Isabel's taxi driver was very angry. He went outside his taxi. He punched his hand with his fist. He knocked on the glass of the car. Ken's rolled down the window.
"What's your problem, idiot? We almost got into accident because of your stupidity."
"I'm sorry, sir. It's all my fault." Ken answered on behalf of his driver.
"Shut up! I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to your driver."
"I already told you it's my fault. I ask him to block your car."
"For what? Do you want us all to be killed? If you want to kill yourself, go ahead. Don't drag us into hell."
"You don't understand sir. I want to talk to your passenger."
"Why didn't you call your girlfriend on her mobile phone instead of chasing after her? You almost cause an accident and risk other people's lives."
"I cannot call her because she blocked me on her phone. Please, I just need to talk to your passenger. This is very urgent."
"Okay I will let you talk to my passenger but please make it quick. We are already creating a scene by causing this traffic jam."
"Thank you sir."
"I don't understand young generation nowadays. They are so aggressive."
Ken knocked on the glass window where Isabel was sitting.
"Isabel, my love please talk to me."
Isabel didn't open the car side window. She turned her back from Ken. She didn't want to talk to him.
"You need to talk to Ken to put an end to this madness. Everyone is looking at us. We are already creating a traffic jam." Pretty said.
"I don't want to talk to Ken. Can you talk to him for me and tell him to go away?"
"Are you sure you don't want to talk to him."
"Yes. I don't even want to see him."
"Alright. If that's you want, I will not force you to talk to him. I'll do it for you instead."
"Thank you."
Pretty opened the car door and went out from the car. She went close to Ken.
"What do you want Ken?"
"I'm sorry Pretty but I need to talk to Isabel."
"I tried to convince her to talk to you but she doesn't want to come out."
"Please, I'm begging you. If she will not come out and talk to me, I will not remove our car from the way. I don't care how heavy the traffic will be."
Pretty was annoyed with Ken. She knocked on the car glass window. Isabel opened the car glass window.
"This boyfriend of yours is out of his mind. He said that if you will not come out and talk to him, he will not remove the car out of the way."
Isabel was very angry with Ken. She was ashamed to come out because there were a lot of people who came out from their cars to watch the spectacle. She had no choice but to open the car door and face Ken.
"What do you want?!"
"You."
"I'm serious."
"I am also serious with you."
"Stop this madness Ken. Are you not ashamed? A lot of people is watching us. You're causing a traffic jam."
"I don't care."
"What do you really want from me?"
"First of all, I would like to say sorry for leaving you. I didn't mean to make you lonely. I already know everything that happened between us especially about our past."
Isabel was taken aback on Ken's words. She wondered how he discovered about their past.
"I love you Isabel with all my heart and soul. I don't care how young you are. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Ken bent down on his knee. He took a small black jewelry box from his pocket and opened it. Inside the small black jewelry box was a diamond studded prong ring.
"Will you marry me, Isabel my love?"
Everyone was stunned to see a young and handsome man proposing to an old woman. The scene they saw was like a scene from a romantic movie. Their love life was like a story that would only happen in novels. Most people who witnessed the proposal wondered what type of love potion Isabel put on Ken's drink that made him fall deeply in love with her.
"I'm sorry Ken but I don't feel the same with you. Just save your diamond ring to a younger and more deserving woman. Don't waste your life with me. You're still so young and you can still meet a lot of wonderful woman."
Everyone was disappointed on Isabel's answer. They didn't expect her to turn down the proposal.
"Hey Grandma! Just say yes to him. Aren't you flattered to receive a marriage proposal from a young and handsome man?" One of the spectators cheered on Isabel.
"You don't understand what you're talking about. This young man here is out of his mind." Isabel replied.
"We don't think that he's out of his mind. He's only desperately in love with you."
"I'm begging you to please stand up and go home. Take a rest and once your mind is already refresh, get up, and look for a younger woman."
"No. I don't want any woman except you. I will do anything for you if you say yes to me."
"You have to stop this madness now! Remove your car on the way. You are already causing traffic and disturbing other people's lives. Don't you know that what you're doing is against the law?"
"Just say yes to him, Grandma so that he'll remove his car. We cannot pass through this bridge not unless you will say yes to him."
Isabel wanted to jump off the bridge. She didn't want to make a scene.
"Ok. Fine. Yes."
"Are you sure, my love?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Ken jumped for joy.
"Oh my love! Thank God. You don't know how happy I am. I promise you will never regret for marrying me. I will make you happy for the rest of our days. Oh Isabel! I love you so much."
Ken hugged Isabel. Everyone clapped their hands and cheered on the newly engaged couple.
Ken swept Isabel off her feet and put her back inside the taxi. He took 10,000 pesos out from his wallet.
"Morris, take this 10,000 pesos, The 5,000 pesos is for the taxi driver and the other 5,000 pesos is for you and Pretty. You can go anywhere with Pretty. If you want to check-in inside a hotel, go ahead. Just don't force her to do something she doesn't want to do. You know what I mean. And take good care of her for me."
"No, you don't have to. Take this 5,000 pesos with you and take good care of Teacher Isabel for me."
Morris put the 5,000 pesos back on Ken's hand.
"I don't know how I am going to thank you. I owe my happiness to you."
"You don't have to pay me back. You deserve to be happy."
"Thank you."
Pretty went together with Morris. Ken went together with Isabel. They parted ways. The taxi driver revved the engine of his car and moved his car out of the way. The flow of traffic in Marcelo Fernan Bridge went back to normal again.
"Where are we going to sir?" The taxi driver asked.
"To Plantation Bay."
"Ok."
"Hi my name is Morris." Morris offered his hand.
"Hello my name is Pretty."
"Nice to meet you Pretty. You name and your face is so pretty."
"Thank you."
"Is Plantation Bay ok with you or do you want to go to another place?"
"No, Plantation Bay is ok with me."
"Alright. I'll take you there and I will make you happy."
"I'm excited."
