Epilogue

This is the last chapter, if you reach the last part. I just want to say thank you. I hope that you learn something from Freya and Gabriel story. FIERROA (just remember everything happens for a good reason, beautiful purpose.) At sana nagustuhan nyo ang story nila. Hanggang sa susunod ulit... thank you.

HIS POV :

Mrs. and Mr Fruise

Wedding Ceremony at the

Manila Cathedral

🙏🤍🕍

You are invited...

I know that this is my parents punishment for me. Two months passed; ay hindi pa rin ako nakakalapit kay Freya. Nandito ako ngayon sa bar ko, kung saan tahimik akong umiinom.

Napatingin ako sa cellphone ko nang marinig kong nag riring iyon. Napangunot ang noo ko nang si Poseidon ang makita kong tumatawag. Naiinis kong tinap ang answer button.

"Oh? "Kalahating baso pa lang ang naiinom ko ay agang-aga sisirain na naman nito ang araw ko.

"Pareng Anghel, nasaan ka ba? "

"Bar."Matipid kong sagot bago nilibot ang tingin. Walang katao tao dahil pinasara ko. 24/7 bukas ang bar na ito.

"Takte ka! "Nailayo ang cellphone ko nang bigla itong sumigaw. May narinig akong bumubulong at ang iba ay parang nag sisigawan.

'Nasaan ang groom?! '

'Ano, nasaan na ba yan! Malapit nang dumating ang bride! '

"Pumunta ka dito sa Manila Cathedral. Ngayon na! Dapat nasa 10 minutes, nandito ka na! "Singhal sa akin nito.

"Anong gagawin ko dyan? "Mabuti sana kung ikakasal kami ng anghel ko. Kahit mag helicopter pa ako ay gagawin ko kung siya ang hihintayin ko sa harap ng altar.

"Ikakasal ka na--"Hindi ko na pinatapos ang sasabihin niya ay mabilis akong nagtatakbo patungo sa parking lot. Shit.

Ang susi ko!

Nakarinig ako ng busina, kaya napatingin ako sa unahan. Sa lahat ng araw ay sa pina-importante ko pang araw makikita ang gagong iyon. Napatingin ako nang biglang mag bukas ang bintana ng backseat. Teka anong ginagawa ni Liniea diyan. Napatingin ako sa batang babaeng nasa tingin ko ay magtatatlong taon na ito. Nakangiti ito habang kumakaway sa akin.

That smile reminds me of her mother when we were kids.

"Ano tatayo ka na ba dyan! Sakay na! "Wala na akong nagawa, kaya sumakay na ako.

"Faster! Baka mahuli ako! "Tumatawang tumango ito habang kasama ni Liniea sa backseat ang anak nito. Kaya napilitan akong maupo sa passenger seat.

"Salamat, Howard."Nakita kong bigla itong natigilan pero nagpatuloy pa rin sa pag dadrive.

Salamat kasi kung tinatrato mo siya ng tama noong panahon na kailangan niya ng karamay ay baka walang Freya ang hihintayin ko mamaya sa harap ng altar.

Salamat kasi inalagaan niyo ang anak ko habang nasa poder niyo. At salamat binigay niyo ang bagay na nais nya, ang hutisya.

Alam kong masakit para sayong makita ang asawa mo na nasa bilangguan, pero tumupad kayo sa usapan.

Nang makarating na kami sa simbahan ay dali dali akong tumakbo papasok ng simbahan ng marinig ko ang malakas na sigaw niya.

"Alagaan mo siya! Salamat din, Kuya Gabriel! "Hindi na ako lumingon, pero tumango lang ako sa kaniya bago ko tinakbo ang mga pagitan palapit ng altar nang may biglang tumugtog.

Napalingon ako sa paligid nang makita kong ang lahat ng tao ay nakatingin sa akin. Naramdaman ko na lang ang hila sa kin ni Mike papuntang dressing room. Agad kong isinuot ng mabilis ang tuxedo na binigay niya sa akin. Napatingin ako sa salamin. Mabuti na lang pag-umaalis ako, o kahit hindi ay lagi akong naliligo at naka ayos. Napahawak na lang ako sa golden kong buhok. Kahit ako nagtataka kung kanino ko ito namana dahil wala naman daw sa pamilya namin. Nakita ko ang saya sa mukha ni Greene. I know, son, that both of us were so excited to complete our family.

When the visions around you

Bring tears to your eyes

And all that surrounds you

Are secrets and lies

I never knew that the crybaby would be my queen someday. I never knew that the cupid hit me with the arrow when you looked at me wearing your sweetest smile. Hindi ko inakalang kaya kong maghintay sayo ng ganoon katagal when all I wanted before was to have multiple women, but it never happened even once.

I'll be your strength

I'll give you hope

Keeping your faith when it's gone

The one you should call

Was standing here all along

You are my angel, a beautiful angel that saves me from death. You take my breath away and give my heart peace. You are my first kiss, my first love, my first heartbreak, my first touch, and my first in everything. I never look at anyone after I set my eyes on you.

And I will take

You in my arms

And hold you right where you belong

Till the day my life is through

This I promise you

As I promised your father, I will wait for you and love you genuinely. I would trade my wealth just to see your beautiful smile, like what I saw before. You made my life when our first child was born. You made me a man, and I do crazy and funny things just to see your smile every single day.

I loved you forever

In lifetime before

And I promise you never will hurt you anymore

I give my word

I give my heart (I give you my heart)

This the battle we've won

And with this vow

Forever has now begun

I always love you, my Queen, my Freya, my crybaby, my beautiful angel, and soon to be my Mrs. Fruise.

(Just close your eyes) Close your eyes

(Each loving day) Each loving day

(And know this feeling won't go away) No

Till the day my life is through

This I promise you

This I promise you

I saw her tears, but I don't mind for now. Like what I promised to you when you ran to me. You will never feel the pain aside from the tears of joy. I don't care if people see me crying today. The most beautiful woman I laid eyes on before is my bride today.

Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)

When I hear your call

Without you, in my life baby

I just wouldn't be living at all

(And I will take) I will take

(You in my arms) You in my arms

(And hold you right where you belong)

Right where you belong

Till the day my life is through

This I promise you babe

Nakikita kong napapaluha na sina mom at Liniea sa tabi. While my friends are, as usual, grinning and smiling, except for Russie, his emotions are light today. I saw Howard smiling while sitting next to his daughter. My decision was right. I don't want to see another child grow full of hatred in her life and will never experience a colorful childhood life.

(Just close your eyes)

(Each loving day)

(And this feeling won't go away) No

Every word I say is true

This I promise you

Every word I say is true

This I promise you

Ooh I promise you…

Oh yeah

Hindi ko mapigilan halikan ang kamay niya pagkahatid ni dad sa akin. Narinig ko ang tawanan sa paligid.

"Pareng Angel, walang aagaw sa Anghel mo! Kaya relax ka lang! "Mas lalong napuno ng halakhakan sa loob ng simbahan. Kahit iyong paring magkakasal sa amin ay nakangiti rin. Habang si Freya ay nakangiti rin sa akin.

Her smile reminds me of the second time I met her. When she saves my life. And it turned out I was hit by the king of love, a cupid.

"Daddy! mommy! "Narinig kong sigaw ni Greene sa kalapit ng mommy na tuwang tuwa habang pinapatahan ni mom sa pag-iyak. Yes, son. We are a complete family now. After waiting a decade, you have a mom and an incoming sibling.

Hindi ko na namalayan na tapos na pala ang wedding ceremony. Kaya after ni father sabihin ay mabilis kong itinaas and belo ni Freya.

"I pronounced you husband and wife; you may now kiss the bride." After he said that, I wiped her tears first before I kissed her deeply and passionately.

Narinig kong malakas na palakapakan ng mga tao sa paligid, pero siya lang ang tanging nakikita ko sa mga oras na ito. Pinagdikit ko ang noo namin at tungki ng ilong namin.

"Saksi ang anak natin, ang mga tao sa paligid at Diyos kung gaano kita kamahal. Tulad ng sabi ko, ikaw lang ang babaeng ihaharap ko sa altar. "I see the most beautiful and sweetest smile I've ever seen, her smile.

"Mr. Fruise.''She whispered before looking at the people who witnessed our never ending love story.

"My Mrs. Fruise." I hugged her tightly while watching our son run to us. Pagkarating niya ay mas lalong umiiyak ito nagpatawa sa paligid.

My son's dream is to have a complete family. He was crying because I fulfilled one of his childhood dreams. Which is to have a mother in our home.

The vendor and your father were right; I was hit by a cupid, and you are my destiny. I loved you before you knew my name, and you loved me.

Isaiah 60:22

"When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen."

A verse I kept in my heart after I asked and prayed to God in this church where we exchanged vows.

I am Gabriel Fruise. I was once Señorito's devil, but I turned into a knight after I met the angel of my life. My Freya, my Angel, my Queen, and my Mrs. Fruise.

TE AMO, my angel of my life, who brought me to heaven and gave me an angel.
