40 Epilogue

Ethan's POV

I forgot to tell you, we graduated from high school and we went to college at St. Louis University here in Baguio. We took both BS Nursingand started class and we are both scholars because of Father. Franco is taking Architecture and Kian, we have no news because he is no longer in Vigan but he will take care of it but we will not be disturbed anymore. Mom, on the other hand, is taking care of her hospital, then manang Celine and kuya Renny are also working at the hospital as janitress and ambulance driver.

So Derick and Franco and I were always the only three in the house. Yes, he is our third wheel or he prefers to be called "Couple's Best Man", corny amp but he wanted that.

"Franco, did you see Derick?", He just pointed outside because he was busy with video games, I just followed what he pointed out and I punched him. When I came out I saw him looking at the view while he was playing the guitar, and yes I taught him and I bought him a guitar.

"Hey bambi, enjoying the view", he lowered his guitar and hugged me, "You're my favorite view, Iloveyou", I smiled and kissed his forehead and we sat down.

"Bambi ... are you regretting your decision? Like you really love being an acolyte, like your life revolves there ", he hold my hand and smile, "Tantan, being an acolyte is not the only way to serve God. Being an acolyte was the role that Father gave me then. But if you really love serving the church and the Lord, you will do anything or accept any role as long as you believe in the "calling of Him". I'm not regretting my position today and you prefer to serve because you are with the person you love. ", I also pinched my cheek.

"It's true bambi, I like it better because I keep thanking Him about the blessings in my life with you already there", he shook it and we stood up and checked the view. (Music playing: I'll Never Go// Erik Santos)

I start strumming my guitar and he turns around and he grab his guitar and start to play the same song. While singing, we walk closer and I touched his chin and lowered our guitar

We wrap our arms around each other's body, I caress his back and I close his face, and he smack his lips to mine and passionately kiss. I remember the first time we met, our first touch of our hands and our confession and even our first kiss. It may be wrong in your eyes but our relationship is true and pure because God is in the center of the relationship.

We hug tight and I whisper, "I'll never go home far away from you", and he whisper back, "Because I am already home, you're my home, my home sweet home."
