IT is a big event for everyone. Saina was so busy making sure that the Pan Vejar – Belle collection will be a successful event. Lahat ng kikitain sa gabing ito ay mapupunta sa isang women's shelter na sinusuportahan ng kanilang kompanya. Saina Buensuceso is nervous as hell, she may look like she got it all, but deep inside of her, she is a wreck. Kabang – kaba si Saina. She wants everything to be in place tonight. Ayaw na ayaw niya ng palpak, and as if everybody knows that, lahat ng crew and staff na nadaanan niya ay halatang inaayos ang trabaho.

"Girl, calm down, everything is gonna be fine!" Ramona Calimbao patted her friend's back. Saina looked as if she's gonna faint any moment from now. This is a big deal for Bella. Ito ang kauna – unang charity event ng company, both women wanted it to do well. If it does well, hindi ito ang magiging hiling event nila. Ramona took Saina's hand and grinned when she realized how cold it was.

"All or nothing, right Saina?" Tanong niya sa kanyang kaibigan. Saina smiled at Ramona and nodded.

"I'll just look around over there." Tinungo niya ang direksyon ng mga damit. She saw the models running around, getting ready, everything will be okay and she knows that, pero hindi niya pa rin maiwasang kabahan. Saina walked in the other room expecting another batch of models and make – up artists, but what she found warmed her heart.

She found her whole world in one room – there's Haniel, Joshua and of course Gerardo. The three were sitting beside each other, napagigitnaan ng dalawang binata si Gerardo, Gerry's arms were resting on the back of the two children. Joshua and Haniel were busy playing with their phones habang si Gerardo ay naglilipat – lipat ang tingin sa dalawa.

"AHHH! WE WON!" Tumayo si Haniel, sumunod si Joshua. Nagyakapan ang dalawa na para bang nananalo sila sa Olympics. Gerry was shaking his head.

"Ang ingay ninyo mga anak, baka nakakaistorbo tayo sa kanila." Mahinahong wika ni Gerry.

"Mom! WE WON THE RANK GAME!" Napatingin si Haniel sa direksyon ni Saina, lumapit ito sa kanya para yumakap, sumunod si Joshua, suddenly, she was enclosed in the arms of these two baby boys – in her mind they will always be baby boys kahit na thirteen years old na ang mga ito at grade 7 na. She kissed their cheeks. Hinaplos na rin ang mukha ng dalawa.

"Joshua, I saw your Mama at the other room, she's getting ready, puntahan mo muna siya, anak."

"Okay, Mommy. Lika, Haniel, Samahan mo ako." The two left the room. Agad naman siyang lumapit sa fiancé niya. Gerardo sat on the couch, and she sat on his lap, automatically she wrapped her arms around his nape and hid her face on the crook of his neck.

"Tired?"

"Hmmm, yes... shh, 'wag kang maingay, nag-re-recharge ako." She always tell him that he is her rest, si Gerardo naman ay palaging nagsasabing siya ang bahay nito and she thinks those are the most beautiful things ever said to her – well except for the name of his son. He felt his hand caressing her back, as if telling her that everything will be okay. Saina looked at Gerry.

"What?"

"You asked me last night where I want to get married."

"And?"

"There's this little church in Italy in the heart of the countryside, surrounded by beautiful cattleya flowers. When the sun sets, it illuminates in the place and it's my favorite place. I used to come there with Haniel whenever it becomes too dark and too noisy in my head. I sat there, dreaming of a moment where I'd come with someone other than my son." Saina sighed and cupped Gerry's face. "I want to get married there with you, it doesn't matter if it's just us and the kids or with our family, I just want to marry you and be yours forever."

"Whatever you want, my love." He peck Saina's lips and they hugged again. For Gerry, this is the last puzzle piece that completed his whole life, and for Saina, this is only the beginning of her unlimited happiness.

Everything right now seemed to be in place, the models are all ready, finishing touches were being applied, the last-minute program adjustments are all done, but Pan Vejar – Birada seemed to be nervous, she's doing everything right now with her hands shaking, why? Because Mariake's little sister, his cousin Miguel's wife was looking at her with that dark expression on her face.

"Iya, give her a break. Kabang – kaba na si Panpan." Mariake nudged her little sister. Si Pan ang gumagawa ng last adjustments sa dress na suot niya para sa fashion show launch ng Morena clothing line nito kasama ng make – up line ng ni Saina Buensuceso at Ramona Calimbao – of course she knows them. They are both from famous business families. Kairos, her husband, might have mention a thing or two about them.

"Inapi ka niyan, naiirita ako." Mariah grumbled. "I wish I was there with you all those times." Mariake held Mariah's hand and kissed it. She is and will always be grateful to her sister.

"It turned out okay, Iya. Oh before I forget, what do you want for your birthday?"

"Hmmm, bakit? Tinatanong ba ni Miguelito?" Mariah chuckled. Hindi niya talaga maintindihan kung bakit hanggang ngayon, sa tagal nilang kasal ng asawa niya ay hindi nito maintindihan na ayaw niya ng kahit anong material na bagay. Miguel used to buy her a lot of designer things, bags, branded shoes and clothes, but for Mariah, those things doesn't matter at all. Hindi siya materyosang tao. She is happy and contented for whatever she has now.

Taman ang may ama na si Mia Cara, Caro Mio, Mico at siyempre si Mica. She is happy that she gets to wake up with the love of her life everyday and gets to bed at night with him again.

"Bakit ba hindi mo pagbigyan ang asawa mo?" Mariake asked her again. "Iya, if you tell your husband that you want the whole world, he will gladly give it to you." Napanguso si Mariah.

"But... isn't it obvious? What I want? What I want is for us to be together 'till the end of time. I don't need material things, Iake, I am contented with what I have and that is him, and our children."

Mariake shook her head. Mariah excused herself, bigla siyang nakaramdam ng awa kay Pan kaya umalis na rin siya dahil baka mamali pa si Pan Vejar – Birada sa pinagagawa nito sa kanyang kapatid.

When she left the room, she was greeted by the sight of her handsome but frowning husband leaning on the wall while looking intently at her. Mariah thought that Miguel must have heard her. Agad siyang lumapit sa kanyang asawa at humawak sa braso nito. She even touched his philtrum while giggling.

"Mukhang nautangan ka na naman, Tatay ni Mia Cara ha!" Her voice was low, but full of amusement.

"Do I make you that happy that you're not wanting any material symbol of my love and adoration, Mariah?"

"Miguel..." Tinawag niya ang pangalan nito. "I was broken when you met me, and you accepted all my flaws, you made me whole and loved me despite of it all, kahit na may participation ka sa nangyari noon – well it's not that bad because it resulted to our Mia Cara – and yes you make me that happy that I don't need anything anymore." Mariah kissed Miguel's cheek. "Isn't that enough?"

"I love you..." Miguel said to his wife. Mariah nodded.

"But if you really want to give me something on my birthday, I want a week vacation, with the kids, sa CLPH, then on my birthday you give me the best birthday sex ever. Are we clear on that?"

"Oh, yes, Mama ni Mia Cara." Miguel grinned and kissed Mariah's forehead.

In the middle of all the commotion, there is Gael Gallardo, lovingly looking at his fiancée and their kid – si Lily, it's not official yet, Lily isn't his yet, but they had a talk – Sariel and him – that after their wedding, after the honeymoon and all the other things that came with getting married next month – he would adopt Lily, and he would be her father. Hindi siya makapaghintay sa bagay na iyon.

Sariel and Lily were excited about this charity fashion show, sa sobrang tuwa noong mag – ina ay nag-dress up pa silang dalawa. Lily is Jessie the cowgirl in Toy Story habang si Sariel, zombie na Alice in Wonderland – paboritong character talaga niya iyon. Gael was giggling while his whole world was in front of him, Sariel was taking pictures of their daughter. Bigla itong lumingon sa kanya. Sinenyasan siya nitong lumapit sa kanila.

"Lily, take pictures of me and Daddy Gael." Wika ni Sariel sa bata. Tumayo si Gael sa tabi ni Sariel, Sariel put her arm around his waist and rested her head on Gael's shoulder. His fangs were showing – yup, he's dressed too, siya ngayon si Dracula. Sariel insisted on him getting dressed with them, fashion show naman kasi iyon at wala raw pakialam ang tao sa kung anuman ang suot nila.

This and other crazy things that Sariel does everyday makes him fall for her every waking moment of his life.

"What?" Sariel blushed. Gael laughed.

"I love both of you so much."

"Love ka rin namin ni Mama, Daddy Gael!"

Sariel laughed, this is what it feels to be contented and happy, it's an addictive feeling, this is something that she will never let go...

"Luh naka – costume sila, Cornelius oh, ang goals.!"

Spica Sihurano – Calimbao giggled when she spotted the little family near the main door of the charity event taking pictures of themselves. She suddenly missed her kids. Liu was eyeing his wife while looking at the family right in front of them. Inakbayan niya ang kanyang asawa at hinagkan sa noo.

"Gusto mo na bang umuwi?" He asked in a low tone. Spica shook her head.

"It's the first night away from our baby girl, medyo may sepanx ako, pero alam ko naman inaalagaang mabuti ni Kuya Paolo at Clari si Lia." Sabi nito sa kanya. Cornelius nodded. She looked at Spica again, kitang – kita sa mukha nito ang amazement sa mga nakikita sa paligid niya. She seldom leaves the house, she's busy taking care of their children, abala rin ito sa trabaho nito, kaya nang malaman niya mula kay Hailey na mayroon charity event na ito ay inaya niya si Spica.

It's been months since they last had a date outside the walls of their home. His wife used to be so outgoing and adventurous, but motherhood changed his wife. Mahal na mahal nito ang mga anak nila, pero madalas nakakalimutan ni Spica ang kanyang sarili and as her husband, he wants to make sure that Spica knows that if her priorities are their children, then his priority is his wife and her happiness, and their children too.

"Oh! That's Molly!" Sigaw ni Spica nang makita ang matalik na kaibigan ng bayaw nito. She's with her husband too. Lumapit sila upang batiin ang mga ito. Dio shook his hand, Molly and Spica exchanged kisses.

"Buti nakagala ka?" Molly was giggling.

"I made sure she'll have a break tonight. Paolo and Clari are taking care of the children." Siya ang sumagot. Spica chuckled again.

"Hindi naman sa pinag-o-overthink ko kayo, pero malay ninyo, ibinitin na ni Paolo si Thomas, Vanny at Lia kung saan." Molly was joking but what she said immediately wiped the smiles off the faces of Liu and Spica, mabilis pa sa alas – kwatro na tumakbo ang mag-asawa palabas ng building.

"Monica, what the fuck did you do?" Dio was laughing out loud. Napailing na lang siya sa kanyang asawa.

"It's just a joke! Hindi ko naman alam na uuwi sila agad! Or uuwi nga ba? Knowing Spica, baka magka-car sex lang sila." It was her turn to giggle but her giggles faded when she saw the dark look on his husband's face. "Dio ha!" She was pulled closer. "Dio!"

"Can you blame me? You always make me hot and bothered."

"Dio! Nasa public place tayo!"

"What? As if we haven't done it in public before? We can't do it later in our home, tatabi na naman sa atin ang kambal, tapos baka tumawag nang tumawag si Ica. She's in her 2nd trimester now. Kung ano – ano pa rin ang pinaglilihan niya." Dio nibbled that soft spot on her neck. Molly couldn't help but moan.

Two years ago, Nautica gifted them the chance of having their own children by agreeing to be their surrogate. Ica Consunji gave birth to twin boys – Molly and Dio couldn't be happier. They named the twins Aiden and Caden. Now the kids are a year and a half year old.

Now, Ica gave them a chance again. She's carrying another baby in her tummy, natutuwa siya dahil napakabait ni Ica sa kanya, pero kakaiba naman ito sa pinsang si Dio. Molly sighed. She stepped back away but Dio's hand was on her back, so he pulled him closer.

"What's with that look, my love?"

"It's just that... I never thought I will have all of these."

"Molly..."

"Masaya na akong may Cassandra at Castel, then Aiden and Caden came, now another one is on the way. You made me so happy, Dio. You gave me things I only imagine before."

"You deserve everything, Molly. Everything..."

Dio always tells her that and she had always believed him. Finally, she was able to say to herself that, this is her happy ending...

These are all their happy endings.

Some started in a hopeless beginning, settling for what they thought was for them, some wanted to play for revenge but the fates played with them harder, other had complicated and traumatic start in life, trying to get by every single day, building herself to be stronger, some are lonely, incomplete and longing, but found each and decided to never let go, and some was asking for a second chance in happiness, and accidentally they found it in each other...

Some... some are still hoping to finish what have started, longing for acceptance and love.

Whatever beginnings they had, they only had one ending and it's a happy one.
