YES, they arrived at the venue. Nacpan Beach Glamping in El Nido Palawan. They ride in the van provided by Heckson's airplane. She couldn't help but smirk when she remembered his last words. “It’s just a small gift for you and Maximo. A “Thank You” gift because you made my friend feel alive again. Please, Lara, don’t give up on him. Love him until your last breath, because I can assure you, Maximo will do the same. Believe me.She nodded her head and opened her mouth to speak, "I know, thank you again, Heckson. And please be there on time."The man laughed and touched the back of his head, showing he was somehow shy. “Of course, l would. We can't afford to lose the most handsome groom, can't we not?”She laughed at his statement. “Right.”When they arrived at the location, she was half paralyzed by the breathtaking view of the place. Her mouth parted as she roamed her eyes around the corner. She couldn't help crying because of the happiness she felt. Her decision was right to choose
LARA couldn't help but to smile wide. They are currently inside a boutique. She was with Maximo. Today was the day when they would get their body measurements for their wedding attire. After a few minutes, she hears the staff calling her. “Wait for me here,” she said to Maximo. Maximo smiled and nodded her head as a sign of agreement. “Sure.”She nodded her head in her response to him, then she followed the staff members who were calling to her attention. When she entered the room where the wedding gowns for the bride were placed, her eyes widened and her body paralyzed. Everything looked beautiful, and she couldn't take her eyes away from her designs. She could tell how expensive the materials were. They made the right decision of choosing this boutique. When she couldn't bear it, she extended her hands and let her fingers run to the gowns she requested to wear on her wedding day. “I can’t wait to wear this on my wedding day,” she whispered. It takes half an hour before they are
It's been a week since they got back to the Philippines, and they've been apart from each other. Since her father brings Maximo with him wherever he goes. Besides, Maximo was exhausted from the workload her father gave him. Her father orders him to get water from the well, which is unnecessary since they have a water line inside the house. However, her father was persistent in punishing and testing Maximo's patience and determined to prove his love for her. She was beyond thankful because Maximo understood everything without questions or complaints. Even though everything is new to him. “Mom, look what daddy made Maximo, how pitiful he is, he's a city boy, not a provincial boy. "Why does father keep making him work this kind of stuff,” she couldn't help but complain. Her mother laughed. “Just let him be. Maximo never complained about it, so, it means he understood your father intended to let him do that kind of stuff. Your father wants to see how much Maximo cares for you and loves
As she expected, her father was not pleased to see Maximo being with her. However, she couldn't possibly run away or avoid him, so she took a deep breath and walked towards her father and hugged him, but her father pushed her away. “I told you to come home, but that doesn't mean you will bring him with you!” her father told her angrily. She bowed her head. “But, Dad–”Maximo cut off her sentence by speaking up for himself. “Excuse me, sir, would you please lend me your time? I just wanted to explain myself,” Maximo asks her father, using a serious tone. While his hand was in his pocket, as if he was showing how confident he was and not afraid of any harm he might receive from her angry father. She couldn't help but to look at him. She did not expect this attitude, but somehow she was grateful that she saw how determined he is to fight their relationship. “What the–” His father angrily responded, which was cut off by Elecxxon. “You’re my grandfather? You’re so handsome,” Elecxxon
THIS would be the day of their flight to the Philippines. She feels mixed emotions; fear and excitement. She had a lot of questions at the same time. If she was able to face her family's anger and could calm them down and explain her side of the story. If she would, would they listen to her? And understand her? She took a deep breath. She hoped that everything would go well. She was clouded with thoughts, and she did not notice a familiar man walking towards them. She blinked her eyes twice when she suddenly saw his face. “Mikael?” She blurts out in disbelief. She just couldn't believe this man was there. Mikael smiled. “Babe! I miss you—”“What the f*ck!” Maximo curses while frowning. “Who are you?” he added while looking at Mikael. “Why would I answer you?” Instead of answering, Mikael asks him back, as if he does not care about Maximo's reaction. He even put his hand in his pocket. Maximo frowned and clenched his fist, ready to punch Mikael in the face. She immediately came
EpilogueLARA yawned; she was currently sitting at the side of the bed, and she just woke up. She stayed in that position for a few minutes before she decided to go straight to the bathroom. Then, she suddenly felt sick and she started to vomit. Well, it's just natural since she's pregnant. This is probably another symptom of morning sickness. She's been married to her boss for two years, and they were blessed with a child. She closed her eyes firmly because she felt mixed emotions at that time. Then, suddenly, someone strokes her back, as if he was comforting her. She blinked her eyes twice when she smelled the familiar men's perfume of Maximo. She immediately washed her mouth, and then she pouted her lips when she faced Maximo. “Hubby, carry me,” she said like a child. Maximo kisses her forehead first, then he carries her in his arms. She immediately hugged him on the neck. Then she buried her face in his neck and smelled it like she was addicted to him. “Make me breakfast pleas
