Knights and Princesses. bk 3 part 39.

(kinabukasana maagang bumangon si Eigh, narito na rin si Ghie, dumating sila ng mga bandang alasingko ng umaga. Lumabas si Eigh at may ilang bulaklak syang nakita sa may pinot, kumuha sya ng isa para malaman nya kung para kanino.)

Eigh: Cha!

Cha: yup?

(sagot ni Cha mula sa kusina. Nagbago ang plano ng Hotel nilipat ito sa isang mas medyo malayong lugar, at nanatili ang bahay.)

Eigh: flowers for you... from.... Shin.

Cha: oh.

(Tumakbo si Cha para kunin ang mga bulaklak, ngayon nama'y tinitingnan ni Eigh ang isang napakaengrandeng bouquet.)

Eigh: here's another one, from... TOP.

(napakaganda talag ng bouquet namangaha si Eigh sa desenyo nito.)

Cha: throw it out.

Eigh: what?

Cha: I don't like it if it's from him,

Eigh: haha, really mad at him, huh.

Cha: of course!

(bago maglunch dumating si Grace kasama si Christian,)

Eigh: doc!

Gra: waaah! A pleasure Eigh.. miss you a lot!

(nagbatian sila, pagkatapos magligpit nila Grace at Christian ng gamit kumain na ang lahat ng lunch. Kinahapunan umalis ang Knights and Princesses, kasama si Eunhyuk at si Christian papunta sila ng hotel para icheck ang operation nito. Naiwan si Grace dahil naligo pa ito, si Arwin naman ay naiwang mag-isa para maglakad lakad sa may beach. Nang lumabas si Grace sa bahay nakita nya si Arwin na nakaupo sa dulo ng tulay sa may shore, lumapit sya dito at tinabihan ito.)

Gra: hi.

Arw: hi.

Gra: how's life?

Arw: great, and busy.

Gra: uhm, love life?

Arw: negative.

Gra: haha. Why?

Arw: I don't know,

(dead aor, binasag ito ni Grace.)

Gra: uhm, you know what? When you said that I'll be finding someone better than you... I got really offended,

Arw: why?

Gra: 'cause I thought I already found it. But you gave me the strength to open up my senses again, and there he is, Christian.

Arw: do you really love him?

Gra: of course, specially now... that he's gonna be a father.

Arw: no way!?

Gra: haha,

Arw: congratulations,

Gra: thanks.

Arw: do the others know about it?

Gra: only you, Christian ang my family and Christian's family.

Arw: oh.

Gra: so Arwin, time's running... I want to find that ring lost in your fingers sooner. Okay?

Arw: oh, this?

Gra: yah.

Arw: promise!

(tumayo si Grace para sundan sila Christian.)

Gra: aren't you comiing?

Arw: no, I'll stay here.

Gra: okay, bye!

Arw: bye!

(pagkaalis ni Grace tumayo na rin si Arwin at naglakad sa tabing dagat, napatingin sya sa namumuong nimbus clouds.)

Arw: I GOT A GOOD JOB. GOOD FRIENDS. GOOD FAMILY. YOU HAPPY!!? I DON'T HAVE SOMEONE TO SHARE THOSE SLEEPLESS NIGHT! TO SHARE HOW TIRING IT IS IN WORK!

(kumulog.)

Arw: I LOST TWO OF THE PEOPLE I LOVE! EIGH LOST HERS!

(muling kumulog.)

Arw: WHAT WOULD YOU STILL WANT!?

(kumulog muli at bumuhos ang ulan, sinipa sipa ni Arwin ang dagat sa galit at pagsisi sa nasayang nyang pagkakataon kay Grace at kay Bom.)

Bom: who said I left!?

(napahinto si Arwin ng marinig ang boses ni Bom sa likuran nya, tumalikod sya at nakitang basang basa si Bom sa ulan.)

Arw: Bom???

Bom: have I told you that even if everything failed, I'll stay? I think I told you that.

Arw: Bom.

Bom: you didn't even had the time to call me... send me an email...

Arw: Bom.

Bom: what!? Are gonna say my name all day or are you gonna run to me and hug me tight!

(tumakbo si Arwin kay Bom at niyakap ito nang mahigpit.)
