant nurses from the city's health center at marami silang kasabay sa seminar na 'yun.
Odyssey smiled on the thought that many couples are still choosing to believe in marriage dahil halos siksikan sila doon.
They sat in the vacant chair in front of another beautiful couple. Hindi nila napansin na nagbigay ng kakaibang ngiti ang lalaki sa pares.
Odi and Lee are oblivious over the fact that the guy at their back is not anymore listening to the nurses. Sa kanila na lang nakatingin ang lalaki at paminsan-minsang kinakagat ang labi, tinatanggal ang mga tuyong balat, at bahagya pang nagdugo ito.
