A Journey of Two Spoliarium Lovers: The Other Experience (Journey Series)

Chapter 27

For days, we were at the hospital. Freya read the letters of Jaime and tried to translate them. She cried and laughed at some letters. But most of these touched her. She might be imagining right now the love between Maria and Jaime.

I then looked at the photos in the camera. I may have seen the different photos of my second family in their moments in Biliran, but most of the photos were of Freya.

"If you're scared of losing people, when they come to your life. Fight to keep them apo. Freya came into your life at your lowest point. Fight to keep her apo. She's rare. I tell you."

Jaime was right. Freya and I met a year after my best friend died. When my ex broke my heart, Freya came. I hated the day I decided to hurt her, to push her away instead of fighting for her.

I decided to fight for her.

But I don't know how.

I then remembered my promise to my best friend: to find things that are lovely in the Philippines.

"I want you to find things that are lovely in the Philippines. Promise me mate."

"I promise." I smiled at my best friend, hiding the tears. He hated anyone crying in front of him, "I can even make a book out of it if you want."

"Then make one hell of a book Harry. Not for me, but for you. You deserve it mate."

Book.

I want to make a book about Freya, the official thing that I found lovely in the Philippines.

And I loved it when I found her.

I decided on how to make it. I told Jaime about it and he was happy, telling me to create it immediately. But I didn't. I stayed and took care of Jaime until his death.

Days after, Maria and Jaime died of cancer. We all mourned for their death. But for Jaime and Maria, they died happily for they died together, in each other's arms.
